I'm a simple guy, I see a Wanderlost Overland video on my notification and I click on it... Why? 'cause I love your content, your demeanor, Humor, etc....
New subscriber here. Love your videos, and your sense of humor and easygoing nature. I’m buying my first overlanding vehicle early next year and am looking forward to some adventure.
Why did this video remind me of a Christmas Special, maybe the white border, just needed snow flakes, GOOD Job guys, keep up the great work. It was really nice meeting you at ATR2018
Great videos guys. I've been away for a bit so I can really see the improvement in your production. Great job blending the trip with informative content. Lots of fun!
Mark & Merri, I really enjoy all your videos. Nice footage, glad to see the Runner looking good and nice to see the two doggies. Great background music. Enjoy your Overlanding!
Thank you for the great info! 🙏🏽 I am currently collecting some gear/supplies and working on a new truck rig to get out there for some “dispersed” camping. This was very helpful. Also, thanks for showing the part of the country I have never been there!
Welcome to my homeland! Hope you guys enjoyed your trip. I love watching your videos so seeing you come through my state is very exciting. I have an ‘07 fj cruiser I’m turning into an overlanding rig and this trip is one of the first I have planned. Ps. Pierre is pronounced “peer”
Stumbled on this via the yt recommended videos. Glad I did. Great photography, great dialogue, and very useful information. Looked at some of your other videos and decided that you offer solid, down to earth information. Subbed and thumbs up. One question....why did you choose the TRD Off Road over the TRD PRO? Is it because your mechanical skills allow you to do your own mods?
Thanks for watching and subscribing! There's a lot more coming in the future. We got the OffRoad model because we knew we'd be changing out the suspension, and that's about the only difference between the Pro and Offroad.
We love your channel! We just got an FJ TT Edition. If you’re ever near central Indiana let us know! Would love to have you on “my still very new” channel!
Hey guys, thanks for posting so much videos for the fj which was quite useful on mine :) currently I have a 4runner and was wondering if you managed to do the traction hack on the 4runner the wiring is different then the fj
love your channel guys. question for you, I see that you have a place to attach an awning on your oem roof bars, would you mind explaining what that is? Im looking for a way to install my awning without having to buy an aftermarket roof rack. thanks!!
Hi Mark and Merri, Really appreciate your mod videos as well as this one. I recently bought a 2016 Limited 4Runner and intend some mods after I complete a front bumper swap. (I had an unfortunate collision shortly after I purchased it, but seemed lile an opportunity to gain some front clearance and eliminate some chrome accents.) I noticed in this video you swapped TRD Pro wheels on your Off Road 4Runner. I am planning to swap 17" wheels for my Limited's 20" to make it more off road capable? One opinion suggested, despite appearance, that the Pro wheel design was not as sturdy as the Off Road design. Any truth to this opinion? Also any AT tire recs?
Thanks for watching our videos! We have many more in the works!The smaller wheels will give you more sidewall flex when "air downed" for offroad.We've never heard the TRD wheels are weaker than the Off Road. Can't imagine there's much truth to it.As far as AT tire recommendations; We personally are incredibly happy with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
Thanks you!We adjust our air according to the surface we're on. For Highway travel we run 38psi to get the best fuel mileage. For rough gravel and dirt we go down to somewhere between 25 and 30 depending on how rough it is. This gives us a much more comfortable ride. When in loose dirt, mud, snow or large rocks & boulders we go down to 20psi to give ourselves a big foot print.
Short answer; it depends. I posted a fitment chart under the Community tab on our channel. This should be able to answer your question. Thanks for watching!

Kiss Kiss Thank you so much Kiss Kiss. We love hearing from you, friend! 🎃
Merri's mechanical skills are impressive. Removing a stuffed animal from your air intake is a tricky operation. 🤣
I truly enjoy your channel. I just picked up a Toyota 4Runner and I enjoy your ideas about Overlanding. Thank you. Subscribed!
Thanks Emanuel!
Good video, lots of fun
Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Brett!

Thanks for the video. Just getting into over landing now with the family. Your wife is hilarious btw
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video guys!!! Wish I had watched this a week ago. We were just out west and came bye the badlands on our way home.
Great videos guys. I've been away for a bit so I can really see the improvement in your production. Great job blending the trip with informative content. Lots of fun!
Thank you very much! We'll have to meetup some day.
This was a great combo of trip report and "how to" trip planning. Thanks so much for your content.
Mark & Merri, I really enjoy all your videos. Nice footage, glad to see the Runner looking good and nice to see the two doggies. Great background music. Enjoy your Overlanding!
Dave D thanks Dave!
I will have to check out Nebraska National Forest next time I'm out there.
I note that the mechanic's hands never got oily. That's not the way it is when I work on my vehicle. Maybe I'm not doing it right :-)
Thank you.
You're welcome!

Nice 4 runner
Thank you! It functions as great as it looks too.
Hey guys, thanks for posting so much videos for the fj which was quite useful on mine :) currently I have a 4runner and was wondering if you managed to do the traction hack on the 4runner the wiring is different then the fj
Thanks for watching! We're incredibly happy we've helped you. Our 4Runner came equipped with the switch, no hack necessary.
love your channel guys. question for you, I see that you have a place to attach an awning on your oem roof bars, would you mind explaining what that is? Im looking for a way to install my awning without having to buy an aftermarket roof rack. thanks!!
Thanks for watching! Here's how we mounted it on our FJ rack. It's about the same for the 4R. th-cam.com/video/Rb0V16zp9Y8/w-d-xo.html

God bless you two!
Question: do you air down your tires when off road?
Thanks you!We adjust our air according to the surface we're on. For Highway travel we run 38psi to get the best fuel mileage. For rough gravel and dirt we go down to somewhere between 25 and 30 depending on how rough it is. This gives us a much more comfortable ride. When in loose dirt, mud, snow or large rocks & boulders we go down to 20psi to give ourselves a big foot print.
Where do you recommend finding a source of good locations to go overlanding? Is there a website you could recommend?
A great place to start is Overland Bound. They have a fantastic forum on their website.
What are the biggest tires you can fit on a 2011 4Runner trail without a lift?
Short answer; it depends. I posted a fitment chart under the Community tab on our channel. This should be able to answer your question. Thanks for watching!
