Why drive a nice vehicle into water with an unknown depth? I'm just curious because it seems to be comman practice.Does the vehicle interior flood when driving through deep water? Are the cars electronics affected?
They have an off road active traction control (called A-TRAC) that would have had both wheels spinning together. It only works in low range, but you have to turn it on for it to work lol. Had he been using it, there wouldn't have been so much unnecessary wheel spin which, along with his heavy foot, got himself stuck...
@@theninja9563 I think most all of the 4x4's came with the rear locker, it can be used with ATRAC or just one or the other by itself. ATRAC will send the power to the wheels on each axle with the most traction, both front and rear, or just on the front wheels if the rear locker is engaged. I don't know if the 2007-09 models are able to use both at the same time, I know the 2010-14's can. And ATRAC is supposedly already programed into every 4x4 model too, it's just a matter of buying the $50 switch from Toyota and plugging it in if the switch isn't installed. A lot of people have also installed aftermarket front lockers in theirs too, but in low traction situations the ATRAC system can appear to work like a front locker from an observing standpoint if used correctly. I think that's why so many people think they have front and rear lockers. Do you have an FJ too? I'm just curious if you have one of the earlier (07-09) models and how it all works together on those.
The problem is that the water depth was excessive, the vehicle floated and the tires lost their grip on the ground. If you stopped accelerating, it could cause a hydraulic shim in the engine.
@@andrecruiser885 Resale on the Wrangler is pretty darn high... but reliability, well, depends if you're looking for excuses to "upgrade" stuff, then the Wrangler is also pretty good ;-)
"Single owner, lady driven, never been offroad, asking $30,000" - every fj owner
Yes of course...... jajajajajaja
Just been valeted carpets still damp 😜🇬🇧
you forgot the - "I know what I GOT!!"
Nice watching from the Philippines
i enjoy watching vids like this but i'd never take my fj in deep water unless there is an emergency (escaping from cops probably?)
So sad to see
You have very good friends.
My fj is currently turned white from the road Salt. It used to be yellow lmao
FJ ROCKS!!
+
Very cool car! 😍👍
very hardcore offroad!!
Don't think I would have stood next to that tow line.
if very dangerous
Did you see the way he ran into the water? 🤣
HOLY CRAP!
Where’s bubbles? There he goes just gunnin it like an idiot burning the engine out of her.
I got a pic of a sxs that a 2.5 ton could not pull out there from the beginning of the year
Whiskey throttle habits don't help with traction issues.
✌️👍
1) that is not how you enter a water crossing. 2) that is most definitely NOT how you winch.

Its what they are made for man. If you buy an FJ to not offroad it you are a cuck
Troll
The video got me really confused as to what happened vs what was supposed to happen.
he would have been fine, and not have made as many ruts during the recovery if he just used atrac.
every minute counts......THANKS
@@JccAtvOffRoad every minute before you hydro-lock your motor? yup sure does.
соо|❤
That's an FJ Cruiser.should have just cruised it ways through the water 😜😜😜
Awesome। Car
If you're gonna come to my neighborhood bring something that isn't open diff!!!
what size tire and lift?????
The lift is a 2-3in if it has one. Looks like 31in-33in tires.
Thought FJs had front lockers? Watching the 1 wheel spin, not engaged?

@@chainlink4241 They come with rear lockers from factory. Many do at least

@@chainlink4241 Some did not that's why I said many do. Even the 2WD models have rear lockers. I have a 2007 with everything. Plus my own mods
That is the most dangerous place to stand when winching! Tell everyone to get away, sit inside the car with the bonnet up before you start winching!
It looked like synthetic winch line, way safer than wire !
@@AJ-qn6gd still dangerous. Only difference is it sends you to the hospital instead of a casket
@@SoFloJeeping safer but not safe, no reason to treat it any different 👍🏻🇬🇧
That was DUMB
Does that mean this car is not durable
The FJ Cruiser is extremely reliable and durable
why does it sound like a ricer? also get some goggles to match the snorkel lol

if too much water and deep
It's ugly car. No macth on the Jeep Rubicon.
Except for reliability and resale value .
@@andrecruiser885 Exactly ..spot on
It’s badass as is a Jeep . Hater
Jaja, jeep lover looking for Fj Cruisers videos....
