2026 Hooke Road Off-Road Build Photo Contest Recap (1)

Our Hooke Road Photo Contest officially wrapped on August 30, and we were blown away by the builds you shared with us. From off-road beasts to daily drivers with serious style, our community proved once again that your taste is unmatched.

A huge shoutout to everyone who participated. And a big congratulations to our randomly selected winners, who took home bumpers and coupons!

Here are just a few of the incredible Jeep & Bronco builds we received:

1. The "GREMLIN" Jeep Wrangler JL

This rig perfectly balances head-turning style with practical trail utility. To handle rocky terrain and make cab access effortless, it’s outfitted with our Hooke Road Side Steps. Up top and along the sides, this JL is equipped for serious overlanding with a Side Molle Panel w/ RotopaX Mount, keeping essential recovery fuel and gear securely mounted and easily accessible. Paired with custom RGB LED headlights and an impressive roof light bar array, this build proves that high-function off-road armor can look effortlessly cool.

2. The "JustGoXplore" Overland Jeep Wrangler

Up front, the rig features our rugged Different Trail Front Bumper w/ Winch Plate paired with a robust Front Skid Plate, safeguarding the underbody from loose rocks and trail debris during technical climbs. Up top, the Roof Rack Aluminum Cross Bars provide a rock-solid foundation to support a full hardshell rooftop tent, while the Rear Window Molle Panel Kit keeps auxiliary fuel tanks and essential tools neatly organized on the outside of the vehicle.

3. The Red Ford Bronco Overland Camper

Up front, a heavy-duty steel front bumper provides robust trail defense and recovery points to tackle demanding terrain. The crown jewel of this build is the heavy-payload roof rack platform, which seamlessly supports a pop-up hardshell rooftop tent and side awning. Complete with massive off-road tires and high-clearance side steps, this Bronco proves you don't have to sacrifice off-road performance to enjoy maximum overland comfort..

Whether you won or not, we're grateful to every single person who shared their build with us. This community is what makes Hooke Road special and we can't wait to do this again.

Keep building, and stay tuned for what's next.
