Tread March/April 2026: New Year, New Builds, New Adventures

AS SEEN IN OUR MARCH/APRIL 2026 ISSUE – Buy Now!

Welcome to the New Year!

2025 was full of some amazing adventures and rad builds of all kinds! I spent a lot of time exploring Idaho, the Yellowstone region, and Oregon’s North Coast. I’ve already started planning trips for 2026 that I’m looking forward to sharing with all of you. Have you started laying out your calendar for the year, or do you just wing it?

Our March/April issue is packed with rad features, killer events, and a fun new segment called Behind the Builder. The crew headed out to Terra Crew’s Prerunner Paradise, and the Bomber Bash got some great coverage of the events. We have some incredible feature builds, including the PRZY Bronco, an epic custom widebody prelander; Jolen’s fun-having PRO R; Stephen’s FJ Crawler “Wontons” build; an amazing overland-built Tundra; Stephanie’s wicked short course UTV; and CBI’s 6th Gen Toyota 4Runner on Portals. Each of these builds has its own special touches, and we are pumped to share them with you.

We also have a great tech article for you too, including an update on the American Gladiator build to help quiet your ride.

Of course, we’ve got all your favorite columns as well—Made the Cut, Tread on Trails, Outfitted, and Gear Box—each packed with the latest gear, accessories, and destination inspiration for your off-road lifestyle.

Share your adventures, photos, and stories with us at tread.com. Whether it’s a weekend run or a bucket-list expedition, we love seeing what you’re up to. You can also tag us on Instagram@tread_magazine whenever you post!

And if you’ve got an unbelievable build or an unforgettable journey in the works, don’t hesitate to reach out. Email me at dence@engage.media. I’d love to hear about it.

I can’t wait to see what you all get into during the 2026 season!

Happy trails,
Devan Ence
