Your style of videography is exactly what I think overlanding videos should be. More scenery. Less talking. Wonderful video. Thank you.
Thats exactly the reason I love teardrop trailers. I've done rooftop tents but as I get older I appreciate the zero setup time to go to sleep in a warm cozy cocoon seconds after arriving at camp. They have their downsides but the pros outweigh the cons. Great video. I need to get a new skydio drone. Your videos look epic.
Love these long vlogs. Keep them coming dude. I love new Tundra inside-out. I wish I get to explore West US someday like u guys. Overland style.
It's almost bittersweet watching these videos. Retirement is a year closer, the Tacoma has now been ordered, the camper is coming next year and all I can think about is making a beeline for southern Utah when I finally get the chance......but not just yet. Your channel has played a significant role in my future plans, so thanks for what you do. Also, watching you with that Tundra on the trails makes me feel so much better about going with the Tacoma instead. The Tundra can get there but it's just too much...at least that how it looks on video. Thanks again.
if you don't need the towing and cargo capacity the Tacoma is the way to go.
You don’t have long! The Tundra is a fantastic vehicle, but desperately needs a lift for a better break over angle.
Your usual wonderful job. I like the way you minimize the vehicles and maximize the countryside. Your time lapse shots always make me think of my wonderful creator. Thank you for a great video!
That canyon was spectacular! Time lapse was amazing!
Thank you! The overnight ones are hard to get right.
What a joy of video!! Definetly you came back to your good old videos where music was spot on, nice scenary and just wide open roads. Thank you for this video, keep the good job.
Thanks,your videos is Just like travellog myself, this makes it possible to see places I"m not able to.
I can see the first part of the trail going to the falls and the surrounding mountains from where I’m sitting watching this from Hurricane Utah
Great video. My Black Bean is in production right now and I may watch this about 12 more times between now and when I can pick it up.
You're giving us Brits a good overview of beautiful places to overland to. Teardrops are more common kn UK due to the narrow roads here.
Thanks for taking us along.
New subscriber, enjoying your channel as you clearly nerd out on this stuff. The recovery to the Tear Drop Trailer to get out of the freezing wind and just hang out was great advertisement for that platform over just about any other option.
Yes, it was really nice to have!
This may be one of my new favorite channels (not sure why i didnt watch it earlier) if the rest of your content is this good. I was researching the Toroweap / Mt. Trumbull route just last month and also own a Stock Ram 1500 with offroad teardrop so the irony in this video is high. Very great content, scenery, production and storytelling. Extra kudos for caring about not ripping up the trail for "content", very respectable.
Thanks! We actually found out later that vehicles over 22’ aren’t allowed to drive to Toroweap.
@@RevereOverland oh, i didnt know that either
Great video! First time seeing your channel (subbed). I loved the timelapses!!!
Thanks for the sub!
@@RevereOverland You bet man! If you ever want to come to New Mexico and collab, hit me up. I'm always down for timelapsing in awesome places with fellow TH-camrs!
I’m sure I could learn some stuff from you!
What a great spot to camp. that little trailer is perfect for 1-2 ppl.
Great content - excellent creative spirit.
Thanks for sharing this adventure as it is part of a bucket list loop I have partially planned.
I’m commenting to get you higher engagement rates! Me love you long time!
You're the best!
Love this place, we did twin point, whitmore point and toroweep in October. Amazing place! Thank god for rotopax, the Cruiser was only getting 9 mpg😬. We will be heading back there in April 👍😊
By April fuel will probably be close to 5 bucks a gallon. 😕
@@eradicator187 if you need to buy some gas at Bar 10 Ranch coming from Whitmore Point, it’s $10 per gallon😬, but you are correct
Ouch! Towing the camper off road I wasn't getting a whole lot better, but the 32 gal fuel tank helps a lot.
I was waiting to see a video like this with the tundra
Love it! I know that Overlanding is WAY more than just this, but you make it look so amazing, both you and Justin B. McBride put out the best content on the tube. Just wish Justin still had a Tacoma, but that Bronco is a great rig. I know you borrowed the trailer, but what kind is it? Thanks again for another amazing video Rob!!
A little FYI for those watching Toroweep requires a backcountry camping permit you can get in St George. Also there is a total length restriction of 21’ I believe that I am sure the truck trailer exceeds.
Thanks for letting us know! I definitely exceeded the maximum length allowed.
I’ve got a Tacoma and home built tiny off-road camper. I thought about upgrading to the tundra but I like the smaller size of my truck sometimes.
Tacoma is definitely going to be easier on the tight trails, but the Tundra is really nice off road!
That black bean looks great. Great video!
It’s fantastic!
Heyyyyyy! I know that other dude! That’s Justin B. McBride! Two of my favorite TH-camrs in the same video!
I'm in the process of fixing up my ram lift, bigger tires and bumper with winch. Unfortunately my little epro camper will have to be equipped with an articulating hitch so will have to cut and weld one on.
Trailer looks pretty cool. I built a square drop trailer in 2020 and love it. There’s definitely pros and cons on hauling a trailer on trails.
Definitely! It's right on the line as to whether or not it's worth it for me, so I ended up with an iKamper since it's considerably cheaper than a trailer!
@@RevereOverland I've got the trailer I built, rtt, and a Gazelle t4 tent. I prefer the Gazelle T4 over my roof top tent. Alot easier to set up. Kinda over the rtt. Lol
Each to their own!
Engagement... also always enjoy the content.
Thanks!
Did you take the road next to the lumber yard in Fordonia to head to the north rim area
Great video. I’m interested if you used much of your Tundra off road tech (MTM or DAC). Several situations looked hairy. Keep the content coming!
I mainly just used the camera systems! I had the multi terrain select on when climbing up the hill to Toquerville Falls the night before I started this video, but it wasn't strictly necessary. I haven't needed crawl control or the rear locker.
This is what I'm looking forward to doing, want to lift my truck a little and put better tires, also replace plastic skid plates with more protection. We have a Patriot camper on order so hopefully I'll have the truck upgraded by then. I know having full sized Tundra is a hindrance but I hope I can still get out there and do a good bit with those limitations and explore for ourselves, Great video!
Nice! The size of the Tundra really wasn't an issue for this trip other than the lack of ground clearance and breakover! A lift, tires, and some sliders will really help though.
@@RevereOverland Westcott Designs are working on sliders for the 2022, on my list. Also Communicating to C4 Fab. for Low pro front Bumper and Winch, this truck is going to cost me small fortune but hopefully the results are more fun in doing what we love. I have the off-road package, just a few mods should make it usable for our needs I hope, I can't afford another specific truck like a Tacoma or jeep.
Did you see CBI’s covert winch bumper? I was tempted, but I really need full bumper.
@@RevereOverland I did but don't think the 2022 version is out yet. I really don't want to go all out with this truck, I just need enough to get me out of trouble If I'm alone. Also this will keep the weight down, I really don't think I'll need protection from hitting animals or other obstacles. I feel anymore I just as soon get a Tacoma. Also I'll be hauling a patriot camper, it is a fine line I'm going to have to figure out what I can and can't do and set goals on how far I'll go with building out this truck, I need it for everyday travel to work etc. Really A dedicated truck would be ideal but not in my cards just yet!
@@scooty67 yeah it sounds as though a hidden winch or covert bumper is best for you! They released a picture of it on their Instagram story, but I think it's gone now.
I'm curious to see if you go back to the towable again. My wife and I love having our fully off-road capable trailer to travel in because it's windproof, has a full pull out kitchen I built out in back and there is very little set up plus we have a place to hang out when the weather is not the best. Yeah, there is a trade off in that we have a towable but it suits us well.
I have an iKamper on the way that I'll be putting on the Tundra. The trailers are more difficult during the day, but having a sealed place to sleep and hang out out of the weather was really nice!
Love your cinematography work and your channel overall. You ever crashed your drone?
Awesome video as usual 👌
how did the tundra handle the dusty conditions since its twin turbo?
Fantastic video. Your mud video reminded me of early May in the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Had to really scale back my expectations of where I could go. The dirt roads were either muddy or refrozen snow at the higher elevations. The refrozen snow could be very icy… I am a part 107 drone pilot and have had to do a lot of homework about land under National Park management. Your time lapse photography was gorgeous. I also do tracked night sky photography. I have wandered around in area between Mesquite Nevada and St. George looking for the lack of light pollution.
That's awesome. I'd love to track the stars, but I don't have the equipment!
Been searching videos going down to Toquerville with a trailer. This is awesome I’m planing to give it a try with my pop up trailer. I have been there couple of times but without trailer so let’s see how it goes…. Awesome video 😎
Good luck!
I hope you're gonna lift and get rid of those street tires. I just know this new Tundra will look badass lifted.
I’m trying to schedule a lift at the moment!
Felt like I was there. Great content!
Me and the boys were at Toq falls on Jan 27th and went to Grand Canyon the day after. You basically camped at both exact camp spots we camped at
Nice!
Great trip, thanks for the scenery
I'd like to give you a hard time about your microwave dinner, but the reality is: simple is better. Nothing worse than forcing a complicated meal after a long day on the trail! Hard lesson to learn is to work smarter, not harder lol. Great video with awesome shots!
Oh man... I did the Whitmore grand canyon overlook like 1 week later than you and that road was hard as rock....
The trail to the canyon overlook was great, but going from the schoolhouse over the mountains to Torroweap was really sloppy!
Question about the trailer - were you using a brake controller hard-wired into the Tundra, or a wireless one mounted on the Bean?
The Tundra has a built in brake controller
You have a beautiful Tacoma 🥰
This is the bigger and uglier brother to the Tacoma.
How do you film drone shots while driving solo?
Very nice
Very enjoyable, did you notice any problems with the Bean trailer with the wheel base wider than your Tundra? We enjoyed the question and answer session you had after using the trailer.
The trailer did great! I didn't even know it was wider!
We came close to buying a Bean but the cooktop was too high to comfortably cook at for my wife. Other than that they seem well made.
You and McBride make a great tandem for vlogging
Thanks for sharing.
Nice video questions what trailer hitch have looks it moves
It’s a Cruisemaster DO35 articulating pin coupler
According to the website!
Loved it!
Hey, I'm in Idaho Falls!
I was wondering why you guys used two cars. Was it for safety or for some other reason?
Yes and yes. Two vehicles give recovery options when neither have a winch. We also both produce videos for TH-cam, so having our own vehicles allows us to tell slightly different stories!
when you do your lift, are you going to get some off-road bumpers as well so you have some recovery points? Do they even have aftermarket bumpers for these Tundras' yet?
There are a few that have been developed, but that aren’t available yet. I’ll be getting the lift done next week, but bumpers will be a little longer!
@@RevereOverland can't wait to see that thing lifted with some meaty 35" off-road tires. You going to go A/T or M/T?
Did you stop at the bar 10?
No, we didn’t realize it was open to visitors!
You got so much battery. Cook with induction 🤟🏿 no more propane
Might be a bit of an invasive question but what do you do every day for work to afford this?
I do TH-cam and selling video footage for work, but I can afford the Tundra thanks to a lot of luck with the housing market!
@@RevereOverland that’s awesome! What a life. Hope to go out west soon to experience just a little if this.
I am more interested in this Tundra build now that the 2023 Sequoia has been released!
The 2023 Sequoia looks fantastic! I just wish they had made the hybrid optional.
I think you might want to change out your air filter out after that trip!
Lol! I should probably stock up on them!
Terrific video! How much does that trailer weigh and how well did the Tundra tow it?
It's around 2500lb and you couldn't even tell it was there!
Amazing footage as usual Rob. Do you have a ball hitch on there currently with the tear drop?
I can’t remember the name of the hitch, but it’s a fancy 360 degree one!
@@RevereOverland lock and roll??
Which heated blanket are you using? Do you recommend it?
It’s just a 120v king sized one from Amazon. They’re all very similar, but this one has dual zones for me and the wife!
@@RevereOverland thanks for taking the time to respond. I'll have a look what's out there. I'm in British Columbia and camp all year but convincing my wife in winter this could help!!
17:34 Does Tundra's screen really flutters like that irl or is it just camera??
That's just the camera!
Do you think one of those 4x4 Sprinter RVs would make it were you went?
Maybe someone could give you one to try out.
Sprinters are terrible off road.
They probably have more clearance than my Tundra at the moment! I think they would be fine going out to the canyon, but would struggle going to Toquerville Falls.
@@RevereOverland thanks
@@RevereOverland There are some TH-cam videos of Sprinters off road. they get into trouble quickly.
I own a Sprinter Van, with 4 wheel drive. I took it to Toquerville Falls about 3 years ago and it did fine. All suspension was stock from the factory and I never scraped. When we arrived at the falls I did have some tree branches touch the side of the sprinter because of its height but it handled that trail fine. I would do it again. Great video here, thanks!
Do you plot all of your routes in an app? The ones you travel for others to use?
I plot everything in Gaia GPS and share on Patreon through their website
Is that in seegmiller mountain by quail flat
Yup!
Nice video
Which bean model were you using?
The Black Bean. We did a walk around video when I dropped it off. It'll be out next Sunday.
Great cinematography as always!
I guess it’s a Toyota thing that brand-new trucks owned by tall(er) folks need seat shims?
The Tacoma definitely needs the seat jackers, but the Tundra's seating position is fine without. I liked having them though - I usually lean forward a lot while off road, and it allowed me to put the seat up really high.
Welllllllll, maybe I should have went with a trailer?
It’s pretty awesome
Engagement....Looks like you are enjoying the sunroof after all.
Haha, yeah. It got really hot coming down, and it cooled off nicely with the sunroof open! I did also get a little dusty though.
What kind of MPG's were you getting pulling the trailer?
A solid 12 mpg off road and the same at 80-85 mph on the highway.
Guy from Enjoy the Ride would have bombed straight through without slowing down lol
Great video btw!
LOL! Accurate!
You should be sponsored by Toyota 🤙🏽
I wish!
should have kept the 4runner!!
I still have it! No way would I give up the Tundra though.
Love the area. Was there Thanksgiving. How do you like the Tundra? We have one on reserve but unsure if it's the rig for us. We currently have a heavily modified 80 series but would like more room for ourselves and the kids for extended travel.
I love it. Super comfortable, great power, fantastic range. It definitely needs some mods though - lift, tires, armor, and winch are all big priorities.
@@RevereOverland are you still running on the 20 inch rims?
@@MountainMan677 I have some 18" Method wheels on the way!
@@RevereOverland nice. What size tire are you going to run? Everything I'm reading says to go with a 15 inch rims but I would like to stay atleast to a 17. I've got 20s on now
@@MountainMan677 the smallest wheel that will fit is a 17", but apparently 18" is the sweet spot for the Tundra. I have a 20% discount in the description if you're interested. I'll be doing 37" tires!
That Tundra definitely needs a lift and a camper shell🤔🤔🤔
Yes and yes!
@@RevereOverland Suggestion..The dessert I'd beautiful but beach camping is fantastic..Let me know if you ever decide to explore OBX, NC..Where there's water, there's life!!👍
So tell us how the Tundra performed?! Did it live up to your expectations so far? If not, why?
It’s definitely not as capable as the 4Runner was stock, but that’s down to the lack of ground clearance. I love the power, comfort, and space though! Definitely no regrets here!
👍👍👍
Have you been home yet since you bought your truck? Or is Utah your new home? Wait aren't you building a new home?
I’ve been back in Kentucky for a couple of weeks, but the truck is still in Utah! A few companies in and around Salt Lake City needed the truck, so I left it with them.
You got no recovery gear mate. Mi heads chocka hhaha.
I have 4 traction boards, a snatch strap, tow strap, tow hitch recovery point, several shackles, and a shovel. They’re no replacement for a winch, but definitely better than nothing!
Brilliant meal!
Why are you trying to overland a stock Tundra? Toyota made a lot of questionable decisions on the new Tundra regarding overlanding / off-roading.
Why not? I wanted to take a trip and don't want to wait a month or more to modify it!
Looking at Justin's heretic lights on the trail at night is the exact example of why Baja Designs are so much better......brighter.....better length.....better quality.....world of difference. I assume Heretic is sponsoring you as well, but would a shame if you slapped those mid grade lights on your new Tundra, versus going with the best. Just my .02...
I have 3 sets of Bajas on the 4Runner and haven’t been happy with the quality
Great Video, Great Editing just Too Much Music. Let us hear more engines, tires on the gravel road creak's & groans of the rigs & animals in the background. Give us What YOU hear Please. Even have music when you're talking. We know it takes a lot of time to edit vids, so take it easy on yourself & US.
No music makes for very boring videos. Drones don't record sound either, which makes it even worse.
Toquerville used to be a pretty mellow trail but has since been destroyed by the moronic sxs crowd.
Why would you not be able to fly drones there. It makes absolutely no sense at all. If I ever go there I will fly one if I want.
Due to the sheer number of people flying drones, bothering other visitors and the wildlife, the national park service banned drones on all land that they administer. As much as it sucks for me, I fully support it, because they can be a nuisance in the crowded and popular areas. Not so much of an issue out where we were, but with fines of $5,000, I certainly won’t be doing it!
@@RevereOverland if there's an over abundance of drones I could understand but a drone here and there doesn't harm anything. And definitely not as much as vehicles driving through there. Most people don't have them and they do not even leave a footprint.
