Off-Road Builds for Trucks and SUVs in New Orleans

Trail rigs with max clearance and armor, built by Big Easy Custom Cars for the way you drive once the pavement ends.

Overview

Trail Rigs Built for Clearance and Armor

Off-road builds in New Orleans start close to home. Gravel lots, dirt camp roads and weekend trips to the trails all ask more of a truck than the factory setup was built for.

Big Easy Custom Cars builds trail rigs with max clearance and armor on Ford, Chevy, GMC, Jeep and RAM platforms, using brands we trust like FOX, BDS, Fuel Off-Road, Toyo Tires and Rough Country. Weekend crawler or first build, we plan it around where you actually drive.

The Build

What Goes Into an Off-Road Build

The parts that turn a truck into a trail rig. Pick one to see it.

Lift and Suspension

A suspension lift raises the frame itself, which is where real ground clearance comes from, so the truck clears ruts, rocks and water crossings.

Plan It Right

Before You Hit the Trail

One Package

Built as One Package

Lift, tires, gearing and armor all affect each other. We plan the lift, the wheels and tires, the gearing and the armor together, so the truck works as a whole.

Daily Driver

Still a Daily Driver

Many trail trucks still do the Monday commute. We set ride height and ride quality together, so the build drives well on the street too.

Lighting

Seen on Dark Roads

Light bars and trail lights need proper aim and clean wiring. Our lighting upgrades are sealed against moisture and aimed to cut glare.

How We Build Your Trail Rig

From the first conversation to the first trail run, here is how your build comes together.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I wanted more performance out of my truck, so I went in for engine tuning and upgrades. The throttle response feels sharper, and it pulls stronger than before. They explained what they were doing and didn't make it overly complicated.

Darren S. Truck · Engine Tuning

I decided to add a body kit and a few exterior modifications just to give my car a more aggressive look. The install was solid, and everything lines up perfectly. It looks factory, not thrown together.

Ashley M. Body Kit · Exterior Mods

I've worked with shops before, but this was my first time doing full custom paint work. The finish is smooth, deep, and consistent across every panel. You can tell they take pride in their craft.

Question 01 of 06

What makes a good first off-road build?

A good first build is usually a lift, all-terrain tires and an alignment. Armor, lighting and gearing can follow as your trips get tougher.
