OVERLANDING BROKEN ARROW TRAIL, SEDONA AZ - 2020 Toyota Tacoma

[@3gg23]

I love how you guys are adding the safety portion to overlanding, your channel gets better and better every video keep it up guys. GoArmy!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hey thanks man. I try to be as informative as possible. I also hate rattlesnakes. Me and Indiana Jones.

[@user-cl2es9iu1j]

I like that you have kept your grill. Seems everyone wants to run out and get a heritage grill. Your grill looks bold and reminds me of the HiLux. Enjoyed your video.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hey thanks man. Hey I definitely like the way my grill looks. I’ll be honest though if it had chrome or wasn’t so chunky I would swap it out.

[@thomasbecker8079]

It’s been many years but Broken Arrow was one of my favorite trails when I lived in AZ.

[@AdventureBuilt]

It is very Arizona. If you still lived out here I would say to check out Section 7 of the Arizona Backcountry Discovery Route. It is amazing.

[@robertmills794]

I've done that one multiple times. Fun trail, Submarine Rock, Devils staircase, etc. All fun and close to town.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Very cool man. It is a very cool trail.

[@thatsdickysboy]

I ran this trail in my bone stock ‘12 FJ Cruiser but have since gone to 35’s with 3” lift and haven’t been able to get back since! Luv the vid. Keep ‘em coming !

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you very much. FJ are absolute weapons on the trails.

[@mehGyver]

We hit that trail in April during the WuFlu lockdown. Only saw 1 other truck on the trail that day. It was perfect! My wife busted her ass where your's slipped at 12:00. LOL

[@AdventureBuilt]

Wow, you got super lucky. We saw about 10 other people on that trail which I’ve heard is light. It’s crazy on the weekends. I was surprised my wife didn’t fall. She is a little ninja!!! Thx for watching!!!

[@tantanracing2361]

This is so bad ass I just got my taco trd sport very helpful now I know we’re I take my wife and kids for some off-road fun. Thanks great video 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hey thanks man...so glad you liked it and could help you out finding someplace awesome to take the family. You Rock!!!!

[@davidschaeffer7327]

Great video. Going this week. Couldn’t decide where to go. You guys made our decision easy. Thanks!

Thank you very much!!! Hope you enjoy it.

Thank you and for sure. Coming to an end soon I hope.

another great video of out beautiful state. cant wait to tag along when I get my tacoma!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thanks you very much and that would be awesome!

[@lucaspowell8580]

I love this trail. Was thinking of taking my tacoma and the wife's Fj there next weekend

[@AdventureBuilt]

Sounds like a couples getaway to me!!! Have fun!

[@williamrollins3448]

I've done this trail twice in the last year since purchasing my Tacoma TRD Off Road. I can see adding lift and bigger tires would reduce the rub. I cheated the Devil's staircase by using Crawl Control. Sedona is always great!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Oh very cool man. I’ll definitely give crawl control a go next time I’m there.

[@hudsonrouse]

crawl control is not cheating in my book. it makes it easier to sip a frothy!

[@Myrdoc]

I don't think that's cheating, I use it on my 4Runner all the time on steep stuff

[@Rawduke89]

Need to give this trail a run! Great video!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thanks man and send it!!!

[@warrod49]

Nice trail & Video. may have to hit this trail sometime in the future. Have relatives in AZ maybe a few hours from there. Still along ways from Nebraska

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you. Yes it is a long way but totally worth it. Come check it out!!!

love this trail

[@AdventureBuilt]

Yea for sure a good one!!!!!

[@toddpossum]

New sub here. You should do a truck accessory list in the description . Buying my first Tacoma.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you and that is a great suggestion!!!

[@jonnysends]

When I did this trail about two months ago, the obstacle at 3:52 snuck up on me out of nowhere probably around 5-8mph and put a nice fat dent on the top of my skid plate :) thank god i had a crazy high clearance front bumper when it happened otherwise the damage would have been super shameful!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Yea some of those first hits are steep. Glad you didn’t get any crazy damage. Skid plate finally earning its keep!!!

[@peterhoma6385]

You should have went UP the devils stair case your Tacoma would have ate it up , Tacoma is so capable !

[@AdventureBuilt]

Yea that would have been awesome. Unfortunately the devils staircase is one way only, going down. They are trying to protect the trail and not tear it up.

[@tkmadventures4965]

Very very cool!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate that.

[@rikscichlidaddiction25]

I was going this past April for Tundras to Sedona but got canceled due to Covid-19. So hope next year is a go

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hopefully everything goes back to normal soon. It’s a great trail.

Well done taken a trip into the Vortex

[@AdventureBuilt]

Yea I definitely felt the power of the Vortex!!! Thx.

@@AdventureBuilt LOL good stuff!

[@chihermoso]

Awesome vid as always! Your brakes are squeaking so much, kind of like mine. Dealership said its normal????!!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you very much. It seems after I wash the calipers the squeaking stops but 10 minutes into the dust and they start to squeak again. Oh well.

[@giancarlorios4992]

Great editing, Great Vibes and Overall Great Videos..Definitely deserve more subs🙏🏽I have a 14’ Tacoma and would love to Overland like you

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hey thanks man. I really appreciate it!!!!

[@aarongerman7857]

2" lift and 33" tires? looking to run my LC 200 series through..but have 2" lift and 33"..no steel bumpers..wonder if theyll scrape

[@peterhoma6385]

Nice footage bud 👍🏻 are you going to regear your taco?

[@martee4]

Great video! What tire size/lift are you running? Just got a Tacoma OR 2022 and wondering if it can handle this trail stock.

[@AdventureBuilt]

You can do the trail in stock form but you will more than likely scrape your rear bumper. Also the Tacoma is running BFG KM3 35x12.5 with the Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro lift kit at about 3” of lift.

[@farmboy5129]

Where are all the pink jeeps? Last time I was there they were all over the place.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Haha. They were there but we only saw about 5. We went during lunch time and a monsoon was rolling in. Slow day apparently.

[@bquade70]

Hit me up when your ready for lake Havasu trails 👍

[@AdventureBuilt]

Will do. Probably when it cools down!!

[@Mediocrity_In_Action]

Is this trail doable with the Eibach Pro lift and 32's?

[@caseymoore303]

Any lift? And did you ever need the locker? Wanting to try this trail out! But I only have a sport

[@AdventureBuilt]

You might need a couple inches of extra clearance otherwise your ass will scrape from the departure angles. Otherwise you are good to go in a sport.

[@superherotoolbox]

Great content brother! How would you say the Ironman set up is doing for you? I’m weighing in on the Bilstein 6112/5160 set-up vs Ironman nitrogen set up. Difference being cost & the added expense of needing UCA’s with the Bilstein route.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hey thanks man. The Ironman setup has been great. Such a drastic improvement. I think the Ironman dollar for dollar is unbeatable.

[@MyVantasticLifeVoyage]

I just got my 2021 TRD off-road do you feel the stock wrangler AT tires it comes with can handle this trail or do I need to upgrade them? It looks like yours are upgraded?

[@AdventureBuilt]

You should be totally fine with the stock tires. You will most likely drag your rear bumper over a view obstacles. Yes my suspension and tires are upgraded. I have a 3” lift and 35” tires and my rear bumper dragged a couple times. It’s a great trail though. Go for it.

[@skrimpdaddy]

Did you have a stock throttle tune on your truck at this time? It seemed stock in the video

[@AdventureBuilt]

Unfortunately it was completely stock gears and tune. I have the 5.29 now and am looking into a tune.

[@skrimpdaddy]

I heard the throttle response it sounded just like mine ( stock) so thanks for the reply, I have been wanting that tune because they swear it gives a more responsive predictable delivery that has got to help with all forms of wheeling

[@cartterlong9464]

Do able in stock offroad with some all terrains slightly over sized?

[@TheRocket0627]

Did you have skid plate scrapes? I currently have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro and am rocking 33s by Nitto Grappler MT and Fuel Ripper 17x8 w/-12 offset wheels. I've got a Fox TRD PRO lift kit by Westcott Designs that adds an additional 1.5" in front and 1" in rear. I'm curious to know if I'd be able to traverse this trail without scraping up my underneath. I do have full skids, LCA skids, and a gas tank skid as well.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hey man nice setup!!! There was another Tacoma out there following me that had a very similar setup and it didn’t look like he was having any issues. Not sure if he scraped the skid plate but if you do it will be a story to tell!!!

[@TheRocket0627]

@@AdventureBuilt Sweet! Thanks for the reply! Who doesn't love a good story 😉🤣

@@AdventureBuilt Waiting on my White Knuckle Off Road Rock Sliders so I can go out and safely play on the trails. Watched your install video on them and it totally sold me on them!

[@thomashernandez2394]

Nice setup on the lift and tires how did you get 35 12.50 17s to fit?

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thanks and lots of fender trimming.

[@danielpelletier3834]

Going down that hill, were you in the lowest gear set up. 4 Low and 1st speed?

[@AdventureBuilt]

Yea definitely in 4LO and 1st gear. You are still gonna slide because of the sand everywhere.

[@robertyoung8289]

Do I hear a little engine knock? She running hot? Try adding a bottle of "water wetter".

[@AdventureBuilt]

That’s a great idea. I thought the knocking could be the engine working hard because of my stock gearing and 35” tires but it could be the heat also. I’ll give it a shot. Thx for the tip.

[@LiveWayOut]

Sick rig, did you hit your sliders at all? I wanna run this but have no sliders on my taco at the moment. Also what tire size and rim setup is that? It is perfection.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hey thank you very much. I really appreciate that. I did not hit my sliders at all on this trail. I scraped my receiver hitch and some of the departure angles but that is it. I have a 2.5” Ironman 4x4 suspension kit, Method 701 Trail Wheels and 35x12.5 r17 Toyo MT tires. It’s a killer package.

[@brandonswogger8446]

@@AdventureBuilt what offset are your wheels?

[@Rickydbaby]

Awesome video! What size Toyo’s are those? 285/70/17? (33’s) or 35’s? Any rubbing? What offset on wheels.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thanks man. They are 35x12.5x17. I run the Method 701 with 0 offset. Still rub a little on the frame. I tried a 1.75” wheel spacer but it rubbed worse on the outer edge of the tire. I took them off.

[@Rickydbaby]

Adventure Built great info. I’m on scs f5 -25mm offset 17x8 wheel I want to go 35 but I’m worried I will rub the fender flares and may have to cut them. I may just go 295’s. You should check out ecgs for your regear. I did with 5.29’s and Harrop e lockers front and rear on my sr5. I watched your cab mount relocate video you’ve got some skills you could deff do the diff swaps yourself. You’ll love 5.29’s on those 35’s I know I do on my heavy 33’s.

[@cesarpadilla1148]

I own the same Tacoma but stock, what suspension are you running? Looks hot!

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you. It’s the Ironman 4x4 stage 2. It’s a really great kit at a reasonable price.

[@TheEpicUnknown..]

Hey whats up guys? I live in the west valley. Really wanting to get into overlanding and making my 2017 forester my project car. I will be getting a newer 4runner to make a primary overlanding rig... What are your thoughts between the 4runner pro vs offroad?

[@AdventureBuilt]

Hey man. I would say that if you are going to upgrade the suspension go with the OffRoad. If you are gonna keep it in stock form go with the Pro since it has the Fox suspension.

[@TheEpicUnknown..]

@@AdventureBuilt Nice. Thx for the feedback.

[@pennsyltuckyden9823]

From some angles the cap looks like it matches and from others it doesn't.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Haha yea it doesn’t match. It’s actually the charcoal grey Tacoma color. It’s so weird at certain angles it looks like a perfect match. Thanks for watching!!!

[@tonystarks3-11]

What is that cracking noise every time your vehicle is articulating? I experience the same noise on mine.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Honestly I can’t pinpoint it. It sounds like it’s coming from my Prinsu Rack but everything is tight. I was thinking it might be from my camper shell also. Still trying to figure it out.

[@tonystarks3-11]

Adventure Built I don’t have a prinsu rack or a camper shell. I have a yakima hd rack and I don’t think it’s coming from the rack. I feel like the sounds comes from when the suspension articulates. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Make a vid of it when you find out. 👍🏼

[@rrrrrrtt1]

100 is not hot. :) Liked the video though.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you very much and that is a definite maybe!!!🥵🥵🥵

[@25falcons]

what type of wheels are those?

[@AdventureBuilt]

They are the Method 701 Trail series

[@claycoolpepper221]

Just curious did you ever need to lock the rear differential?

[@AdventureBuilt]

I did. There were a couple spots that I was trying to crawl up and ended needed a little momentum and the locker. It was really fun.

[@claycoolpepper221]

Adventure Built thanks man. I’m trying to tackle broken arrow in the next couple weeks and I’m trying to gauge how difficult it’ll be. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@Prismahs]

any advice to someone looking to purchase a TRD Offroad Tacoma (like anything u wish you knew before your purchase) THANKS!! :)

[@AdventureBuilt]

Honestly it really depends on your budget. The second gen Tacoma engines are much stronger than the 3rd gen but I love the look of the third gen. Really you can’t go wrong.

@@AdventureBuilt yeah im looking to stay under 39 if at all possible!! thanks for the input love the vids!!

Can a stock 3rd gen 4x4 tacoma do this trail?

[@AdventureBuilt]

Absolutely but you will have some scraping on your rear receiver hitch.

[@Thegravyipass]

Do you need lockers for this trail?

[@AdventureBuilt]

You definitely do not need lockers to do the Broken Arrow Trail. I only have a rear locker and didn’t use it once. It is more about ground clearance and approach angles.

[@Thegravyipass]

@@AdventureBuilt, I appreciate this!

@@Onercd6 absolutely. You might drag your hitch over some of the departures but completely doable.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Ironman 4x4 stage 2 Nitro

[@myronhensel]

Where in the front are you currently rubbing with your 35s?

[@AdventureBuilt]

In the front end I’m only rubbing where the inside of the tire rubs against the frame because of my wheel spacing. I the rear end it is rubbing on the fender flares just a little.

[@myronhensel]

Adventure Built How much did you trim at the front fender/fender flare, about an inch? Also I hear -12 offset with a 4” backspace wheel is the sweet spot.

[@myronhensel]

Adventure Built What is your offset/backspace and width of your wheel?

[@myronhensel]

@@AdventureBuilt Err yea I just put some Kenda Klever 35x10.5" tires and i'm surprised it rubs on the rear when flexing out. I think I will beef up my bumpstop. Are your bumpstops stock?

[@AdventureBuilt]

Myron Hensel nice. Actually my bump stops are stock and haven’t really thought about the. I’ll have to look into it. Thx.

[@Chicknontheroad]

Beautiful area, except for the pink Jeeps. IMO the pink Jeeps are the cancer of Sedona.

[@AdventureBuilt]

Sedona is beautiful and yes and no. They definitely clog up the trails but they do take care of the trails and they won’t close because of the revenue it brings Sedona. Sweet and Sour!!!
