Monster Jeep
The "World's Largest Jeep" HOTSTUFF will be performing at the 20th Annual Kruisin' Kittitas on Saturday, August 17th!
Don’t miss your chance at a ride on HOTSTUFF for just $10. Rides available from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. along W 2nd St., from N Main St. to N Pierce St.
Built in 1986 by Jeff Bainter in his shop in Yakima, Washington, this monster jeep features a modified Jeep CJ-7 body that Jeff split down the middle and widened by 15 inches. It sits on a custom-built frame and suspension to accommodate 66-inch floatation tires.
From 1986 to 1989, Jeff and the Big Red Jeep, competing under the name "HOT STUFF", dominated the monster truck circuit, winning numerous national events against the top trucks in the country. In 1989, Jeff Bainter built a second monster jeep, "HIGH VOLTAGE" and handed over the driving duties to Debbie Rhoden, the first woman to compete full-time in open competition on the monster truck circuit. Both "HOTSTUFF" and "HIGH VOLTAGE" toured extensively across the United States and Canada, thrilling fans for many years. In 2017, Jeff and his original monster jeep, "HOTSTUFF," were inducted into the International Monster Truck Hall of Fame.
