AllPro Off Road Jamboree - Toyota Takeover
Pickups and 4Runners get points for capability and popularity. Land Cruisers, like this clean 60-series example get points for capability and the cool factor.
He doesn't have a trail rig at the moment, so All-Pro employee LeRoy Merriam showed up on a '92 KX250. Most dirt bikers stay on the flat, high-speed sections in Stoddard Valley, but he and his KX felt at home in the rocks.
Pizza delivery Stoddard-style? Nope, just a clever roof ornament. With big tires and not much remaining sheetmetal, this 4Runner eased through sections that gave other rigs fits and dents.
Yours truly showed up in the X-Blade Xterra. The X's tires were among the smallest on the trail run, but careful line choice and a locked rear axle conquered the trail in the end.
Raffle tickets, anyone? Prize winners at the All-Pro Jamboree can look forward to stuff that really improves their rigs. Leaf springs, transfer-case parts, and other real-world hard parts are worth buying a gaggle of tickets for.
All-Pro's Chris Pittman put his camera down long enough to guide his nearly stock '88 4Runner through the twists and turns on Achy Breaky. Smallish tires meant that the rock sliders got a good workout.
The look says rock buggy, but there are still a few feet of stock Land Rover Defender framerail underneath the handmade side panels and the cage work. This section of trail was shared by the intermediate and easy runs. See what's meant by "easy" being a relative term?
Despite careful driving and ShrockWorks bumpers and rock sliders, the X went home with matching dents on both rear doors. Had the sliders been absent, the rocker panels and the rest of the doors would have been re-contoured by the relentless rocks at Stoddard. I got off easy.
