Living the Life and Printing the Passion

The cover truck on this issue, built by Phat Phabz, is big, bold and all business. It’s the kind of ride that makes you stop mid-scroll and think, “Damn, they really did that!”

Inside, we’ve got a full spread of builds from every corner of the scene. We kick things off with MerLow, a clean Toyota pickup that proves old-school can still turn heads. Then we dip into Braggin’ Rights, where Chance’s green squarebody takes center stage with killer paint and attention to detail you’ve got to respect. Speaking of detail, William Salazar’s Ontario, Canada-built mini-truck called Greenga is still sittin’ pretty today with timeless style.

We also finished up our Belltech OBS coilover conversion by knocking out the front suspension. Got a soft spot for old-school rides? Battle in Bama is our feature event coverage in this issue with over 200 photos. Want to go deep into the past? Flip to our History of the Turkey Run and learn how one Florida father and son built one of the biggest car shows in the country.

And if you’re thinking about adding some bump to your build, check out our 2025 Audio Buyer’s Guide. We packed it with 30 of the latest head units, amps, and subs to get your cab sounding right, whether you’re running an old C10 or a brand-new full-size.

We’re also gearing up for SEMA 2025 in Las Vegas. Let us know if you’ll be out there. We’ll be walking the show, scouting new builds, and talking with the brands that keep this scene moving.

Now tell us, what are you wrenching on right now? Got a show you’re headed to? Hit us up on Instagram or drop us a message at Motortopia. We want to see what you’re building.
