Maxxis Off-Road Runner

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnrbWoPNi70

On this episode of Dirt Every Day presented by 4 Wheel Parts, Fred and Dave finally get the Mad Maxxis Off-Road Runner out to the desert to find out just how capable this one of a kind 4x4 is… and for some flat out fun. This car started out as a tired and rust ravaged 1973 Plymouth Road Runner and has been transformed into a 5.0 V8 Cummins Diesel powered four wheel drive off road monster! Dave Chappelle at Chappelle’s Kustoms designed and built the chassis and suspension parts on the Off-Road Runner in just over a month.

Building the car:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uoi95SBE2wM

On this episode of Dirt Every Day presented by 4 Wheel Parts, Fred and Dave build a post apocalyptic 4x4 muscle car - the Mad-Maxxis Off-RoadRunner. Starting with a forgotten 1973 Plymouth Road Runner, they plan to power this one of a kind car by stuffing the next generation Cummins 5.0L V8 turbo diesel crate engine under the rusty hood. Make no mistake, this is not your standard TRAR build. This Off-Road Runner will have an Allison Transmission and a beefy transfer case to send that sweet Cummins power to all four Maxxis RAZR MT tires.

This car never would have been restored. the body was literally disintegrating, the frame was damaged and weak, and the interior was trashed. The engine was probably a turd too, since this was a '73. It would have been cheaper to build a completely new car out of actual money. At least here, it's up and driving again. Better that than being tossed in a crusher or allowed to rot away in a pile of weeds.
