- In this video I attempted the Busywild Trail in Elbe Hills Washington. This trail was not meant for vehicles that you don't want to damage. The FJ Cruiser took heavy body damage, nothing mechanical failed though. I hope you enjoy watching the destruction!

Man, that was an incredible video. I ran just about every emotion watching that. Watching your snorkel gig into the bank, the familiar sound of a mirror breaking under pressure, the passenger glass shattering took the cake. So is it time for 37's? Lol maybe too soon to make such a joke. Just so you know and for what it's worth, you're a legend for making your way all by yourself through that. Can't wait for the next one.
Editing the video was an emotional experience 😆
That was so stressful to watch- can't imagine what it was like to actually live it. You're calm demeanor is commendable!
Believe me, I was freaking out. 😆
That was epic! I wasn't even planning on watching the whole thing starting at like 10:20pm, but I couldn't look away!
I had the same experience, LOL.
Me too.
Same here! The damage looked expensive but at least you made an epic video for us to enjoy!
This is by far THE BEST wheelin vid on the net!! Tuff trail! But you wheeled it bro!
"Trail" seems like an overstatement. I love all the commentary, actually.
"Sorry to be depressing" he says, while chuckling in front of thousands of dollars of body damage. Dude your attitude is incredible. I would have been livid for weeks but you seem to instantly brush it off. EPIC video! I really appreciate all the extra setup you did to get the out-of-vehicle shots.
I have a bad habit of laughing at tragedy. 😄 Thanks for watching!
Wasn't that amazing...saves everyone thousands of dollars. GREAT VIDEO!!! A+++++++++++
I've been on many recoverys on this trail. I've seen 15 rigs broke on this trail at one time. People have been stranded on this trail for days.
Hi love lol
thats cos there not trained in 4x4..
@@phantomwalker8251 sweet someone who can wheel then.. Come show us what you got. Without using 40s or bigger. Lets have fun on 37s.
You must work for Eatonville towing you look familiar
@@llamayamama4328 no he doesnt work for eatonville towing
Thank you for driving off-road and showing us how a FJ performs.
IFS,no good. has to have lockers. cant raise it, need solid diffs. they roll,real easy,no travel..
@@phantomwalker8251 oh like razors thoses definitely are solid axle IFS is nothing you just have to know how to wheel
@@reillybishop266 Lmao. I know them, all and will show up a solid axle in most situations 💯 💪 😉, I still like them, but leave them on the atv, quad, razor etc. where they belong🤣
@@phantomwalker8251 Buzz off! I have an LC100 I guess you think that is "no good" FJ's slay they are awesome and the driver is the most important thing anyway, this man has both going on
I'm a Washingtonian born and raised. I have been going to Elbe Hills wheeling and riding dirt bikes and driving a side by side more recently. I have seen the Busywild trail develop over 18yrs. I remember when I first started going to Elbe you 35" tires could make it through busy wild without having to winch but a couple times. Now you really need 38" tires or bigger and beadlocks so you can air down without worrying about losing a bead. Still one of the most difficult technical trails in Washington.
It's interesting how trails evolve. As more people hit a trail with larger and larger tires, digging things out, bigger tires become required. 40's are the new 35's... Thanks for watching!
Mann the effort you put into making these videos is crazy. Having to place a camera drive through and then stop get your camera again for the whole trail. Appreciate the effort you put into your content for us brother
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
This is the best video on RUclips. This perfectly encompasses myself as well lol. Getting into a muddy trail by yourself where the only option is forward... laughing on the outside but dying on the inside. I'm in WA as well, but I have heard the lore and the horrors of Busywild and have always stayed way far away. I'm pretty sure this is exactly how it would have gone if I tried it, so thank you for experiencing the pain for me. It is awesome that you made it through wtihout breaking the drivetrain (go IFS!). GL on the repairs!
Best video on RUclips!? Wow, thank you! 😄 Sounds like we should do a trail together sometime. Thanks for watching!!
@@offroadhub.official NEVER,,go 4x4ing alone..or buy an IFS 4x4..best 4x4rs,gu nissan,,80 series toyota. or a rubicon 4 door. fj,s roll,easy. there a prado with different body..
@@offroadhub.official fj,too short,,auto,no good.
@@phantomwalker8251 Really? I would say this video and many others demolish your view. I have an LC100 with IFS and it slays!
Epic mate!! Did a great job filming as well, nice you took the time to do it considering the situation. 👍
Man and the machine. Kudos to your courage!! I definitely don’t think the trail beat you, in my books you beat the trail 100% considering how technical it is and you conquered it all alone 🏆
Firstly Ken, my condolences with the damage to your FJ.
I do also want to thank you for THE best ever 4x4 offroading video I've EVER seen.
As a keen offroader, I watch many, many such videos from the comfort of my armchair. None have been as great as yours... in addition to the challenge of the trail, I love the entertainment value, your sense of humor, awesome narration, and excellent camera angles - and many of them at that too.
I know it's a challenge to reflect actual movement and inclines/declines in off-road videos but in this case I found myself holding my breath at a few sections because you managed to mirror your experience so well, that I thought I was INside the FJ. 🤣
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Wishing you safe (and less damaging) trips.
(New South African follower living Dubai).
Thank you for your kind word and for watching! This was the most damaging trail I've ever done for sure. All cosmetic, no mechanical which is great. I'm glad you like my dry sense of humor... Stay tuned for big things to come!
Man, I relate so much to doing stupid trails by yourself 😂 Also the subtle humor throughout was awesome.
It'll be interesting to go back and do it again with a more built vehicle!
Awesome Trail and to go solo!..... you are an inspiration on what to do and sometimes what not to do. Thank you for your videos!. Happy wheeling.
I’m watching it right now and I love the part where you said “this is stupid”
Yes... It was. 😆 Thanks for watching!
This is insane! Insanely impressed how capable both you and the FJ were during this. Poor truck....
Great journey once again. Always enjoyed every adventure! Hope to see you one day on the trial.
Awesome, I love the extend of your trail damage,…real commitment…. Fun watching, expected you to be walking out at some points. Excellent job!!!
Great video, glad you got to see the Busy. It can be challenging even for a built rig.
In my opinion, this is the best FJ video I have ever seen. @Offroad Hub you have balls to run your FJ through those tough patches. Subscribed!
You’re a legend mate. Well done for doing it solo!
The “family friendly music” part... LOL. That trail was absolutely crazy, some great wheeling on your part! 👍
This really put things in perspective 🙌. You have nerves of steel to get through this by yourself.
Wow. Incredible you made it through all that. Keep making these awesome videos!
Thank you! I'm always working on more. New videos every Monday and Thursday.
Thanks for taking the time to make your videos. They are great. Sorry this trail was such a beast. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you! It's all part of the adventure.
Awesome man!! Showed your FJ some tough love.
What an epic adventure you had there in one of the toughest wet trails I have even seen... Thanks a lot for your effort making this clip and sharing. Just subscribed!
Go FJ!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Amazing FJ Video on a very difficult trail. Man i felt every crunch and slam for your FJ. Loved the musical zen part too. haha!
Your courage and humility are inspiring. Thank you for sharing your experience as most would have hid it from the world. I would roll any trail with you. Stay smiling man because you helped many and created an incredible memory.You were a Beast
Thanks Darin!
Wow! Nice to see how a pro tackles a trail like that. Thanks for taking the video while digging yourself out of mud. I would not know my FJ could do that.
WOW!! That is a Brutal Trail and being out there by yourself is Ballzzzy!!! I think on some of those obstacles I would have made my own trail right around them. Thank you for the video!!
Getting out of the established ruts would be a challenge!
Loved the commentary, I think your laid back demeanor makes it even more enjoyable.
Looking back I’m sure that was quite a bit of fun, and you definitely found the limits of your FJ. But if you look on the bright side I’m sure your body man is going to be happy to see you. Glad to see you made it out safely. All that said, I still have to recommend looking into an EPRB.
It was fun, in a scary way. 😄 I'm definitely looking at EPRB's. Thank you!
Great video, you guys have some great trails in the west. Top it off, you did this solo, hats off to you. keep the adventure alive.
Bro! You have got Cahones made of solid brass! This trail is crazy difficult! I would have given up and cried! Thanks for posting this, nice to see how it's really done. Makes the trails ive been on look easy as hell! You're a legend my man!!👊😎🤘
Thank you! It was pretty insane. Thanks for watching!
WOW. The carnage is real. Crazy how relaxed and calm you stayed (at least from the viewers perspective). I would have been flipping out the entire time. Thanks for sharing the footage and again, that carnage was NASTY!
Thank you for watching! Yes it was insane, and honestly I edited out the worst of my frustrations... I didn't want to seem too negative. At least I can look back at it now and laugh, a little.
Man, I felt this! I love hard trails, but mud, ruts, and logs like this are just brutal. Awesome video!
It was better than an thriller movie , loved every minute
Awesome! Thank you! 🤙
Excellent video. Great quality, angles, narration and determination. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
I know that was painful and expensive but that was AWESOME! Thanks for sharing the after trip damage report. It has been a long time since I laughed until I cried.
😂😂 Glad you liked it!!
I can't believe you did this. I've watched videos with rigs on 40's having problems there. This was epic. Your filming and wheeling were both impressive. Subscribed. 👍
I’ve watched this a few times and even now, watching it again, I can’t believe you managed to do this alone. Great wheeling!
I re watch it every few months and I'm always surprised all over again... 😄 Thanks for watching, repeatedly!
Re-watching this because I know you're going to be doing it again very soon. Can't wait to see the comparison!
What an awesome video!
Thanks for sharing it, Ken. Sorry that your ride got beat up a little.
Take care and keep the videos coming.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos bro.. this is by far the most insane solo adventure I've seen... I can see why you called it stupid. 😂.. glad you made it out...
This man wins the award for Steadiest Demeanor, good show my friend
Thanks! It was pretty stressful! 😂
I am in awe of what you put this thing through. Hats off
And it was mechanically unharmed. Honestly if I knew what was coming on this trail I wouldn't have done it. Thanks for watching!
That trail was crazy. You did a hell of a job. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
I was like taken -in like right there hopeing “ we” made it and got off this train. You did it!
Dude that was epic and insane! As a fellow fj owner I enjoyed watching what your fj can do and thanks for the warning. I'll never do this trail 😆 keep the awesome vids coming. U earned a sub!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one!
This is how I felt when I took my x5 to LaDee flats, thought I was having a heart attack mid trail hahaha. Well done on getting through it!
Just found your Chanel and I have to subscribe for this alone lol. You’re a legend for sending this whole trail. Love the Fj too, not many people build them where I’m from.
Thank you! FJ's can do pretty well!
Ken, your Attitude is amazing. Most folks would have been cussing & going nuts. Rock on SIR !!!
awesome video...many videos show the best technical driving of a trail... you showed scars and all.
You really got me immersed, soaking wet and muddied. I was yellin' TURN AROUND but you wouldn't. Good work and thanks for the ride!
At 33:30… thanks for letting it play so I can see the trail since I definitely will never do it. Respect to you for solo finishing it. And even thru frustration still record it. Can’t wait to watch more of your vids in WA!
Thanks for watching!
that was a gnarly trail. The last time you used the tailgate, that was a nasty hole also. Thanks for the video
Yota Power.
I was on the edge the whole video, You and your fj are true warriors, best true off road video I have ever seen, you seemed so fresh and I was freaking out the whole time, TRUE BADASS
Thanks for watching! It was a pretty crazy experience!
Dude ! Wow! Such a rad video , I’m sorry for all the damage .
Thanks! The damage gives the fj character...
You’re brave for tackling this not only in your fj but by yourself! I love about an hour and a half from Elbe.
I didn't realize what I was driving into... 😆 Thanks for watching!
DAMN! Rather brave to tackle that solo. Bravo my man
Amazing driving. I can't even imagine me in FJ doing what you did. Excellent videography as well
Very commendable
I was pretty surprised myself. 😄 Thanks for watching!
Wonderful ride and you have awesome driving skills beautiful FJ
WOW, awesome video, love my FJ! I made sure to watch the whole thing to assist in any rev you may get from this. Subed!
Thank you x1000!!
Haha, that trail map looks like a map of Australia's outline. Cool video !
TOYOTA will be proud and all fj cruisers owners the best video ( thank you ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG - I felt the pain! I’m NOT going anywhere near there... Plus I’m not brave enough to go it alone. Happy that the story ended with you out safe.
I feel for you Ken. I bet the desert is looking pretty good right about now.
(Queue "Dueling Banjos") Wow, way to teach your FJ the hard way! Awesome run.
I love your sense of adventure, the more videos I watch on your channel the more I want to watch. I applaud your willingness to attempt, I've seen guys with more capable rigs that wouldn't attempt the things you do with that FJ.
I like to try everything that seems half way reasonable... Thanks for watching!!
That’s the best way to change camera angles!!! Great stuff
Fj carnage indeed! Amazing video!
TO COMPLETE THAT TRAIL !! WOW BRO ... tons of work .. great job !!!
It's a marathon of trouble! 😆
Man that was totally excellent!!
Lake Havasu-☀️ AZ.
Thank you, glad you liked it! 😊
Wow - pretty incredible experience on your dime. I'm impressed 👍
Good times, lots of dimes! 😄
Great video man, really appreciate it. Just purchased a stock 2010 that I hope to take on some EASY trails after some mods. Nice to see what they can do but as a city guy I can tell you I would have been crying like a baby back there! 🤣
Mine is a 2010 as well, have fun in yours! Thanks for watching!
Dang dude that was gnarly! Seems like the tires did good though!
Yeah the Milestars are really great! Thanks for watching!
In high school we all had claped out toyotas ran the bussy every weekend bussy backwards night runs were common
Riveting. Just bought an FJ, watching lots and this was next level. Nice driving. Crazy
Congratulations on the new FJ! I wouldn't recommend this trail for you. 👍😂
An awesome vid mate, the trail is insane and the commentary is fantastic. And love the map outline of Australia.....
😆😆 the trail is shaped like Australia! I never noticed before! "They" say everything in Australia is trying to kill you, which is also similar to this trail...
man you got stones!!!! hitting that trail alone!!! great video bud
Dude,… you have my upmost respect!! Happy to see you out there hitting awesome trails! I know this is an older video, but I hope you’re still out there riding!
Thanks! Elbe is pretty fun! 😄
There is no finer 4wd video, ever!! You have style unimagined by the masses. I watched it twice. Very real and unencumbered.....and all with as smile.
Wow, thank you!
Brings new meaning to comedy/tragedy. I was laughing one moment and crying the next. I felt your frustration.
Haven't seen you in forever. I haven't been out on the trail in awhile. Great videos as always.
Now THAT is putting a vehicle to the test! Well done!
Wow, awesome video - thanks for sharing for us to enjoy! Sorry for the damage to the FJ but at least now you can really just fully enjoy it offroad! Good thing for that winch too.
Yeah I gave the winch a pretty good workout. 😄 Thanks for watching!
I rolled my fj 3 days ago in Southern California hills. Love the video.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Is it a total loss?
Been through the Busywild many times. Was there this past weekend. 40s and throttle are the usual suspects. I've made it without pulling cable with spooled axles, on 35s...twice😁 I thoroughly enjoyed the vid.
You made it out and both you and the FJ accounted for yourselves very well. The body damage sucks and someone needs to mark that trail what it truly is as far as rating goes. I would call that Extreme difficulty, highly modified vehicles only. Great video. I believe I'll subscribe, if only to show appreciation for the great run.
Thanks for watching! Yes I think Busywild should be rated as extreme above every other trail, and marked as such. I would appreciate your subscription, you might like my other content as well! 👍
Went to Elbe a years ago and busy wild was closed. I drove 9 hours to hit it and it was closed lol. Pissed me off.
You are a absolute legend for doing this by yourself. I’ve heard horror stories of this trail.
Oh man that's horrible that Busywild was closed. The other trails at Elbe are also a ton of fun though. Thanks for watching!
The vehicle can be fixed buddy, how is your blood pressure at this time! . I would never wish this on anyone. And no watching your vehicle getting crushed, actually raise my blood pressure!
It was nerve racking at the time. All the damage was superficial, I'm totally ok with it now. But I won't be back on that trail again any time soon... 😄
@@offroadhub.official next time, just put a blindfold on and FULL SEND IT...... once you start dont let off the gas and im sure youll slip-n-slide all the way thru with less damage :-)
That was insane. I'd be absolutely terrified the entire time. Amazing video.
I was a little terrified. 😄
My wallet way sobbing the whole time I was watching/hearing each crunch! I know that taking by-passes don't get views but I was hoping you'd take a few. I didn't even see any by-passes. You were committed to the point of no return. Even more, it's pretty ballsy to wheel alone. This is how legends are born. Thanks for taking the time to set up the camera, editing, getting in the mud and putting your rig on the line. Literally. You know what you're doing but perhaps the next time your winch line balls up and you're rolling alone, take a couple of minutes on the trail to get it ready for the next obstacle.
Yeah there were no bypasses, the mud ruts were like train rails basically, you had no choice but to follow the path. Thanks for watching!
Brutal! hard to watch! Hats off! standing ovation, you name it, you got it!
Thank you! Brutal is a good word for that trail! 😄
Wow... just wow! SMH... glad you made it and someone didn't just find this video in the woods... most gnarly video I've seen!
"Find this video in the woods" 😆
Legendary! That was awesome, thank you. Also a testament to how tough Toyotas are. Your FJ was a beast here. I see videos of Jeeps breaking axels and such on the first obstacle of a trail.
I got pretty lucky not breaking anything mechanically! Thanks for watching!
@@offroadhub.official I could def see a tie rod going just getting dropped onto a root in that water. Or lose a bead. You didn’t even do that. Crazy, crazy trail.
@@slowmo9957 yeah I'm really glad I made it out without a single mechanical or tire issue!
The haters will hate!!! Truth is to be out in that type of trail BY YOURSELF takes brains and balls the size of 49 inch IROKS!!!!!! GREAT JOB SR!!! LET THE HATERS HATE YOU KNOW THERE GRASS&GRAVEL OFFROADERS HAVE NIGHTMARES OF TRAILS LIKE THAT
Well played sir! Well played.
Crazy, I think I'll stick to rocks! I'm looking forward to seeing the video from wheeling in Caballo this weekend.
Yeah this was a mess! 😆 Thanks for wheeling with me, it was awesome!
