Also in this issue, we’re headed back to Texas for Lone Star Throwdown 2025. This show keeps the bar high, with more than 2,000 trucks packed into the Lone Star Expo Center. Everything from slammed cruisers to lifted monsters showed up, proving once again why LST is the one to beat.
Thrice As Nice tells the story of a Tacoma that’s been through the hands of Teigh Graham more than once. This one’s got history, heart, and a clean finish that shows just how far it has come.
We also hit the road for Starbird’s Tulsa Throwdown—a wild weekend full of chopped tops, burnout smoke, and more custom steel than you could see in one lap. If you’ve never made the trip, it’s one to put on your list.
Then there’s 7 Summers, Crystal Johnson’s 1996 Tacoma that finally made it out of the planning stage and onto the showfield. Seven summers of dreaming and wrenching came together into one slick ride.
And don’t miss Twister, Roberto Carranza’s slammed 2020 Silverado that proves a daily driver can still turn heads. Built for the street but clean enough for any show, this one checks all the boxes.
