Looks great. I must have missed an episode, why are are you pulling the car?

I assume you have a ceiling fan in your toilet area? If so a trick I learned that helped keep odor down was never flush while the ceiling fan is running. It just pulls those vapors right up and out of the toilet tank.

Is that what the smell are as in my parking lot lolololo. Nope that is not my parking lot must have been my truck lol. Hope you all are having a safe trip

We are looking at the same Thetford as well. Overall, are you happy with it, and would you buy it again? Has the vent fan you installed made a big enough difference? Always great videos. Thanks for sharing 👍

Ooops! Buy a bath sponge to replace the dish sponge! 😂😂😂

Just seen you in Florence ky nice truck

Why the hell do lmtv batteries constantly go bad even if you switch the switch off….

Am I allowed to drive this one?

I've got an older model blue ox - still frustrating, but the arms on mine go WAY wider if needed - so I can be less accurate :)

Glad to see your sense of humor is still intact😜

When I flat tow my samurai, I use a tow bar with a ball hitch. Much less slop.

Real LMTV drivers dont wear flip flops!

Good stuff, Chad! A little mods are always good. “Shield the noise?!” What? Let it rip!

Bigger pintle and a 2.5" anti rattle sandwich plate for the hitch to the drop hitch. That thing will be silent as ever.

I use to have a LMTV M1079 which I have sold. I so happen to have a pintail tow bar that I used to pull my jeep wrangler with. If you’re interested let me know. Love your channel.

A solid several minutes of some hilarious commentary! Thanks for making my whole afternoon better, Chad!

To much stuff in the can but otherwise nice. The ctis wasnt an upgrade it cane with the truck same with the angle gauge.

Chad, get a towel or foam to protect the car from the hitch and connect the hitch to the car first. Then you hook to the truck.

Not being a critic, honest question here, do you talk to yourself that much off camera? No judgement, I do it to.

Chad is your back up camera wired for bluetooth? If it is bluetooth... can you feed it to your phone . so you could see the feed to aid in driving tow car into position for hook up?

a used Uhaul front wheel dolly might, might make your life easier.

why a pintle hitch and not a ball?

STOP!!! you are too close.😁

Great to see you on the road! - If you make it to PA - you have a place to stay in Jim Thorpe! Stop on by, stay a bit, and check out my 1079! Be well and safe travels!!

you are finding out why you don't want to buy an use cheap tools. no to harbor fright junk.

Awesome! And that is one happy puppy!

Hey Chad, Nice to see you made it on the road. If you hit Canada in the fall we have an overland festival up on the great lakes. If you plan a Vermont trip we will be doing a shake down run with our truck later this summer. Stay save out there.

Stoked for you guys and excited to watch your adventures unfold!

Have been enjoying fallowing along with you Chad, and will continue. Out of curiosity, and without getting into specifics, can you talk about how you and your wife prepared to take a year off? I always curious about how people prepare for such large life changes. I don’t know allot about TH-cam, other than very few people can make a living at it. If you ever make it to Petaluma, I have some property and tools if you need a place to camp out. Take care, and we will see you on the next one.

If you’re ever in NE Georgia and need a place to crash I have plenty of room for you to park and stay the night. Besides, I love to see the finished product. I was a big fan of your channel back when I had my LMTV M1079. And the best part is I’m 5 minutes off Interstate 85. Also there’s plenty of places to shop for fuel and supplies. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re interested.

Holy balls. I've done 2 van builds so far and lost track of the hours I put into them. I've built actual houses faster - no joke. Beautiful build. Love that shower door. I wish you many years of enjoyment in this Overlander.

Avoid Hwy 58 in Patrick County, VA, They're currently moving the "mountain"(lol) to complete "Super 58".

Great to see you finally on the road and enjoying all of your hard work on the truck. I look forward to seeing more of your travels and hopefully connecting up some day on your travels or mine once my camper is finished. Cheers, keep having fun.

Good for you guys, If you are ever in Montana you have a driveway to stay in to resupply if needed, and a shop to do any service work on your truck.

If you come through Chattanooga let me know. We have free camping at state parks and I can give you tips from my 5 years on the road.

Good luck y'all! If you ever get the chance, there's some spectacular spots in the PNW y'all should definitely check out, let me know if y'all ever make it to the area, I'll point you in the right direction.

Congratulations! Been waiting for y'all to show your rig in action. It also reminds me to buy shares in Exxon Mobil.

My wife and I live in the central mountains of AZ in Prescott. Awesome climate all year round at 5k ft. Plenty of BLM land and camping!! Casually looking for work? I got into catastrophe insurance adjusting a couple years back, hurricanes, nasty hailstorms like the one you saw the aftermath of. Easy peazy for people with a decent working knowledge of how stuff is built. You can get licensed online, do all your courses on the road. Hit me up when you get into the SW!!

Congrats of finally getting out there :)

I've been watching you from the beginning, glad to see you finally getting to enjoy your ride. I'm finally in a place where I am starting to plan building an LMTV. Does the truck move around much when you walk around? I was wondering if some motor coach stabilizer jacks would be a wise decision for when I get to that point?

acadia national park / Bar harbor is pretty cool

My wife and I did a 6 month roadtrip in 2022. we loved harvest host, It's 100% worth it to stay overnight at 1000s of wineries, breweries, distilleries.

Stay away from any state that uses salt on their roads. It will ruin your truck and your life...

Livin' the dream! Entertaining and informative as always, and thanks for the info (and the reminder) about greasing those front drive shafts. I've not done mine yet... shame on me. Best of luck on your journey and thanks for the video. Lookin forward to the next one.

Acadia national park Maine must see. Outer banks North Carolina.

Don’t miss Acadia National Park in Maine. Get into Bar Harbor and plan some breakfast at 2 Cats restaurant, it’s all good, and don’t miss their biscuits w/strawberry butter. It’ll make you see Jesus. :). Expect a wait because it’s small and REAL popular. Taste of Maine restaurant, just across the river from Bath Iron Works shipyard is a great place for seafood. If you’ve got time for the detour, you shouldn’t miss Mountain Washington in New Hampshire. You won’t be able to take your truck to the top, but they have shuttle vans (recommended), or the Cog Railway. Keep in mind the road is only about 1.75 vans wide and the drop off at any given point is….considerable. :). Well worth the trip.

I'm a couple years into my 6 month build ...

Love watching your travels and adventures. Miss you on the mats, Michelle! -Jessica Fleck

You should come to Alaska, you can stay in my friend’s driveway.
