Defiance is often looked upon with disdain from those who don’t quite fully understand that it’s just how some people work—no offense intended. Rules are merely suggestions for those who just can’t fall in line, and the conventions of the mainstream are to be avoided at all costs.

You have to have the thirst, the drive, and the…

The United States Army, which has been around for nearly 250 years, is one of the most integral and monumental forces in the United States military. As a young boy, Nick Butts would play with Army men and go into battle with his toys. At 19, Nick decided it was time to enlist, learn the discipline, and get the experience he was seeking.

Nick was working as a technician for Ford Motor Company when he enlisted and was immediately deployed into Afghanistan in March of 2014. “I actually turned 21 in a watch tower with a mining gun,”…

When it comes to driving a big truck or pulling a trailer down the road, ensuring that you can stop in the event of an emergency is important. Yeah, the stock brakes on modern trucks are good and get the job done, but let’s be real. Most of us prefer putting aftermarket parts on our trucks to make them perform better in all situations. For this article, we partnered up with a local truck owner and Wilwood Disc Brakes to show you not only the benefits of a larger performance brake kit, but also to show you how simple the installation is. If you have basic wrenching knowledge, a few hand tools, and a floor jack (or lift), you too can upgrade your full brake system to something much better…
