Check out some of the highlights from the 2011 Lucas Oil Off-Road EXPO in Pomona California! 

We stopped by the Warn booth at the 2011 Moab Easter Jeep Safari to get the scoop on the huge winch we spotted earlier in the week. The Warn Olympus 25 is the baddest electric 4x4 recovery winch on the planet. It features an Axial Flux permanent magnet motor, also known as a pancake motor. It’s lighter, draws fewer amps, and makes more power than traditional winch motors. This particular winch is rated to pull 25,000 pounds! Eventually this technology will likely filter down to the smaller Warn consumer winches. 

Come with us as we join Mark Allen from Jeep and Jim Sassorossi from Mopar as they show us a little bit about each of the special Jeep vehicles that will be seen at the Moab Easter Jeep Safari 2011! 

Taking cues from the popular Jeep Scrambler CJ-8 from the 1980’s, Mopar has designed a kit for do-it-yourselfers that converts a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited into a pickup truck. 

Most of your finer sh!%boxes have spent a decade or more languishing immobile in a field somewhere where they invariably collect bullet holes from wayward rednecks. Embrace the bullet holes as a true sign of your vehicle's sh!%boxedness by showing any existing or adding new bullet holes for points. 

Who hasn't launched a sh!%box off of a railroad crossing, off-road culvert, or through a mini mall parking lot? Jump your junk and points will be awarded to whoever gets the most air between the tires and the ground. 

The top of the dunes is where the cool parties are held. No climby means no beer for you! Whoever can make it to the top of the razorback claims the points. 

Who says a sh!%box has to be slow? At the drop of the hat, drivers take your marks. Run 15 yards to simulate a restaurant "chew and screw," start your vehicle, and first one across the line wins. 

Sh!%boxes are seen as undesirable and even unsightly to upstanding citizens in everyday society. However, the allure of the sh!%box to your garden-variety degenerate is great. Thankfully, due to their unreliable nature and slipshod repair work, most sh!%boxes have an anti-theft device that only its owner knows how to overcome. "Disable" your vehicle using this feature and if the other two contestants can't start it and drive it away in 30-seconds, you win points.
