Readers' Rides Showcase 2008!

Let the Bragging Rights Begin

By Editors of Truck Trend

Do you spend every weekend working on your truck, whether you're fixing it up or making the paint shine? Is your ride legendary around town? Or is your rig the pride and joy people would need to see to believe? Whether your truck's a 20-year project or a sneaky torque machine, it's time to show it off. Use the form on this page to tell us all about your pickup or SUV--what you've done to it, what you use it for, and any great stories that involve your ride. And if you start by saying "it may not look like much..." let us know what cool technology hides under your pickup's clever disguise. When you send us photos, it would be great to see it in action: towing a boat or ATVs, working hard on the job site, in a cool vacation setting, or filled with friends on Spring Break (but keep it tasteful). All you need to do is make sure you have the form fully filled out and photos shot to the best of your ability, then send them in.
