Hey everyone! If you’re reading this right now, be sure to pat yourself on the back real quick. You made it through another month. Whether you’re in a great place in life or not, that’s something to smile about no matter the situation.

We’ve been busy grinding out getting Stock to Not powerful and reliable in preparation for driving from new Smyrna Beach, Florida, to Conroe, Texas, for Lone Star Throwdown 2024! It’s a 1,954-mile round trip venture, and if you’ve traveled the long, boring stretch of I-10 you know it’s not the smoothest road. Luckily for us, it ended up being a pretty smooth drive with some small hiccups but nothing that was detrimental to the truck. We got to post up in the Liberty Forged booth all weekend, and the truck got tons of attention and got to bask in some beautiful Texas weather.

We have some awesome features and coverage from LST that you’ll see in this issue, along with some new shoes for Stock to Not, and a feature of our friend Caleb’s beautiful 6.4L Power Stroke that you saw on the cover when you grabbed this mag off your grocery store’s shelf or pulled it out of the mailbox.

Thanks for taking the time this month to grab a tangible item to read and hopefully take some useful knowledge away from today. People like you are keeping print alive and we thank you for that.
