King of the Hammers has been called the toughest race in the world, and deservedly so. The race buggies that compete there have to crawl up cliffs, bang over boulders and fly over the flats. But those are the race cars...what about the cars and trucks that prowl the pits? Sure, at someplace like the Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion you might find a nice Fiat Jolly with the fringe still on top to cruise the paddock, or a genuine Vespa scooter. Those are nice, but if you tried to navigate Hammertown -- the city that springs up on the dry lake bed around King of the Hammers every year -- in one of those, it might get eaten.

So here we celebrate the magnificent mutants of the Mojave mud, the jacked-up 4x4 dirt stompers made to not only survive the coming zombie apocalypse but to conquer it and look good doing so. In a paddock where the fashion style is camo Carhartt with a Monster Energy Drink beanie and matching goatee for the gentlemen and yoga pants with motocross boots for the ladies, a high-clearance stretch Lincoln limo is really the only way to go.

We salute you, welders of the wilderness. And we would like to borrow one of these sometime for a test drive. Either now or maybe after civilization crumbles.
