Issue 64 leans straight into heavy-duty ambition and uncompromising off-road builds. Leading the charge from the cover, Ryan Dayon tackles a tight six-week deadline with a brand-new 2025 Ford F-350 and no plans to hold back. The heavy iron momentum continues as Top Notch Garage takes matters into their own hands, building the regular cab, short-bed Duramax Silverado that Chevrolet never produced. For vintage off-road purists, Legacy Speed & Body applies the Raptor mindset to a 1976 first-gen Bronco, creating the rugged early-generation machine factory lines left off the drawing board.
High-octane dirt performance takes center stage with Jacob Merrell’s 2023 Ram TRX, fusing supercharged power, overland utility, and unmistakable SEMA flare. On the tech front, the team dials in the American Gladiator project truck, transforming it from street-ready to fully adjustable trail machinery. Backed by roundups of fresh automotive accessories, hard-wearing equipment from Paladin33, and essential off-grid supplies in Gear Box, this release delivers the blueprint for serious dirt, towing, and backcountry endurance.
