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.

This fourdoor Ford foreshadowed late-model Broncos
Ddecades ahead of the '20 four-door Bronco, and even preceding the Ford Explorer and Excursion, came an SUV that could have passed for OEM and was built to answer the call for a three-row people-haulin' off-roader.
JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING
I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
