Gearz Episodes: The Ridge Runner

The Ridge Runner

Season: 4 | Episode: 14

Everybody knows that the Jeep is an amazing vehicle, and people use them for everything from daily drivers to hard-core off-roaders. The question is, can you do both with the same vehicle? Today on GEARZ, Stacey shows you that it's possible, as he takes a very stock Jeep JK and slaps on a lift, wheels and tires, and other essential parts and begins to create a rig that is just as comfortable on the road as it is on the trail. With today's economy, it's all about getting the best bang for the buck and this show will show you how to do that. Then we dig into the unique world of Mickey Thompson, and see not only his influence in the creation of off-road racing, but also how he continues to influence the off-road and racing tire markets today.
