Driver: Corey Osborne
Co-Driver: Terry Hawkins
Stomping Grounds: Montrose, CO
Corey Osborne and co-driver Terry Hawkins are two guys who really get it. With years of wheeling experience between them and a long build history with the ’02 Jeep Wrangler TJ, both men were well prepared for the week of hardcore adventure. While the Colorado guys’ wheeling backgrounds consisted heavily of low-speed and high-traction rockcrawling, they quickly adapted to the loose rock and thick mud of the Midwest. And while we did enjoy teasing Corey about being the “other TJ” on UA, his modified Wrangler did a fine job of standing out on its own.
