Xtreme Off Road

Starting with an '81 Datsun diesel pickup and a $10k budget, we'll build a capable, one-of-a-kind rock crawler.

A set of body panels and some steel tubing are the foundation of an ULTRA4-inspired race truck with classic Bronco style!

Our diesel pickup receives a 4-link suspension, DIY beadlocks, and aggressive 42" tires.

Our '66 Bronco has plenty of vintage style but it will receive a lightweight, modern EFI engine for top performance!

Our 1981 diesel pickup gets 14" air shocks on all four corners, giving us plenty of articulation on the trail. Plus: an oxy-fuel torch can save you time when welding thick metal.

Fresh sheet metal will make our Buckin' Bronco desert racer look like the classic '66 Ford. Plus: Our 1981 diesel pickup gets beefy drive shafts on the cheap!

Our $10k budget build flexes its muscle on the trail! You don't have to have a big budget for big fun!

We take a beat-up Suburban and outfit it with everything our inner survivalist could ever want!

Our "end-of-the-world" Suburban gets military-grade portal axles for maximum performance and reliability.

Our desert racer gets seats and safety belts designed for maximum comfort and safety. Plus, a custom welding cart that holds everything you need!

Ian gives you all the info you need to build reliable, heavy-duty driveshafts for your off-road rig.

Our post-apocalyptic Chevy gets even more "Xtreme" with not two, but three bomb-proof portal axles!

It's the ultimate field trip! We visit Moab for the 50th anniversary of the Easter Jeep Safari.

Our Coyote-powered desert racer project continues, as we prep the chassis for a high-tech suspension setup.

We modify the body of our survivalist Chevy to fit a custo-designed 6x6 driveline, then tear into the suspension of a '16 GMC Denali!

Our custom GMC Denali chase rig receives race truck-inspired bed storage and high-end off road lighting, then our Bronco gets an innovative fuel system.

To get more power and performance, we swap the stock engine in our LJ for a Hemi.

Ian visits the Unlimited Off-Road Expo in Louisville and does a Jeep JK build in front of a live audience!

The Adventure Jeep receives heavy-duty body armor, and an easy-to-install pickup bed kit.

Our first-ever 4x4 van gets a Cummins 5.0L diesel engine and other upgrades.

The Adventure Jeep build continues, with custom 9" axles designed for serious wheeling.

Our Nissan NV 2500 van becomes a 4x4 beast, with a diesel powerplant and heavy-duty axles!
