The Rough Riders were the ultimate off-road super team. Backed by both FORD and BFGoodrich, the desert and short course team dominated off-road racing for almost five years before they dissolved. Their impact is still felt today. Pretty much any off-road fan worth their salt has a Rough Riders poster hanging in their garage. As a way to celebrate the anniversary of the Rough Riders, Steve Olliges – himself a Rough Rider – wrapped his brand new Geiser Trophy Truck in the original Rough Riders paint scheme. Check out this magnificent Geiser Trophy Truck before it takes its maiden voyage at The Best in the Desert Vegas to Reno race. More information here.
