Ian Johnson customizes a 2013 Jeep for Rugged Ridge for MotorTrend's Ultimate Adventure. Every vehicle Ian builds is completely custom. During the first episode he cuts the frame and stretches the body.
On episode 2 of the Rugged Ridge build for MotorTrend's Ultimate Adventure, Ian Johnson installs a long-arm superlift kit onto the frame, a Dana 44 front axle and Hawk brakes!
The Rugged Ridge Jeep really comes together in the final build episode, where Ian adds Bushwhacker fender flares, designs a creative sleeping space for himself, and adds corner armor. See the finished product, "The Javalanche" (because it's part Jeep and part Avalanche) as we head out to the start of the Ultimate Adventure!
