Check out our gallery of must-see 2016 King of the Hammers Parking Lot Finds.

Rockstar Lifted Hyundai Tucson: This crossover made the cross over to the off-road side. After debuting at last year's SEMA, it’s proving that it's not just for show.

2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road: Driving Line’s mode of transportation for KOH. Relax inside the roomy cabin and let the powerful TRD powered truck take you places.

‘80s Toyota Pickup: Hammertown, its where ordinary vehicles turn into unique off-road warriors.

‘80s Toyota Pickup: I spy a “Hoonigan” sticker on the rear windshield, so you know this guys knows how to have fun. Doors are optional at King of the Hammers.

‘90s Toyota Pickup: Don’t say Rocket Bunny. Over fenders have been common in the off-road world for years.

Toyota Pickup: This truck might be foreign to most import guys, but pop the hood (if there was one) and you’ll find a 7M-GTE Supra engine.

’80s Toyota Pickup and ‘90s Toyota 4Runner: About a decade apart, but built with the same purpose – to have fun in the dirt!

‘80s Toyotas – 4Runner and Pickup: You need to have that Toyota reliability to handle the conditions that a week at KOH throws at you.

NorthrupFab Trophy Rat: Keith Northrup’s cross between a rat rod and an Ultra4 rig can run in the dirt, keep up on the track and still be able to hang out with old timers at car shows.

Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler: It’s a Jeep. It does everything, it goes everywhere, so of course it has to be at King of the Hammers.

Willys Flatfender: I bet this old school has some great war stories, possibly the owner perched up top might too.

4Wheel to Heal Tank: This veteran organization brought out a war machine to KOH. Can’t get any more all-terrain than a tank.

Stewart & Stevenson M1079 Van: If you though the tank was impressive, this vintage military van just towers over everything.

If you've ever been to a car show, then you know to expect some of the cleanest cars, in the most pristine condition. Throw all of that out the window along with your California Duster, King of the Hammers is a completely different experience. Here, the more dust and body damage your vehicle has, the more respect you earn.

While everyone was focused on the race, we (a couple of import guys) decided to go on an adventure. Check out the gallery above to see what vehicles caught our eyes during KOH week.
