 Here in Arizona, our primetime rock crawling season is a little backwards from most of the U.S. since the best time of the year is the dead of winter. The winter months are perfect-75 degrees, sunny most days, and little chance for rain. Conversely, the summer months are tough on equipment-115 degrees ambient temperature, idling your rig all day at …

  When our Editor in Chief first told me about the BedRug he was installing in his Super Duty, I told him he was nuts – “that thing will be ruined in a week” I retorted. I was sure there was no carpet you could put in the bed of a truck that would survive the kind of abuse we …

Decent street manners, well we came close, it stops good and tracks straight. Safety, its got a full roll-cage that was professionally installed, racing harnesses, and great seats. Everything …
