Season 110 of 10 Episodes

Ian begins assembly of a custom LJ chassis and builds a full Jeep out of a pile of metal tubs before he adds front and rear axles with cut-to-length control arms, and finishes off the build with coil-over suspension.
The custom Jeep JL gets a drivetrain after Ian finds a junkyard LS engine to install, later he fabricates the exhaust.
The chassis on the Jeep JL is powder coated before Ian bolts everything in place and fabricates the body panels.
Larger tires on an off-road rig usually mean broken axles; a 1989 Dodge Ram Charger is in the shop; Ian shows how to swap out a semi-float axle for the more desirable full-float axle.
The crew works on wiring, plumbing, body panel installation and the interior on the buggy; Ian hits the trails in a custom Jeep LJ.
Ian doesn't want to fix a beat-up Polaris XP 900. He wants to turn it into a completely different rig. He decides to stretch the side by side and add longer suspension for more travel, but that's just the beginning.
The crew focuses on what the Polaris will need to stay safe on the trails; Ian customizes a roll cage, installs the driver's seat and adds some tunes.
An '80s Ramcharger is back in the shop for an engine swap; the owner wants a gas-powered Hemi, so Ian swaps the old, tired engine for one from a local junkyard.
Ian moves weight around on a Samurai to get more squat in the rear end, shifting the radiator and fuel cell and changing the rear end suspension geometry to help this rig better handle the rocks.
Ian goes on an adventure with some of his buddies, hitting a few off-road parks nearby, making some roadside repairs, and ending the trip with some Tennessee whiskey.
