Here are some pics of the Lucky Fab chase truck. The truck was built for multiple uses but had two main objectives in mind. 1). Being capable of pre-running and chasing everything from Baja to the Mojave desert, and 2). Having a capable chase truck that can perform well without 10 million squeaks and rattles while hauling ass down Old Puertocitos road in Baja. Anybody who's taken a chase truck down that road knows what we're talking about. The truck is a F350 Diesel that's been modified from start to finish by Lucky Fab. The suspensions been modified to lower the stance and center of gravity with relocating the suspension mounting points and upgrading the suspension components. The racks were fabricated with ease of use in mind with every inch of space being utilized for our chase crew.















The rear rack holds two 37" spares for the chase truck, two 32" spares for our off road car, 4 gas cans for both gas and diesel, a tool box for tools and spare parts, a nitrogen bottle, 2 generators, a welder and jacks. The roof rack has enough space for additional gear bags and parts as well.

El Lobo Buggy





We've been busy working on projects, unfortunately to busy to update the site. Here's some pics of a big project we've been working on and racing over the past year. The project has been a transformation of an El Lobo buggy to a Baja proven off road car. The car is a blast to drive and handles extremely well for it's size. Here's a few pics to show the time and creativity put into this car.














These pics show the stock car when the project started. Who would have known what it would turn into. The placement of the 2.2L GM Ecotech, and original cage layout. Original Volkswagon pan still in the car.













Aluminum body pan that protects the entire underside of the buggy and the engine skid.








Firewall with mesh and dash getting prep'd for necessary switches and GPS.


Exhaust is bent and rear engine cage started. Aluminum work all done in house for the side panels, rear engine cage enclosures, light box, firewall, and door/shoulder bar finish panels. Roof rack also fabricated with E-trac tie down system.

Jeep Roof Skin


The skin is powdercoated black with gray vinyl underneath, and attaches to the cage.


The aluminum roof skin is perfectly flat, keeps the sun off, comes off quickly, and still fits under the hard top. Here's the Jeep on a Glamis trip.






1970 Jeepster Commando Air Intake




The finished air intake out of harms way and away from the heat of the engine and radiator.



This was the challenge, creating an air intake for an LS1 in a Jeep. Space was limited with only 4 inches from the front of the intake to the radiator.
