GarageScout Take
Hardline Customs’ SEMA 2022 Top 10 Off-Road build pairs the chopped, lengthened Willys body with Dana 44/80 axles, 37-inch Toyo tires, and MetalCloak/Fox suspension. The LQ9, 4L80E, and Novak-adapted NP231 give the show-car shell a purpose-built four-wheel-drive drivetrain.
Strengths
- Award-winning build with documented SEMA recognition
- Low mileage of 542 miles since build completion
- LQ9 6.0L LS engine with TBSS intake and electronic fuel injection via Holley Terminator system
- 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission with 2800-stall converter and Novak-adapted NP231 transfer case
- Custom suspension with MetalCloak coils and Fox shocks for improved handling
