Recap of the 39th Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Fall 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals

4X4 PARTY!

Immediately upon entering the Fall Jambo, we were greeted by a massive bumper-to-bumper line of 4x4s in the Cruise Lane.

We were stoked when we learned that the 39th Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Fall 4-Wheel Jamboree Nationals was a go. Taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, the event, often referred to simply as the “Fall Jambo,” was set to bring more than 2,000 4x4s to the Heartland and we couldn’t wait to attend. Jam packed with a multitude of events beginning on Friday and continuing all the way through Sunday afternoon, the Fall Jambo was nirvana for 4x4 enthusiasts. There was just about everything for every type of 4x4 fan at the event, including a Performance Marketplace, Show-N-Shine, General Tire Monster Truck Show, General Tire Burnout Competition, mud bog racing, the Tough Truck Challenge, mega trucks, a Dyno Challenge, monster truck rides, and lots more.

We spent a lot of time checking out Kenda Tires’ ’91 Chevy K5 Blazer. It’s outfitted with a 6.2L LS engine mated to a 4L80E, paired with a combination behemoth transfer case and underdrive box. The rig sits on heavily modified 1-ton axles with an Eaton ELocker-equipped GM Dana 60 upfront and an Eaton Detroit Locker inside the GM 14-bolt in the rear. Bilstein M9100 2.5-inch bypass shocks and coil overs keep the ride as smooth as possible, even in extreme conditions.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
