Rubicon Trail // New Engine Trial Run
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Check out my footage from the Rubicon Trail, this trip was in June of 2023. The snow was deep this year, and the trail was virtually empty still! 2 FJ Cruisers, 1 new engine, 1 dog, and 3 adventurers had the time of their lives!

Missed your videos Ken, nothing stops your FJ
Holy cow! I’ve missed seeing you beat and cut your FJ up! Good to see you back! I have a perfectly built FJ, in my opinion, and I would be terrified to have it around you, I’d worry you’d want to cut in pieces🤷🏻♂️ I learned a lot watching your FJ videos the past years. Great to see you in good shape! 👍🏻💪🏻 keep it up!

So jeeps never brake a axle ?
@VideosOffRoad
Ай бұрын
@@Coolhansolo LOL! Sure, Jeeps break axles, but far less often than IFS systems break. Criminy, this guy brought TWO spares because he was EXPECTING to break. But generally a SFA system is much stronger than an IFS system. SFA also doesn't need alignments as often. Where IFS is more comfortable on-road, SFA is stronger off-road. That's the trade-off. Why do you think the Off Road Hub FJ Cruiser switched to a SFA? Because it's stronger and more suited for off road driving. That's all I'm saying. I went with the stronger and more durable choice to significantly reduce the likelihood of breaking on the trail and blocking it while repairs are being done.

@VideosOffRoad Yes solid axle can be strong but not every ifs is created equal. I run a full size truck and have been to moab several times and over 100 trails in Colorado no issues. You got to hit obstacles straight on where the shafts are the strongest. Go slow and crawl the obstacles too. I don't see very many ton swaps around here at all in the trails maybe the malls. Don't forget RCV shafts are CV axles and are supposed to be the strongest..
