Battlecars

GR_CoB · Nov 4, 2020

Any of you built passenger cars for mud and light off-road use? If so, post them up and have some fun. Battlecars, Gambler cars, Mad Max cars, Safari cars, etc. Here are a few of my personal favorites from reddit, including the now famous BATTLEGHINI.

I like the Toyota looks real nice!

What do people do, if anything, about upgrading wheel bearings and brakes? All of those seem like they would tear up some OE components the way they are set up. I'd especially hate to be next to that 300 on the highway.

Not Mine, just seen locally...we have a local college with a well known/respected Motorsports program, as well as Auto/Diesel (www.unoh.edu)
these are both Student's cars...

and while not a Battle Car per say... This Next is a similarly questionable modification...

They remind me of the adventure bikes.

That reminds me of that Grand Tour episode where they all go nuts with this:

Does my Camry count?

Eurowise (Charlotte, NC) just finished their latest build:

I'm just waiting on the production rear tubular bumper to match the front and rock sliders and then I'll buy as a set with the skid plates. When I need tires next I'm going to 265/65 Duratracs with a 2" lift.

Throw some all terrains on it, or aggressive snow tires, and it will!

I saw their lifted Cayenne squad in person. Those are quite some units...

Were you at Uwharrie?

On a separate occasion, yes. But that's not where I saw the Cayennes. I saw those at their shop, while one of our Volvos was getting a timing belt at Swedish Connection next door from Eurowise. So I wandered over to kill some time.
