The Rockhouse Traverse transforms the 1951 Hudson Hornet into an uncompromising rock crawling machine, engineered for King of the Hammers-style terrain. Its widebody design pushes the Hornet’s classic silhouette to new extremes with 170mm front and 190mm rear fender extensions armored in layered composite plates. Functional cooling louvers and a shortened hood with exposed tubular steel vents ensure the beefy powertrain remains cool under brutal conditions. The suspension is fully reworked, delivering 450mm of travel via external bypass shocks and coil springs, allowing the car to articulate over massive boulders with ease while the 39x16.5R17 beadlocked Maxxis tires provide unmatched traction and durability.
