You can cut a tarp to fit the front of the truck, tuck it under the hood to lock it in, but covering the grill so that when the bow wave crests the hood no water is reaching the engine compartment. Did this fording rivers in the Yukon territory. It's a quick fix, cheap, if you don't have a snorkel.
That shot with the lights on, with the drone flying overhead 38:47 was absolutely the best shot I've seen in the series of what i've watched so far (New viewer here). Really brought a sense of what you were talking about, feeling small in a vast forest. Beautiful.
42:00-03 exactly.....look for it :D (in the middle of the light beam close to the top...furthest away from the vehicle, in the trees, you can see a moose or deer suddenly run to the left!!
I'd like to thank you for a couple things. The emphasis you put on fuel was very important. Any pressure you can put on Toyota to up their MPG game is hugely appreciated. I'd also like to thank you for delving deeper into the topic of water crossings. This program is very educational and inspirational. It's something I can sit down to watch with my girlfriend. She really enjoys it and it helps her to see how awesome a trip like this would be. We'd be happy to join you.
Just breath taking. I've followed y'all from the start and am moved every season. Thank you for sharing such amazing creation and back countey that so many of us will never get to witness in person! Just amazing!
This whole time I've been thinking...man I can't think of a better trip than this...Then I saw those last shots on the airstrip and all I can think is wow! This just looks spectacular!
I watched this the first time within moments of it originally being published on TH-cam....I STILL get chill bumps at that ending..... speechless. You guys are awe inspiring.
I kept checking back to see what was next. I knew you gentlemen would not disappoint. Great job, great adventure! I always say if you can inspire even one person, you have lived a purposeful life. Thank you gentlemen can't wait for the next adventure!!
Beautiful country! and such an awesome adventure! I like how you guys take the appropriate precautions when crossing water or other potential hazardous obstacles. Thats how we do it on the trails, look out for each other and respect the land!
I honestly don't understand the love affair with unleaded shared by you and the majority of your Countryman, when Diesel gets you SO MUCH FURTHER per litre. but dam this has been a great video series. honestly you guys produce the best Overland free video series on the Net. thanks a ton for the good viewing. from down Under with envy.
sprocketdiver Only way your going to have a diesel in a Toyota in the US is to import it yourself or an engine swap. With Toyotas support of the program I'm hoping down the road if/when they travel to another continent they will be in 70 Series rigs with the Turbo Diesel!
If the EXPO world would stop their love affair with Toyotas they would get to experience diesel...the gas MPG on these Toyotas is actually horrendous... Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel Chevy Colorado Diesel Both alternates to the 4Runner and the Tacoma
but the vehicles you mention are far less quality over the Toyotas, I understand Toyota selection. Just not why America puts fuel hungry petrols in them, here in Australia the 200 series land cruzer comes with a twin turbo v8 Diesel, tuned. it makes over a thousand nm of torque and 500kw, at the tyres, yet you can drive 2000km on less than 150L of fuel on the Rd and more than 1500 off
The dealers that want to sell in the US have two really rather tough agencies to deal with, First is the EPA, Environmental Protection Agency and the second would be the DOT itself. Department of Transportation. But yes we know the Tacoma already has the Federal approved impact bumpers in the front and honestly most of us overlanders prefer to remove some if not all of the original front bumper anyways but to have a diesel offering in a Tacoma would be amazing! FWIW, don't even get started on the CARB, and the emissions laws tied to just California vehicles.
I was surprised that with the experience these guys have that they didn’t put snorkel kits on all their rigs like before and a slightly larger lift for clearance and larger and meatier tires for traction.
Love the Channel, amazing filmographie. Pro-tip i drive gravel roads all year long at work for the last 10 years you dont need to air down your tires. I run OEM pressures in my truck tires and i had maybe 2 slow leaks and 1 puncture in 11 years and over 800k km.
Cody Barrett why I do think they definitely deserve a larger audience, Discovery channel (fake, fake, fake) would absolutely ruin this outstanding show.
What's the reason you guy's didn't run snorkels this time? Did you not expect so many water crossings or just knew if you needed a snorkel you wouldn't risk the crossing anyways? Regardless, out of everyone of your guy's videos, this is my favorite so far. I like how you guys didn't take no for an answer and pushed through the deep water anyways. The video quality is ridiculously good and the drone shots at the end made my jaw drop. Also the lighting on the rigs are crazy good!
ChoyFamilyAdventures when I lived in Alaska and we went four wheeling in the backcountry we usually had a couple people that brought neoprene waders just for checking out water crossings and mud holes.
JULIUS K If you know that you're going for to be hammered with mosquitoes, isn't there netting of some sort that you can wear? They get clobbered with mosquitoes every episode.😣
Manny Motta yeah that's an option. I think putting the net will look weird and will be the on way with their activities. After all they're explorer and they had to deal with it lol.
Thanks again for filming a great adventure. Were there any Diesel fuel at Sylvia's or other place on the route? I guess there would be since there are heavy equipment trucks.
Epic adventure. 2 questions: why no snorkels when you know there are lots of water crossings and where is Toby? Keep up the great work guys. God bless.
No that's still a great option and frankly would have been a good idea on a couple of these crossings. ARB makes one in particular for specific vehicles.

All offroad and no highways makes this a real good series.
I also enjoy that the "drama" is toned down.
ShimSham77 Didn't need them, wasted weight/cost, besides they were actually designed for dust in Australia.
+Wild Duck Migrations yup thats 100% accurate.....
34:51
And no Death Metal music or trying to beat the clock. No infighting, just working as a team with no egos spoiling the adventure.
Amateur hour. No snorkel or wenches.
Guys that airstrip footage at night with the airborne camera was absolutely EPIC!
Great job gents!
did you see the moose at 42:00 at the end of the airstrip?
The prediction value on this channel is nothing short of incredible. Keep up the amazing work guys.

No matter how many times I watch the XO team it's always so awesome. It makes me wonder if a Earthroamer can go down this trail?
The last airstrip shots were amazing!
Am I the only one who saw to moose run from the lights? (42:00 - 42:05)
Tyler Puccio definitely a moose
Yeah I saw that too
if you like raw wildlife footage like that.. follow bertabackwoods on instagram
I'm here for this comment
Yeap

last 1 mins of video from drone was so great.
ahmed faseeh for real. so Awesome
Loved the night drone footage of you guys on the airstrip, just awesome.
That shot with the lights on, with the drone flying overhead 38:47 was absolutely the best shot I've seen in the series of what i've watched so far (New viewer here). Really brought a sense of what you were talking about, feeling small in a vast forest. Beautiful.
Those night drone shots at the end are spectacular!
Best episode yet. Airstrip aerials are next level. Well done!
Really slick production guys, great night drone work as well. The airstrip night footage just puts you right there. Thanks for sharing guys
hey that deer on the end of the air strip, awesome,,,,had to play it couple of times!!! just amazing

It's like find out your favorite movie marathon is on woooooo

Just breath taking. I've followed y'all from the start and am moved every season. Thank you for sharing such amazing creation and back countey that so many of us will never get to witness in person! Just amazing!
The drone footage at the end on the air strip is freakn badass.
A tough trip. Amazing job on the filming, editing, and overall production of this video series. Professional grade production values.
They ask for more off road. You ask and you shall receive. This video reminds me of you guys first adventure 3 years ago.
This whole time I've been thinking...man I can't think of a better trip than this...Then I saw those last shots on the airstrip and all I can think is wow! This just looks spectacular!
Keep up the awesome videos guys. Toyotas and the northwest, there is nothing better!
I absolutely idolize this group of overlanders, expeditioneers.
Ye boy! This is the best overland series ever. Even the name is epic, Return to the Mackenzie almost sounds like Return of the Jedi lol.
I watched this the first time within moments of it originally being published on TH-cam....I STILL get chill bumps at that ending..... speechless. You guys are awe inspiring.
I absolutely loved this video !!.. Now that's an adventure I'd love to go on. Great job guys !..
I kept checking back to see what was next. I knew you gentlemen would not disappoint. Great job, great adventure! I always say if you can inspire even one person, you have lived a purposeful life. Thank you gentlemen can't wait for the next adventure!!
Great footage and commitment to finish!! Anyone else see the deer take off at the end of the airstrip?
The night footage from the quad copter was awesome. As always, great job, guys!
I love all your gear ... Really impressive setups !!
the last part of sky shooting is amazing! Awesome job, guys!
drone shot at night was absolutely stunning
Nice! You guys really were working well together and getting it done.
Beautiful country! and such an awesome adventure! I like how you guys take the appropriate precautions when crossing water or other potential hazardous obstacles. Thats how we do it on the trails, look out for each other and respect the land!

There was a Moose at the end of the airstrip near the end of the video, you only see it for about 3-4 seconds at 41:59
Just saw this was already pointed out, though jury is out whether it's a moose or bigfoot.
I've watched these guys from the start , each season gets better keep going , thank you for sharing your adventures
Awesome. Loved the drone shot at the end, on the airstrip.
Nice shot of the moose at the end of the runway, fitting tribute to your adventure
Awesome, just awesome!
An epic adventure , told perfectly through top notch camera work. Glad to see you back on the makenzie, my favorite series thus far!
I love the lack of contrived, reality TV style drama. This is a great series! The music was a bit depressing in the episode, though.
Anybody else see the Moose at the end of the landing strip?
Subscribed. Why? Because this is hands down the most amazing overland channel out there. Not only that Montana boys.
Thank you!
Superb. Great story. Solid videography..
the ending was just spectacular! fantastic work!
Awesome video, loved the airstrip night shots.
12:55 "Being in gear will also help with the river crossing" Hilarious!
This is soooo good. You guys did an awesome job in post and getting brilliant shots.
Nice video, thanks for sharing ✌
Thanks!
Love these videos. The drone airfield shot was awesome! Keep up the great work!
I freaking love you guys and everything you do! Y'all are the best!
Right at 42:00 moose takes off in the shadows at the very end of the runway (from right to left). Cool airal shot!
There is a large animal running from right to left at 42:01 - just off the end of the runway :-)
42:00 moose is right at the edge of where the light cuts off, just past the end of the air strip. wonder if expedition overland even saw it.
Christ you guys reallly are killing it with these edits!!! WOW
Oblivion soundtrack playing in the Tacoma at 39:37 M83 is awesome.
The only thing that bothers me about this trip is I didn't get to go. Thanks for the documentation and sharing it with us. The drone footage is great!
I was surprised that with the experience these guys have that they didn’t put snorkel kits on all their rigs like before and a slightly larger lift for clearance and larger and meatier tires for traction.

Teamwork makes the dreamwork!
Teamwork and dedication! way to go guys
Those crossings without a snorkle were dicey as hell.
"trail intell" and "make comms", c'mon guys. Other than the OTT tactical talk it's a great series. From Australia , Cheers.
Awesome episode! The drone shots are amazing!
отличное видео,как всегда. молодцы,класс!
Dang, that was inspiring. Great job with the whole production. Can't wait to see what happens next. cheers
the terrain was very very difficult good job guys you guys are super humans.
I like the moose at the end
Looks like an amazing time!! Big props! Enjoy all the vids!
So glad that the series is back! Can't wait to get to a point where I can do some exploring myself... Looking forward to more! 73 de KC1AEI
This needs to be on the discovery channel!
Cody Barrett why I do think they definitely deserve a larger audience, Discovery channel (fake, fake, fake) would absolutely ruin this outstanding show.
More wheeling footage, thank you! Awesome adventure.

The video quality is ridiculously good and the drone shots at the end made my jaw drop. Also the lighting on the rigs are crazy good!
42:01 in you can see a moose out where the headlights fade dead center of screen!!!
minute 39:40 m83 - oblivion, RULES!!! lol cheers.
41:39 on, deserves an Oscar.
great job on the videos!
Yes. Awesome teamwork
You should consider New Foundland and Labrador for your next trip, maybe starting in Key West , I have enjoyed all your videos
Well just watching to this point. A few of us are now going to be doing this trail... Epic!
Good luck and have a ton of fun!
Will you guys be loading the map up to Hema?
you guys need to get some chest waders so you stay dry :) ... great video.
ChoyFamilyAdventures when I lived in Alaska and we went four wheeling in the backcountry we usually had a couple people that brought neoprene waders just for checking out water crossings and mud holes.
For some reason I was feeling those mosquitos on my face too. Great trail run guys... continued...

I remember that area from the other expedition. It looks almost the same as last.
Sinking the chain saws in water is probably not the best idea just saying
Water crossings are epic!
Epic adventure. 2 questions: why no snorkels when you know there are lots of water crossings and where is Toby? Keep up the great work guys. God bless.
just freakin awesome footage.....great job!!!
Excellent video, excellent work. Question: old school was to put a tarp on the front of the rig before a river crossing; is this not done anymore?
No that's still a great option and frankly would have been a good idea on a couple of these crossings. ARB makes one in particular for specific vehicles.
ExpeditionOverland what map layer you guys use on hema explorer
Safari Snorkel has to get their act together and release a snorkel for the 5th gen 4Runner.
My Buddies Dad lives a couple miles up the dirt road from sylvias great offroading around their especially in the winter.
Absolutely love your videos. Cheers. From BC.
Just watching the mosquitos makes my neck and head itch!!
34:00 ------ SNORKEL ... maybe?
Pretty wicked guy's trip!
beautiful videography !
