Matt Johnson brought one of his many projects over from Norwood,
Colorado, to Moab this year—and he told us it is titled as a ’74

skills as he weaves the truck over and through the rocks of Moab.
Esteban Solano’s ’03 Chevy 2500 didn’t always
have a front driveshaft, but now it does, and we’re
glad he was out crawling the trails this year. His 37s
and rocker protection complemented the truck’s
long wheelbase, making playing in the rocks easy.
