8. Budget TJ Build

November 8, 2025

Ian Johnson 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 some classic Build for Off Road ingenuity. Ian shows how to create a truly bomb-proof TJ that's tough, capable, and built on a budget.

7. JK Southern Style Buggy - Part 3

November 1, 2025

Ian Johnson wraps up the JK Buggy project with a few final touches, including powerful off-road lighting, durable protective flooring, a custom 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a one-of-a-kind exhaust setup. With the build complete, there's only one thing left to do -- get this rig out in the dirt and put it to the test.

6. XTF Test Mule

October 25, 2025

Ian gets his hands on a Factory Five Racing XTF test mule -- a lightweight off-road platform with serious potential. The mission: transform it into a hardcore support rig for the Build for Off Road Adventure Ride. He starts by breathing life into the engine, and then it's all about strength and control.

5. Episode 5

September 20, 2025

For part 2 of Ian's southern-style JK buggy build, he builds out monster axles to handle the kind of abuse only 40-inch tires can dish out. Sparks fly as he cuts and clears the inner fender wells, making room for all that rubber and travel.

4. JK Southern Style Buggy - Part 1

September 13, 2025

A sunbaked Jeep JK tub is reborn as a no-holds-barred, Southern-style throwdown buggy. Ian begins with a custom chassis to cradle massive axles, long-tube suspension, and towering 40-inch tires -- all backed by big horsepower and an even bigger attitude.

3. Ep 3

September 6, 2025

Ian takes a bare Jeep Gladiator bed and turns it into the ultimate overlanding trailer! Starting with a rugged kit tube frame, Ian welds in an arsenal of custom accessories built for adventure, then lays down a killer paint job to match his custom Jeep.

2. Off-Road Prep

August 30, 2025

How do you prep your offroad vehicles for their next trip? That's what Ian is going to show you today. He's getting his LJ buggy, which has been on the trails for almost seven years, ready for an end-of-your-off-road adventure.

1. Ep 1

August 23, 2025

The legendary FJ45 is back in the shop, and Ian is ready to take it to the next level! He gets the aluminum bed coated for a rugged, showstopping finish, dials in the steering, and hand-builds a bulletproof transfer case to bolt right up to the beast.
