Custom In Florida
"My name is Gabriel Morales," the letter stated. "I live in Miami, Florida, Dade County to be exact. I live in a city where everyone has something custom-made on their vehicle. My truck is pretty simple: a Bully Dog programmer, a custom intake made by myself, a straight 4-inch exhaust, and a triple gauge pod to make sure all is well underneath the hood. In regards to appearance, I have 22-inch aluminum Cruiser wheels, an '05 front end, and a beautiful King Ranch interior. She is very fun to drive, and like every proud owner, I would love to see a picture of her in your magazine."

Oil Working Rig
Marty Henderson wrote to us and said, "This truck was built by a buddy of mine (Chris Briggs) at Kicking Horse Ford in Golden, British Columbia, Canada. I live in Sylvan Lake, Alberta. It was purpose-built for work in the oil patch, no trailer princess here. The truck rides like a Cadillac-it has a 6-inch Procomp Stage 2 lift with front and rear traction bars, MX-6 adjustable shocks (dual in the front and single in the rear), and dual steering stabilizers. The Four Real Steel Baja bar is loaded with four six-inch Procomp stainless steel 130-watt lights, a T-Rex grille insert, and Recon Truck Accessories LED lights. A set of 355/60/20 Nitto Terragrapplers (37x14.50) on Helo Maxx 8 20x10 wheels complete the package. An SCT X2 (custom-tuned with Innovative Diesel's extreme race setting gets the truck moving). I've still got bigger plans for this one when time and weather permit."
