Every now and then, something shows up at SEMA that makes everyone stop and stare. This year, that moment belonged to Toyota. The brand rolled into Las Vegas and dropped a bombshell — the Toyota Scion 01 UTV Concept, a turbocharged hybrid side-by-side that looks ready to take on the dunes, trails, and maybe even the competition itself.

And no, this isn’t the Scion brand we remember from the 2000s with boxy commuter cars and youth marketing gimmicks. This is a rebirth in name only — a wild, purpose-built Toyota Scion 01 hybrid UTV designed to explore what’s possible when off-road engineering and hybrid technology collide.

Unlike summer riding, where heat and dehydration are the primary concerns, winter riding requires dealing with freezing temperatures, snowdrifts, and rapidly changing weather conditions. Trails that seem manageable in warm weather can become treacherous when covered in ice and snow. Keeping yourself warm, your UTV running, and your route planned is essential for a safe and successful winter ride. 

Here’s everything you need to pack and prep to make sure your winter UTV adventure stays fun—and doesn’t turn into a cold weather survival situation. 

When the temperature drops and the snow starts to fall, even the most confident drivers know winter brings its own set of challenges. Ice, sleet, salt, and reduced visibility all combine to make driving riskier — and harder on your vehicle. Every year, thousands of crashes occur on snow-covered roads, many of which could be prevented with better preparation and awareness. That’s why we created this handy guide on winter weather driving safety tips and preparation. 

When Ford brought back the Bronco, it wasn’t just another SUV release — it was a revival. The Bronco’s rugged DNA, boxy stance, and go-anywhere attitude instantly made it a favorite among off-roaders and weekend explorers alike. Whether you’re plowing through sand dunes, crawling over rocks, or just daily driving your city streets, the Bronco was built for action and adventure.

But with that adventure comes one problem every Bronco owner eventually faces: flying rocks, mud, and debris beating up your paint and fenders. That wide stance turns your tires into catapults. That’s where RokBlokz Ford Bronco mud flaps come in — built tough, easy to install, and designed by people who live for dirt, dust, and trail time.

From October 14–19, 2025, Sand Hollow State Park in Hurricane, Utah will come to life as UTV Takeover celebrates its 10th anniversary. Over five action-packed days, thousands of riders, families, and vendors will gather for what has become one of the largest, family-friendly off-road event series in the country.

If you’ve never been to UTV Takeover, it’s time to plan a trip. With competitions, group rides, concerts, vendors, camping, and more, there’s no better way to immerse yourself in the UTV off-road lifestyle. Whether you’re bringing a UTV or just coming to soak in the atmosphere, UTV Takeover has something for you and the whole family.

When it comes to midsize trucks that have earned an almost cult-like following, the Toyota Tacoma sits at the top of the list. For three decades, it’s been more than just a pickup—it’s become a lifestyle symbol for off-roaders, overlanders, and weekend adventurers alike. Known for reliability, rugged build quality, and serious off-road chops, the Tacoma has carved out a legacy few trucks can touch.

And if you’re a Tacoma owner—or thinking about becoming one—you’ll quickly realize why these trucks hold their value, why aftermarket customization is such a big deal, and why a set of RokBlokz Toyota Tacoma mud flaps is one of the smartest first upgrades you can make.

Most people think of racing as straight speed — fastest car wins. Formula Drift flips that idea on its head. Instead of chasing lap times, drivers are scored on how far they can push a car sideways while keeping it under control. It’s door-to-door battles, 1,000-horsepower builds, and judges deciding who had the better run.

We had the chance to see it all up close at the Utah round this year. Experiencing the sport firsthand gave us a better understanding of how Formula Drift works and why it’s different from anything else in motorsports.

From September 29 through October 4, 2025, off-roaders from across the country will descend on Hurricane, Utah, for one of the most unique and community-driven events in the off-road world: Trail Hero. This year marks Trail Hero’s 10th anniversary, and it continues to be one of our favorite events.

This isn’t just a trail riding event—it’s a week that blends rock crawling, world-class motorsports, concerts, vendor expos, and a deep commitment to land-use advocacy and community outreach. Veterans, special needs riders, families, and off-road diehards all come together on the red rock and sand dunes of Sand Hollow for a once-a-year gathering that keeps getting bigger and bigger.

There are a ton of ways to dial in the feel of your car—better tires, tighter suspension, short throw shifters—but if you’re driving a manual and haven’t swapped out your shift knob, you’re probably missing one of the easiest and most satisfying mods you can do.

At RokBlokz, we’re not here to push fluff or bs. We’re here for real performance—like how a weighted shift knob can completely change the way your shifter feels, how your hand moves through the gate, and how purposeful your drive becomes. If you’ve ever felt like stock shifting feels too light, too vague, or just plain boring, keep reading.
