Hauk Designs’ Rock Rat Gives the Jeep 1947 CJ2A the Mad Max Treatment It Deserves

Kenny Hauk and Hauk Designs blew away fans at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas last year with the Rock Rat, a decked out, chopped and screwed, tuned-up Jeep built from a 1947 Willy’s CJ2A body.

Taking on a dystopian vibe, the Rock Rat looks like it was one of the chasing cars in the recent flick “Mad Max: Fury Road” that even drives like it is meant to tear through a desert wasteland.

Powering the Rock Rat is a V12 diesel engine sourced from an older school bus that Hauk and the team at Industrial Injections and Turbonetics completely worked over to produce 700 horsepower and a jolting 1,200 pound-feet of torque.

Plowing through any surface are a set of 44-inch Pit Bull Tires set on B.A.D. Beadlock wheels. Rock Rat also boasts safety glass from a house that has been reused for the windscreen, bespoke HID Projector headlights featuring an etched-in skull logo, a 1960s era fire truck pump handle repurposed as a shifter, and a Kicker Audio system.
