Ian loves turning trash into treasure. Using a 2-door Jeep JK body that’s currently sitting in the field behind his shop, he plans to create a throwdown southern style buggy. He will start by building a custom chassis underneath the JK tub. Then he will add axles, long tube suspension and 40-inch wheels. This project will finish with big horsepower…and even bigger tires.

This multi-part build will return later in the season for the addition of bumpers, winch, and all of the other items Ian needs to help this JK buggy perform off road. Because the chassis is custom-built, Ian can also make brackets to fit some of the suspension parts.
