What He Wins
Darin wrote to us stating that he was inspired by Art Director Andy Mock's Dodge Dakota rendering. He plans on building something similar to what Andy is going to do. Along with the photos of his truck, Darin sent us photos of our recent posters hung up in his garage. He even went out and bought duplicates of our four-part series of posters so he could display both sides of them!
In recognition of Darin's support of the magazine, we're sending him his very own authentic Sport Truck banner. It came directly out of Kevin Aguilar's garage, and we hope you enjoy it, Darin.

So just how do you win our junk and get some cool Sport Truck stickers for your ride? It's easy. It all starts with you taking a killer photo of your truck and sending that along with all of your information as well as a list of mods done to your truck. High-resolution digital photos are preferred and may improve your chances of winning. But really what it comes down to is if your truck is cool enough to pass our standards (OK... more like if we happen to get a bull's-eye on the dartboard!). So get going! Get out there with your digital cameras, put the settings on high-quality, and start shootin'.
