Lincoln Electric gave an auto-darkening welding helmet and a new MIG welder to Under Construction class winner, Kevin Blakbell. | 
The Velociraptor '03 Ford Excursion was just one of many lifted trucks that dominated the show field. |
This sticker is direct, to the point, and oh so correct. | |
Awards Given:
Erik Harbour of Kinetic Power Cells fame took home the Best of Show trophy with his Dodge Ram, which was recently on our cover. Hannah Caidin won $1,000 in the bikini contest, and West Coast Tire took home the Club Participation trophy. Kevin Blakbell won the sweet prizes from Lincoln Electric for his under-construction Tacoma.
Special Events:
This show was held at the London Bridge Resort golf course, and the trucks were parked right on the fairways, so if you're the plaid-pants type of guy and were savvy enough, you could sneak in some putting practice. Also, the show was right next to the channel on Lake Havasu, so boating (or just staring at hot chicks that were boating) was also an option.
We can forgive not running a bed on under-construction rides to show off the rear suspension. But we can't forgive the popcorn-welded tray and ratchet-strap battery mount. C'mon! | 
On the left, you've got a Caddy sheetmetal swap on a newer Chevy. On the right, you've got a brand-new Caddy swap on a brand-new Chevy. The owner of the '08 drove over 20 hours through a snowstorm in Canada to come party with us, and he dropped 12,000 bucks at his local dealer for his parts. It looks damn good too! |
Devious Customs rolled out a fresh chassis with a "kitty killer" rear link arrangement. The center pivot beneath the pumpkin reportedly will clear a speed bump, but we seriously doubt Fluffy would make it. | |
