Jeep vs Toyota Rock Crawling Shootout in Arizona

Just a bunch of guys getting together to push the limits of their vehicles and gravity. We had a pretty good mix of Toyota's and Jeeps to see who had the advantage in a wide variety of situations. It sure was fun pushing each other as the trail just kept getting harder as we went. At the end of the day we were all grateful to get out under our own power. I'm down another damn taillight, I guess my next project is flush taillights. Thanks for watching.

Dam good video

[@xploremor]

Thanks for checking it out

[@badkarma2269]

OUTSTANDING video, great job all drivers and super job spotters!! I have both TJ and SR5 so loved the video.

[@xploremor]

Thanks! That would be tough to decide which to drive.

[@robertloy8814]

Different trip, I'm guessing paison is hidden canyon in Aravaipa . Not sure if my coordinates calculate out. Going back next march.i hope for enough time ,could use more info. The suspended boulders caught my eye. My brother would kick my ass if I brought 68 bronco crawler. It's a great place to run an rc. Even considering extra weight. I'm not a purist just 63 year old kid.

[@xploremor]

I believe you're asking about the Hidden Canyon at Aravaipa video we made a few years ago. I will gladly share more info if you need it. I can email you a .gpx track if needed. [e-mail]

[@chrispeters4981]

I have a 89 ranger 2.9 4x4 good little truck courious with some up grades how it pro-form

[@xploremor]

I've never seen one on the rocks. Throw some tons and an atlas underneath and I bet it will be a beast on the rocks. Thanks for watching.

[@digibath89]

whew! some gnarly close calls lol deff some solid non-stop flexing goin on here!

[@j3ff3ry18]

[@93mattmendoza]

Both are great options, dont worry about what other people have just go have a badass time

[@xploremor]

couldn't agree more, thanks for watching

[@mojavedesert2610]

The two equal masters of the back road trails!✌️🍻✌️🍻

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I have an XJ and Tacoma. Trucks daily driver, XJ broken down🤷🏻‍♂️

[@HighhScore]

That 40 series farmtruck build is spot fucking on!

[@xploremor]

Yes it is, he just finished a complete roll cage. New video of us on Ajax coming in a few days. Thanks for checking us out!

[@Polerdogg]

Both Jeep & 'yota's rule the play grounds

[@mojavedesert2610]

Jason Ayers true!!! Both are great- can't go wrong either way!🍻

[@nicholechism7599]

Jason Ayers no razors do

[@desertmaverick7567]

@@nicholechism7599 Ok, Razors also rule too! :)

[@Martin-xh1hd]

@@desertmaverick7567 so do lamborghinis 😎

[@risinoutlaw61]

Yea but the yotas still better 😎

[@CheetoChop1]

Treacherous looking trail.

[@V1NCH1INZ0]

Sweet video. Looks like a nasty trail.

[@xploremor]

Thank you.

[@MrPsh-xs7ul]

Toyota all day.

[@ArturoMartinez-cr2kv]

Love them both Yota and Jeep, currently own a 2018 Rubicon Recon edition and i love it. Both have their pros n cons. Jeep pros Fun 2drive with different configurations + offroading are the best, Toyotas their reliability + looks when they are built ❤❤

[@xploremor]

I feel the same way but unfortunately the current Yota's just can't compete when it comes to capabilities right off the showroom floor. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

[@XxAlexanderProxx]

Nice. But not doing this with my Truck. I just want to go fishing, camping, and off road. But no Rock Crawling for me. I think I will build a second vehicle for this.

[@xploremor]

Nobody trailers their rigs in our group, we all daily drive them. I would have a dedicated wheeler if I could afford it. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@chrispeters4981]

Iam just a poor boy from a poor family oh God I built a monstacity payed 3500 for my 86 yota and have big expectations

[@jlopes68]

Gnarly crawling.

[@richardn5263]

Hand out and snapped back at 1145. Great!

[@xploremor]

Good eye! Sometimes my instincts over power my experience and logic. Thanks for watching.

[@gregoryfigueroa6074]

DAMN that Toyota has no problem with that trail. But i love my jeeps

[@lancehenthorn17]

Correct me if I'm wrong. To me it seems like no one aired down there tires or at least I didn't see much tire flex.

[@xploremor]

lance henthorn of course we aired down. I run at 10 psi when crawling

[@jorgem3272]

Where can I find out more info for on this

[@turbogrin]

Is that fj45 pickup built on an 80 frame?

[@xploremor]

I believe that's what he did. I can check with him next time out. Thanks for watching.

[@ibetrollintheybehatin6857]

Coolest Jeep, was actually a Land Cruiser. ;)

[@xploremor]

Excellent troll!

[@lancehenthorn17]

Land Cruiser is not a HEEP! JS!

[@FastMatt1986]

Where is this trail? Looks great 👍

[@xploremor]

Thank you for watching but I can't publicly share the location. Message me at xploremor.net and I can explain the details.

[@danb9131]

Does the fj have dual transfer cases?

[@xploremor]

I believe at the time this was filmed he did.

[@SubePelayo928]

What part of Arizona?

[@sandboxjk5696]

What trail is this at 12:58?? Thanks

[@MultiPimpmaster101]

What trail is this?

[@chadjacobsen1]

Is this at Box Canyon Florence? the big rock at 0:46 looks Really Familiar.

[@xploremor]

It's not Box Canyon. It's called Poser Rock, in Willow.

[@trevordarnell673]

The Toyota didn’t have nearly the modifications or tire size and STILL DOMINATED!!!!!!! Hell ya #thatyotalife

[@RetemVictor]

They also had 20-30 years on any one of the jeeps....

[@irvgotti94]

That's cause its built on the best Frame ever. A 80 series cruiser🤘

[@erikdelatorre1891]

Yotas forever%%%

[@masonsrestorations3852]

Grow some balls

[@edwardybarra4694]

Is that your white Jeep 2 door ? If so what are some of the details on it ? Do you have an instagram? Thanks

[@xploremor]

Thanks for watching. Yes it "was" my white 2012 JK. We got rid of it a few months ago, endless issues with motor, trans and a bunch of other stuff. But we are hard on our rigs and average 40k miles a year. We had a '08 2 door before the white one. We now have a built '99 TJ. The JK's had a Synergy mid arm kit on 2.5" springs, running 37's on built Rubicon axles. Real basic but worked very well. Our Instagram is xploremor1 Thanks again

[@jackofalltrades4529]

Toyota... it is like a Jeep but for men!

[@keatenflett4085]

Japanese men lol

[@stevectl1]

To all the people who say jeep is expensive, 2 letters for ya X J

[@Martin-xh1hd]

?

[@Ohmy1956]

Toyota’s are okay and the people are off-road kindred spirits but face it, Jeeps are more iconic than most everything else. Besides early Toyota type AA and their G1 truck used interchangeable parts from both Dodge and Chevrolet. Copycats all the way

[@nicholechism7599]

It’s funny the razor does better than both of them

[@xploremor]

Now that's funny. Feel free to bring it out and show us how much better it is. I bet you don't make the gate keeper in the best built ones.

[@theclan4adventures]

I know were you guys were and I would bet large sums of money even a razor built for king of hammers wouldnt fair to well there lol the lines these guys are taking are no joke.

[@masonsrestorations3852]

A real American drives a Jeep American made all day

[@PincheBrew]

A real American drives what ever they want.

[@AlexS-uh1nj]

Yeah... with parts made in Mexico and Venezuela...lol

[@jahsonferg5581]

Toyotas are more American made than chevy or ford lol.

[@theclan4adventures]

Not what you buy.. it's how you build it.. a real enthusiast American or otherwise knows this as law and doesn't ridicule others for what they got.

[@living_life3037]

Jeep wins hands down!

[@stevectl1]

Only problem with a Toyota, is you have to look at the ugly sob, only good looking ones are old fjs that copied jeep

[@irvgotti94]

Let me guess. Your a fan of the Gladiators huh? Lol

[@stevectl1]

Ya, but they are no beauty queen lol

[@robertloy8814]

Gotta give that Toyota it's due great articulation and it looks pretty good. To bad they're not allowed in my country, nuthin but broncos
