Ebay Jeepster
This was a great build for a great cause. Off Road Evolution was invited to participate in this exclusive build-off for Ebay Motors. It took our team of metal magicians 8 weeks to cut, bolt and morph this 1970 Jeepster Commando into a modern day 4×4.
In the end, it was sold to the highest bidder on Ebay, ranking in over $37,000 where a 100% of the proceeds went to a charity of Off Road Evolution’s choice, The California Trail Users Coalition which is dedicated to keeping California Trails open.
