En este asunto

Tread May-June 2025 - The latest issue of Tread is all about adventure, innovation, and purpose-built rigs ready for anything. On the cover, SoCal Sierra—The Taylor Gang’s off-road-ready GMC sets the tone with bold style and serious capability. Inside, we showcase unique builds like the sleek BINK GX550, the trail-ready Connor’s 2022 Tacoma, and the rugged BROCOMA, built to crawl rocks with confidence. Dive into SCAIA, a rig made for the wild, and meet Black Betty, Rich’s overland-equipped Jeep ready for any challenge.
Don’t miss the feature on our Tread Edition Tacoma finally finished (for now!) and gain valuable insights in Rookie Season, where lessons from the world of overlanding are laid bare. We also go behind the scenes of Big Idea Design to spotlight high-performance knives that do more than cut.
Event coverage includes KOH 2025, giving a glimpse into the unique culture behind King of the Hammers. In tech, we break down an ICON Suspension Install to help you level up your ride.
This issue is packed with gear, installs, and trail-tested knowledge for off-roaders who live life off the beaten path.

2024 TACOMA SUSPENSION UPGRADE

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma has a solid suspension from the factory but we all know there is still much to be desired from stock components, especially when building your ideal overland rig. To help with this, we decided to go with the ICON Dynamics Stage 4 suspension system.
