Busywild Trail Carnage // Elbe Hills OHV Washington // Toyota FJ Cruiser

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!

[@matthewferrier9675]

That was so stressful to watch- can't imagine what it was like to actually live it. You're calm demeanor is commendable!

[@offroadhub.official]

Believe me, I was freaking out. 😆

[@frankcrawford8862]

That was epic! I wasn't even planning on watching the whole thing starting at like 10:20pm, but I couldn't look away!

[@ekspatvos6264]

I had the same experience, LOL.

[@4xLifeArabia]

Me too.

[@glenacord]

Same here! The damage looked expensive but at least you made an epic video for us to enjoy!

[@gammaboxer9765]

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.

[@offroadhub.official]

Editing the video was an emotional experience 😆

[@bobbyfreitas2466]

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.

[@TinasCrazyLife]

Hi love lol

[@phantomwalker8251]

thats cos there not trained in 4x4..

[@TinasCrazyLife]

@@phantomwalker8251 sweet someone who can wheel then.. Come show us what you got. Without using 40s or bigger. Lets have fun on 37s.

This is by far THE BEST wheelin vid on the net!! Tuff trail! But you wheeled it bro!

[@springinfialta106]

The trail was so wet, but the humor was so dry. What a feat!

[@offroadhub.official]

😆 Thanks for watching!

[@izamarsanchez-romero2768]

I’m watching it right now and I love the part where you said “this is stupid”

[@offroadhub.official]

Yes... It was. 😆 Thanks for watching!

[@ronr5640]

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

[@offroadhub.official]

Thank you for taking the time to watch!

[@Ravi2surya]

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 🏆

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Man, I relate so much to doing stupid trails by yourself 😂 Also the subtle humor throughout was awesome.

[@offroadhub.official]

It'll be interesting to go back and do it again with a more built vehicle!

[@FJUH]

Epic mate!! Did a great job filming as well, nice you took the time to do it considering the situation. 👍

[@Prokastrynator]

It was better than an thriller movie , loved every minute

[@offroadhub.official]

Awesome! Thank you! 🤙

[@damiencartwright5004]

Best commentary ever. Good way to destroy a perfectly good rig. Awesome effort. Kudos

I'll be back for sure!

[@stanp5981]

Honestly the most hectic fj 4x4 video on KZbin. What a trail!! Unbelievable.

[@offroadhub.official]

I was really happy to be done with this one! 😄

[@oakkblackbird]

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!

[@Chris-zp6eh]

Bro! The rig walk around at the end was the best. You got off lucky with as little damage as you did! Not the smartest thing doing it alone. Pretty epic that you made it though. Nice job! Thx for the vid.

[@offroadhub.official]

Thanks for watching 😉

[@bigfranksoutdoors]

Thanks for taking the time to make your videos. They are great. Sorry this trail was such a beast. Keep up the great videos.

[@offroadhub.official]

Thank you! It's all part of the adventure.

[@Captain-Awesome]

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!!

[@offroadhub.official]

Getting out of the established ruts would be a challenge!

[@kingtitan2051]

Wow - pretty incredible experience on your dime. I'm impressed 👍

[@offroadhub.official]

Good times, lots of dimes! 😄

[@Thomvid]

Riveting. Just bought an FJ, watching lots and this was next level. Nice driving. Crazy

[@offroadhub.official]

Congratulations on the new FJ! I wouldn't recommend this trail for you. 👍😂

TOYOTA will be proud and all fj cruisers owners the best video ( thank you ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dougbourdo2589]

Ken, your Attitude is amazing. Most folks would have been cussing & going nuts. Rock on SIR !!!

[@Trail2Touge69]

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!

[@ohsnapsitzjustin]

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!

[@offroadhub.official]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamesbroadbent8544]

I was like taken -in like right there hopeing “ we” made it and got off this train. You did it!

That was insane. I'd be absolutely terrified the entire time. Amazing video.

[@offroadhub.official]

I was a little terrified. 😄

[@feletilotulelei9181]

You’re a legend mate. Well done for doing it solo!

[@jonnysends]

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!

[@offroadhub.official]

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.

[@KoonceLyfe]

DAMN! Rather brave to tackle that solo. Bravo my man

[@Josh-nf4gp]

I love the "damper on things" head nod... Nailed it

[@Aussielife.]

Haha, that trail map looks like a map of Australia's outline. Cool video !

[@fjoffrd1240]

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!

[@offroadhub.official]

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... 😄

[@RoadTrippingFrank]

@@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 :-)

[@emalunan]

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!

[@abdolhamedsharef2924]

Wonderful ride and you have awesome driving skills beautiful FJ

The “family friendly music” part... LOL. That trail was absolutely crazy, some great wheeling on your part! 👍

[@frankiephenom5781]

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!!👊😎🤘

[@offroadhub.official]

Thank you! It was pretty insane. Thanks for watching!

[@ducatifriedrich2910]

I have watched a ton of off road vids over the last 6 months, this is by far the best. Did you really do all that video taking by yourself? That would mean tons of stopping, walking, setting up camera. What a pain. But I am sure glad you did it! That trail did not defeat you - you got thru it with no help from anyone, with "small" tires and not much lift - very impressive.

[@offroadhub.official]

Thank you! Yes, I was definitely all alone! It was a real pain, but, I was there in the thick of it so I figured I had better record it. 😄

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Man, I felt this! I love hard trails, but mud, ruts, and logs like this are just brutal. Awesome video!

[@joshuabrown8825]

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!

[@offroadhub.official]

Thanks! Elbe is pretty fun! 😄

[@brianmerrill885]

Dang dude that was gnarly! Seems like the tires did good though!

Thanks Darin!

[@billcamus8766]

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.

[@cdevenney84]

Wow. Incredible you made it through all that. Keep making these awesome videos!

[@offroadhub.official]

Thank you! I'm always working on more. New videos every Monday and Thursday.

[@cristianchis992]

Sorry for the damage, but after the fact you can appreciate the "burned adrenaline" and have the pride (and proof in your case) of what you did. I feel for you as I was in a similar scenario in Daniel Boone, where I did not know if I will ever get out (I had body damage as well although not this extensive), we completely forgot to take pictures, so kudos to you for filming it. I have since then upgraded the car, but the insecure feeling is still vivid. I hope you find the time and finances to fix the car and be back on the trails and...filming. This never gets old, in doing it and watching it :-)

[@offroadhub.official]

It was a slightly scary experience. But I've been on lots of trails since, new videos still coming. I replaced the passenger door and kept going! Thank you for watching!!

[@cristianchis992]

@@offroadhub.official .....keep them coming! I am adding several of them to my list. Was thinking Moab, but now Oregon looks better....just far :-(

Brings new meaning to comedy/tragedy. I was laughing one moment and crying the next. I felt your frustration.

[@criticaljim1]

Sometimes late at night I imagine how my life would be with big tires and a winch. Then I found this video... incredible. I'll keep dreaming for now

[@TinasCrazyLife]

These trails are great for night wheeling. I love this place. Its pretty much our backyard

[@benedwards3895]

Knarliest trail I’ve ever seen. Good job man.

[@jusgibs]

I’ve never seen anyone tackle something that gnarly so calmly in an FJ. I’m glad to know if I ever need it, my FJ can handle it if I can. The problem though is, I can’t. I baby mine. I don’t even let her watch these KZbin videos cuz I’m afraid she’ll feel left out. Don’t want her getting any insane ideas. Much respect!

[@offroadhub.official]

😆 Thank you!

[@offroadhub.official]

It was pretty wild! 😄

[@ericstewart8574]

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.

[@offroadhub.official]

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!
