3. Suspension From Hell

Built by off-road racing specialist Jimmy, the "Brocky" is a custom fiberglass shell, which sits on a tube-frame. The front suspensions are independent, and Brocky features 20-inch of wheel travel, as it sits on 37-inch tires, allowing it to go over almost anything you put in front of it.
