Tucked between the frame rails is a STaK 3-Speed Monster Box transfer case offering 5.44:1, 3.05:1, and 1:1 low-gear ratios. The STaK case is a great match for the 40-inch tires and 42RLE auto trans creating multiple gear offerings to tackle any situation.

Mel Wade's 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited was built with extreme trail crawling in mind, but can still conquer every bit of pavement between the trail and home with ease. Built by Off Road Evolution in Fullerton, California, the "EVO" JK is lifted, fortified, and super-charged to meet every challenge in its path.

The core of the EVO JK's abilities exists thanks to the unique EVO Lever rear cantilever suspension design. Adding further assistance are front and rear Dynatrac Pro Rock 60 axles and 40-inch Toyo Open Country M/Ts. The EVO Tire Carrier and Wild Boar fast back hard top give the rear a unique appearance.

The 40x15.50R20 Toyo Open Country M/Ts are wrapped around 20x10 Ultra Goliath wheels equipped with Allied beadlocks and Staun internal beadlocks. A full battery of EVO Armor is displayed along the sides of the JK, including the front and rear steel plate fenders, which create extra-wide wheel openings for the hefty Toyo M/Ts. EVO billet door handles and hinges are also in view.

The Off Road Evolution EVO front coil-over system is shown with Radflo 2.0-inch-diameter, 14-inch travel, remote-reservoir coil-over shocks and Fox bump stops. The EVO coil-over mounts are manufactured from 3/16-inch steel. The Full-Traction suspension arms are also in view as is the air chuck for the Kilby onboard air system.

A Full-Traction long-arm suspension kit is paired with Off Road Evolution's front and rear coil over system to offer approximately 7 inches of lift and a full 14 inches of wheel travel at all four corners. The EVO JK uses Radflo 2.0 remote-reservoir coil-over shocks and Fox bump stops.

A Dynatrac Pro Rock 60 axle also resides at the rear and uses 5.38 gears and an ARB. Beneath the rear skid plate is the EVO Lever cantilever suspension system. The system uses dual Radflo 2.0-inch diameter, 8-inch travel, remote-reservoir coil-over shocks. The use of the cantilever design permits a full 14 inches of wheel travel.

The Dynatrac Pro Rock 60 front axle uses 5.38 Superior gears, an ARB Air Locker, and Superior chromoly axle shafts joined with OX U-joints. A PSC steering box is in place on the frame rail and controls the hefty 40-inch tires using a custom heavy-duty tie rod and drag link assisted by a PSC hydraulic cylinder.

Tucked between the frame rails is a STaK 3-Speed Monster Box transfer case offering 5.44:1, 3.05:1, and 1:1 low-gear ratios. The STaK case is a great match for the 40-inch tires and 42RLE auto trans creating multiple gear offerings to tackle any situation.

The interior of Mel's JK has been addressed with a great selection of safety and comfort equipment, including a front and rear cage kit from Rockhard 4x4 and the Mastercraft Baja RS seats. Check out the STaK 3-Speed Monster Box shifters that come through the console next to the factory T-case shifter. The shifters hug the console nicely and don't get in the way of normal driving. Misch arm rests are also in place on each door.

The 3.8L V-6 is equipped with an Adventure Innovations supercharger and an AEM fuel and ignition controller. A Kilby onboard air system operates the ARB Air Lockers and also fills a 2-gallon air tank mounted along the drivers-side frame rail. An Optima battery handles the additional lights and onboard electronics. The PSC power steering reservoir is also shown next to the Optima battery.

The Adventure Innovations centrifugal supercharger kit boosts engine performance and is especially helpful in pushing the 40-inch Toyos around during long pavement runs. A Dynomax exhaust system is also installed.

Delta headlamps and Vision-X auxiliary lights provide a well-lighted path for night runs. EVO Armor steel plate front fenders offer a narrowed approach over the factory fenders. The rear steel plate fenders on the EVO JK don't have flares but the EVO fenders are available with a 6-inch flare.

Another view of the interior shows the Rock Hard 4x4 roll cage, the billet AC vent bezels, the MyGig stereo and navigation system, and a Lowrance GPS. A CB radio is also in place mounted to the passenger-side of the console.

The PSC ram-assist cylinder is protected by a heavy-duty skid plate. The custom heavy-duty tie rod and drag link use Heim joints and the Dynatrac knuckles provide an effective high-steer arrangement.

A Pure Jeep stubby front bumper houses a Warn 9.5ti winch equipped with 100-feet of 3/8-inch Viking synthetic winch line from Winchline.com. The Viking Safety Thimble rests on an EVO billet Iron Cross fairlead. The EVO JK handles rock washes with great ease.

Mel added extra frame braces to the Full-Traction long-arm system to provide some extra insurance against breakage. Front and rear J.E. Reel 1350 driveshafts offer further assistance.

Mel installed Mastercraft Baja RS seats in the front and rear of the JK. It suits his family of four well as the kids have a more stable and comfortable seat than the factory rear bench.

The EVO swing-away tire carrier holds a 40x15.50R20 Toyo Open Country M/T spare and can swing either direction on greaseable flex joints.
