5.7 Liter Hemi Engine with K&N Air and Oil Filters Powers Through Ultimate Adventure
- 18 Feb 2009
Dirt and gravel can turn off road travel into a really rough ride in just a split second. The crews that took the Ultimate Adventure Four Wheeling Road Trip from the Black Hills of South Dakota to Rangely, Colorado saw and felt the geography change every day.

For seven full days off-road rigs drove and four wheeled to the next adventure in the next state. “One day we’d four-wheel across a back road,” said Ryan Hagel, co-driver of the K&N sponsored vehicle. “The next day we’d drive on a main road on the way to our next destination.”
600 miles of travel was a typical day on the Ultimate Adventure Four Wheeling Road Trip

The caravan of vehicles was similar to the Hot Rod Power Tour and attracted a lot of attention at each stop. “Imagine dozens of decked out rigs and you get the picture. There was a lot of comradery on the invitation only annual event,” said Hagel. “Everyone worked together as a team. We kept break-downs to a minimum. We helped each other and no one got hurt. It was a success.”
Keith Bailey represented K&N and drove through the terrain with his 5.7 liter Hemi-powered engine with a Bruiser chassis. The vehicle was equipped with K&N air and oil filters. “K&N took us through the dirt and kept our engine safe,” said Hagel. “We got the extra filtration and power we needed under extreme off-road conditions.”
