Meet the FORCE Custom Team

Passion. It’s the driving force behind Kevin Champ…our Team Leader…and the finest Jeep and truck conversion expert in the business. Kevin literally grew up on dirt bikes and adopted an off-road lifestyle early on…acquiring his first mini-bike at 10. It wasn’t long before he graduated to rebuilding his first Mustang and customizing his first vehicle…a 1986 Jeep CJ7 for his personal use. Fast-forward nearly 30 years and Kevin’s built a portfolio of over 1,000 custom Jeeps and trucks including show vehicles for the All Girl’s Garage, Fuel Wheels, and Wheel Pros. Kevin’s philosophy is simple. Exceed the owner’s expectations in everything you do. From making the buying process simple and fun… to delivering wow-factor designs and outstanding Guest service. With custom buyers from Hawaii to the Carolinas and everywhere in between, people rave about their vehicles and exceptional experience.
