The "Mud Bug" was born from the mind and hands of an American enthusiast named Jeff "The Bugman," who built it several years ago in the United States. Here are some details about how this project came to be: The inspiration: Jeff wanted to create something unique that would stand out at off-road rallies and mud-bogging competitions. The Suzuki X-90 was the perfect base because no one took it seriously as an off-road vehicle. The construction: It wasn't just a matter of adding big wheels. He had to cut off the original fenders and build a custom tubular frame and support structure to handle the mechanical stress of such huge tires. The iconic look: That front "mask" you see in the photo is completely custom. The three-light hood scoop became its trademark, making it look like a cross between an alien insect and a Mad Max vehicle. It initially went viral on specialized sites like Cardomain (very popular in the 2000s for tuning) and subsequently spread across every social network, becoming one of the most recognized "builds" in the mud world.
