Sidewinder, Rattlesnake, And Constrictor Trails // Utah Off Road // Toyota FJ Cruiser

- In this epic adventure I explore Tooele County Utah's Sidewinder, Rattlesnake and Constrictor trails! These three short trails have some serious obstacles and serious rock crawling fun! I find the limits of the FJ Cruiser and the limits of what I'm willing to try solo off road.
“Believe it or not I do try to avoid extra body damage” 😂 good stuff man
Great that you had "That discussion" with your better half and heeded the wisdom. I, too have gone there. Rock on Sir.
Love how the terrain changes as you get up higher in these parts. One thing I noticed is that people don't want to change the obstacles to make them easier but in almost all cases the change has made them worse. What I mean is that most likely these trails were tough to begin with but over the years they became worse through erosion and people spinning their tires needlessly when they know they can't make the obstacle or being silly and not engaging lockers when they have them just to see if they can make it. Seems harmless but the trails become absolutely devasted many times. So that brings me back to my point is that sometimes it's better to have some trail maintenance, making it closer to original and allowing more people to utilize it and also takes away the idea of creating a whole new offshoot of the trail.
I was just there today. Beast of a trail.
Rather glad to see you decided not to climb that last section! I watched while on the edge of my chair your video going thru that mud and rock pit.
You certainly repaired the FJ quickly! Glad to see ya back. Until next time.
Yes, Eagles Nest presents a very high risk of roll over, especially without a spotter. It's good to know the limits of what is reasonably safe.
I have done this trail in my FJ on 33's, no front locker, stock gears and just a leveling kit. I did use some bypasses but not anymore. 35's and long travel but still open on the front and still stock gears. Waynes world is a wheelbase problem. I havent done it yet but I keep trying. The "Tickler" is known to me as radiator rapids and the line you chose made it look easy. I will be running that line next time. For most people, eagles nest is a winch obstacle and there is an anchor up there next to a tree. @23 minutes if you stay to the passenger side, that is the rock garden and I have made it through there too. It is tough though. I would be glad to hit this trail again with you next time you are in town!
Eagles nest is pretty intimidating! I ran into a guy in a buggy on the way down and he said he rolls on that one frequently... 😄 Yeah I'd love to hit some trails with you down there some time. Thanks for watching!
Finally a good review of these trials. Nice! thanks!
These trails seem to be lesser known. But they're a great set of trails if you don't want to drive all the way down to Moab. Thanks for watching!
Great vid! As a newbie, I really appreciate you talking about your decision process and some of the considerations for line choice and trail etiquette. This is instructional, not just wildly entertaining !

Wayne's world is no joke . I was there last week and saw heavily modified jeeps and sidexsides fail to make it up.
That's for sure!
Smart move. There is only so much you can do on 35s. No shame in going home in one piece.
Well and the guy I met in a tube frame buggy on 40's says he rolls about half the time on that last obstacle... 😆😆
Its good to see another idaho plate out there. Even better its on a FJ!
I hope to see you run these trails again now that the FJ has spent some time in the gym.
I live nearby and would love to join as well.
Cool video! Everytime i go run the rattlesnake i feel like it gets harder and more dug out
Love your videos, been admiring how you setup your shots. I’ve got a ‘09 GX on 33’s and want to start making trail videos etc. thanks for the inspiration!
GX's are super nice! Good luck on the videos, it's quite a bit of work! 😄
I just realized the term 'off-roading' is somewhat new...When I was growing up it was called 'beating the hell out of your truck'
Is it new? When did you grow up? 😄

@@offroadhub.official I'm actually not that old ;)
We need to plan a trip back here
Definitely. Some great trails but lesser known.
What lift and tires are you running on this FJ? Your videos are awesome.
I was running 35" tires and a Dobinsons extended travel lift in this video! Thanks for watching!
Awesome picture quality, what camera do you use?
I use a GoPro Hero 8 Black, and record in 4k 24 fps. I'm glad you like the image quality. The GoPro certainly has it's limitations, but you can't beat the durability and convenience of such a small package. Thanks for watching!
Very cool video. I was up there today in my jeep. I got to the Wayne’s world obstacle and it’s not even easy to walk up. It’s slippery and it’s massive. Camera doesn’t even really do it justice. Being up there alone, no way I was going to attempt that. Quite honestly I don’t think I would try it if I had people with me.
Quick question: Is the constrictor trail trail after you get up the Wayne’s world obstacle? In other words is it the trail in between Eagles nest and Wayne’s world?
Is the sidewinder trail near Wayne’s world? I could not find it.
They are 3 separate trails. Wayne's World is just an optional side obstacle, you continue the trail even if you don't do it. I had gpx files I was using in Gaia to find my way around. They are all very close to each other.
@@offroadhub.official Awww gotcha.. I was on the trail right above the Wayne’s world obstacle. I parked and walked down to the obstacle. It looked like either you go up the obstacle or dead end. I guess you could go up the big hill that’s on the right. It’s so fun out there! Thanks for sharing the video! 🤙
6:05 Just wondering if it's illegal to cut that tree off. 🤷♀️
That would be improper trail etiquette... modifying things to that extent to make it easier is generally frowned upon. Thank you for watching!!
Just bought an 07 2 days ago . Just curious what 4x4 range your in and if using the diff lock or the ATRAC ? I figure 4lo most of the time . Cool vids , thanks for all tips in your vids .
I'm in 4 low on every trail and I leave the atrac on all the time. I engage my rear and front lockers as needed, I used both frequently in this trail. Enjoy your new FJ! Thanks for watching!
@@offroadhub.official thanks and I take it the atrac needs to be turned off to engage the rear diff lock on mine . They cant be used at the same time ? Sorry im a newb lol dont have the owners manual.
@@11silver-bullets they can be on at the same time. Atrac only engages when the wheels are turning at different rates. Since they can't turn at different rates when locked, atrac does nothing. So, no need to turn atrac on and off.
@@offroadhub.official well thats good to hear and understand . Cool ! Thanks man ! I live up in British Columbia . Tons of foresrty and 4x4 roads up here , cant wait to hit some trails again . Been a few years !
Cheers ✌🍻
@@11silver-bullets I need to get up there!
orange hue,,,,mars...
There was a lot of dust in the air. 😉
How upgraded is your suspension?
I have Dobinsons coils and shocks and Reszfab rear links. It's about a 3.5" lift.
@@offroadhub.official just bought an 09 fj looking to follow in your footsteps your out here killing it 🔥
How much air did you take outta the tires
I run 15psi on almost every trail.
@@offroadhub.official how do you like the tires I have K02 AT. and I take mine down to 18 and get really good traction. Love your FJ. And the big 35’s. I’m in AZ and have similar terrain would be cool to meet up with you sometime in Idaho.
@@cannadaincowboy I'm doing trails is arizona right now. Email me at offroadhub.official@gmail.com if you're interested in doing some with me!
is your fj regeared?
It is now, 4.88. It was regeared starting with firebreak 5 in this sequence of clips.
@@offroadhub.official oh nice we have very similar set ups. i have 4.88's, 35's, a front airlocker and 2.5 remote resivoir icons all around. if your in the vegas area again id love to go wheeling with you
i also have a 2020 gladiator jt with a 2 inch lift and 37's hahaha
