Editor’s Letter
The way different people experience and view adventure is likely to influence their decisions on where they go, what they do and how they get there. In this issue of Tread, we catch glimpses of this theme in the five vehicles that we feature, as well as in the outdoor activities and essential gear that we review.
Join us as we meet up with Grant Korgan, owner of the 4x4 Sportsmobile van that you see on the cover. Korgan hasn’t let a life-changing injury slow him down one bit, and as you shall soon read, his story is an inspiring one full of positivity. If you live deep in the city but still want access to dirt roads and the great outdoors in a practical way, you’ll want to take a look at the Subaru Crosstrek featured in Mini Rhino XV. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we drop in on a pair of must-see 4Runners built by CAtuned Off-Road. These near identical twins have been converted to run solid rear axles and wear 40-inch tires.
