I’m not a Kia fan or hater however hats off to you, the local dealership and the shop you’re working with on this build. You’re the real deal and if an entity wants to introduce a new product to this community, they should partner with people such as yourself. Although the Telliuride seems like an awesome vehicle there is plenty of proven competition out there this will have to go against. I’m a proud ‘12 Tundra 4x4 owner so I may not be in the market for this type of vehicle however someone like my daughter with a growing family may be interested especially after seeing what the vehicle could become, as well as see it in action with real use from real folks. She is currently looking at the Subaru Ascent or a mid size truck. This series has brought curiosity toward this model.
Thanks, Carlos. I really appreciate the kind words. I am enjoying this opportunity and the vehicle has been great so far. I agree...it is a tough market but I hope that I can put this vehicle to the test and see what all the Telluride can do.
@@kilo5overlanders no this is the off-road progression from a Tacoma to more of a overlanding with air condition and comfort. If it can do what a 4runner can do I would rather drive this as my everyday instead of the Tacoma or 4runner and especially a Jeep
Jason you are a gifted storyteller, photographer and videographer. Having only spent one week on the Oregon coast and finding it literally life-changing, I’m so happy to find your channel and get to enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work, man! Have you thought about adding a Patreon to support your channel?
Primal Outdoors - Camping and Photography Thanks for your reply and just saw your video about supporting your channel. BTW, I know it’s already done on your build, but here is how a video from another Kia Telluride owner on how he did the 7-pin conversion th-cam.com/video/HImHBByyGgU/w-d-xo.html I’m hoping Kia gets some input from experienced recreational users and it helps them develop the Telluride more. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but the ease of access and adding the lift to the suspension is encouraging.
Thanks for the link. Tim is putting out some great instructional videos as he works on his Telluride! Yes, Wanderlust was able to do some of the modifications with great ease and that is really encouraging when it comes to after market development of gear.
Jason, it is great to see that Ron Tonkin reached out to you to test their new entry into the outdoor mainstream. You are a very "straight up" guy and an excellent representative of the overland and outdoor adventure community. You make extremely high quality videos and I am absolutely certain that you will do us all proud and provide some great opportunities for everyone to see what these vehicles are capable of. I am looking forward to seeing where this all goes. Take care my friend and thanks for sharing your adventures and challenges with us.
Thanks! I am very fortunate to have this opportunity and it has been a blast building this thing out. I cannot wait to get more content out to you all so that you can see what the Telluride is capable of. I am glad you are enjoying the videos. Take care.
I just saw you guys at Overland West! Very Impressive. And I just bought my wife an SX model. I had to pry her hands off her JK Rubicon (alterior motives lol) and she just loves it. I love the sport mode option. Thanks for sharing. Aloha
This is such an interesting project. I'm really looking forward to how it holds up after good usage and loaded up. The videography was excellent. Thanks!
Absolutely love this....we have a 2019 KIA Sportage and love this car. It handles great on gravel roads and pavement...fantastic gas mileage (24-26mpg)...and for the ride itself....if I don't use the cruise control...I would get alotta tickets...you can be doing 90 and not know it...lol
I saw that video and really enjoyed it! The vehicle has been really impressive so far and I'm really enjoying testing it as I travel around. This whole project has been very exciting.
My brother turned me on to your channel last year. I really enjoy your videos. I'm going to drive out your way as soon as I perfect my camp setup. I've made my 1st test run to Florida in January and discovered a couple faults. I like the changes to the Telluride.
Seeing what that vehicle started as and what it turned out to be in the end in AMAZING!! The wrap is just insane! I don't think anyone could have foreseen this turning out this good. This summer's camping video's are going to be interesting for sure. Can't wait for the next video to come out!! I think you working with this Telluride just upped their sales!!
Jeep Rubicon owner. I think you guys did a nice job on the Telluride. Looks good. Might be what is needed to get someone to start exploring with theirs. I would try to add rock sliders and modify the rear bumper. The bumper hangs low which might be a problem in the wrong rock or ledge Nice job overall. Love the channel.
My husband & I are wondering if it possibly needs more lift. Seems that it is super close to rubbing, when you go over a bump with the trailer attached. But it is beautiful! Love the graphics & everything they’ve done so far looks great! We’ve been trying to talk our daughter, who moved to CO a few months ago, to get a Telluride. We are happy for you Jason!
Kudos to you & the guys at the shop. Awesome job they did on the car. Really, i am so impressed with quaility& workmanship. Ive built a few 4x4s up but, these guys rock. Cheers from B.C. Canada
Even though it’s a loaner and you didn’t replace the 250, I was hesitant when you started w/ the Telluride. But damn, Wanderlust Overland did a great job and I love seeing a new vehicle getting in to the lifestyle.
Not something I'd buy, but I like the fact that you are getting the opportunity to do this sort of thing. It's been fun watching your channel grow. Hopefully I can catch up with you at the Overland Rally in WA this year.
Well Jason that's a great transformation of the Kia telluride. I love what both shops have done to it. You must be excited to show us where you've taken it. You said earlier that you was going to hells canyon is that still in the works before the expo. Yes I'm still a fan of the Ford but a change for awhile will be good too. Seemed like you never was going to get it back.
Thanks, Dave. I am really impressed with the transformation and am really excited to see where all I can take it. I did make it out to Hells Canyon (the thumbnail is a picture taken there) and next weeks video will feature there. The Old Ford will be back in videos soon as I plan to rotate both on my adventures.
Loved the build and love the vehicle. Just curious. What was used for the roof rack for install? I love that rack and wouldn’t mind getting that for my own Tellruide. Any chance of knowing what was used to actually install it?!!
Turned out great Jason, kinda reminds me a little of my JL Rubicon build with many of the same components. Enjoy that new ride because I know those Dogs will.
The Telluride looked like a pogo stick going down that dirt road. The spring rate should’ve been increased quite a bit to compensate for all the extra weight. I’ll be watching for more updates on this build and your adventures. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
David, we added some air bags last week and that seems to have helped quite a bit but we will see how everything goes on the way to Expo and then once I have the Drifter Trailer hooked up and heading to Moab.
Rory Mundy Rory Mundy Hi-Lift jacks can lift, pull, and crush. All of which can be used a number of ways. With a winch kit you can use it as a 7 ton winch. With a wheel adapter you can lift a wheel to place the vehicle on a jack stand or to fill in the hole below the wheel for traction. You can use it on your trailer, to free a stuck chainsaw, etc
Jason, your intro was tremendous. I wouldn’t have thought a KIA would be a good off road choice, but damn, it is pretty cool! The color and graphics were perfect and the off road additions were tastefully done. Can’t wait to see the video from the expo.
I plan on doing something similar to my 2011 sportage nothing crazy just want a little more ground clearance for those Maine Winters because apologizing to my car after hitting our road craters known as potholes is getting old lol the Tellride looks beautiful
Great channel. Super good content, esp regarding the Telluride - this car is captivating a lot of attention and you're doing a great job of providing a lot of insight into it's capabilities while living the life!
Tell us more about it's drive-train options - engine(s), transmission(s), differential(s), transfer case (?), all-wheel/4-wheel drive options/modes. Show us how it handles low-traction situations.
Excellent. Great video to talk about all the tweaks. Neat that you guys are spearheading the upgrades foe the platform. Hope the aftermarket and KIA itself, recognize it and cater to light off-road applications such as this. Rocksliders and maybe an LED light bar coming later? ;P
Thanks, Ron. It was awesome to be able to see the upgrades come to life. As far as rocksliders go...it is a unibody vehicle so I am not sure where they would mount to...we will see what the aftermarket brings!
Finally we see the Kia transform! Great video! As always great montage and soundtrack. I always enjoy those. Can't wait to see the Kia in action on a photo hunt. Also, could we find out a bit about the music you are using?
Hi There. That is something we are going to address with Wanderlust when I get back from my Expo adventures. I will update everyone once we get that one.
I just got back from a weekend getaway with my family. We had planned a short hike that is supposed to have an amazing view at the summit. Problem was that the drive to the trailhead was over a rather rough dirt and rocky road and the tail end of it still had snow. Our poor car got manhandled by the road and in the end couldn't get through the snow, so we had to turn back. The whole way I was thinking, "If only I had that sweet modded Telluride! I was also really wishing I had the center lane assist and smart cruise control on the 3 hour drive between home and the cabin.
@@redpilledpatriot8484 I get that the 4runner is far more capable than the Telluride off road. My challenge is that I will use the car 90% on road and 10% on. And the Telluride is a far superior on road vehicle while still being reasonably capable for on rough off-roads (though not rock climbing, which I won't be doing, anyway).
Love your videos and we'll be following a similar path since we sold our 4x4 sprinter and are going to try and scale down to car camping an possibly tow a tear drop like yours, anyway we are getting an Telluride SX and the dealer is going to lift it, put better tires and a roof rack, hopefully similar to your build but I cannot locate internal dimensions when the seats are all folded down, 3rd and 2nd row. We plan to sleep in the rig alot and want o design a mattress to either go in between the wheel wells or possible over the top, can you give us the measurements of the distance between wheel wheels? Ours will have 2nd row buckets so we'll have to come up with something to put between the 2nd row buckets to support the bed. Also I'd like your thoughts on going down to 18" tires vs leaving the 20" wheels and just replacing the tires. Thanks again great job with the videos! We spent most of last year on the road, 34,000 miles in the US and Canada , mainly like to boon-dock so your camping style of roaming especially appeals to us and we value your observations greatly and being preofessional photographers and drone pilots we love your content, you can see ours on Instagram and TH-cam at vangonow. Thanks again.
Beautiful, i been trying to do some work on my 2015 sorento for like a year n change but no lift kit options and hard to find parts to do what i want to make it how i want
Agreed, looks pretty good. There are some things that could be better but the lack of aftermarket for cars like this makes it tough. Do you have info or a link for those knobs you used for your high lift etc? I couldn’t find them when I was searching. Thanks!
It looks sharp, came out great. It looks undersprung in the rear with all the weight and kinda bouncy. I'd be interested in hearing about the 4 wheel drive system, is there a low range?
How did you attach the rhinorack to the roof? Did you have to screw into the roof or were you able to use the factory flush rails? Looking to do the exact same thing but really don't want to screw into the roof. Do you know the measurements of the two different heights you had to use for mounting? Thanks
Love the Overland potential of the Telluride with these mods yet still kicking it as a SUV on the road. Did you all just disable all the front sensors or were you all able to keep them all running without problems?
Excellent start... Love the additions and still love the SUV! Go Primal Outdoors and go Kia Telluride!
Thanks!
From a proud Kia Owner I approve this message...and from a Land Rover Owner a say nice truck.
Thanks!
This aint a truck, a crossover i suppose
The fab work and graphics look great, you may need a bit more spring in the rear to support the camper weight, great job everyone!
Thanks! Yes, we are addressing that tomorrow!
This is the most awesome Telluride I’ve seen. Kia just HAVE to change the KIA logo for the Korean version with just the “K”.
I’m not a Kia fan or hater however hats off to you, the local dealership and the shop you’re working with on this build. You’re the real deal and if an entity wants to introduce a new product to this community, they should partner with people such as yourself.

I’m a proud ‘12 Tundra 4x4 owner so I may not be in the market for this type of vehicle however someone like my daughter with a growing family may be interested especially after seeing what the vehicle could become, as well as see it in action with real use from real folks. She is currently looking at the Subaru Ascent or a mid size truck. This series has brought curiosity toward this model.
Thanks, Carlos. I really appreciate the kind words. I am enjoying this opportunity and the vehicle has been great so far. I agree...it is a tough market but I hope that I can put this vehicle to the test and see what all the Telluride can do.
Looks like the first step in the natural offroad progression that leads to the eventual purchase of a Jeep or a 4runner.
Preferably a 4runner
Jeep
@@kilo5overlanders no this is the off-road progression from a Tacoma to more of a overlanding with air condition and comfort. If it can do what a 4runner can do I would rather drive this as my everyday instead of the Tacoma or 4runner and especially a Jeep
Clearly you’ve never been inside one, otherwise I think you’d change your mind on both lol
That is much more impressive than I anticipated! Tonkin made a good choice asking you to spotlight their vehicle!!!
Thanks! I really appreciate that and am glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. There is a great team behind this vehicle.
Jason you are a gifted storyteller, photographer and videographer. Having only spent one week on the Oregon coast and finding it literally life-changing, I’m so happy to find your channel and get to enjoy your videos.

There is some impressive talent behind this Telluride. Major kudos to Wanderlust Overland.
Thanks, it was a great team effort...Wanderlust did an amazing job.
Love how this turned out! Slowly working on our 2016 Honda Pilot towards something like this so we can take our kids out and enjoy nature!

Can’t wait my Telluride SX coming end of this month. Great video!! Keep Up!!!
Great build on a decent family SUV for great escapes and functional, nothing over the top.

Thanks, Jory. I am super excited to get it out and see what it can do this summer. It has been an amazing transformation!
Would you be willing to give at least a range of what the cost for the mods were?
Awesome stuff Jason - congrats on all the success with the channel. Excited to see what you do over the next year!
Thanks!
Primal Outdoors - Camping and Photography also that opening sequence was great! Ron Tonkin getting their money's worth there!! :-)
Jeep Rubicon owner.
I think you guys did a nice job on the Telluride. Looks good. Might be what is needed to get someone to start exploring with theirs.

Thanks, Shannon. Yes, we are working on that issue...hope to have a solution soon. It is a great vehicle...I have been super impressed so far!
@@PrimalOutdoors, you need a weight distributing hitch.
That wheelspin in the intro, a good illustration of the difference between AWD and 4WD, I believe.
Unibody vs frame lol offroad wiyh a unibody your in for some surprises
New flash! Whether it be an AWD or 4WD vehicle, you honna have some wheel spin in any given terrain or weather conditions.
It's more of an illustration of lockers vs no lockers. Unless you have differential lockers the tire with the least grip will spin.
This Telluride looks sick!
They really nailed it with the graphics. The color palette 🎨 was on point.
Thanks! I think they nailed it too!
Love it. I've been checking TH-cam daily just to see if you'd posted this, yet. It was worth the wait. Now I'm impatient to see it in action! :)
Don't worry...you won't have to wait long.
Awesome! Very excited to see more. Thanks Jason!
Thanks, Ozzie!
Now THAT'S an intro!!! Had to stop the video first minute in to comment. wow
Hahahaha, Thanks Johnny! Glad you are enjoying it!
I think this thing is gonna take off with sales, I'm really excited for it!
Thanks, I am pretty excited as well. This has been a great experience so far!
Look's Really Awesome, Jason. I Truly Like the Color's and how they did the Graphic's on it. To me It made it look very good now 😲❕
I am so excited about how the graphics turned out. I think it fits the vehicle's color scheme perfectly.
Love, Love, Love it. Love the rims. The graphics are awesome. Can't wait to see more. Enjoy it.
Thanks, Mark. I can say I am enjoying it quite a bit and look forward to getting more videos out with it!
Kudos to you & the guys at the shop. Awesome job they did on the car. Really, i am so impressed with quaility& workmanship. Ive built a few 4x4s up but, these guys rock. Cheers from B.C. Canada
That custom bumper is sick.
Cool opportunity ....smart to take advantage
Thanks! I am really enjoying this opportunity.
Even though it’s a loaner and you didn’t replace the 250, I was hesitant when you started w/ the Telluride. But damn, Wanderlust Overland did a great job and I love seeing a new vehicle getting in to the lifestyle.
Your dogs are riding in style! Very cool.
Thanks...yes...they are!
Honestly, Kia should make this a factory option. Most badass family hauler ever!
We ain’t in Kansas anymore... that Sir is a sick build. They did a great job on her.
Thanks, I could not agree more.
Not something I'd buy, but I like the fact that you are getting the opportunity to do this sort of thing. It's been fun watching your channel grow. Hopefully I can catch up with you at the Overland Rally in WA this year.
Thanks, I am glad you are enjoying the channel. Yes, I plan to be at Overland Rally.
Hey Jason, proud of ya bud. Good on ya, glad to see the new sponsorship...
Thanks, Robert!
It is an awesome adventure for you man! I'm glad we all get to come along for the ride!
Thanks, Jeff. I am glad you all are along with me!
Great upgrade for a great car. Thanks for the video.
Well Jason that's a great transformation of the Kia telluride. I love what both shops have done to it. You must be excited to show us where you've taken it. You said earlier that you was going to hells canyon is that still in the works before the expo. Yes I'm still a fan of the Ford but a change for awhile will be good too. Seemed like you never was going to get it back.
Thanks, Dave. I am really impressed with the transformation and am really excited to see where all I can take it. I did make it out to Hells Canyon (the thumbnail is a picture taken there) and next weeks video will feature there. The Old Ford will be back in videos soon as I plan to rotate both on my adventures.
@@PrimalOutdoors thanks Jason I live in Junction City and Indian crossing is one of my favorite camping places
Loved the build and love the vehicle. Just curious. What was used for the roof rack for install? I love that rack and wouldn’t mind getting that for my own Tellruide. Any chance of knowing what was used to actually install it?!!
Very impressed. I really like this car.
Need a LED light bar up top to light up those dark bumpy trails at night.
Great stuff Jason. Looks like you are going to have a lot of fun in that beast
Thanks, James. It has been very fun so far and I can't wait to get it out more.
Turned out great Jason, kinda reminds me a little of my JL Rubicon build with many of the same components. Enjoy that new ride because I know those Dogs will.
Thanks, Craig!
Good job guys 🇨🇦
Thanks, Peter.

David, we added some air bags last week and that seems to have helped quite a bit but we will see how everything goes on the way to Expo and then once I have the Drifter Trailer hooked up and heading to Moab.
How does the high lift jack work if you have no jack points on front and rear bumper? Otherwise looks like a solid vechicle
Rory Mundy Rory Mundy Hi-Lift jacks can lift, pull, and crush. All of which can be used a number of ways. With a winch kit you can use it as a 7 ton winch.

Where is expo, and date?
Expo is May 17-19th in Flagstaff, AZ

Alex, awesome...thanks for the ideas! I will work on addressing those
Thanks
Its nice to see something different 👍🏼
I agree...this has been a great project!
Dude, I’d like to see an overland build on a new Sportage, haha.
Lookin’ good! Excited to see the new adventures you’ll take us on with your new ride!
Thanks, Kevin.
Amazing. Great job by all. I can’t wait to see it at Overland Expo
Thanks! Yes, stop by...MV21 is the booth number.
Gorgeous steakers isn't it. Also It looks good for any other upgrade. Excellent advice by tunning team too!
Excellent. Great video to talk about all the tweaks. Neat that you guys are spearheading the upgrades foe the platform. Hope the aftermarket and KIA itself, recognize it and cater to light off-road applications such as this. Rocksliders and maybe an LED light bar coming later? ;P

Two words. Nailed it.

Thank you for sharing this , cant wait to see it in action.
Stay tuned. More videos are coming
Finally we see the Kia transform! Great video! As always great montage and soundtrack. I always enjoy those. Can't wait to see the Kia in action on a photo hunt. Also, could we find out a bit about the music you are using?
This thing is bad ass
I have to agree with you on that!
I'm so glad your channel is getting attention.
Attention you deserve of course 👍👌
Thank you!
the question is: where did the radar sensor for the cruise control go? it used to be EXACTLY where the winch is now and I can't see it anywhere?
Hi There. That is something we are going to address with Wanderlust when I get back from my Expo adventures. I will update everyone once we get that one.
Suuuuh Wheat ride Jason. Look forward to seeing your adventures with it.
Thanks!
Have a long time fun with your new Rigg! Very nice finish and parts.
Best Regards, Alfred
Thanks, Alfred!
Great video and vehicle, I wish I had one!
Looks pretty sweet. Looking forward to seeing your vids of this thing in use.
Thanks, Thomas. I am looking forward to creating quite a few in the near future.
well done! Looks great!
Thanks, Ryan!
Looking good! Excited to see it in your adventures.

It was great to see all this build details ! I love exotic overland rigs ;)
Thanks!
Will the 265/60/18 size tire work without the 2” spacer lift? Want to do tires first then the lift later if possible. Thanks!
Like the build, especially the graphics work. Really clean and nice looking.
Thanks, Antonio.
Freaking awesome!!!!
Love the graphics and all the modifications. Definitely taking notes and saving this video for future reference.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job guys...

Excellent Video Ty...
Thanks, Steve.
Love the winch bumper. Is there anything like it available on the aftermarket right now?
Beautiful, i been trying to do some work on my 2015 sorento for like a year n change but no lift kit options and hard to find parts to do what i want to make it how i want
Great job on the build looks sharp and functional.
Thanks, James. I am really excited about it.
Looks like a beast love the videos need that shop to add some airbags for all that weight
Kc...it is like you are here. Guess what she is going in for tomorrow? Hahahaha
Jason, great video editing! I bet it took a lot of time to film the welding and all that. Terrific!
Thanks, John. It was a great project to film.
It turned out looking preeetty dang good Jason!!
Thanks, it turned out pretty rad.
Agreed, looks pretty good. There are some things that could be better but the lack of aftermarket for cars like this makes it tough.
Do you have info or a link for those knobs you used for your high lift etc? I couldn’t find them when I was searching.
Thanks!
What a great build. Really interesting platform to work with.
Thanks, Don. I agree...this has been a great project.
It looks sharp, came out great. It looks undersprung in the rear with all the weight and kinda bouncy. I'd be interested in hearing about the 4 wheel drive system, is there a low range?
How did you attach the rhinorack to the roof? Did you have to screw into the roof or were you able to use the factory flush rails? Looking to do the exact same thing but really don't want to screw into the roof. Do you know the measurements of the two different heights you had to use for mounting? Thanks
Love the Overland potential of the Telluride with these mods yet still kicking it as a SUV on the road. Did you all just disable all the front sensors or were you all able to keep them all running without problems?
