UTVUnderground and MadMedia let off-roader RJ Anderson go absolutely bonkers in a highly-modified 2017 Polaris RZR XP Turbo EPS UTV, taking on treacherous terrain and manmade ramps, culminating in a sideways ride around the WALL OF DEATH, and an epic backflip.

Toyota’s most rugged mid-size pickup yet, the new Tacoma TRD Pro rides on 2.5″ FOX Shocks, is wider, taller, has a 35º approach angle, and a 1/4″ skid plate to protect components. We dig the blacked out grille, hood scoop, and overfenders. Read our full review on 95octane.

One of the many tricked out vehicles slated headed to the 2016 SEMA show, this special off-road SUV has been blessed with a nitrous-boosted 3.3L V6, and a jacked-up suspension with massive wheel articulation and ground clearance, 35″ tires and 17″ beadlock wheels.

Currently available in Europe as the G500 4×4², this beastly off-roader is heading to the US in 2017. The $200K+ SUV has 17.2″ of ground clearance, 39″ fording depth, articulating axles,a 416 hp biturbo V8, and the sort of luxury interior we’d expect from Mercedes.

Pennzoil continues its series of awesome videos for gearheads, this time leaving the pavement behind and ripping up sand and crawling over rocks in extreme heat with a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Bonus 360º video here.

This over-the-top custom 4×4 has an incredibly articulate suspension, which allows it to crawl and drive over just about any terrain, including wildly irregular surfaces. Under the hood is a 5.0 V8 from a 1993 Ford Mustang.

Filson customized AEV’s supersized Jeep JK Wrangler. This double cab pickup truck has a 6L V8 engine, 17″ wheels, 35″ tires, rust- and dent-resistant steel bed and leather interior. It also comes with two rugged twill bags.

Pro-X driver Kata Karenina doesn’t seem the least bit worried that the inside of her 4×4 has filled up with muddy water, as she hits an impasse in the Russia Rainforest Challenge. She says: “I’m up to my ears in sh*t, but I’m happy.”

The 2014 Polaris RZR XP1000 UTV starts out impressive, but the guys at UTVUnderground and Mad Media worked with a team of experts to create a badass ride capable of amazing off-road feats with driver RJ Anderson at the helm.

West Coast Defender buys classic (at least 25 years old) Land Rover Defenders in the UK, imports them to the US and then fixes them up with modern amenities, like GPS, leather interiors, LED headlights and more. Videos here.

The trusty off-roader gets a new look with a manly new front end, a more upscale, but still pragmatic interior, LED tail lamps, an Entune multimedia system with upgraded 8-speaker audio, SiriusXM, USB and Bluetooth.

What happens when you let AMG have their way with a Mercedes-Benz G63 4×4? This. An 8300lb., 6-wheeled beast, with 37-inch wheels, and a 5.5L twin-turbo V8 with 536hp and 560 lb-ft of torque.

Not your father’s pickup, this half-ton Tundra truck has a comfortable cabin that seats six, an optional 381HP 5.7L V8, 4WD, sat nav, Bluetooth and the towing capacity of… a Space Shuttle.

Combining the looks of an old Jeep Wrangler with a Toyota FJ Cruiser and the DNA of the Ford Bronco, we’d love to see the water-safe Troller TR-X 4×4 (t)rolling off-road outside of its native Brazil.

Wall in your way? No problem. Watch as this stripped-down Unimog lugs itself effortlessly over a 4 foot concrete wall. And we thought we were tough for driving over those parking blocks.

While it looks like an old Willys Jeep, each ICON off-road vehicle is meticulously hand-built with new parts. The CJ3B outdoes Willy with much-improved handling and a GM Ecotec 210-hp engine.
