What an insane trail!! Very impressed with your rigs, definitely not a mall crawler lol. Reminds me of when I took my rig through the second hardest trail in VT.
Crud dude! That was awesome. I’d definitely need to ride shotgun to start to learn your level of skill. Sucks you broke the truck, but man looks like you had a blast doing it!!
You're more than welcome to sometime! Co-pilots are hard to come by for me haha. Idk if it's so much as skill as it is luck and big kahoonas mixed with peer pressure.. lol
took my skidplate off at the trailhead to take my sway bar off and accidentally left my skid behind, I had to back up like a mile lol. Did the trail twice in my 07 4runner and didn't have to break out the winch the second time
Hey Colin, get you a set of TrakMotive CV axles. I found a set for my Tundra on rockauto. They're designed for higher angles of articulation, without the crazy price of RCVs. I've been running mine for about a year and I've noticed there is zero noise during flexy maneuvers now. Before I could always hear my CVs complaining like they were warning me not to over do it. Not anymore. I've been super happy with them.
Great video showing the obstacles. Bummer on the driveshaft. AEV makes a rear differential skid plate for Jeeps that protects the rear differential and the rear part of the driveshaft. Not sure if anyone makes a similar one for the Toyota vehicles. I am hoping that a manufacturer I am working with will make one for my truck as it definitely would help in these situations. That is definitely a vulnerable area.
Thanks man! And yeah unfortunately with long wheel bases it's more of a problem... Guess that means I'll just need to beef up the driveshafts I got and go to 37s!
DRL’s are only “flashing” because of frequency. The camera picks up the lights at a different frequency than our eyes. In real life, the lights are not flashing. On camera - LED’s are the worst and look to be flashing… they are not. Just on camera! David Blane made LED lights idk ;)
Got to be careful with ifs and no sway bar. Its going to be very hard to keep a toyota with tires like that and carrying much weight together flexing. I would rather have less flex and tear up less.
@@p.a.f.offroad7551 oh 100%… I thought you were referring to the driveshaft obstacle and I’m thinking “bro, that IS the only line”. Yeah the CV was simply a lack of paying attention thinking I’d made it out, and I got myself in a weird spot that put too much stress on the CV. 100% avoidable, especially had I heard my spotter saying “DONT GO BACK”
@Bugout_Overland ya the first time I did that trail I took out and axle shaft where you were hard on your drive shaft. Lack of paying attention will get you every time lol

Thanks friend I appreciate that! Definitely a fun trail!
Nice video. I live in Covington Va. I own a local welding shop if you need repairs!
That's awesome to know, thanks man!
SR5 in the house! Dayum!
He pushes that SR5 to its limits!!!
Props to both of y’all! Great video!
Awesome looking rigs! Diggin that wrap on the taco!
Thanks man, means a lot! Hopefully the wrap will last me, but at this rate I'm not too sure!
I did this trail a little over a year ago and loved it! It’s definitely harder than what the video makes it out to be.
@@TrailExpedition 100%! A lot of footage had to be “trimmed” lol
@ right. I kept my video just a tad over 20 minutes. I skipped the last major obstacle as I ran it solo. Great trail.

Good video! I need to get out there and complete this trail. I’m assuming you both have a rear locker at minimum, how about a front locker?
The 4R has a rear ARB locker. Nothing up front and A-Trac was offline due to wheel speed sensor error :(

That sounds like a PITA lol
This is exactly why I stopped recreational wheeling in jeeps/trucks and got a RZR for that stuff.
Now that looks like a fun trail, but damn it looks cold out there!
Cold as a witches teet in a brass bra 💀

I've actually been looking into CVJ as well, but I'll look in to those too, and maybe keep the other ones I have as spares!
Good video 👍 👍😃
Thank you my friend!

@@Bugout_Overland Sounds like a good plan. Hopefully you can fit the 37s.
Wow... you just carry an extra left and right CV joint with you on trails?
No sir, I carry two spare CVs with me normally🤣 Better to be safe than sorry!
Thats a pretty flamboyant scream coming from that taco
@@Yippynutsmacker It was the spicy sweet tea….. 🤠
you remove your front swaybar? some nice articulation going on!
Thanks my friend! And yessir sway bar is gone, but took me long enough to finally make the decision to remove it!
Nice rigs and looks like a fun trail! But why are the 4Runner’s DRLs flashing?
All the new LED headlights do it unfortunately while filming. You can’t see it with your naked eye. Mine does the same. 😐

@@samuelwatts225 the scenario that you’re describing is different. The leds flicker a lot faster than in this video.
Not necessarily, just depends on the frequency / frame rate. His lights dont do this in person.

That was the definition of a terrible line choice at that spot. Seen plenty of guys do the same thing.
@@p.a.f.offroad7551 There were a lot of “spots”… which one are you referring to specifically?
@Bugout_Overland where you broke your cv lol.
I can't say anything tho. I've broken axles on that trail too lol. Always a great time on potts.
