CARLISLE, PA - Carlisle has seen its share of transformations since its inaugural event in 1974.  In recent years, the onsite vehicle makeovers have come in many forms from contests to demonstrations.  Last year during the Carlisle Ford Nationals, Kurgan Motorsports swapped out the engine of a Fox Body Mustang and event seminars regularly highlight simple ways to upgrade, maintain or upkeep your prized ride.

This year at the Carlisle Truck Nationals, August 3-5 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, the Light Truck Accessory Alliance (LTAA) returns.  This organization of aftermarket parts manufacturers, retailers and suppliers is bringing out their best to put a late model Jeep through the ultimate transformation.  Enthusiasts on grounds will be able to watch as LTAA member companies  take a stock Jeep Rubicon and make it the ultimate show-ready Jeep in the world, all over the course of the three-day event.
