Tahuya PNW Slippery Boulder Wheeling!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 бер 2022
- This was my second day in Tahuya OHV park in western Washington state. There was a pretty good crowd for this one which included several Toyota FJ Cruisers, some Jeeps, and an old Toyota truggy (An old pickup turned into a buggy, truck/buggy = truggy). It was fun day where nobody broke anything! It started raining toward the end of the day, which made all the boulders extra slippery.

Love the Sunday morning editions!
Slippery rock Sunday. Thanks Ken
Ken, we are really enjoying your videos. Some of us would like to help you with a little gas money. Consider starting a Patreon account or an equivalent and link it to your videos.
That's a good idea. Don't the videos get monetized when he hits 10k subscribers? He's super close to 10k
@@forreststrong797 You get monetized after 1K but the pay is less than people think. Small channels need all the help that can get. It’s very expensive to get started.
@@DUNEATV oh ok, I don't know much about all that but I'd like to help him out if there's a way to help with gas and whatnot. Thanks for letting me know about this, that is interesting. I heard somewhere that it was 10k to get monetized but that's nice that it's 1k
@@forreststrong797 There are several factors that determine the monetization, including the companies that are willing to advertise, and how people actually watch the clip or the advertisements.
Personally, I have zero respect for viewing advertisements now that Google puts 30 to 180 minute Infomercials and documentaries in the middle of a short program, as “advertisements.” The company are constantly screwing with your viewing experience to try to harass you to buy Premium.
Awesome watching these. Man on a mission with his FJ !
So many fj fans there🤩🤩🤩
Love your FJ 👌that thing looks unstoppable
Looked like good times for sure! 🍿🧈
Gotta admit, a large part of the reason I still watch is to see if Ken breaks anything
Well whatever the reason, thanks for watching!
cool hanging out. love the videos
Thanks for coming out Shawn! It was awesome!
Awesome video !
We like "low gearing" too !
Fun in the uh, rain! Once again Ken’s build delivers as he scales over the rocks and logs slathered with Pacific Northwest butter.
All that time spent researching your build and designing your Fj is paying off!
Thanks for another great video Ken!
Thanks Jey!
@@offroadhub.official decent low.[ must be ford.],. watch a unimog, with ''super low'' , guy filmed it outside the truck, no one driving, climbed up a 3ft vertical log. i couldnt work out what we were looking at. didnt seem to move.
that YJ though ❤
@17:32 I think he meant sponsor for Atlas lol that was friggin' awesome!
At least the mud is real! Manmade rock piles seem odd to me, I'm from the granite state.
Being from Texas all that rain would get old.......
Just need sweet skills, but yeah it always rains in WA even when the sun is out. Right Ken?
@@justonpolson7690 it was raining, and sunny at the same time! 😆
My old stomp!
Thanks for the great Sunday morning video!
Can I ask why it looks as though everyone is running to high a tire pressure? I'm sure it probably a video looks different than real life thing but those tires look awfully stiff for slick rock crawling.
(from experience) when there is dirt and moisture and you're ram jammin up slick rocks and logs you'll bend a wheel or pinch-flat a tire if you don't have a enough air. It's always a trade off.
Ken and the Truggy were most definitely both in the single digit psi.
I was running about 8 psi. I know everyone else was aired down, exactly how much I don't know.
Thats kinda what I figured then, its a camera makes it look stiff thing.
I have a question about the atlas shifter location since you've used them, i have a cherokee xj. I know every vehicle will be different and mine is very different, but generally speaking would you prefer the planetary shifter in front of the twin sticks or behind the twin sticks closer and easier to reach? I was thinking I'd do in front of the transfer case sticks kinda out of the way but I can also put it closer to me between the seats around the parking brake handle. How often do you shift the planetary? I have an automatic transmission with a aftermarket electronic shifting device and shifter set up so I can choose gears and hold them and lock my converter anytime. I've been looking at pictures seeing what most people do and it seems like they put the planetary shifter forward of the case shifters but I think I can fit the planetary shifter in 2 different locations so I'd like to know what you think since you have real world experience.
I can't wait to play with my 4 speed atlas. I wish I didn't have to wait so darn long, I paid for everything and had them send me shifters so I could play with that stuff but really all I might be able to do without the case is mock up the planetary shifter. My transfer case shifters have the solid linkage.
My planetary shifter is next to my axle shifters, not in front of or behind. Just put them where you can reach them and they don't hit anything is all I can advise! 😄
where did you get the low profile taillights for your FJ?
There was a guy making them briefly, but that business didn't pan out for him. I'm glad I got a set.
I enjoy the vids a bunch. You ever think of getting some maxxis treps? It would be interesting to see how they'd perform on the same obstacles in the same rig.
Thanks for watching! I've observed the Trepadors many times now, and I have to say I would not want them. They seem to perform poorly every time I see them.
@@offroadhub.official Interesting! They're also like $1300 a piece for your size.
I know the camera flattens stuff out a lot, but there are times when I watch your rig hung up on stuff that doesn't make sense to me (again I'm sure the camera deception is the biggest agent here), but its made me wonder if it's because you've got a harder compound in the rubber or something.
@@guywheeler4225 yes sticky tires in 42" are stupid expensive. But the iroks are pretty soft really.
@@offroadhub.official hey bro, I live out by brown's camp. Did you happen to keep gps coordinates for that long steep rock trail by chance? If that name doesn't ring a bell I'll re-look it up from the video.
@@guywheeler4225 I wasn't recording any gps coordinates. Sorry.
When the terrain is wet I don’t think a tank would make it up these obstacles.
Probably not 😄
I'm Jonesing it's Thursday and you know The Thing that happens every Tuesday & Thursday? Hope y'all are well.
You must have missed the announcement! Videos are going to be once a week, on Sundays. At least for awhile. 👍
@@offroadhub.official See ya then!
11:15 whos riding their lawn mower up the mountain?
Well at least I'm not being accused of it sounding like a sewing machine anymore. 😆
You jeep people, I love it when yall drop your jaw when I take my stock 1992 f150 through there. Or when my buddy took his 95 suburban through it. And the hill climb, seen so many jeep guys back out of it and then watch me go up. I did hydrolock the engine of my bronco in mud lake though. That sucked. Went a little too fast.
Lets see the footage!🤣 NO stock truck is going up that!
@@justonpolson7690 well it did have 35s but stock suspension. I don’t have the truck anymore and now that im trying to find the videos the jeep people sent me I cant find them so if youre calling me out im going to have to buy another truck and slap 35s on it just to prove you wrong..
Driving fast in a puddle with no snorkel, its .......
