No commentsOur First On The Set Pick!
MyPowerBlock.com is the place for you to post pictures of your builds. We asked viewers who were interested in having their car, or truck on The PowerBlock with Courtney to post pictures in the “On The Set” group. Alan Cardozo and his custom Jeep vehicle is our first selection from that group! Alan bought two ’97 Jeep TJ’s and welded them together. It has four doors and the three rows of seating that Alan wanted to take family and friends out. He increased the wheelbase from 100” to 138”. It has 11” of lift and the new length is 16’ long. It sits tall on 40” Pro Comp tires. Alan is an Admissions Representative for Wyotech and takes his 4×4 on school visits and conventions. Find out what the number one question high school students ask Alan on The PowerBlock April 11th & 12th. Plus Joe Elmore joins Courtney for a preview of our 2nd annual Scholastic Engine Builder Challenge!
