Long before Team DP4x4 there was Club DP4x4, and out of this weekend rock crawling
club developed Team DP4x4. With a genuine love of rock crawling and a healthy competitive
spirit, Team DP4x4 always strives to be the best.
The Driver: Jason Willis
Jason Willis is born and raised in Orinda, California and resides in Pleasant Hill with his
family. He is a graduate of University of California at Berkeley with a degree in Sociology.
Jason comes from a large family of 3 brothers and 1 sister. Growing up with 3 very active
younger brothers Jason learned very young the meaning of competition! One of Jason’s
greatest accomplishments was his professional athlete status on the Buy.com golf tour. While
golfing Jason also focused on his goal of initiating his own construction company. After
retiring from the Golf tour, Jason put all his time and devotion into Willis Construction
which today is a very well known General Contracting Company. Through the years Jason still
maintained his interest in dirt bikes,
4-wheeling and camping. Jason and his brothers began weekend Rock Crawling trips as a family
recreation at an early age. It wasn't but soon after the modifying of their jeeps began.
Jason began building a competition Rock Crawler and finished it in time to run the 2007
W.E Rock series and CalRoc event. Jason decided after his first season to move up to the
Pro class and has finished at the top at most events entered. Jason’s enthusiasm is his
most valued quality.
The Spotter: Brant Willis
Brant Willis, born and raised in Orinda, California. He is the younger but bigger brother to driver Jason Willis.
Brant was also an original member of Club Dp4x4 and has been a huge asset to the team thus far. Brant brings
his 10 years of rock crawling experience to help the team bring home the winnings. Brant is a serious competitor and
works well with Jason. They have excellent communication, parallel ideas on which line to choose, and the most important
factor in a rock crawling team, trust. Brant's dedication to the team extends well beyond the duties of spotting. He is always involved the
fabrication and design for the vehicle and has spent numerous weekends working on the buggy. Brant first got his feet wet in rock
crawling when he and his brothers built a Jeep Wrangler that dominates all trails. Brant has been into motor sports since he was
little riding the families quads, dirt bikes, and Jet Skis at Donner Lake. When Brant is not working, or rockcrawling he still remains
outdoors. He has a love for Disc Golf and plays numerous tournaments around the bay area.
