Community First, Trail Always

At 5150 Offroad, we have always believed in one thing at our core. It doesn’t matter what you drive; it matters where you drive it and who you drive it with. For us, off-roading has never just been about the trails, the mud, or the machines. It is about community in every sense of the word. The off-roading family that supports each other on and off the trail, and the local community we proudly call home.

Rowdy charities, inc. 7th annual toy drive

Every year, there are events that remind us why we show up, year after year, rain or shine. Rowdy Charities, Inc.'s annual toy drive is one of those events for us.

On December 6th, 2025, we once again had the honor of participating in the 7th Annual Rowdy Charities Toy Drive. This is an event we have supported every single year, and it is one we genuinely look forward to. It brings together the off-roading community for a purpose bigger than any build or trail ride.

This year, our group donated toys, three bicycles for children, and, most importantly, our time. Two of our members, Kayla and Tracy, volunteered their day helping sort and wrap gifts that would soon be delivered to families in need. Watching the off-roading community come together to make sure kids have something special to open on Christmas morning is something that never gets old.

"Being in a position to help spread holiday joy to children who might otherwise be unable to adds something special to the holidays each year. Watching the 5150 Offroad family continually put everything we can into this toy drive and setting aside time each year to help our off-road family do something amazing fills me with joy."
- Kayla Evans

"There is something truly special about spreading Christmas cheer to multiple families, and being part of this tradition over the past few years has been a blessing."
- Tracy Holdcraft

Events like this are a reminder that the off roading community is more than horsepower and tire size. It is generosity, teamwork, and showing up when it matters.

Conway, Ar Annual Christmas Parade

on Saturday, December 13th, 2025, we had the opportunity to give back in a different way. This time, it was about sharing our love of off-roading with the town that 5150 Offroad proudly calls home.

We rolled into the Conway, Arkansas, Annual Christmas Parade ready to represent not just our brand, but the entire off-roading lifestyle. Alongside the parade, there was also a Fill the Truck toy drive, and toys from our group were donated to help spread even more holiday cheer.

Our parade lineup was a perfect reflection of who we are. Three Jeeps led the way, including Sharptooth, owned and driven by 5150 Offroad founder Kayla Evans, Lilo, owned and driven by Zoey Alexis, and Rowdy Razorback, owned and driven by Mike Ripa. Following close behind was our token Bronco, Astral, owned and driven by Jean Cook.

We also brought out three side-by-sides, including the always recognizable Pinkies Up, owned and driven by 5150 Offroad founder Derik McGuire. The rest of the crew included two four-wheelers, a three-wheeler, a Hummer owned and driven by Drew "Puddin" Prine, and bringing up the rear was the Ram 2500 known as Ramdiator, driven by 5150 Offroad founder Danielle McGuire.

Kayla and Sharptooth proudly led our group through the parade, with Danielle and Ramdiator trailing at the end, making sure no one was left behind. Every rig was decorated, every rider waved, and every smile reminded us why community events like this matter.

"Leading our group that was so varied in the Conway Parade, it was so fun seeing the kids light up when they saw the vehicles, the decorations, or just the cool rides they might not see every day. We showed what 5150 Offroad is all about, and we got to share it with our hometown. It doesn't matter what you drive; it's where you drive it, and we are all one giant off-roading family."
- Kayla Evans

"Whether it’s on trail or on pavement, 5150 knows how to ensure fun is had. This was my first time attending the Conway Christmas Parade, and I’m already looking forward to next year. Thank you for having me along for the ride."
- Mike Ripa

"The opportunity to be a part of the Conway parade will always be something I'm grateful for. It gives us the opportunity to share something that we are all so extremely passionate about with the community that we love. Hopefully, one day, when those kids grow up, we will see them out on the trail exploring all the places that normal vehicles just can't reach."
- Derik McGuire

"Being in the Christmas parade for the surrounding communities is one of my favorite things we do this time of year. Seeing all the people and especially the little kids who get so excited about the decorated vehicles, makes all the time spent working on them beyond worth it. The fact that just seeing the vehicles decorated and yelling Merry Christmas brings them so much joy is the reason I participate year after year."
- Danielle McGuire

For us, this parade was not about what anyone was driving. Jeeps, Broncos, side-by-sides, trucks, ATVs, and everything in between were all welcomed and celebrated. It was about showing Conway that off roading is family friendly, inclusive, and full of people who love their community as much as they love the trails.

These types of events perfectly capture what 5150 Offroad stands for. We are dedicated to the off-roading community that has supported us from the beginning, and we are equally dedicated to the local community that we are proud to be a part of.

Whether we are donating toys, wrapping gifts, rolling through a Christmas parade, or heading out to the trails, our mission stays the same. Build community, welcome everyone, and prove that it does not matter what you drive, it matters where you drive it and who you drive it with.

We cannot wait for what the next year brings, on the trails and in our community
