We told you we’d be following along with the new War Wagon project from Morgan Clarke Design, and it is time for Part 2 of the series. If you missed Part 1, we’ve got a link below so you can check it out, but in Part 2 some big changes are already in order. They are talking about abandoning the idea of doing this whole project in steel, and instead using some cool scanning technology and composites to really pull this thing off.

If you aren’t familiar with Morgan Clarke Design, you have been missing out. Morgan has put together a team of passionate craftspeople who want the most in both form and function in anything they build. And what they build are insane prerunners, Trophy Trucks, Dakar Prototypes, and more. They are incredible at what they do, and take great pride in making machines that truly stand out. I can’t convey how serious and passionate Morgan is about these projects. But you can tell when you watch this video introducing this new War Wagon Willy’s project.

We’re taking the Willys Wagon build to the next level—full trophy truck spec.
