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.

We’ve had plenty of EVs in the shop, and while most can blast from zero to sixty in a blink, they usually leave us a little motion sick. The connection to the road? Often missing, like a video game with no road feel. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N changes all that. This is the first electric car that’s made us grin like rally drivers—and honestly, the first one we’d seriously consider owning.

A performance EV like this isn’t meant to be babied—it’s meant to be driven. But aggressive driving kicks up rocks, road grime, and debris that can chip paint and ruin that clean look. That’s where we come in.

Let’s be real—we’ve loved our KRX 1000 since the beginning. That thing rock crawls like a spider on steroids. But for years, we’ve had one tiny complaint: it just didn’t have the raw horsepower to be an all-around machine and have fun at the dunes, and the suspension left us wanting more when speeds picked up.

Kawasaki must have been listening.

Because the 2026 Teryx4 H2, Teryx4 H2 Deluxe, and Teryx5 H2 Deluxe have arrived—and they're everything we hoped the KRX could be and more.

Installing a set of mud flaps or splash guards isn’t rocket science — but there are definitely a few spots where things can go sideways. At RokBlokz, we’ve shipped out thousands of mud flap kits for everything from WRXs to Tacomas to side-by-sides. So yeah, we’ve seen just about every install mistake in the book.

But don’t worry — we’re not here to roast anyone. If you’ve made one of these mistakes (or two, or five), you’re in good company. Let’s walk through the most common mud flap install problems we see, explain what’s actually going wrong, and show you how to fix it so your flaps do what they’re built to do: protect your ride and look damn good doing it.

Nothing kills a car’s vibe faster than swirl marks, water spots, and leftover bug guts after a wash. If you're the kind of driver who actually gives a damn about your paint job, your mods, or your aftermarket vinyl wrap, you know the automatic car wash just doesn’t cut it.

So, what’s the real deal? Is hand washing worth your time, or should you just take the convenience hit and hope for the best at your local tunnel wash? Crossing your fingers the entire tunnel ride that nothing gets ripped off, cracked, broken, or dented. We're speaking from experience here.
