Looking Awesome!

Not a bad way to wrap up the weekend. 🤘

Yesterday we got to hang out with a bunch of awesome people at the Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue Go Topless event, support a great cause, and check out some killer rigs.

Then this morning the Phase Off Road crew rolled right into Rigs & Roast for our Animal Shelter Donation Drive — and this community absolutely showed up. 🐾

The Jeep is PACKED with donations for local shelter animals, there were new faces, familiar faces, great conversations, and enough cinnamon rolls left over to feed a small off-road club. 😂

Huge thank you to everyone who came out, donated, grabbed coffee, checked out the builds, and helped make this weekend awesome. This community continues to prove it’s about way more than just Jeeps.

50 Shades Build progress included GenRight Off Road armor, Mickey Thompson Tires wrapped around some Method Race Wheels. Next event checkout as we should get the RPM suspension in and maybe start working on a few other things!!🤘🏻

Now somebody please come help eat these leftover cinnamon rolls…😆
