Scrapyard Blaster

Built for swamp racing and deep mud bogs, the Scrapyard Blaster thrives on terrain that chews up conventional vehicles. Its massive tires claw through mud pits while the elevated suspension keeps vital components clear of debris. Nighttime races benefit from the tailgate-mounted floodlights, making it a relentless competitor in low-visibility, harsh environments.

200mm per side plated steel overfenders with downward flares
Reinforced steel rear tailgate with integrated LED floodlights
Raised hood by 70mm with mesh air intake
Winch-integrated steel front bumper with deep radiator vents

Mesh hood intake for enhanced engine cooling
Deep vents integrated into front bumper for airflow management

While traditional aerodynamic aids are sacrificed for ground clearance and practicality, the build employs functional airflow management through deep mesh hood intakes and front bumper vents. These features improve cooling efficiency, critical during slow, torque-heavy bog racing where heat buildup can be detrimental.

20x14 inch Method Race Wheels
40/15.50R20 Maxxis Trepador mud bog tires

The build rides on 20x14 inch Method Race wheels, chosen for their proven strength and beadlock capability. Wrapped in 40-inch Maxxis Trepador mud boggers, these tires feature aggressive tread patterns designed for maximum grip and self-cleaning in swamp conditions, allowing the vehicle to maintain momentum through thick mud.

An extreme 400mm ride height lift creates a commanding presence and functional clearance over obstacles. The wide 200mm per side overfenders broaden the track, improving stability and reducing the risk of chassis contact with mud, while the suspension upgrades provide the necessary damping for aggressive off-road maneuvering.

Modified 2.5L naturally aspirated engine
Snorkel air intake for water fording
Upgraded aftermarket cooling system

The heart of the Scrapyard Blaster is a modified 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, optimized for reliability and torque in low-speed, high-resistance mud conditions. A snorkel intake ensures clean air supply when traversing deep water, while an upgraded cooling system maintains optimal engine temperatures despite intense off-road stress.

The drivetrain retains the Rogue’s all-wheel-drive layout, enhanced with reinforced components to handle the increased torque demands and the extreme articulation from the lifted suspension. This setup provides confident power delivery and traction in swampy, uneven terrain.
