The World's 1st Luxury Ultra4 Wins at Battle of The Builders
Behind The Battle - Join us for an inside look at RJ Fab’s incredible journey to Las Vegas for the 2024 SEMA Battle of the Builders. This documentary captures the highs, lows, and everything in between as we poured Blood, Sweat and tears over 4 Years and 12,000 man hours building this incredible Luxury Ultra4- This 1949 Willys capable of taking on Dakar, The Baja 1000, or the the world famous King of the Hammers.
With just four team members-Nick, Marty, Aiden, and Rob-our small-town shop defied the odds and brought home the win in our category, 4x4 and Offroad.
This is more than a story about a groundbreaking build. It’s about passion, perseverance, and the road that led us to the world’s biggest stage for custom vehicles.
