The July/August 2026 issue of Tread is packed with the kind of builds, personalities, and adventure fueled content that make off road culture so addictive. Leading the issue is Industry Shaker, a profile on Blake Wilkey, one of the most recognizable names in the scene, setting the tone for an issue full of big energy and even bigger machines. Inside, you will find everything from Tiffany, a childhood dream turned full blown adult reality, to Brenan’s incredibly well sorted 4Runner that proves sometimes the right moves make all the difference.
The lineup gets even wilder with Bad Samurai, a far from stock build that refuses to play by the rules, Patina Chevy, an ever evolving project with serious character, and All Out Bomber, a purpose built machine designed to get the job done no matter the terrain. This issue also takes readers behind the scenes with Jason Weidhuner at Allied Fab, dives into the chaos and competition of King of the Hammers 2026, and rounds things out with practical upgrades like the latest American Gladiator overland rack install, fresh gear picks, and a Nevada desert trail adventure that will have you itching to plan your next trip.
If your idea of a good time includes dirt, horsepower, fabrication, and finding the long way home, this issue is built for you.
