I always keep an eye on my local classifieds website for good deals on Jeep parts, accessories, etc. Invariably I wander into the Jeeps for sale section. I’m consistently amazed by the crazy project vehicles people build—I’m not talking a little crazy either. From custom fabricated bodies to home-built tube frame vehicles, these vehicles are out there.
I thought it would be cool to make an ongoing post of the wild and wacky vehicles I come across in my travels. If you’re reading this and you either own a crazy rig or have seen one, please post pics/descriptions. For this post, the vehicle doesn’t have to be a Jeep, it can be anything weird or out of the ordinary. I’ll start off with a few that caught my eye this week.
Scout Monster - This rig looks wild and it’s built wild too. Custom 4-link suspension up front and 3-link in the rear. It’s set up for 44s, but the pic shows it with 33s…maybe that’s why it looks a bit off. This rig is for sale at ksl.com and can be yours for just $3250. The seller will also throw in a winch for $100.
Custom Crawler with Injected 454 - This wacky ride features a home-made aluminum body complete with removable soft top, windows and doors. Other features include a fuel injected 454, TH400 auto trans and dual transfer cases.
‘53 Willeys with 44’s - This wacky Willey’s features 44” Dick Cepek Fun Country mud tires on alum rims and is powered by a Ford 302 with chrome package and 4BBL. Don’t know that I’ve ever seen a Willey’s with 44s…pretty cool.
1988 Suzuki Samurai - This crazy little rig is custom built with all Toyata parts. The owner has lengthened the wheelbase to 91″ and put a set of 33″ mudders under it.
Super Sized Rock Crawler - This crawler is a custom “Bummer” kit built on a ‘74 3/-ton Chevy frame. It rides on 2 1/2 ton Rockwell axles with 6.72 gears and 46″ Mickey Thomson tires. A fuel injected Chevy 350 powers this monster.
