FJ Cruisers Hit Rock Bottom In Vegas!! 

It was very $$$!!

It turned into a pretty pricey adventure! 😬

Anthony is good!

Thank you!

Good truck, good spotter and good driver is what made it happen!

I don't understand why he doesn't just buy a toggle switch at the hardware store.

@@Fix_It_Again_Tony I bought Ken's locker set up and did not realize he did not include the switch until 2days before we left on the trip.

I'll second this comment! As capable of a rig as it is now he will be hunting for tough trails that could end up upside down. Would probably make 😃 me pretty good content too!

It's a great area, you'll have a blast!

I'm back up an running already thanks to some quick thinking already having all the parts needed (800 miles away) and Ken as my wrenching asst. 😂

@@montanafjc haha.. nice.

😂😂 yes catch up!

Done! 👍 Mostly... 😄

@@offroadhub.official can’t wait for the video! I would have come but my Jeep doesn’t have a front diff right now. I’m guessing the rain made it tough!

@@bryanfrost1460 the rain... Yes 😄

I'll be headed that way sooner or later!

Thank you! Anthony is on 35's and a 3ish inch lift.

He's towing a tiny camper on this trip, so the sway bar is needed.

Normally I don't run the sway. But yes towing it helps alot!

@@offroadhub.official I pulled the 16ft Sunlite with no sway bars from CO to Moab, and its actually not too bad with the hitch stabilizer!

I don't know about a sas being cheap 😄

Thank you! Yes, I chuckled because back in Moab there was a moment when Anthony couldn't turn the wheel, so I changed my approach to "if you can." He had atrac going, but it isn't enough in bigger rocks!

@@offroadhub.official yeah I was the one that made the what would be a false statement but we got some good laughing out of it. Y’all are killing it!! Thanks for all of the inspiration. I used to wheel like that and now it’s time to get back to my roots. Love the content from you both.

Don't know if you would call it 'an IFS issue'. He hit a rock hard enough to shatter a rim. I'm sure a solid front axle vehicle wouldn't come out unscathed either.

@@stevendouglas6593 Good point but I think it actually would have. Don’t think the impact would have bent the axle. The IFS is a weak link.

I think this was a flook hit. I wasn't going fast or hit it hard. I've hit things much harder with much less damage. Name of the game i guess

@@montanafjc Ohhh, felt bad for you bro. I’ve been there…

@@DUNEATV yea it was a bummer for sure. Thx tho!

Atrac was on. It just doesn't cut it on bigger rocks.

I disagree with Ken as I never had Atrac issues before on large rocks. I do think the brake pads being just about gone may have soemthign to do with it as Atrac uses the brakes to transfer power.

Never broke a tie rod end wheeling

Usually lca go on me

I've only seen it on one trail. I'm worried about having to spot for Ken over these wild obstacles he's now attempting. I'm probably NEVER going to drive it again. I'm extremely impressed with its capabilities. It will be fun to watch Ken develop more confidence with the new set-up and conquer more trails, new and old. I still like the idea of having my own offroad capable vehicle but nothing this large...which would eliminate my ability to actually offroad WITH the FJ. LOL! We'll see! I know this: the channel needs to be a LOT bigger before we fund a second vehicle;-) #mrsoffroadhub

I think a samurai on 37s could do most of not all of what Ken's FJ is doing! The wheelbase is Soo short and they are Soo light!

Dramatic effect!

He was towing a trailer on this trip, so having the sway bar was important. But I never found disconnecting the sway bar to give any benefit off road anyway. That ifs doesn't move much, no matter what you do with the sway bar.

@@offroadhub.official Thank you for the info!

@@toddeliott20 I never have the sway bar on when wheeling. I actually put it back on for this trip. I do u like Ken notice a big difference when the sway bar is on. But towing a trailer so far I was glad I put it back on for sure!

He hasn't installed a switch 😂

@@offroadhub.official Gotcha! 😆

You can't always turn when your wheels they get locked up. If you hit some aggressive trails you will learn that.

@@montanafjc Hmmmmm.... the comment was to say in so many many words that Anthony does not follow Ken's instructions.... also, Ken is a good spotter, and he also has that aggressive trail experience that you speak of, and he can see where the driver cannot, so if I'm sitting there behind the wheel, and I can't see what my wheels are doing, and I have a good spotter, I'm gonna have faith that he's gonna give me good instructions, even if it means bending a tie-rod (of which I have four spares in my FJC). Regardless of how much or how little experience I have (of which you have not idea), I never mentioned when he should turn left or right, I'm merely commenting on what I'm seeing and hearing, and then voicing my opinion.

@@terryberg like I said

Yea very obvious!

He was towing a small camper on this trip so the sway bar was helpful for that.

@@offroadhub.official absolutely, I would never run without a sway bar when towing, and in general don't recommend it on highway. Wish there were good sway bar quick disconnects for the FJ. Since I use mine primarily off road I went for spindle gussets but they required removing the sway bar, which I was doing most of the time anyway. However, there are now spindle gussets that do support using the sway bar, so a good mod for heavy off road, and it's pretty easy to pull the sway bar off for technical trails.

We'll see... Lots of tire options out there.

@@offroadhub.official I had a set on 84 PU, seemed too much "balloon" effect, causing bounce. Tempting due to price. Love the build, Happy Trails.

Maybe... 🤔

He has a front locker. He just needs a switch! 😄

Hahahahahahahahaha…… that’s even worse, it’s a no brainer. Get one in Vegas along with the front right upper control arm repairs.

@@terryberg easier said then done!

Yes. That is atrac. When you get into bigger rocks it falls short.

Pretty sure Atrac isn't working right liekly due to my brake pads being almost completely worn out. In other of my videos it works flawlessly!

'Murica.
