TREAD YOTA 2025

Everyone one of you who has picked up this mag is as passionate as they come when it comes to Toyotas! I know have a special place in my heart for them. My first was a 1995 4Runner that I guided fishing trips out of, explored the back country with and made tons of great memories in. Now I have a new Tacoma that I plan of taking adventure with the family in. This issue of YOTA is packed with stories, features and tech for every kind of off-road enthusiast. WE have Camp Toyota checking out all of the new goodies from Toyota and experiencing them in stock form.

The 2023 Toyota Tundra, finished in Lunar Rock paint, is more than just a truck—it’s a carefully crafted machine built to conquer whatever lies ahead. Owned by ARB 4x4, this Tundra has been meticulously outfitted with a range of upgrades designed to maximize its potential. Under the hood, the Tundra houses a 3.4L twin-turbo V-6 engine that reliably delivers power. While the engine remains largely stock, it’s the carefully selected modifications that elevate this truck’s performance, making it a true off-road contender. The transmission and transfer case, both factory-installed, work in tandem to provide seamless power delivery and traction management, but it’s the addition of ARB components that truly set this build apart. At the front, the ARB Desert front bumper immediately catches the eye. It’s a practical upgrade, offering…

You’ve seen the amazing photos Evan Walsh of Blackhat Studios has captured over the years. We’ve published his work on our pages many times before, but while you were drooling over his exciting still images, have you ever wondered how he reaches the vantage points he shoots from?

Chances are high that he followed his 4WD subjects to these remote destinations in his own killer ride—a 2006 Toyota 4Runner that he has built into an absolute long-travel beast over the course of 4 years. What else would you expect a hardcore off-road photographer to mob to the ‘office’ in? When’s the last time you saw a 4Runner hauling ass through the desert? Not very…
