SEMA 2013: WARN’s AEV Double Cab Brute
WARN has a pretty serious track record of building exciting, purposeful, and totally badass show vehicles. We’ve seen rock crawlers, lifted pickups, and tricked out Jeeps, but this is the first time we’ve seen all three of those combined into one.

When it comes to rock-racing, there’s few names more recognizable than Shannon Campbell. There’s no surprise that his vehicle is just as notable.

This built-up Jeep Wrangler TJ is one of those, and between the BF… Continue reading SEMA 2013: Built-up Jeep Wrangler TJ Rock Crawler

SEMA 2013: Rob MacCachren’s TRAXXAS Race Truck
Even though you’re probably familiar with TRAXXAS—this isn’t an R/C car—it’s a serious off-road racing machine. Rob MacCachren’s TRAXXAS race truck is one of the more well-used race rigs we’ve seen at SEMA so far. Rob’s truck has 35″ tires, gnarly FOX Racing suspension, and more travel than you probably know what to do with.… Continue reading SEMA 2013: Rob MacCachren’s TRAXXAS Race Truck
SEMA 2013: A Really Rad Willys
Every once and a while you come by a vehicle that almost perfectly blends classic heritage, capability, and a little bit of new-school engineering. This year at SEMA we stumbled upon one of those vehicles, an early Willys Jeep, which has had its fair share of modifications and upgrades. Powered by an upgraded V6 VORTEC… Continue reading SEMA 2013: A Really Rad Willys
