Orange County mechanical engineer and photographer Matt Girgis built his 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 — nicknamed RAD_Z71 for Roam, Adventure, Discover — into a fully-loaded overland rig. From KC lighting and DV8 armor to a rooftop tent and Baja Kit prerunner suspension, see how this Colorado tackles trails from Big Bear to the Eastern Sierra while fueling Matt’s passion for landscape photography.
Keeping Starlink Mini connected on the road has always meant picking your poison. Drill a hole in the roof and run a permanent cable, strap the dish to a ladder or bumper where it’s exposed to branches and low-hanging obstacles, or set it up loose on the dash every time you park — which gets old fast when you’re moving camp daily. TRIO’s Mini Interior Mount takes a different approach: it puts the dish inside the vehicle, against the windshield, sunroof or a side window, with no drilling and no permanent modification required.
Anyone who has logged serious miles in a pair of hiking boots knows the insole that comes stock in most footwear is an afterthought, not a foundation. It’s thin and it does almost nothing to stabilize your foot on loose rock, root-covered singletrack, or a steep, uneven descent. That’s the gap Superfeet Insoles has been filling for decades. We recently put four of their most popular insoles through real trail time to see which ones actually earn a permanent spot in our boots.
The Toyota Tundra finally reached Australian showrooms in late 2024 following an extensive local evaluation program, I have been given the opportunity to put the recently launched top of the range Platinum model through its paces.

A full-sized pick-up truck has been a long time coming to our shores.
