Feature
Tacomole
Toyota Tacoma's have become one of the most popular mini-trucks to customize, and Andrew Adams' '97 extended cab is definitely an act to follow. The truck rolls low on air suspension and sports 18-inch front and 20-inch rear Colorado Custom billet wheels. Look for a few more details online that we ran out of room for in the printed feature article.

Feature
Custom Dodge Rams have popped up like crazy on the show scene lately, and Mathew Bradshaw's tribal-flamed and 'bagged 2000 version is one of the coolest we've seen. This Arkansas-based Mopar rides on Intro Pentia billets and is as smooth as a baby's backside, thanks to a laundry list of body alterations. Check out this rocking Ram in our Feb. '05 issue.

Feature
You just can't beat an ultra-clean classic Chevy, and the body styles from '55-'57 are among the most popular. Dan Doke, owner of ATS Design, owns this smooth, red beauty. When Dan is not overseeing operations at ATS, he is beach cruising his bright-red '55 Chevy pickup powered by a 400ci small-block Chevy. Check out this clean, custom Bow Tie next month.

Feature
Every year, the staff at Truckin' takes a collection of new SUVs freshly introduced to the public for a bit of track-testing for on- and off-road driving impressions. This year, we headed to L.A. County Raceway in Palmdale, California, and put these new offerings to the test on the drag strip following a little off-road action. Take a look at our SUV of the Year coverage and see how all the vehicles faired in the Feb. '05 issue.

Technical
Bring It Down
Since the new Ford F-150 was introduced, the custom truck public has been going crazy modifying them. We recently had the opportunity to witness an '04 F-150 getting dropped with McGaughy's goods and 22-inch rollers. Check out some of the extra tips and tricks of the install on the web.

Show
Party in Pennsylvania
The Carlisle All-Truck Nationals in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, draws quite a crowd of enthusiasts and bad-to-the-bone rides. Luckily, Truckin' was there to witness the entire pavement-punishing action. Take a peek online to see some of the event shots that ended up on the cutting room floor.
