All Pro Offroad put on a second edition of the FJ cruiser challenge from last year and called it "Getting Hammered with Allpro". The main event was yesterday the 24th..
Sunrise on the way to JV :
I believe we had 16+ trucks on the trail "aftershock" in the Hammers, Johnson Valley.
We got on the trail at around 10 am, before we hit trail head we checked out the very last obstical section of the trail, Mainly to let all the panzys give up before.. :P
This is the last section:
Random pic on the way to trail head
Anyway, Near the first obstical we had our first break of the day an 09 Dcab taco blew his rear 3rd. Left that truck on the sidelines and driver took shotty in someone else's rig..
This was a different truck on said obstical, 3-4' climb, This is where my short wheel base rules, I walked right up
Couple O FJ's
No the green one isnt a 2010. The green one has a lefty tcase, and ended up shearing something in the low range gears, 4H and 2H was fine, he turned around and went out.
With this many trucks it was a tight squeeze
Yeah my truck is actually there..

Wyatt showing off
Just another one of the sections
John blew a CV in his Dcab, I think thats why he got winched backwards.
See, My chit was there.
Pep's passing me up
Once we got to "depreciation knob" (the last section) JonB in his FJ40 go up no prob, Then an FJ80 on 35's was trying and got denied. The decision was made to have the whole group turn around. It was 630, we had already been wheelin for 8 hours and it was getting dark. With gravity on our side we made it down relatively problem free. I ended up leaning into a rock on my passenger side and got a smaller then dollar bill sized scratch, It blends in with the rest of the body damage.
Once we got back to JonB's cabin we really "got hammered"
And this is what I woke up to
Other then my small body damage and smashing one of my front turn signals, I had no breakage or any major problems
I think total carnage was the Taco rear diff, FJ Tcase, 2 CV's joints, Some rock rash, Pepe's bed got tweaked and the tie rod on an FJ80 got tweaked.
All and all it was a good time. And if you give me crap for turning around, well
Look for me in the Jan/Feb edition of 4WDTO mag
