The diesel shop called the UTV shop.

In Season 2 of Diesel Brothers, Heavy D's crew built two side-by-sides on camera. When they wanted more out of them, they called Packard.

Fail of the Year.

It started as a joke. A fan said the shop would bolt military axles to anything, so they set a beat-up UTV body on a pair of them and posted the picture. The internet named it Fail of the Year.

Polaris supplied a 2016 RZR Turbo to finish it for real: a custom subframe, axles built for armored trucks and 54-inch tires at all four corners. Turning tires that size takes power, so DieselSellerz brought in Packard for a bigger turbo, an exhaust and a tune built for this one machine.

Marshawn Lynch's General.

Marshawn Lynch saw the Fail of the Year on Instagram and asked the same crew for a UTV of his own. He wanted it big, loud and impossible to miss.

They built it on a Polaris General 1000: a 7-inch lift, 35-inch tires on 20-inch wheels and a sound system where the dump bed used to be. The engine stayed stock, with one exception. The exhaust was a Packard.

Same shop. More boost.

The RZR Turbo grew up into the Pro R, and the Pro R runs a Packard supercharger: 225 horsepower stock, 380 on pump gas, 500 on E50.
