![Projects in the Shop Update at Wide Open Design
Currently, weve got quite a few cool projects going on in the shop. We are fortunate to be able to work on a whole spectrum of builds from Jeeps to Buggies. Check out this video to get a glimpse into what weve got going on.
The Moab to Mexico Jeep LJ [01:17]: This custom LJ is built on our LJ chassis with an Aqualu aluminum tub and features a raised-and-rolled flare design for maximum up-travel [03:10]. Outfitted with Crane 14-bolt axles, Radflo 3-inch bypasses, and a custom-actuated light bar [02:46], this rig is designed to pre-run for desert race teams or dominate Moabs technical rock sections.
The 50-Inch Mega Rock Bouncer [07:55]: This Rock Bouncer X chassis features massive 50 tires on 2.5-ton Rockwell axles [09:05]. Despite the giant tires, we’ve maintained a low center of gravity with only a 24-inch belly height [09:47], ensuring it can crawl through big rock boulder fields with ease.
The CJ-7 Update [13:56]: We are currently giving a long-term customers CJ-7 a modern foundation without losing its original lines [15:04]. By mounting his existing RamJet 350 and Dana 60/70 axles onto one of our modern chassis, we are reusing the components he already knows and loves.

![Interview with Richard McIntosh, Owner of the Urban Rebel Rock Bouncer | Wide Open Design
After a full day of wheeling at Adventure Off Road Park, Adam sat down with Richard McIntosh to talk about the Urban Rebel Rock Bouncer, the build process behind it, and what it was like seeing the buggy fully completed for the first time. Richard came into the off-road world from a background filled with Ferraris and Porsches. So when he decided to build an off-road buggy, he wasn’t looking for something average.
The Urban Rebel was built around:
* 700+ horsepower Mast Motorsports V8
* Turbo 400 transmission
* Crane 14-Bolt axles
* Crane Axle Magnum Knuckles
* race-proven drivetrain components
* custom metalwork and fabrication details
In this interview we discuss:
* the build process
* selecting components
* collaboration with the WOD team
* first impressions on the trail
* suspension performance
* future plans for the buggy
* and what makes a true high-end custom off-road build
This one turned out absolutely incredible and it was awesome hearing Richard’s thoughts after finally getting seat time in the buggy. Read more build specs and build photos: https://wideopendesign.com/blogs/custom-builds/the-urban-rebel-a-masterclass-in-collaboration

When Richard McIntosh, a seasoned racer of high-performance machines like Ferraris and Porsches, decided to enter the world of rock bouncing, he didnt just want a buggy—he wanted the Rolls Royce of off-road [02:14]. In this interview, Richard discusses why he chose Wide Open Design to bring the Urban Rebel to life, highlighting our teams ability to balance his high-performance vision with master-level engineering [01:08]. From the massive 700+ horsepower Mast Motorsports V8 [01:38] to the bomb-proof 14-bolt axles and Turbo 400 transmission [04:02], every component was hand-selected through a collaborative process between Richard and our lead designers [04:29]. The result is a stunning, high-performance machine that blends aesthetic beauty with raw, uncompromising power—proving that at WOD, we dont just build vehicles; we build legacies for our clients.

![Heavy-Duty Carrier Bearing Shaft Install & Walkthrough | Wide Open Design
Carrier bearings can completely solve difficult drivetrain packaging problems — but only if they’re installed correctly. In this video, Adam walks through the full installation process for the Wide Open Design Heavy Duty Carrier Bearing Shaft Kit and explains:
• 1350 / 1410 / 1480 setups
• string line alignment
• trimming chassis mounts
• tack welding
• dial indicator setup
• shaft runout
• bearing protection during welding
• and final chassis installation
One of the biggest keys to a smooth-running drivetrain is getting the shaft dialed in to less than .007” runout — and Adam shows exactly how to do it step-by-step.
#WideOpenDesign #CarrierBearing #Driveshaft #RockCrawler #Ultra4 #TubeChassis #OffRoadFabrication #RockBouncer #DrivetrainTech #WIDEOPENLIFE
A carrier bearing is often the only way to route power around unmovable chassis components, but if it isn’t perfectly aligned, you’re looking at vibration and premature failure. In this guide, we walk you through the professional installation of the Wide Open Design Heavy Duty Carrier Bearing Kit. We cover everything from setting your initial yoke distances and trimming the chassis mounts [02:13] to using a string line for proper orientation [03:51]. The secret to a vibration-free build is in the dialing: we demonstrate how to use a dial indicator to achieve less than .007 of runout [07:19]. Finally, we explain the critical step of pressing out the bearings before final welding to protect the internal races from heat damage [08:16], ensuring your drivetrain is as smooth as it is strong.
