Consider the Rocks Shocked!

In 2009 Matchbox introduced a rock crawlers dream to their line-up. The Rock Shocker now has a fresh coat of paint and is ready to hit the trail hard again in 2010.
This truck has been striped to it's bones to make it the ultimate rock crawler, the bed, and all glass have been removed, even the front fenders and grill. Instead of a bed, the Rock Shocker features a cage designed not only to mount the shocks, but also to accommodate a fuel cell and a transmission cooling system sporting two electronic fans for some non-stop pedal pounding.
Custom bumpers protect the front and rear, with a roll bar protecting the squish bits inside. Everything  rides on a long arm suspension allowing excellent suspension travel with a stable low stance.
The action doesn't stop when the sun goes down, as this rig is sporting 5 HID lights above the cab as well as two more replacing the stock headlights. The Rock Shocker certainly is all thrills and no frills. In fact we are still speculating exactly what kind of truck she was before all the modifications... On a closing note, this rig does not really seem designed to stray to far from the trailer, as it is not toting a spare tire, so perhaps more of a competition rig than a trail rig. Maybe a little customization is in order.
