When it comes to carnage, Top Truck Challenge is the epitome of vehicular awesomeness. From the opening of the Tow Test to the end of the Tank Trap, axleshafts break, hydraulic lines snap, winches burn out, and engines overheat. Of course, we wouldn't have it any other way-it wouldn't be Top Truck if it were any easier-but most of our competitors end their week in Hollister Hills with an extensive list of bruised and busted parts. Enter our 40-plus sponsors, who generously donate a plethora of product and myriad gift cards to lighten the burden on our competitors' wallets-the better to get their rigs buttoned up and wheeling again. Here's what they got for their efforts this year:
