  • This past March, I spent a week in Sedona, Arizona. A place that is easily becoming one of my most favorite place to visit. This was my second time back and in this video, I go through one of Sedona's most popular 4x4 trail, the Broken Arrow Trail
    Broken Arrow Trail is a 2.8 mile out and back trail. It is considered moderately challenging and takes about 1.5 hours to complete.

    Man, solo and filming on this trail 🫡. I love the views on that trail. Nicely filmed, wind noise is fine.

    When you were talking about your line choices at Devil’s staircase, I thought “Why doesn’t he just drive over the large rock (as in put your tire on it)”. Looks like that’s what you actually did. Pretty sure that’s the best way to not take out your differential.

  • @jsinovich22

    You should post a video with the process of wrapping this truck. I had a Barcelona Red 4R also and loved the color. But that quicksand color….bad ass.

    • @fpartidafpartida
      @fpartidafpartida Год назад +2

      Yeah, total agree with this comment. Also, how long does the wrap last? How do you maintain it? And what was the cost? Cover photo shows some red peaking out to the lift gate, is there no way to avoid that?

    I love this video! I like how you’re “real” and not making it seem easier than it is. And you explain things in a way that’s easily understood.
    Unfortunately I don’t think I could make it down Devils Staircase with stock clearance. Can I do Broken Arrow and avoid DS?

    • @thegiant573

    Very nice looking 4Runner. What year is it? I ran this trail, several years ago, in my 1986 Toyota 4X4 pick up. It was beautiful and fun. My current rig is a 2018 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium, with some moderate mods. 3 inch lift, front trail camera, rock sliders, and a drawer / sleeping platform system in the back. I really love the 4Runner. It's a pleasure to daily drive and it's very capable off road. I enjoyed the video. Thanks.

    Great video! Did you install wheel spacers? If so, does your steering wheel shakes when you go over 50 mph?

    • @francisngo
      @francisngo  Год назад

      No wheel spacers. I have SCS wheels which have a -12 offset. Would recommend going away from wheel spacers as they put extra load on the wheel bearings and can cause damage especially for off-roading vehicles. Even if you only drive it on the road, hitting pot holes can cause a pricy damage.

    Very nice. How did you have the transmission or other controls set for the staircase decent?

    • @francisngo
      @francisngo  Год назад +3

      No controls were set just had the 4Runner in 4LO and let gravity takes it course (braking firmly when necessary). It can get really slippery so even when you brake, you can still slide a few inches; that is probably the scariest part - not feeling like you have control.

      I did not use A-TRAC for this course although it might have been useful in certain situations to avoid tire chirp especially near the texas bump section.

    • @francisngo

      I would say you would have to know your vehicle very well and be okay with potentially hitting your tow hitch mount and rubbing if the vehicle isn’t lifted.

      Required a lot of patience setting up the camera and waiting for pink jeep and traffic to pass. It was before the summer season where the trail is less busy. There were still a nice handful of pink jeeps as well as bikers and hikers.
