- In this one I again join with Brian, a subscriber, and explore the Crapshoot Trail in the Table Mesa area of Arizona! This trail has some crazy climbs and drops and really put my nerve to the test in a couple spots.

I appreciate that you don't add music. Love to hear the engines, tires, rocks, etc. Great videos!
Thank you!
These are great videos. You show the trails really well - great editing, not too much talking. Helps identify which trails are realistic for skill level. Thanks for your efforts.
Thank you! It's my goal to accurately portray what trails are actually like.
@@offroadhub.official was he in 1st low coming down that hill/step.?.10:18.. or they got bad gearing. ?. you do not want to slide down any hill. id be at 14 psi.. shail rock. 10 sand. 18 normal hard stuff. 2002 f250 6 cyl tdi. mwm,700 nm. 35,s. 4.11 diffs,std,. zf 5sp. 2 mph in low..
nice trail ...love the trail striping on Brian's BlackCherry
Thanks! I love my Arizona pinstripes 💪🏽 I’m sending it 97% of the time
Another great video, that hill was crazy
Wow. Your videos are super impressive. To think this is a 1 man show. You're driving, doing camera placement, flying drones AND DRIVING all at the same time! Great channel.
Thank you! It is a lot is work out there! Thank you for watching.
Go go FJ Cruiser! Love the mix of FJ on the channel.

I LOVE IT ! Keep Going Brother
That was hella steep, glad you two kept thr shiny side up
Me too! That's my one rule... don't roll. 😄
Yes sir-eeee
@@offroadhub.official i think those fj,s need a low range,like the old f100,or my super duty. 6 cyl 4.2 tdi. brazilian.. zf 5 sp. 4.11,35.s. first low is stupid..a manual is safer down hill than auto,no brake with auto. runs away.. never,,ever touch the brake down hill,you die. with auto,you have to accelerate & brake at same time,to keep the torque converter working. dangerous,but nesasery some times.
Manuel trans is the way to go!!!🎖️
Thank you! Keep 'em coming!
I'll do my best! 😀👍🏻
Did that in my JLUR. Great little trail.
That hill looks really steep. Great job Ken!!
Thanks for watching!
Well, now I don't feel so bad when you and I started the Smiley Rock trail and I was in 4high. Great video Ken. One quick note I've shown your Busy Wild video to a bunch a friends they love it. Many own Jeeps and couldn't believe an FJ could do what you do with it.
I can't believe what I did on Busywild either... 😆 Thank you for sharing the video! Getting that bumper installed soon?
@@offroadhub.official No unfortunately I haven't. I've been waiting on expedition one to send me the windshield wiper reservoir. They're waiting on the brackets that are being power coated. Ordered the shocks as well and those are also delayed. Patience is a virtue!
Great video
Thank you!
I Love IT ! nTY Sir
I can't believe that I have never done this trail before. Now I need to plan a trip up there to do it. Awesome video!!
It's a pretty fun one! If you don't live far from it definitely check it out!
@@offroadhub.official I live in Tucson now, but my next trip up to Phoenix will be to run this trail.
@@toddhoffmaster6057 I’m down to run it again lemme know 👍🏽
Ran the trail a couple of times. Fall of 19 the Grand Cherokee was just stuck, but was blocking the trail a little so had to go around it. Looks like someone or a number of folks decided to "move" it a little more out of the way. It was actually coming from the backside though so it did not even make it to the hill.
Ahh interesting! Thanks for the backstory!
One of my favorite trails, and very close to home so I run it a lot. I surprised you didn't mention the sharp right you need to take at the top of the big hill, were you can't see where the road is. Even though I know where it is, I still pucker up every time I get there.
That was a fun trail. And I do remember the blind turn at the top!
Just subscribed. Great channel.
Thank you!
Nice wheel time guys! I would love to join you one day.
Are you in Arizona?
@@sonoranrocktrucks4172 yes
Please give GPS coordinates for the trailheads. Love your videos.
Just got my new front axles yesterday. They are from RCV. Stupid expensive but they promise me they will not brake. They say these are as strong as a Dana 60. Time to pull some Axels. Fun time.
That's awesome! Yeah you probably won't break those!
Another great one ! The real question is, was Brian brave enough to run a third one with you?
Sure enjoy the contrast between your build and Brian’s. Lucious is outrunning both of you and he is totally stock!
Enjoy, Happy 21 !
Lucious is totally stock! 😆😆
I guess you might have to tune in and see ...😂 Lucius knows the route better than us!
Got a new front tube bumper. looks great on the FJ. Less weight I bet. What make is it? I gotta do this trail now. HAHA.
This bumper is made by Metaltech. It's really great! Check out the install video!

This trail seems pretty easy compared to lower terminator which I did this weekend just north of this trail.
Indeed. I've been back and did both Terminators, very fun.
plenty of jeep jokes to be made at 12:50 thanks for refraining 😜😂
Never forgot to shift to 4x4. But once I forgot to air down my dirt bike, and wondered why I couldn't stay upright. Airing down is even a bigger deal on a bike.
I know you aren't much of a "Mud" fan... But I know these FJ's are very Mudhole capable.... MORE MUD!!!!!!
I've got a couple good mud videos. Busywild and June Creek were pretty muddy... 😄 Thanks for watching!
It happened to me once, my Raptor bogged in the sand in a beach in Saudi Arabia, and I spent around half an hour digging and removing sand around the tires. Until I realised that my car was not on 4 WD, 😅😅😅
Oh wow! 😄 We all do silly things once in awhile!
Great video! Do you remember if you went clockwise or counterclockwise on this trail?
I THINK We went counter, but I'm not positive.
Looks like a great trail for these FJ's ....Cheers .....what tires does the red FJ runs ?.....air down?
Brian is running 285 70 17's, Nittos as I recall. I was aired diwn to 15psi, Brian was as well I think. Thanks for watching!
Red FJ is running nitto ridge grapplers 285’s on 15 psi
Lol, I wonder how long that ZJ was laying there...
It's hard to tell in that dry environment. It could have been a week or 2 years... 😄
Quick question on that steep downhill with the dropoff could you have went hard driver to take an easier line down? Thxs...
No. It was to steep to safely turn, and you have to drop straight or you'll roll for sure.
Any word on the upside down Cherokee? Didn't look too bad !!! And, where exactly is the horn button that there are so many inadvertent toots?
I'm not sure how the Cherokee ended up there, but it had been there awhile. The horn on the FJ can be triggered by the entire center section of the steering wheel, so it's pretty easy to accidently toot! 😄
it looks like that Jeep was trying to climb the hill possibly
Oh yeah I have no idea how that happened. 😄
Great video. Looks like a cool trail. Do you have a DJI drone?
Thank you! It's a great trail, and lots of fun trails in the area. I use a DJI Mavic Air 2, which has been great.
@@offroadhub.official it looks very cool. I’m itching bad to wheel! I hate the winter. Been thinking about a trip down somewhere where it is warmer for some good wheeling.
I’m looking at the drone you have or the Skydio but I don’t know what to do. Any issues with yours? Does it track you pretty well?
I'm about to head down to New Mexico and Texas for some warmer wheeling! I should know dates soon if you want to join.
The Mavic Air 2 hasn't had a single problem. It tracks very well. I don't have any complaints about it.
@@offroadhub.official thanks for the info. Where are you going in NM??? The only trails we’ve hit there are in Red River and we used to live in Farmington but those trails are pretty intense there. Not sure how much snow Red River has. My buddy went to the Chili Challenge a couple years ago and said it was cool. Let me see what’s going on. Can’t go this weekend 😭
@@Colorado4x4 I'm looking at the Chile Challenge trails and the trails down by Soccoro. Probably around January 18-24.
What kind of work do you do that allows you this freedom?
This work is in pursuit of greater freedom. Years of teamwork with my wife has led to this point.
@@offroadhub.official That’s awesome man. I love the videos and it’s actually inspired me to get an FJ of my own. Gonna go grab one in about a week!
@@quentonsmith6085 that's awesome! Send me pictures at offroadhub.official@gmail.com
Min. 10:25...
Q. Are you in first gear?
A. Yeah, 1st / 4Hi !
I'm sure he was in 4 low. But like I mention, he is driving a manual, so coming to a stop to control the descent is much more difficult. We had a good time! 😄 Thanks for watching!
well that jeep will, be stripped down in the next couple of days ...after people view this. haha you can count on it.
There were already a few things missing... I don't think anyone is coming back for it.
