 | Budget Beat-out rides |
 | We know you hate it when you see super-flash rigs in magazines that cost more to build than a small apartment building. Sure, we’ve run them in the past and we will run them again in the future. But we never pretend that building such a vehicle is |

 | Are you sick of it yet? They’ve got the Oscars, the Grammys, the Emmys, the Ace Awards, the Country Music Awards, and now even the Teen’s Choice Awards. Ugh! What’s next? The Guy Who Can Pee Without Hitting the Toilet Seat award? If you’re |
 | By now you have undoubtedly looked through these pages to see if your favorite truck or trail rig is here. If it is, you probably feel a sense of glory knowing that there are others out there who know your rig is the very best 4x4 ever. If it’s not here, |
 | When Mitch Guthrie acquired his ’70 FJ-40 it was a far cry from its current stance. It was completely stock except for a slapped together V-8 swap consisting of a clapped-out Chevy 327. But Mitch had plans, big plans. He and a friend were constantly battl |
 | Courage, man! Look directly into the light, not away from it. When you do, you’ll see that Chris Geiger’s ’83 Toyota pickup has turned into a ray of possibility. Like most 4x4 owners, Chris wanted it all. He wanted a daily driver. He wanted a pr |
 | Purchased six years ago as a lowered two-wheel-drive sport truck, John James’ ’85 Toyota Xtracab now plays on boulders rather than living in fear of speed bumps. John quickly tired of riding around an inch off the street, and developed an interest in |
 | Indulge yourself in the memory of a really cool erector set and an idea. It’s almost as if life couldn’t get any better than tinkering with stuff. These ideas, like sparks, always lead to something bigger. One thing just leads to another and pretty s |
 | When your hometown is Moab, Utah, arguably the largest off-road Mecca in the world, you are bound to drive a 4x4 with a few unique features. It never fails. Every time we wheel there we see trucks with new ideas from all over the country. We see what works, wh |
 | The question Mark Hanson of Claremore, Oklahoma, is asked most is, “What is that?” Whether they’re referring to the front headlights, the laser-cut bats on the winch mount, or just the whole vehicle, not many people seem to understand what they& |
 | It’s always nice to see people really beat their rigs. They were given four-wheel drive for a reason, right? Right. Well, half right. In today’s age of 4x4 grocery getters, they just don’t seem to have all the grunt and stoutness that vintage fo |
 | Keeping your truck in top shape is not that hard, but it takes a little time. We decided that if we were going to keep cruising the back alleys and terrorizing the high-profile streets of Los Angeles in our free farm truck we needed to do some basic maintenanc |
 | Phil Bargman's '76 Toyota Land Cruiser is a mix of fine Japanese styling and strong American components. We would almost go so far as to describe it as having some Yankee ingenuity, but them's fightin' words to a proper southern boy from Piedmont, Oklahoma. Th |

 | Spinney Exoskeletoy |
 | This one was so easy it was almost like cheating. We went the simple route and focused on products that were completely bolt-on and that improved our rig's functionality, comfort, and safety for open-air wheeling. |
