- In this video, we spend a day with the R4T crew at Wheeler Lake in Colorado. We take our newest build, which is the 2022 Toyota Tundra. The Tundra does some light rock crawling and gets stuck and has to be winched out.
Our crew comprises a few 5th gen 4Runners, 3rd gen Tacoma, 3rd gen 4Runner, and a 2022 Tundra.
ive never seen so many people in such well-built vehicles struggle on such moderate looking trails lol just goes to show doesn't matter how much you spend on modifications that driver mod is the most important one.
Lol my Baja’s helped me get up all the obstacles. 🤣
Welcome to the new age of “overlanding”, where dip shits tear up expensive vehicles the bank owns. Cant even go on Colorado trails anymore because of all the congestion. So sad, Colorado was magnificent.
Also these rigs are so weighed down. You can tell how heavy they seem on the trail. Less weight the better when you are off roading.
Never been to Colorado but I'm sure it's similar to Washington state. From my experience I will say the camera even 4 k ones will never do it justice on how hard the trail really looks.
Well built ?? With no lockers ?? Spending money on things that don't matter like a 2k roof top tent.
This video is a perfect example of why wheel base length along with approach and departure angle when off-roading is so important. You can buy the best upgrades for your truck won’t change the dimensions of you’re truck.
I tried to tell him lol. Kings & Total Chaos shit don’t make your car shorter. 😂
That's true; the best upgrades won't change the dimensions of you are truck.
I love these videos! Y’all out there, testing your rigs and yourselves. Eating awesome food. Enjoying camaraderie and life. More please!
Last time he’ll take the tundra on anything but a fire road or the highway. 😂
You definitely want to have at least one locker on this trail and this video proves it. Throttle control goes a long way too!
ATRAC/MTS is seriously good though. It is capable of delivering more power to the wheel with traction than a locker.
@@JulietHotelFoxtrot I've used ATRAC and it does not replace an actual locker. A locker will provide traction to both sides simultaneously without any delay. I've experienced instances where ATRAC can cause you to fail an obstacle because of delay or one side spinning too fast while the other has no power. I owned an FJ Cruiser with ATRAC and then a Jeep Rubicon with dual lockers after that, the FJ could not compare to the amount of stable control the Rubicon had, but reliability was a whole other story..
@@dirttales A locker by design must send half the power going to the axle to each wheel, regardless of if it needs it or not. ATRAC/MTS can brake the spinning wheel, which leaves nearly all remaining power to go to the traction wheel. So on a rear axle, it will send nearly 50%, less friction losses. Implementations vary over the years, each year getting better than the previous, with the best execution of this on vehicles with a locking center diff.
@@JulietHotelFoxtrot I know how ATRAC works, but in real life use an actual locker is going to work the best. There is a reason why rock crawlers use dedicated lockers vs electronic control systems. Plenty of info on this..
@@JulietHotelFoxtrot Also if the system works so well, then why does anyone who really gets into wheeling, IE rock crawling etc installs an actual locker when they already have these systems in play? Plenty of Toyota owners even go as far as installing a front locker when they already have ATRAC and a rear locker. If Toyota was confident in ATRAC being the best they wouldn't bother putting a rear locker into the FJ Cruiser or other models like the 4Runner Trail edition or TRD's...
You guys had fun. Another great vid. Keep them coming.
Beautiful rigs. Tundra driver is scared to wheel that beast! Needs more protection to feel more at ease.
Love to see it out there doing work!
Looks like so much fun. I won’t be attempting it in my tundra tho 😳 might have to find me a FJ safe travels 🤙🏼
Such an awesome build can't wait to do something similar with my 22 tundra
Loved the video man! I watched the whole thing. I hope to be doing this someday here soon!
That flopper section though 🤙😅
Damn that’s video boys and girls. That beast was wicked good for being full size. You guys know how to have a good time with some damn good food. Keep it up you guys are killing it.
Appreciate the comment, We're just having fun.
Tundra dude just needs to except the fact that part of wheeling is jacking your stuff up. It’s the nature of it.
Bro is still in the honeymoon phase
Tundra dude is noob.
Maybe when you’re in your 1993 jeep Cherokee.
@@TheNotorious9 that’s R4T’s tundra. My guess is it’s not his truck. Twon or the main guy who is doing the camera work and talking is usually driving it but was recording for this video so the guy they got to drive the R4T tundra it’s not his truck so he’s just being super careful and doesn’t wanna damage a brand new expensive truck that’s not even his. That’s just my guess but I could be wrong.
@@mpleau I have a 18 Taco and 22 4R. You push the skill of your driver and the limits of your truck you’re going to dent, bend and break things.
That is the nice sounded cars. I don't see 4runner with 4cylinder block in it driving as nice as this legend
Just watched the full video. Gives me an urge to go off-roading
Finally some 2022 action!
That hole at 56:50 is the Wheeler Group mine. They mined uranium and gold but I’m unsure of the years it was operational. There’s a bunch of other mines near the mill at the start, just takes some climbing to get to them
Sick video guys! Much respect for your rigs. I’m in NOCO and need to make it over that way sometime for sure!
Nice video, glad you guys made it back down with no incidents. I met you guys when you were changing that tire, random Gladiator :)
Oh HI 👋
You guys make me nervous😮😮. Awesomeness 💪💪💪
Man, bro let's get over that rock while everyone watches! Brrooo yeah. If we weren't doing this we'd be racing our subies at 20mph whoaaaah
It is inspiring seeing the skillful driver maneuver the whale of a Tundra with no crazy tall lift suspension or 40+ tires. Is that rig outfitted with 2" front suspension lift (and 1" rear) and 35" AT tires? The driver really working the rock sliders like he's skiing up Colorado powder. Crazy. I never dare imagine crawling my Ram 1500 like this fella.
This has 3-inch kings all around.
Sweet video. Wow nice lunch !! Off-road in style.
nice video.. thanks for sharing.!
*oversized wheels getting physically stuck inside wheel well... "is your locker on?"
All the gear, no idea.
A lot of people talking shit here. But for overland rigs and not having any lockers. Y’all did great I’d say. Keep posting! Got a new follower.
A lot of people have not even been on this trail but are quick to judge. We took the tundra to see how capable it is not because we think we are cool and just taking a full-size truck on a difficult trail lol. Enjoy the content. Thank you.
Leroy aint ready!
I just saw I tundra do some wicked trails in Moab! 🤘🏽
"HEY LOCK YO DIFF AND GO!" HE DON'T HAVE LOCKING DIFF- "OOH OH". LOL!!! Had me rollin'! Something I wouldn't I want to hear sitting on 2 wheels! LOL
Man! Nice Tundra! There's nothing like trying to crawl up rocks. Right after you, drive through mud and sand. Its definitely NOT easy, with wet gritty tires. Especially with the extra weight of a full size rig.
The tundra is a beast dude, I would have loved to convoy with you guys on that trail with my Tundra !
Cool video. Thanks for sharing your experience. Question. Were your rock sliders on the Tundra attached to the frame or the body of the truck? They seemed to have saved the day. ???
They are attached to the frame.
That thing is a unit
Finding a good line and understanding how the trucks articulate is important. I often see that the person who is spotting tend to lead the driver on a bad line. Personally, I like to see the line before attempting.
Tundra owner has 30k worth of gear upgrades and doesnt know how to change his own tire? 🤣 All show, no go
But them Baja’s tho. 🤣
Video reinforces the fact that lighter is better when wheeling. I wonder how a lifted GX460 or 470 without heavy stuff wouldve handled these trails
Someone get these guys more lights and they'll get through the trail easier
If I had 6 LP6’s I would’ve walked up those obstacles ong. 😤
Great video
what goes up, must come down. also everyone pretty much needed high clearance bumpers lolz
Need more lights tbh. Would’ve walked up every rock, but alas we all had a lumen deficiency.
That jack location looked sketchy af
I was looking for this comment lolll
Emphasis on "sketchy" 🤣🤣
Lmao it’s quite possibly the most sketchy jack on the aftermarket, but seeing that the tundra didn’t even bring his own spare, we were workin with what we had. 🤣
Also I love how they were all “holding up” the truck…dude you aren’t holding up that tundra. It’s like 5 tons with all that equipment and racks
Lol tundra guy is all show 😂
does the tundra have any lockers?
SEND IT!
I will never understand? If you have rear lockers and or front lockers SET THEM UP BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY TRAIL. Why do damage to you truck 🚚 because you never set it up before you ATTEMPT the obstacle. I'm just saying boys if you have it us it 🤷 The Banks boy's
Hey man i know this is an older video but what sliders were on the Tundra? I want them for mine. This video could be used as an ad for them!
Even if you get your vehicle dented or flipped over, this is what these vehicles were made for not those 90% pavement princess crap...unless it a sport model.
We had fun, but haters gon hate.
@@Runnin4Tacos Damn, I just replied to you and accidently clicked the refresh button :(
How did you pull up the 4Runner SR5 with no recovery points ?
The tundra has a long wheelbase not as nimble as other trucks..
FJ driver needs to stop driving like it's a Civic... Just keep the throttle steady
Yeah, such a ricer. He should stop wheeling and buy a s2000 or something.
What rear bumber does that white 3rd gen tacoma have?
Tundra is just 2 big for a lot of trails.
*all trails
No stabilisation on the camera ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ feel like I bounced over the rocks with the trucks lol
I did watch the whole vid and enjoyed it :) 👍
Lmao the commentary 🤣🤣🤣
Totally made me not want a tundra
The spotter on the Tundra doesn’t discern lines or the vehicle he is spotting “your good” means your about to tear your shit up
Как вы думаете какая подвестка надежнее зависимая или независимая ?
The white taco what tires is he running? Thanks
What tires are on the tundra?
No way in hell would I put a 70K+ truck rock crawling, off road yes but not that lol
What's the bumper on the tundra
Tundra dude needs a lot of practice. I bet that was an expensive trip for him
Bro...what was up wit the Walmart pajama pant guy???🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
Show some 3rd gen action next time! 🤙🏼
We will! Tuan had to film this time so he couldn't drive.
Did you do a body chop for the rrw with 0 offset or does it work with that inner nub in the wheel well?
BMC is required.
@@Runnin4Tacos and just confirming that’s worth 35s or are those 37s?
@@flo_verland618 That is 37s
@@Runnin4Tacos thank you
Does the 5 link suspension on the tundra hang to low or get in the way of rock crawls?
The fact that it’s a full size truck is what gets in the way. Way too big, heavy, and long to be rock crawlin. Weight is your enemy. The lightest and most nimble short wheel base is the way to go for rock crawling. Bringing a rooftop tent and every piece of gear and the kitchen sink isn’t the smartest for the rocks. But these are overlanders just hitting different moderate trails. They usually avoid the really technical hard stufff. Nothing wrong with that tho. Know your rig and why and how you built it for the type of off roading you do.
Yeah was just thinking my 08 Tacoma could’ve flown up what the tundra got stuck on 😂 sick rig though
Need more boost..lol
Damn what does this dude do to afford this truck?
I'll never understand this..how is this accomplishing anything
Lol what a bad day for that tundra.
Someone get that clunking third gen a new flex plate.
What bed rack is on that Tundra?
UPtop Overland
@@Runnin4Tacos awesome thank you
you need a better camera. shake so bad.
Buy a jeep
Nice, but really, a Tundra? Just stop.
He thought about stopping multiple times. 🤣
@@aaaandrew the pain in my eyes...
@@UrsusArctos8 lmao idk why he didn’t. 🤣😂 it was “for content”
@@UrsusArctos8 cus he like literally though about parking it & catching a ride with someone the rest of the way on multiple occasions lol.
Just pounding those nice trucks. Beating new vehicles. Why would you do that. Did you show the video of what needed to be fixed and how much it costs to fix those vehicles. Fun not stressful right. Why have all those heavy roof top tents. Just bring a tent. Roof top tents are way overrated.
No, we did not make a video. We just had to bend the exhaust hanger back in place. and get a new bumper cap for the rear. Nothing mechanical was damaged.
incompetent drivers, inept spotters. way in over their heads. Too much of a trail. giggle at their own not funny jokes.
I mean they were kinda funny in the moment to be fair lmao.
I will never take a brand new tundra go do this.
What about a Tacoma?
The camera motion sickness 🤢 🤮….
That just looks sketchy, not sure how beating up your truck can be fun
People build to use it/product testing. they're here to inform us.
We all have stanced cars and racecar friends, built rigs that never seen action vs Yolo rigs.
Fu*ck this video hurts to watch, after all that work
V8 tundra would of had no problems
Wat lol
Leroy does not belong to the sport lol
He didn't choose the sport, the sport chose him.
He needs to be circumcised 😂
@@pnoytaco_tv3119 agreed.
Hey, would you please tell me what’s the name of that water tank that you have on top of your roof rack??
I would really appreciate it, thank you
Waterport weekender
Tell me how fresh a lobster can be from Colorado lol these guys eat like they are about to go to prison btw lol
O ME GOD YOU PLAY WET NATURE ITS LOOK ITS NOT CAR IN DIS WORLD CHED TRAVEL EVRYWER LALALALALALLALAL
What size tires are on that FJ?
