Wildside Jeep Customs

Wildside Jeep Customs is the creation of John Roth servicing the greater Chicago area as well as neighboring states. John Roth learned his trade from Tim "Torque" Burke, who was the creator of the very first Big Foot Truck. Under Torque's wing, John learned how to build monster trucks and suspension life trucks the right way. But John's gear building roots run deeper, starting with snowmobile engine and carburetor rebuilds at a very early age under his father's watchful eye. From those early days of rebuilding, John worked on his friends' ATVs, dirt bikes, scooters, golf carts, go-carts and watercraft. John is also an expert welder, learning by shortening and lengthening semi-truck frames. John is also certified to test and repair wiring in any vehicle on the road, through AC-Delco School. Jeeps are by far John's passion. He loves to build the crazy things that no one else has done. Wildside is an apt name for a man and company that like to push off-road to the limit.
