THIRTEEN FASCINATING 4X4S from the2020 Fall 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals

- Brian Shelton

One of the great things about a 4-Wheel Jamboree is that these events draw hundreds of 4x4s. This offers the opportunity to easily peruse a wide range of four-wheeldrive rigs sporting a wide range of modifications.

The three-day 39th Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals was held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Indiana. We attended the event and during our travels around the fairgrounds photographed some of the many cool 4x4s. The collection that follows should offer something for all 4x4 fans.

Tim’s ’72 Chevy K5 Blazer

Tim McCaffrey’s carefully crafted K5 Blazer stood out from the crowd, not only for its bright white paint, but because of the right mix of modifications sprinkled throughout his build. Coming from Oswego, Illinois, Tim named his Blazer “Red Rocker” as an ode to Sammy Hagar. The truck sits on a 6-inch suspension lift supported by a 10-bolt axle in the front and a 12-bolt axle in the rear, both with 3.73 gears. Power is provided by a 383 stroker, sent through a built TH350 three-speed automatic transmission mated to an NP205 transfer case, which gets the 35x12.50R18 tires turning with ease. This rig also features a customfabricated rollbar.
