Off Road Adventure in Fordyce Creek

We wasted no time in testing out latest build, the Phoenix JK, on one of the toughest off road trails California has to offer, Fordyce Creek. Upgrades made to both the Phoenix and Mischief Maker were a complete success and both rigs performed without a problem.
Gridloc and Roqtaco were a different story. Both of these suffered an axle break on the trail, keeping us from achieving a full run this time around. It was a great shake down run for the others regardless, and Steve from Powertank shows us how to wrestle a trailer through one of California's most technical trails. We can't come back to conquer this amazing trail and see what other challenges it has for us!

I love that : "Rex is still stuck we don't know where he's at"....He will either catch up or the Bears will dine well tonight. :)

[@kouki2123]

The Jeep with the baby trailer side kick is crazy as heck.

[@OutdoorAuto]

Rex's commentary is so entertaining.

[@ANAKBORNEO111]

Wow nice 4x4. I like it.

[@PillCozbee]

What a fun video. True story. My brother and I took my 72 Bronco through here - not even knowing where we were. We were just looking for places to fish and started at Eagle Lakes - no bites, so we kept going. I had a 4" lift, posi, NP435 and a 351W. Those were the only saving graces. We stacked rocks for 4 hours getting through that wedge. This was in the 90s and on a weekday, so, not crowded.

[@athemkashung8266]

Unbelievable power of the jeep!!

[@nelsonenaccion4x424]

That is an great group and TRAIL on another level that black jeep looks Bad Ass i like everything on that build that motor sound outstanding good very very Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[@kouki2123]

I know I may get attacked on this one from you Jeep lovers, but dang that Toyota is gettin it. The axle break could have been prevented, and in some spots it needed help, but regardless it's going practically where these 100k + Jeeps are going an I bet the toyota doesn't even have 10k worth of suspension mods. Now imagine if you built the tacoma, and got rid of the IFS for a solid axle up front. It would be a beast! Mad props to the Jeep owners in this video. Shit looks dope and super rad! Great driving and for being safe out on the trails.

[@RockstarGarage]

There was a lot of pulling and winching that day lol

@@RockstarGarage I have a question and not to sure how to ask it.

[@KNfilters]

Absolutely EPIC! These rigs look right at home in that gnarly terrain. Super cool seeing Rex wheel his Taco on this trail and the Phoenix JK is incredible! Job well done everybody!

[@RockstarGarage]

Good partners!

The phoenix is so cool

[@dedjrob]

I was one of the Tacoma’s who ran into you guys getting into the staging area. Thanks for letting us pass thru. Those rigs are badass in person. Wish we waited to check them out while you guys unloaded.

[@joeverastegui8399]

Best Fordyce vid I've seen. Thanks for showing more than just the main water crossings. That trail looks like a BEAST!!!! Nice wheeling!!!

Go back and finish the trail... we want to see it all!

[@seanmason6721]

Such a great trail. I have to admit I'm a bit spoiled with having the trailhead 30 minutes from my front door.

[@mrbubbles7857]

If I ever have the money to spend on a jeep the way these guys do I'll definitely do something similar to this build I'm currently driving a 94XJ on a 3 inch lift with 33's🙃

[@abbasforamerica7508]

This is what i call BAD-ASS WHEELING!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!

right??? if we moved back to land we would want one

Great video & footage! My only complaint is: homeboy better keep his left arm inside Gridloc at all times if he doesn’t want to lose it! Ya never know what can happen in a split second...

I'm a Cancer survivor I've been building on my jeep tj for 5 years. I have 05 frame on 00 jeep done rite. My dream was to take it wheeling like that . Just did 8.8 swap regear 4.56 wish I did 5.18. I haven't geared front and I'm looking for a axle.👍🤟

[@powersn8n]

That looks like a fun trail. I’d like to run that one some day.

[@moabman6803]

Was hoping to see the whole trail. Too bad it ended so short.

[@RockstarGarage]

We will be dropping a part 2!

[@Pistolpete218]

How much does something like this cost to build? Just to build, not including the rig

[@javierwaite5713]

I love your videos they are fire🔥🔥

[@vegasrider05]

Thats the first 3rd gen I've seem break a rear axle shaft. I'm hitting fordyce tomorrow in my tacoma.

[@kouki2123]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@kouki2123]

Had you done this trail before or first time in the third gen ?

[@comptonoverland7442]

Definitely bring several spare CVs, several axles and a spare engine and Trans. Those tacos break non-stop.

[@Intentsrig]

I ebelieve that tacoma was not a trd off road. Which means the axles are 30 spline vs 32 spline. So a bit less strength. The new 3rd Gen trd off roads only ones with the newer 32 spline shafts. Not saying it still wouldn’t have broke but for sure has a higher torque capacity

Yes it’s a Genright cage

Cool

[@Angl0sax0nknight]

The water would make me nervous as hell in the deep water. Without a snorkel I’d wouldn’t want to loose my motor

[@lazybastard2729]

How does the engine not blow? Am I just ignorant to how engines work?

[@RockstarGarage]

Apart from needing some tuning, to be expected since we ran it right out of the junkyard, the new engine in the Phoenix ran line a dream with the Bruiser Conversion kit. We didn't do any long term redlining, so no major worries about blowing anything up. The water got deep, but not deep enough to be sucked in through the intake so everything was gravy!
