AllPro Off Road Jamboree - Toyota Takeover

"Your raffle ticket and your child, please!"

All-Pro's Jon Bundrant used his FJ40 and a yank strap to free the high-centered Taco'.

Terry Baker is normally behind the wheel, but he gave his wife the FJ's controls and hopped out for spotting duties.

Whoops! This rock reached up and snared itself one unsuspecting late-model Tacoma.

We caught Matt Rust taking a nap at the wheel of Sami Supreme. Not really, but Matt's recent upgrades make once-tough trails a casual venture.

The final section of the Achy Breaky trail was an optional run up Costly Canyon. This '85 4Runner shows just why these rigs are so sought-after: A factory-installed 22RE and a solid front axle make a great base to build from. The 4Runner's OEM configuration combined with 35s, 5-inch lift springs, and a pair of limited slip differentials moved the 'Runner steadily forward to the top.

With a few last-minute details yet to be completed on his solid-front-axle FJ Cruiser, Jon Bundrant decided to postpone the FJ's dirt debut. We'll shoot Jon's completed FJ soon though. Jon brought another FJ instead: his FJ40. From the Dana 60s to the three-link front suspension to the healthy Chevy crate motor under the front clip, the '40 carried Jon wherever he wanted to go without breaking a sweat.

All-Pro air-down system? Terry had put together air valves and vinyl tubing in a configuration that allows airing all four tires up or down simultaneously. Since airing up and down is only slightly more fun than brushing your teeth with steel wool, this would be a welcome addition to any off-roader's toolbag.
