Ian dives into one of his favorite body styles, a low-center-of-gravity crawler. This TJ build keeps lift to a minimum while running massive 40-inch tires on JT axles. Making it all work takes plenty of welding, clever fabrication, and ingenuity.

Ian wraps up the JK Buggy with powerful off-road lighting, durable protective flooring, a custom infotainment system, and one-of-a-kind exhaust; with the build complete, there's only one thing left to do: put it to the test.
