In this one I start the day with several FJ Cruisers and a Jeep, then I break my steering again... But that didn't end the day, and I was able to defeat one of Tahuya's largest obstacles before the day was over. And I believe my steering problems are finally resolved...
Ahhh yes. March, the times of Tahyua soup. I have so many memories and hours logged at that place on a dirt bike. Great job! That place breaks many a vehicle.
You are super organised a such repair on the field is really good! Awesome video and patterns, thanks for sharing!
Being prepared is awesome!
That little 2dr Jeep was awesome!!!
2 doors are so short!
I love how humble you are with your viewers and fans. Thank you sir
I'm just a guy with a Gopro. 😄
Nice playground looks like a blast. Happy trails
Looks like they've rearranged the rocks on Sasquatch. We watched 2 vehicles break their driveshafts on it last summer. You did a great job!
Yes it's been recently renovated I think.
I had a friend brake his high steer arms off his knuckle. Turns out he needed to adjust the stops on his ram as it was turning too far one way. Not sure if this is in any way helpful, but might be something to double check if the issue continues. The PNW is pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Great video again keep them coming best of luck
Good thing most Toyotas never leave the off road park. It makes them easier to recover when they break.
I grew up in Belfair and lived on Wooten Lake a few miles away from Tahuya trails. Even before they were actually trails lol. I might have made some of those trails. We are talking almost 30 years ago those trails got ate up buy 44 inch tires lol. I used to run dad's sandrail through them too. Dirt bikes and I had a big Toyota truck like I do now. I'll be going there this summer after I get my Dana 70 in the rear of my 93 4 Runner. I haven't been on those trails for 20 years I think. I'll tell my Land Cruiser buds about your channel.
It's a pretty fun place!
Another great day in the PNW, the breakage was a set back but luckily you got it fixed quickly. Looking forward to the next video, Ken. Cheers
Awesome video, nice job! Those man made trails west of Ellensburg are parts eaters. Lol..
These slippery boulders are hard on things for sure!
Behold the mighty FJ CRUISER
That arm looks like it puts so much leverage on those welds I can't imagine it ever holding up.
It's a common design. There's also a 1 inch bolt holding them on.
Some awesome adventure mate ....Keep on cracking these welds soon you will get all super strong :) \-/
I think that was this time! 😄
Always happy!
Awesome video, just got to work and had to stop and watch !
I'm glad I could distract you at work! 😄👍
Hell ya dude! I think this makes you the second FJ uo Sasquatch ever 😅
I was telling the others they could totally make it up the right side! 😀
Good to see the Jeep leading the way on the Toyota channel
This is not a Toyota channel. 😉👍
@@offroadhub.official sorry i thought you owned and drove a Toyota
@@bcy4665 I do! But I don't consider this a "Toyota channel." I like to feature all kinds of vehicles. 👍
Wish I was there. Looks like you’re having a ton of fun. I’m gonna suggest you have a design failure with your knuckle having busted twice. It looks welded top and bottom. You’d gain a whole bunch (like several times) if you could box it in. Vertical welds to the knuckle w plate connecting top and bottom steering brackets.
It's a popular design. I think the first time was from my initial welding being insufficient. The second time was because the trail welder was insufficient for a permanent fix.
Wish I could have met up with you, but didn’t have time. Headed to Tahuya with buddies this weekend though. Will be fun to check out the recently reopened south loop!
The south loop is a fun drive, lots of suspension work. 😉
Make sure you’re heating the knuckle up when you weld the high steer arms on. The cast knuckle doesn’t take well to the weld if it’s not hot beforehand. You can put them on the grill or in an oven
I used an oven when I first put them on. We'll see how it goes.
Fj is a beast 😎
A tough day wheelin' is far better than a great day at work.
Absolutely!
You can have all that north west 4 wheel'n. The obstacles are hard enough, then you get them all wet... no thanks LOL
These slippery boulders are a real challenge!
Reid knuckles!!!
I'm running solid brand knuckles on my dana 60 with their keyed high steer arms maybe you should look into something like that if you have more problems but I think you might be fine with a good hot weld now from a normal machine hopefully.
I'm hoping so!
@@offroadhub.official it seems like that's a pretty popular setup that your currently running. I'm not super familiar with welding but maybe if it breaks again maybe you should seek out someone and have it done with a stick welder? I have a 220 stick welder but I hate the damn thing im not talented enough so I stick to my mig machine, but I know with stick welding and the proper rod and heat you can make extremely strong welds on very thick material. Your using your rig for the purpose you built it too, a lot of people don't use theirs to the extent that they could everyone's situation is different. I'd say if there's another breakage and you want to stay with your current setup you should seek out someone with a stick welder who's knowledgeable. Maybe someone can chime in about tig but I've always understood stick or arc as it's formally called is the strongest type of welding and you get the best penetration on thick material. Maybe even when you get home look into it as a preventative measure? It's really cool to see you wheeling in my area I hope next time I'll have my jeep done so we can meet up you seem like a very nice person to be around.
Curious about your straps.... looks like you strap to the frame etc as the truck is bouncing around the straps loosen and tighten, i realize you have closed hooks so they cant come off, but you should definitely being strapping down from the axles and tire strap nets...
Thanks for the advice. I need to get some new anchor points on my trailer.
I was noticing those trails in the offload park seem contrived. There doesn't seem to be rocks in the woods but there are piles of boulders here and there but only on the trails. Looks like they were brought in via dump truck.
No, it’s just all the rain really makes the rock gardens grow 🙄
You are correct. The rock gardens are completely man made.
@@offroadhub.official Washington State: Welcome 4 wheelers! We dumped a bunch of rocks here so you can break your rigs! Have fun. 😄🚙
@@celticsfaninthedesert4778 It's fake. Like indoor "rock climbing".
@@PeteHemdem 😂 I get what you're saying... But, it is beautiful territory to drive through!
Ever gonna run The Busywild again lol??? I'll go run it with ya!
I just ran it last Saturday! Video coming soon!
The ups and downs of rock gardening as Ken explores another NW area so greatness. What is Ken’s favorite snack on those down moments?
My favorite snack? 😄 I'm not much of a snacker actually.
@@offroadhub.official welding is your treat of choice! LOL
I tried giving him a Cliff bar once…no dice!
@@DUNEATV 😂 if it had been a Klondike bar...
Air down!!
I only air down when I'm snow wheeling. 😉
What coilovers do you run on your Toyota?
King 12" fronts and Radflo 14" rear. 👍
How many psi are you running?
About 8
