Can a FJ cruiser keep up with a Jeep group? Odessa Canyon and Doran Loop put that to a test

Here for the FJ Cruiser content

More incoming!!

Same

[@tinamoody4867]

We can’t thank you enough for always showing us how capable the FJ is and for having faith in Byron’s driving. 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

[@TrailMilitia]

Ohh I don’t have faith in Byron I just pray 😂

[@tinamoody4867]

🤣🤣🤣

[@holydude13]

Sick video. Great to see that FJ make it through. Gives me hope lol

[@TrailMilitia]

Haha you’ll be fine

[@Jon_AdventureHound]

Awesome video, great job. Came to see the FJ but, now I’m gonna subscribe. Great content.

[@TrailMilitia]

Appreciate the feedback and thanks for the follow

[@7THxSIGN]

FJ did awesome! Very impressive!

[@jeepgreatstories]

Moody - spending money frivolously, sleeping on couches… just like George 😂😂😂😂 My man!

[@c86alfonso]

Now let's compare their reliability after 150,000 miles. 😀

[@kathrineculver696]

Lol I doubt any of the jeeps would make 100k

[@blackmantis6443]

I must admit that me being black it is good to see another brother of my kind doing this. Great video 😊😊😊

[@TrailMilitia]

I do admit there isn’t many but I welcome all takers. If you’re located near us feel free to join in. I’ll get moody to come out also

[@POPPASHANGO]

Just found the channel and subscribed. Have an FJ and a Wrangler so I am all in. What wheels are on the FJ? I am looking to change mine up. Thanks!

[@TrailMilitia]

Appreciate it man. Those are black rhino wheels

[@POPPASHANGO]

@@TrailMilitia I did some searching and found it. Thanks! You got another fan here !

[@TrailMilitia]

@@POPPASHANGO appreciate it thank you 🙏

[@cq257]

solid axle really makes a big difference keeping those wheels on the ground.

[@TJY2K]

Badass video! I definitely have to check this place out! Blue gladiator sounded like they were in second gear trying to climb up. Similar case of the defender you had a couple videos ago. FJ needs to delete that front sway bar lol

[@TrailMilitia]

I’m not sure but it is diesel I don’t baby sit where they are till they struggle then I come in hot lol

[@acts19ministries82]

Great content. Did the FJ have his front sway bar disconnected or removed? What size of tires was he running? I have 33” on my FJ. Do you think that would be tall enough to do everything you guy did? Thanks

[@joegoedhart1259]

In Australia everyone bags Jeep, but after watching this I think they are very capable. I will be tuning the haters in from now on.

[@TrailMilitia]

Jeeps are definitely very capable but so are so many other rigs a lot comes down to who’s driving

[@designtime3469]

It’s funny the door slamming is probably more likely than rock damage. Good upgrades.

[@jahbrony3650]

left my guy hangingggggggggggggg

[@TrailMilitia]

Just noticed it damn lol

[@bcelestial2008]

I was sad for the rest of the trail... lol

[@nathankendall3467]

Solid video.

[@ashleyanagnos8976]

Naked gladi .... great day full of fun and laughs and FBS

[@dierkrieger]

FJ Cruiser is better than a lot of the JEEPS, but the driver and the guide make a BIG difference. I own an FJ and I'm looking at JEEPs right now, I like the Willys.

[@Salsgarageadventures]

Sick man!!! I'd love to join!

[@TrailMilitia]

All runs are posted on Instagram usually if you give us a follow on there you’re more than welcome to join.

[@tucathehuskyboxermix3397]

I would be the last person people would invite on these trails. Because I would instinctively just hit the gas to get over these rocks 😭. Watching everyone be so careful is making me anxious lmao

[@TrailMilitia]

I like this kinda party lol

[@blacksheeptx214]

I love my FJ but I am jealous of that solid front axle

[@Greg-us3wi]

Those little hands got me nervous 13:58

[@TrailMilitia]

Good point definitely will make sure those are tucked in

[@Booger4runner]

All these exclusive Byron runs I'm canceling my subscription!! Hahaha j/k 🤪 I don't see why a toyota version of a jeep couldn't keep up with jeeps though 🤔

[@TrailMilitia]

First of all watch your mouth that’s far from a jeep and second this wasn’t a Byron run mostly a find a trail that ended to be a only yota all jeeps run to Odessa

[@Booger4runner]

@@TrailMilitia 😂

[@Kevin-dm4ul]

What size tires on the FJ?

[@TrailMilitia]

35s

[@bryntheexplorer1426]

Damn! They look 33's besides those jeeps 😂

[@datujaasserzachariaivcanda7848]

@@TrailMilitia dang those look small, for sure I thought they were 33s. Jeeps must be running 37s or something

[@TrailMilitia]

@@datujaasserzachariaivcanda7848 my gladiator is on the 39s

[@mEtAlMaNiAc787]

fj did better than I thought it would.

[@obx512]

MOODY!!!! i have to wheel with this guy.

[@TrailMilitia]

Absolutely he’s a party for sure

[@EvolvedTactical]

Moody is a ton of fun and a super nice guy. His 7th Gen Bronco is the business.

[@TrailMilitia]

@@EvolvedTactical first ever concept build actually driven 😆

[@bcelestial2008]

Weekends are foe wheeling!! Let's find a trail and gooooo!!!

[@obx512]

@@bcelestial2008 I’m in Texas Man I need to plan it.

[@PapalTime]

A throttle controller would have made that a lot smoother. Or you could plop it in A-trac but that's not really driving.

[@TheHitSquadOffroad]

Be free. No rack😅 There’s like a 2% chance I’ll put a rack on mine.

[@EvolvedTactical]

Jorge goes looking for the Not A Rubicon trail....brings a Rubicon.

[@TrailMilitia]

Tactical at all times 😆

[@obx512]

lol

[@fernando_ofarrill]

is the FJ modified?

[@TrailMilitia]

Yea he’s on a 3 inch lift and 35

[@PraisebetoGod7]

The guy in the FJ is a badass mf

[@luispedroza3906]

We got to get moody doing more commentaries.

[@TrailMilitia]

Agreed

[@diego-kleinman]

A rack is not unsprung weight

[@od332]

I can see why its called pucker pass 😣😣

[@alstenmart]

The FJ driver looks like doesn't know what is 4L

[@coltonmiller3636]

Ide say the FJ did the best considering it has the Smallest Tires on it if they put the tires on that the jeeps had they wouldn’t be able to keep up with him

[@TrailMilitia]

I disagree a gladiator on 35 still does work and with the extra articulation of a straight axle Im willing to bet it does better. Im an FJ fan boy btw Moody could’ve walked it but he gets nervous 😬

[@SkilletsUSMC]

I was an FJ guy who switched to a JKUR. The Jeep IS the superior trail rig, but the FJC still conducts itself well. Tied for second best IFS 4x4 with the 3rd Gen 4R and slightly behind the Sasquatch bronco. IFS actually wheels fine. It’s just SCARY in high off camber terrain.

[@BoiseTDI]

@@SkilletsUSMC agreed. And the FJ is the best all-rounder IMO, when taking into acct durability AND reliability.

[@EthosAtheos]

The FJ did to well, but the Jeeps solid axle is still an advantage in the big rocks. As soon as you have to drive it home or down a bumpy dirt road the jeeps will all fall away. Most of the off road driving where I live (New England) is forest roads or dirt tracks. The Jeeps and other solid front axle trucks can't keep up with me in my FJ.

[@anitad310]

this stress me out lol

[@batban8864]

FJ +1

[@luiscardozo0000]

the fj with those parts in white is the worst fj idea of painting i ever see ...terrible horrible ...what a fool the owner
