My buddy and I did Devil's and then Fix-it last week in our LX470s (UZJ100). We were on the trail for over 10 hours and did all of Fix-it in the dark! Hell of a lot of fun, but a looong day.
They certainly help! I feel that I can pretty much go anywhere with the exception of trails and obstacles meant for rock crawling buggies. Thanks for watching!!
Of course I'd love to go with others, but it's pretty hard to get people together for a run. Especially on this trail since it isn't close to anywhere. Thanks for watching!
So if you don't drive your FJ on the street much. Have you considered longer brake lines and removing the front sway bar? That trail looked really tippy. I come from a dirt bike back ground. So tippy still freaks me out. Lovin the channel. Steve from So Cal.
I have extended brake lines and no swaybar in the rear. I've had the front sway bar off before and it didn't really help off road, but it made it stupid tippy when it is on the highway. I just got a front locker, so in terms of traction and lifting wheels I'm ok now. IFS is just not "flexy" ever.
@@offroadhub.official oh. I didn't realize you had front lockers. I regeared several months ago. But I didn't get front lockers. In hindsight I wish I did. Oh well, it just takes money. Maybe after some failed obstacles I will go back a get those lockers.
One of my co-workers that was new to the desert lost his truck to a flash flood. He parked it in an aquifer ( not knowing what an aquifer was), went for a hike and came back to it sitting under water in a raging wash. Most people don’t know that a flash flood can happen even though it’s not raining on you. In his case the rain was a solid 20 miles away. Better safe than sorry.
Just watched your video today. I wasn't sure what to expect on that trail but you've made it seem doable. You said 5 hours on the trail. Is that from I-70 to the trailhead of Fix-It Pass? My map (on-X) is a little confusing. It labels the complete return trip as Devil's Race Track, including that looks like North and South Coal Washes. Did you take North Coal Wash North to South Coal Wash and then take that South back to I-70?
5 hours on Devil's Racetrack took me to a T intersection in a wash. I made a left, which took me on a long drive back to I70, via the Eva Condor trail.
ohh, another one I d like.
until 12 mins, a rough spot that is.
and the drone landscape shots ouuuhh! majestic!
good show team!
Not bad when the drive out is an additional 2 hours of scenic beauty. Another terrific video Ken.
Yeah I didn't realize how far out I was!
What great drone footage you got while in this trail. Great work
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

That's awesome! It's a really remote area!
It appears that with those ginormous tires that the fj can go anywhere you want to go.

This looked like a great trail, thanks for sharing. I really like the drone footage.
It's a great trail! And there are others nearby that look awesome.
Great vids, I’m surprised you’d go alone.

Holy cow that would be terrible! 😬
Is your rear sway bar disconnected? Or how do you get so much down travel in the rear?
I have no rear sway bar and have long travel dobinsons. Thanks for watching!

What size tires and lift do you have? Awesome video!!! Just did the trial in jeeps but one day want to take my Tacoma down it haha
I'm on 35's on this trail. It's a fun one, super remote! I was surprised...
@@offroadhub.official it is a good one huh!!! We made it out all good on 2 jeep wranglers with 31 inch tires. It was quite the trail lol
What size tires are you running?
35's
