- La Grange off road in Ca. This FJ tries to sees that noboby can make it up this muddy hill so he decides to give it a try. On his final attempt, he backs up as far as he can and drops the pedal....resulting in damage you have to see to believe.

Was this recorded in the 80's or during the civil war? I can't tell at different parts of this clip.
Well, this is the time when you wash it up and take it to the dealership and say, "i don't know what happened".
hahaha made me laugh so hard at your comment
There's nothing smart or bad ass about breaking your equipment.

jumper2079 if you never break anything or get stuck, you never know what the limitations are.
The early F J’s had a rear differential susceptible to failure. It went to an 8.2 in 2010. That year through 2014 model in US had very few problems. I just bought a ‘12 w/168,500 miles on it. I love it already.
He broke a front drive shaft axle. That's why the gear oil is leaking. Also bent the heck out of those ridiculous faux rock rails. The FJ is a very capable vehicle but is not made for this application. It would take thousands of dollars worth of modifications to configure an FJ for this type of thing. BTW notice the thousands of dollars worth of mods on the jeeps in this vid. Jeep wasn't designed for this type of thing either right out of the box.
the gearbox is leaking not the axle.
Don Newman do you know what your talking about. drive shaft axle?
+Jeep Porter ah yes those darn driveshaft axles. Lol. looked like a cracked transfer case. Gear oil doesn't drip like that it oozes. But anyway I'll bet it was the driveshaft axle. And as far as thousands in the chopped up samuri. I'll bet he might have $1000 in it between the truck and gas.
The differential broke because the front tires left the ground and when they touched down they meet resistance and a shock went threw the drive train. If he had let off the gas when the tires had left the ground it would have been fine, although that's easier said then done. Skid plates or lack there of had nothing to do with it.
yes the drive train is from a prado. Not PRO. take a 80 series and notting breake. I sell toyota land cruiser in europe. Email me at landcruiserhzj74@gmail.com almost al diesels, 40, 60, 70 ,80, and 100 series i buy. the real stuff, but evry time more and more difficult to find.

What are you talking about. Landcruisers are always breaking down. The 80 series tear through shafts with moderate offroading with their full time AWD, they blow 5th gear when towing light loads, stock motors can't take boost. Even the 200 series are snapping auto transmission on corrugated roads..
Nissan Patrols are tough, Toyota Landcruisers are for highway driving and grocery shopping..

Toyota engines are excellent (perhaps Yamaha should receive the praise for playing a huge part in Toyota engine design) but their gearboxes are weak, their CV shafts - weak and differentials are weak, chassis are weaker and tear in unusual places no other manufacturer has seen and the Hilux IFS has been torn right off quite a few times..
Nissan all the way to the beginning of 2000 made more bulletproof over engineered vehicles. They're the real unrecognized achievers..
Nissan has it all over Toyota in performance and 4x4 ruggedness. Toyota is fuel efficient and confortable..
Consumer reports you posted are isolated to demographics and not many people do the surveys. The US never received any "real" Nissan that Australia and New Zealand recieved..
Toyota put the Torsen T-3 center diff in these rigs which means they didn't engineer them, they bought them and it broke because he landed right on it. Over engineered by Torsen or not, it's not going to take 4000lbs coming down on it.
the 80 is strong, after 200.000km you need to change the front homokineets. at 200.000km youre nissan engine is broke.... And yamaha had nothing to do with making toyota diesel engines, its Hino.
I'm a Jeep fan and owner, but I've gotta give this guy props for both his ride and his determination to kill that hill. Too bad he broke his Toy though.....
Hi i'm a H3 owner and after watching this vid i'm glad that you showed everyone that you don't mess around 5* to you but you're comment surprised me that the dealer did not let the warranty cover that damage it gets expensive like that .. i push my H3 to the limit and beyond and i broken a lot of stuff like 3x front diff - 4x transfer case - 2x rear diff and just gut new transmission all by 60k miles and i did not spent a red cent for any repairs. SOO WOW i feel you're pain!!
If at first you don't succeed hit it with some speed!
Tough hill. Props to the FJ.
We all enjoy off roading, but it's not worth tearing up your rig if it's a daily driver. Now a toy is a different thing. If it's a toy, by all means- "go ball deep in it"!!
FJ's have their place but Yesterday we recovered an FJ Cruiser that went over the edge of a 60 foot cliff into a riverbed. It would have been impossible to recover without our Jeeps. the width of the trail plus the weight and location of the lost rig would have made it damn near impossible to do the job with any other vehicle. long live Jeep. 93' YJ wrangler 4 inch lift + 33'' tires, stock 4.0L.
Well, that was certainly worth a few thousand bucks.
Weight, hp, and tires.. But still, good for him. It was impressive.. Those valves were floating so hard I thought it was gonna make the FJ fly..
When you spin like crazy in the air and stop suddenly from a jump or wheel hop, things break. Doesnt matter what brand you own, if you push it to the limits it will break.
To quote Tanner Faust "well, we will just leave the reliable one on the side of the road broke down".
The rock crawlers didn't make it because they have no weight over the rear wheels so they just spin.
a good percentage of rock crawling rigs have 7000+ stall torgue converters to aide in keeping the axles and transmissions in one piece...in other words 7000 rpms from a crawlers motor is about 2000 with a regulars trans
Gotcha, thanks for the response!
The FJ may have out climbed the rock-crawlers, but they were still running at the end of the day.
A lift may get you over some stuff, but you still need proper armor - that bent up OEM step rail is a clue. The first mod for my XTerra was rock sliders, next is a full set of skids, then comes suspension to handle the added weight of the armored bumpers that are to follow.
No amount of lift would have prevented the bottoming at the crest of that hill.
uuuuuhhhhh broken truck, still didn't make it over, this is a bad ass FJ why???
because it isn't specially built for strict offroading like the other, yet it got much farther. The only reason it was leaking transmission fluid was because the FJ didn't land on it's wheels, it landed on the undercarrige.
+North Odell I don't think it was tranny fluid. Looked like gear oil coming out of the transfer case. Probably ruptured the seal between the transfer case and transmission.
+North Odell FJ's were built as Toyotas offroad SUV to try and compete with the Wrangler. It was built for offroad, it was just a fail for offroad.
Reason being it only lasted 7 years before being discontinued.
The ONLY reason and I mean literally the ONLY reason he made it further is because he got a running start.
Notice the crawlers were doing what they were made for.... crawling. Not getting a running start and breaking shit.
Wranglers LOL......40k and already burning oil.......rated ubiquitously as one of the least reliable vehicles on the road...and this is after 40+ years of production LOL!!!! No thanks, I'll stick with Toyota.
+spydergs07 actually they still make fj's everywhere else in the world only not in the US due to the epa and toyota having to cut some lines to fit in the new guid lines. also look like it probably broke when the front in bounced off the ground not really the trucks fault. Also I have taken my stock fj many places the guys in keeps couldn't believe yes the ifs has limiting factors but a good driver\spotter can more than make up for it.
some also think the name came from GP, or general purpose.
Either way, Bantam got to make trailers for a few years, and then go out of business, and people still give the credit to the modern day company "jeep" which has nothing to do with it.
Ouch man! Nice to see what my FJ could do! (if I was brave enough to try it, i love these FJ videos) Just hate to see your broken FJ and all the expense it took ya.....
it's amazing what a good set of tires will do.
That has to be a tough choice going between a 4runner and an FJ. Both are great vehicles, what were your deciding factors?
I'd just like to add this now, yes, the FJ made is farther up the hill than the rock crawlers. But i would also like to add that note the amount of speed the FJ had going up, so much that he nearly ramped it. The rock CRAWLERS just slowly crawled up it, which, in low traction situations like this just doesn't work, you need the momentum.
Nothing prettier than taking a brand new truck out, getting it all muddy, and beating the crap out of it off road!
@muddypowerwagon It is a Ford GPW. Same as an MB only built by Ford per the "request" of the US Gov. in the 1940's to help Willys keep up with the demand
did the same thing in a k5 blazer broke stub shaft in front axle.
capability index very high - greatnessss
Badass vehicles don't break going uphill carrying their own weight.
It didn't break going up hill, it broke coming down on its front end with the force of almost the entire vehicle. Plus, the front tires were still spinning. That's a recipe for breaking something in any stock drivetrain.
@Balowin yeah, but that includes the purchase and build cost of the vehicle, which is a one time expense. If you spent $1000 on a computer (required for youtube), it doesn't mean it costs $1000 to watch youtube videos..
When I said government I meant ours,but in between WW2 and the korean war toyota did reverse engineer the captured jeep. There copy was called AK10 but it didn't take off well.Under license toyota was contracted to build jeep since japan is much closer to korea than toledo,ohio.Maybe i was misunderstood
being at the distance of the camera it looks like the tires on the crawler don't have much tread but i could be wrong.
my FJ cruiser passes jeeps a lot, and I
have alot of confidence in my trail team .
@SuperRobot7 Thanks, your concern has been noted. Maybe I'll use all that FJ's leaking ATF to wash it out.
how did you download from your VCR!
install any skid plates after this?
WOAH, BADASS DUDE, MAN BRO!!!
Yup, he made it further up the hill but, iI bet the rock crawlers made it home that night too. lol
@Balowin It's only expensive if you're paying someone else to do the repairs. i wheel like crazy on a very tight budget.. my biggest expense is fuel (all the good wheelin' spots are a couple hours drive away)
does the skid plate help
Where is The Leakage come From ???
Is it from the gear box or what???
Poor lil fella gave it his all.
@FrogJeep420 I dont have a cherokee, I have a wrangler. A TJ. And jumps are sweet but I didn't buy it to pre-run, I bought it to crawl, climb and explore the wilderness. It's no surprise jeeps don't want to follow you on jumps though. Your indy suspension handles that much better than solid axles. But if I want to go off a jump, I'll go with my buddy in his truck with a long travel kit, dual rate king coilovers, 37's and a supercharger. Wranglers and cherokees are not designed for jumping.
Im glad that I could pass on some info to ya!!! Thanks for checking out some of my videos too!
I'm just curious how expensive that repair was! Ouch! I'll keep my FJ on the road (and drive through whatever snow piles the plows can throw at me!)
He had weight on his side. The extra 1000lbs over those other rigs helps with traction.
Also not that it has any bearing of importance, but the white crawler is a Suzuki, the other appears to be a Jeep TJ buggy. Would like to see what it can/would do as it makes a lot more power/torque. The Samurai was bogged way down, being underpowered sucks.
The cracked transfer case was not a mechanical failure, just the driver failing to protect the underside with a steel skid plate. Not the fault of an FJ Cruiser engineering.. The buggies have steel tubing for protection. Also, an FJ or 4th gen 4runner costs ~$10,000. Those dune buggies cost over $35,000 lol and they are not road legal, nor fun to sit inside ( mosquitoes, mud, no A/C, no heater, etc) and are a different class of vehicle. The transmission coolers on those buggies are like 50x the size of any Jeep/Toyota truck. The fact that a street car can do as much as a dune buggy is pretty cool. You just have to protect it with steel bumpers/skid plates/roll cage if you want to do the same dune buggy activities. Obviously.
I suggest another title: " FJ Cruiser destroyed trying to out climb rock-crawlers."
Hey, what wheels are those on the FJ?
awesome job dude that is to funny that u beat those rockcrawlers just shows the power of toyotas fj, im bout to get one myself........srry bout ur front it or ur transfer case :(
This is why I own an FJ.
Transfer case, ouch. These are what you call very expensive "forced upgrades".
The FJ was made for the Middle East originally, they needed something that could suffer greatly over long periods of time and keep going...Toyota just brought it back along with everyone else doing retro models, the fact of the matter is that you get more bang for your buck in the FJ Cruisers, they're made to handle some fun terrain right off the lot and with a few aftermarket parts it's capabilities sky rocket...I really don't get why anyone cries about this comparison deal
needs skid plates. thats the first upgrade im doing to my fj is skid plates
It's dirt not a rock. Momentum vs. Weight. And yes the IFS does blowout often. Common site on rock trails. Do the solid axle conversion for anything more extreme than this anthill.
Surprised none made it up. looked like the first guy was in too low of a gear and therefore couldn't carry enough momentum. Thats transfer case fluid leaking out of the FJ. Despite the skid plate. From mountain biking and off-road driving you find out that momentum is the key. The FJ driver had the right idea and the most balls but he paid a price. FJs are nice but I'll stick to my Jeep TJ. Both excellent off road is properly set up.
Dude, that actually makes me appreciate the FJ a little bit more seeing that kind of performance. It sucks at the end though, did you puncture your diff? And don't you have skid plates? That was soft dirt not even rocks I don't get how it did that? Respect though!
I've actually just watched about a dozen of these videos and haven't seen anything broken.
The videos you're referenceing to must have been found under the search of "jeeps breaking."
correct, it was captured in the phillipines which was japanese occupied,Ididn't mean it was captured in japan.
Key word...."ROCK"
@nationalcitysycho FJ is the fuel code. It used to be the Toyota Jeep BJ when the US government wanted it to replace Willy's Jeep during the Korean war, BJ is the fuel code for diesel. If you were to look at an FJ40 it looks almost identical to an old Jeep, because once again, it replaced Jeep in the Korean war...Jeeps are such cliche 4x4 anyways, there great rides though...I just find it funny that every FJ vid on TH-cam will have a ton of FJ bashing, as if Jeepers feel threatened by the comp.
Hey man, i tried to climb a clift flooring the gas poedal and my gears broke! What's wrong with this car?
The concept car was named the BRC.
I had an 01 Cherokee with 4.5inch short arm left. I have done things like this many times and never had anything break, although my steering would un-align often due to my crappy tie rods. I don't think this should have broken that easily.
+Thomas Michael when 2 tons of truck slams down onto an aluminum housing, aluminum will break.
The vehicle bantam designed was called bantam reconnaissance car or BRC. The government gave the contract to willys and ford because bantam could not meet the criteria of producing 75 vehicles per day.Jeep was actually used as a slang word for new and unproven vehicles as far back as world war 1 according to an issue of US ARMY MAGAZINE article written by major E.P HOGAN in 1941. Soldiers testing the bantam car called this go anywhere vehicle" jeep" after popeye's go anywhere do anything friend
what is the liquid???
he bent the step bars... never seen that before
i was going to say you can drive the FJ home with it being road legal but i dont think that FJ was going anywhere lol
I heard someone saying FJ stands for Fuck Jeep, I don't believe it. But the FJ is one hell of a car for sure
Why would you even attempt this with no underbody protection?
Mission accomplished
This video should be renamed, "FJ Cruiser out climbs Jeeps"!!!
Loks Like the transfer case I think. I'm no mechanic but i think that's what's leaking.
That Zuks should have tried to climb it in high range. I bet it would have made it.
Where exactly did it outclimb them? It took running starts and never made it.
Dont get me wrong, it was impressive as hell for what looks to be basically stock (if not totally stock, I dont know) but I wouldnt call that out climbing them.
he landed on the case and split it must not have any guards on the transfer
Well .He made it further anyone else you see
Leave it to the FJ to try and take down a hill and a fence
@FrogJeep420 I don't hate, really. The FJ is a sweet truck. And I'm not sure what you are talking about with that last thing you said. And some stock guys might be scared to follow you on the trail, yeah. Fact remains, though, that with 35" tires and 6" of lift, etc... I can follow a full body rig like an xterra, FJ, land rover... pretty much anywhere. Just because after the size of an obstacle gets to a certain point, your stock angles (approach, departure, etc.) start to really hurt you.
Haha...I love when people do all these mods to their vehicles and beat the crap out of them and don't even know how to fix it themselves when things break. I bet the dealership loves having you as a customer.
ya man, they are made esspecially for off roading
Type in ford gpw on google search. I've owned two of them. They are typically called a "script" jeep because ford marked almost all there parts with "F" stamps.
I think it came down hard on the gearbox on the brow of the hill and smashed something, what it looks like to me...js
I love my fj. so I only play it in deep snow. and more fun than stupid rocks.
oh my god! it is a big problem!
sweet who needs rock sliders and thick steel skid plates???
Wow it's like 1 guy 1 jar but with oil
@JamesE1976 5k in repairs? must be having it done at a shop.. could replace both axles and the t-case for 5k wow.
this is why you get UCP before lifting!
thats because people dont leave the jeeps stock they are set up perfect from start to do normal offroading, people put a lift and big ass tires on them and they snap an axle if you leave a jeep stock your golden
>.< Ugh. Different gearing. Different tires. I wanna see it out rock crawl them. THEN I will be impressed.
out climbs? He only got a little bit further and broke his rig!
Ya you made it further but they are still driving around lol
When the Imperial Japanese Army occupied the Philippines in 1941, they found an American Jeep and promptly sent it to Japan. The Japanese military authorities ordered Toyota to produce a similar vehicle but to alter the appearance. The resulting Model AK prototype led to the Yon-Shiki Kogata Kamotsu-Sha (四式小型 貨物 車 type 4 compact cargo-truck).
Later in 1941, the Japanese government instructed Toyota to produce a light truck for Japan's military. In 1942, Toyota developed the AK10 prototype by reverse-engineering a Bantam GP. The half-ton truck features an upright front grille, flat front wheel arches that angled down and back like the FJ40, headlights mounted above the wheel arches on either side of the radiator, and a folding windshield.
The AK10 is powered by the 2,259 cc (2.3 L), 4-cylinder Type C engine from the Toyota Model AE sedan coupled to a three-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer gearbox. Unlike the U.S. Jeep, the AK10 had limited use and photographs of it in the battlefield are rare.
In June 1954, responding to claims of trademark violation by the Willys Company that produced the original Jeep, then Director of Technology Hanji Umehara renamed this 4-wheeled vehicle as the Land Cruiser.
The postwar Toyota "Jeep" BJ is completely different from the AK10 and inherits no mechanical parts from it.
Partly true-the 41 design was all willys the body was even stamped WILLYS. Ford was brought in because willys couldn't handle the amount of jeeps needed to be built. Ford did compete against willys with their own design but the military decided on willys design instead.
"yeah but you made it farther then them" and at what cost... FAIL!
@JamesE1976 That's why they call it the stealership
