Best of 2016: Photos From the Dirt
There was no shortage of amazing backdrops in 2016. From JK Experience Alaska to the silt beds of Baja, Driving Line was there to cover all of the action. Here are a few of our favorite photos from one incredible year off-road.

Jacob Bair’s 70s body Chevy is always a front-runner at the nation’s biggest truck pulls. The classic Bow Tie sports a Cummins engine built by Haisley Machine—a name that’s put more customer’s in the winner’s circle than any other shop in the country throughout the last half decade.
Fun at work

They say it’s the last frontier. We spent a week traveling through the coldest ‘wheeling we’d ever encountered during JKX Alaska. The views and adventure was worth it, seen here on our final day at Knik Glacier.

A compass and map were all Bailey Campbell and Kendra Miller had to navigate them across 2,000 kilometers of off-road terrain during the Rebelle Rally.
Punch it

I can almost feel the punch of speed as Erik Miller’s car hits the berm in his path forcing his front tire to pitch up in the air at KOH 2016.

Andrew Karker’s Duramax-powered ’04 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, plowing a road at the local truck pulls. His street-driven, 900-rwhp GMC is known to beat purpose-built pulling trucks at their own game, run bottom 11’s in the quarter-mile, and even partake in a street race here and there.
Celebrate
