How are we feelin' about this?!
Sparks Motors took a 2017 Polaris Slingshot SLR manual and made it off-roady. The Diesel Brothers-built machine now wears RZR Pro R front suspension, custom mounts, reworked steering geometry, a 10-foot-wide stance, and 37-inch Mickey Thompson tires up front. Out back, the single rear wheel remains, but it rides on a custom 18-inch-longer swingarm, revised belt-drive gearing, a 38-inch Baja Boss tire, and a double-sided Venom beadlock wheel. Baja Designs lighting, custom Corbeau seats, an Excursion top, and a newer Slingshot front end complete this wild three-wheel desert mashup. The real question--how does it do in the desert?

Can-Am is showing how far its side-by-side platforms can stretch with two wild new concepts: the Defender Prerunner and Maverick R XRay. The Defender Prerunner reimagines the utility machine as a six-wheeled desert race-support vehicle with 35-inch tires, an enclosed four-seat cab, Sparco seats, and a trophy-truck-inspired LinQ bed for tools and spare parts. The Maverick R XRay heads the opposite direction, turning Can-Am’s performance SSV into a Glamis-inspired dune machine with a two-wheel-drive layout, paddle tires, active roof spoiler, translucent backlit panels, and customizable lighting. Neither is production-bound, but both hint at Can-Am’s future direction.

A Lyn what?

Charles Lorenzo’s 1958 Lyn Airvan is the kind of junkyard rescue that stops people in their tracks. After two and a half years of convincing, he bought the van for $4,000 and transformed the moldy storage shed into a 4x4 turbodiesel oddball. The original seized Chevy inline-six was replaced by a Mercedes-Benz OM617 diesel and four-speed automatic, backed by a Ford Highboy NP205 transfer case. Jeep Grand Cherokee axles, rebuilt leaf springs, rack-and-pinion steering, LED lighting, custom wiring, Dolphin gauges, and custom HVAC round it out. Now roadworthy, it is becoming Charles’ daily driver and work truck for helping people in his church with home improvement projects.

Happy Friday! Yup, you got that right--it's a 57 Bel Air Blazer.

Kevin Samson’s latest creation is one of the wildest Chevy mashups around, blending 1957 Bel Air sheetmetal with a 2003 Chevy S10 Blazer. Built to resemble a custom 1957 Chevy Nomad 4x4, the rig combines Marketplace, eBay, and car show-sourced parts with plenty of fabrication. Kevin shortened and narrowed panels, modified the hood and fenders, added chrome trim, strengthened the body with pipe, and finished it with rattle-can paint. Underneath, the Blazer remains mostly stock with a 4.3-liter V6, 4L60E, two-speed transfer case, 3.42 gears, and four-wheel drive.

Best part? It’s his daily driver.

Nathan Hayashi and The Gear Shop took an unusually simple approach to Dakar Rally competition: start with a factory Ford Bronco Raptor and keep much of its core hardware intact. The team bought a dealership-sourced Bronco Raptor, shipped it to Morocco, and retained the stock control arms, CV axles, and Dana 50 rear axle. Race prep included an FIA roll cage, racing seats, custom fuel tanks, roof cap, and sand-fighting intake. Despite a hard hit from a T5 truck, CAN bus damage, melted wiring, and broken ball joints, the street-legal Ford platform proved it could survive serious desert abuse.

Doug Avery’s 1983 Toyota SR5 4x4 is a full-on ’80s off-road time machine, transformed from a rough trail rig into one heck of a clean mini truck. The truck now runs a 350-cubic-inch GM crate V8 topped with dual Edelbrock four-barrel carbs, backed by a rebuilt TH350 automatic and the stock Toyota transfer case. Doug kept the factory axles and 4.10 gears, added dual Skyjacker shocks at each corner, a body lift, and 35-inch Super Swamper Boggers. The rare aftermarket stepside bed, red oak floor, detailed engine bay, custom interior, and clean paint complete the throwback look.

INEOS Automotive has joined SMT Defence and NMS UK to form Team Grenadier, proposing a modified INEOS Grenadier for the UK Ministry of Defence Light Mobility Vehicle program. The rugged 4x4’s ladder-frame chassis, permanent four-wheel drive, and beam axles make it a strong foundation for military, rescue, and tactical use.
