Building a Jeep to race in the King of the Hammers has been a long goal of mine ever since i got into Jeeps 15 years ago. It is a race like no other, testing both the driver and the machine through various terrain, all while the course is devoted to break anything and everything trying to race its way through.
It is finally time to see if we have what it takes to not only turn a Jeep Wrangler JK into a race buggy, but to also make sure this will survive and make it to the finish line!
2024 King of the Hammers here we come.

Welcome back to the channel! We have done all kinds of jeep upgrades, mild to wild, however its time to go a little further and take the build up a notch. We have around 8 months to turn this into a KOH 4500 Class rig which sounds like a ton of time, but will slowly creep around the corner!
In this first video we start removing the unnecessary "Jeep" parts, leaving the frame and tub.
While we are building a dedicated KOH/Ultra 4 rig, alot of these projects will transfer over to almost any build (Rollcage, suspension design, engine, trans, etc). This is going to be a very fun Jeep build and im excited to bring you all along on the ride!
