Just when we get to thinking that factory-fresh four-wheelers can't get any better, they get better. This is a pretty good deal. When you improve on an already high standard of excellence, everybody benefits. Quantifying those benefits, and apportioning kudus where they are deserved, is the point of Four Wheeler of the Year.

The "Tank Trap" This is it, the grand daddy of them all, the cherry on top of the sundae that is Top Truck Challenge. They call it the Tank Trap.

Last month we finished up our Ultimate Adventure 2010 coverage, but there are still a few loose ends left to the buildup of the Ultimate CJ-17, also known as the UACJ and Pewe's Pile, which we built for Editor Péwé to lead the trip with. The Jeep had sat neglected in his garage for years due to time constraints and the black hole that magazine projects can become.

top truck 2014 tank trap
One of the biggest reasons that Top Truck Challenge is such a popular competition is arguably what we consider the main event, the Tank Trap!

Top Truck Challenge competitors have to work their way through the Tank Trap which climbs 195 feet through mud, rocks, a tight off camber canyon, steep slippery hill climbs, water holes that can swallow up 54-inch tires, V-notches and a final dash to the finish righ -
