I read that one the other day, I will have to try to get to that one.

Chillin in Johnson Valley article will get you pumped up for the 2008 ALL PRO JAMBOREE!!!! Keep your calender open for this must do SO CAL event.
DUSTPARK said so.......
I went on an All Pro Off Road Toyota 4Runner Jamboree in 2001. All I can say is I learned the importance of having dual transfer cases on the Hammer Trails. Jon's rig was sick! After watching other rigs bashing metal, I kinda wimped out and went on the more scenic trails.
This is a Jan 2008 date. Last year I think it was the 8th. Just make this your first priority wheeling date. You won't regret it. ALL-PRO will post a date and will let everyone know what trail is good for the FJC. Most of the trails are impassable for a FJC. That place is for the hardcore Crawlers. The rigs you see at this event are inspiring.
We might be lucky and see the ALL PROS ULTIMATE FJC in action!
If they are impassable for the FJC, what do we do? Walk it?
Last year Jon lead a group on Fissure Mountain. I don't know if he will lead this trail again. I do now that this trail is rated for the FJC. The Magazine explains this trail. There was a stock truck with bald BFG A/T on this trail with us last year and we got a kick out of that. There was no carnage at the end of the day except the normal slider scraps and skidplate nic's.
It would be cool to go and watch the hardcore crawlers negotiate Sledgehammer, Backdoor, Outer limits, Jackhammer, Aftershock, Full of hate, ect. NO FJC should do those trails without a SAS. I would like to catch a ride with someone and do those trails or drive over and watch. I will probably Pick a run suitable for my FJC. Fissure Mountain.
Tony, This is what our FJC may look like in the Future

Yeah, it'd be great to catch a ride with someone. Preferably one that stays top side up! I agree with the SAS comment. It's necessary on this trip. So Sol, Amanda, can I catch a ride?
Brent, no... my FJC won't look like that picture! Be fun to run a Formula Toy there though.
