Things change fast around here, and we want to know how you guys actually like seeing these builds come across your feed.

Do you want to follow a build a little at a time through daily posts, or would you rather see the entire build dropped all at once?

Do you care about the specs, parts, and details behind the rig—or are you mainly here for the pictures?

We’re sitting on a pile of content from the last few builds, and we want to share it in the way you actually want to see it.

Drop a comment and let us know:

Daily build updates or full build galleries?
Detailed specs or mostly pictures?

While you’re deciding, here’s a sneak peek at our latest full-tube chassis Jeep LJ before it headed off to paint.

We did a new design for the Jeep Chassis winch mount that removed the tube work and has a little bit cleaner look to it.

We have built some awesome Jeeps over the years because we live in the best country on earth. Cheers to America. #250

This 4 Door JK is going to be BRIGHT !

07/01/2026

As we celebrate Independence Day, we wanted to showcase a build that represents what American fabrication, American craftsmanship, and American off-roading are all about.

Meet Tombstone.

Built on the Wide Open Design Rocketship chassis platform, Tombstone wasn't assembled from a random collection of parts. Every component was selected to work together as a complete system—from the suspension geometry and driveline package to the cooling system, steering, and braking components.
The result is a purpose-built trail and rock machine powered by an LS 427 cubic inch engine, sitting on 43" SX Stickies, and backed by proven components designed to handle real-world abuse.
Some of our favorite details include:
• Wide Open Design Rocketship Chassis
• LS 427-Based Drivetrain
• Crane Axle Magnum Knuckles
• WOD 7075 Aluminum Links and Trailing Arms
• Radflo Coilovers & Bypass Shocks
• Atlas Transfer Case
• WOD Tilt Steering Column
• WOD 38”x19” Cooling Package
• 43" Super Swamper SX Stickies
This is the kind of vehicle we're proud to design, fabricate, and build right here in Tennessee. Check out the full photo gallery and build breakdown to see every detail of Tombstone and what goes into creating a purpose-built off-road machine.

We have been working hard getting all of the new tabs and brackets ready to go for the Rocketship Rockbouncer chassis. We are putting in a lot of work so you guys can get these chassis and finish them out easier. What all tabs do you think other builders never include? What do you guys want to see tabbed out next ?
