A year ago, I ordered my LabRak Expedition Roof Rack from a Mexican honeymoon suite—the first of many marital mistakes. It’s moved couches, hauled hundreds of pounds of gear and even survived a truck totaling accident in Death Valley. But at the price of a used Land Rover, is the LabRak worth it?
What it is:
The LabRak Expedition Roof Rack is an American-made, extreme-duty, modular roof rack utilizing extensive T-Slotting for infinite mounting possibilities and named after the owner’s Labrador.

Last but not Least. The FJ Cruiser Trail Team Ultimate Edition
It’s the end of the trail for the FJ Cruiser and Toyota leaves us with the special edition FJ Cruiser Trail Team Ultimate Edition (FJ UE). The FJ UE marks nine years of Toyotas modern style SUV which paid homage to the original and renowned FJ40. In those nine years the FJ has become an off road legend and shows its prowess as one of the most capable vehicles. It’s no slouch in stock form, but a few add on items get you a serious trail rig. The FJ has seen several special editions over the years, including the very popular Trail Teams Editions and the original TRD Special Edition, as well as a few lesser known vehicles such as the ARB Edition FJ Crawler and XPLORE Edition. All of these vehicles had the 4.0-liter V6 and 4x4 underpinnings, but were equipped with various accessories which boosted performance and/or off road capabilities.

Where we last left off with the Williams’ 1985 4Runner project for 16 year-old Blake, the new engine from 22RE Performance was running and upholstery completed. Jeff reported that, “the new engine has exceeded our expectations. It runs perfectly - not a single issue after the install. I think that gets back to using mostly OEM parts.”
