"Sergeant Square is more than just a truck; it's a symbol of dedication, innovation, and charitable spirit… "The customization journey began with Salvage to Savage, which assembled and welded a custom bed floor, followed by a unique bumper mount fabrication to integrate stock Squarebody bumpers onto the custom chassis… At the core of Sergeant Square lies the 6.2-liter Chevy Connect and Cruise engine and transmission package from Scoggin Dickey Motorsports, propelling the truck's…

Give your truck's bed a layer of protection with a WeatherTech ImpactLiner. Made from an injectionmolded, rubber-like thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compound, the ImpactLiner stands up to dings, dents, and scratches, while textured surface ribbing helps keep your cargo from shifting. The ImpactLiner is a durable alternative to spray-in and other bed liners that cost time and money to have installed.

From Nursing Books to Garage Tools: A Mechanic's Triumph in No-Nonsense Retrofit DURING my time at The Vault, a classic car dealership situated in Jackson, Mississippi, I embarked on my journey with a 1969 Subaru 360. This peculiar car stands out among the array of rare and expensive classics and exotics that graced the shop. As I juggled being a full-time nursing student, my boss, JD Pass, accommodated my schedule, allowing me to work around classes and clinical commitments. This unique flexibility enabled me to nurture my passion for classic cars and mechanics while pursuing my education. My association with The Vault extended throughout my time in nursing school and continues sporadically to this day, with occasional visits to lend a hand in the shop. Amidst a treasure trove of…

These are exciting times we are living in! A new era of go-fast technology is being blended with classic metal in a way that was unimaginable to most a decade ago. In some ways, it's the same type of hot rodding we've seen over generations. Only now, power comes from high voltage batteries coupled to (in many cases) incredibly potent electric motors. The case of APP EV's Porsche is no different. What is different is the company's approach to the conversion process. Unlike systems that include the necessary components to properly convert a vehicle but leave integration of the system to the specialist (of which there are some good ones), APP EV's system is completely Plug & Play. And we mean completely. There is no cutting, no drilling, and no…

“My cautious plan to park at the top of the icy hill that led to my new home and walk was dashed when the rig started sliding towards a head-on meeting with an old cedar tree at the bottom… I've never considered myself an “overlander.” I'm more of an avid fly angler who has found, over the years, that good fishing spots seldom have comfortable hotel accommodations nearby—or at least one that a fly shop owner can afford. I'm also old enough to cherish a cozy place to sleep when I travel, far away from rattlesnakes and other critters, preferably with a soft bed. My first “build” was out of necessity, as the pressures of running a business and being a caregiver were taking their toll. My 5th gen 4Runner…
