They have no space for food for a long adventure. Fuel, water and food storage space will make it impossible. But... they also pack like shit, theres plenty of space to recover in between those boxes.
With the fuel setup I really realize how useful and convenient a large fuel tank is. 40gal needed for your trip, and with the 36gal tank on my F-150, I'd only need one extra can.
You likely consume more fuel then usually off road so plan with two extra cans for a trip like that and maybe even an additional spare. Second have not only one fire extinguisher have two small one's like he had and a large one. Maybe get some more water too.
Let me tell you.. I have no experience outlanding but I do hunt and love the outdoors. This has to be by far one of, if not, the most badass set up I’ve seen! This makes me want to convert my Silverado into this type of setup! You are so well organized and have thoroughly thought out your trip. This makes the trip so much more enjoyable! Good stuff!! 🔥
Regarding fuel, I'd recommend fitting an auxiliary fuel tank underneath the truck in the same place as the stock spare tire goes. Remove that and you can fit a large tank. We did that and along with a 2" body lift it enabled us to have close to 70 gallons of fuel. All underneath the truckbed in a self-contained system. Useful when snow wheeling in a 44" modified Tacoma in Iceland.
We just figured out the shower system, got the little pop up privacy tent, and pool noodle around the bucket top as toilet for the wife. It does need to be expensive it just needs to work and save space while keeping everyone comfortable and happy. It is fun figuring out systems that work. The planning, prepping and building is part of the journey so I appreciate you sharing.
All these fancy gadgets are cute and all, but I grew up doing it old school. Throw all of your gear in the back of a 3/4 ton truck and just go. Food, water, cooler, wood, tent, no problem. These fancy boys and the “overlanding” thing has gotten out of hand 😆
I'm from Argentina. in Argentina we have water and gasoline 😆 .. and really nice meat. You don't need to load your Tacoma like the world is going to end. enjoy your trip
me and 2 other friends did 13.000km through Brazil, Argentina and Chile with a 22 years old toyota Hillux, with 1.000km on offroad hahah, that's too much
Sounds like an amazing trip, all the extra gadgets are a little dizzying IMO, but more power to you for doing this trip. For everyday folk who want to prepare to overland, remember you can put clothes in a regular duffle bag and you dont even need a rooftop tent to sleep in.
He’s a businessman but before that he’s Tacolover! I’m sure he’s bringing all these products to better give us and consumers a better idea on how to use them. Great video mate!
People hate because they don't understand about the necessities when boon docking for days. Solar, inverter, recovery gear and a awning come to mind. I have a sinular setup in my F250, I can average 12 city, 17 highway and have the extra space we all desperately need. Are all your buds in the roof top tent? Nice setup brother.
Howdy just found you , when single I did a lot of trail and camping , then got married , just went overseas to close El Salvador and went 4x4 trailing , now I really need to go back on trails and take the girls so they can appreciate the great creations of our world & God . Thanks for opening my eyes , just subscribed with your channel , looking forward , Bendiciónes !!
Better to be over prepared from a survival standpoint than not. Especially going off grid and into the wilderness. Not going on the freeway where they can stop at the next gas station to restock and refuel. Only thing they are missing is a gun/rifle to protect themselves from bears/cougars/wolves and other animals. Or hunt for food.
I agree. Theres a lot of overlanders who you can tell have never done any actual camping or backpacking. Its obvious they've only ever done glamping. Backpackers know how to distill gear down to the actual essentials to carry less weight. Also... that wasn't coffee.
As somebody who loves autos, gear and the great outdoors, i love it. But 500 miles looks like a puny use case for a rig like this...that's something one can do on a dual sport without breaking a sweat. This one calls for a 3 year long trip :) Cheers !!
If (or when I must say) they'll shoot the trip to South America they talked about at the end of the video, damn, we'll have an hell of a documented journey. Especially if they shoot it in a mini series like this Pony Express trip. That 500 miles trip will certainly feel like a walk in the park after that. 😂😂
Gat a Sawyer squeeze water filter for emergencies. You can get water from streams, springs, and puddles. I go backpacking and never have dishes to do. I package all my food in 1 pint Freezer Bags. Breakfast for example, I put 1 cup of Raisin Bran + 1/3 cup NIDO into freezer bag. When I want to eat, I add enough water to cover, shake, and eat out of the bag. I package Dehydrated Refried Beans & Minute Rice + Taco seasoning + Dehydrated Cheese Powder. I add boiling water when ready to eat. Instant Mash Potatoes plus boiling water, then add cheese & sour cream, and bacon bits... Instant Loaded Potatoes. No dishes, because I am eating out of the freezer bag.
The man is right. Get out there and explore the trails. I’ve got a stock ‘06 Tacoma TRD sport and it amazes me what terrain I’ve been able to traverse using a limited slip diff.
I eat up some of the most dangerous and remote trails of DRCongo in a stock 76 series Land Cruiser with a back pack and about an 1/10th of all that gear but to be honest I wouldn´t mind that truck and that shower, it´s dope LOL ( I have medical gear though) :)
You don't need this. I drove the same route plus plenty more during a week long adventure in my 2010 Ranger 4x4. Kept is stupid simple, all with a build of about 10k into my rig. You can prepare for whatever you want and still have bad luck, i was fortunate, took some risks and only drove away with more experience and great memories. Overland should be nicknamed: Overkill
As mentioned on minute 16:59 you don't need all this. After sleeping in a ground tent growing up for many years.. Mateo decided to treat himself nice with all the products you saw on this video.
Been seeing several videos with fire extinguishers in hard to get to (or takes long to get to) places. I'd recommend mounting that extinguisher somewhere inside the bed that is a little quicker and easier to get to. Also any medical supplies. All the other stuff you store (tools, recovery, etc) are not time critical items usually.
Hey, mate, If Toyota starts selling Tacoma in Korea, and they come in all varieties, I want you guys to set up Tacoma Beast dealerships in Seoul, Busan, Gwangju, Daejeon, etc. I'll be an ambassador for your business, I'm so inspired and motivated by a lot of the videos you guys are showing, Korea is still a small market for tuning and the government doesn't give out many permits, but who knows, it has the potential to rebound into a huge market in the future. Korean people and guys love camping so much. If you're ever in Korea, let me know and I'll volunteer to be your guide.

Have done 500 miles in 24 hours (2days) 12 hour drive on my bike . Showered at the river side . just had money for the gas but wanted to go on a trip and i did . This person is great this video is great but if you are looking for and adventurous ride you can do it on any vehicle on bicycle on foot. Just enjoy what you have
My families camping adventures were with a 33ft.travel trailer in upstate N.Y..and New England, working all week money spent for a truck 1978 dodge pu. and trailer were at our limits. Gas was under 1.00 a gallon. But wages were low compared to today. We had fun tho.
Awesome bro! Your rig and thought process is solid. I would say definitely yes to camp shower it is a huge game changer. I have one thats basically a mini hot water heater using propane. Theyre pretty cheap and like i said HUGE game changer! Other than make sure you have enough water and fuel. Maybe plot out see of there are any available watwr sources to refill or fill up at. Water is added weight 8lbs per gallon!
my buddy has a similar shower but it is a pump he drops into the river or whatever water source and it runs through a heat exchange manifold attached to the heater core of the truck so warm showers on the road.
Wow your tacoma looks amazing. So much neat stuff. My husband has a Tacoma for work. I have a jeep. I'd love to build something like this and go overlanding to a bunch of other states. Greetings from Florida.
Don't listen to the haters bro. You built an amazing truck! Those that talk shit are just jealous they don't have the same thing. Work hard, buy what you want, and enjoy the life you have. The outdoors calls us all, and how we get out there is determined by our budget. If you don't have much to throw into a truck, you can still go out and have a blast; albeit with less amenities; but if you have the funds to build up a dope truck then do it. I love to see your excitement for the hobby/ lifestyle, and I hope these fucktards that throw shade on you don't inhibit your desire to share your journey. I loved the video, and I hope to see more!
does he know anything about 4x4ing,tacticts,does & donts,so many people buy a 4x4 stiker,& think it goes everywhere.not..we are in a 4x4 club,with trainers.takes yrs to know everything,then some.people die here in aus,as they have no idea.traction control is not your friend,ifs & tech,will stop you.1 sensor shits,you go no were.500 mile is nothing,some members go away for months,no fuel for 1200 ks.belts & hoses,you buy first.
Basically, what we've got here is a gas powered tent w/ basically essentials and some nons thrown in. I'd done some things differently. Basically the entire mindset going into the build. Assuming this ride was basically only $100,000 and its going basically 500 miles we've basically spent $20 a mile. That's a great deal when you think about after the trip we've basically got a free truck for another 400,000 miles or so.
Meanwhile here in Russia, we do similar trips with maybe 1% of the cost of all that on our Lada Niva with 4 jerry cans of fuel and a jerry can of vodka, a bit of food, an axe, rifle and some clothes... 800 km trip in 4 days with no problem at all. Everything including the vehicle costs maybe 6.000 USD in total...
Might want to check that Tacomas GVWR. Looks like you need a 3/4 ton truck for all that gear. I like seeing the evolution from a rookie off roader that takes too much gear. Later they realize it's a pain in the ass and cut weight. The PE can be remote but it's a Subaru trail.
I love all the gear but I've found camping is more fun the less I bring. Now I just throw a couple packs in the truck, one for me one for the wife. A couple bins in the bed. Recovery gear and cook ware. Portable fridge. Goal Zero battery bank. 3000W generator. Yeti cooler. A few Roam boxes with camp gear, tools etc. Rooftop tent. Also a ground tent as a backup. 4 wheeler on my off road trailer. 40 gallons of extra gas on my rotopax mount. 10 gallons potable water. Roof mounted solar panels. 4 extra cold weather sleeping bags. Portable camp shower plus toilet. Fold out awning. Portable screen plus my projector so we can watch outdoor movies. Couple jetskies on my trailer as well. Also gotta bring my wood carving kit plus my travel taxidermy kit. Few dozen hunting rifles. Dog sled. Water desalination kit. Portable chemistry set. Fireworks. Just the basics. That's about it. Keep it simple. Best way to have the most fun out in the woods.
Same!! Its not really what you want to do it is really how much $$$ will it take to do what you want. If u had money my 15' T4R SR5 wouod be amazing and I would be on the trail for good. But I am making it how I want slowly to damn slowly due to $$$ this crap is expensive as hell!
Nice stuff, quick question you have only one spare tire don't you expect some rough terrain? how do you plan to repair if you have more than one or a tire shattered?
I’ve been camping out of my 1979 bronco back in 1986 on the Big Island of Hawaii now in Washington I have a 1983 ranger with canopy and I hunt - camp and fish cook out the back. But if my family joins me then the 2003 dodge 2500 diesel is loaded up and pulls a 23 foot Jayflight hybrid camper- get out and enjoy
Awesome truck ! Lots of gadgets that I hope you’ll get to use. Your missing some ammo and firearms, especially if your going to Mexico. My top five would be : Food, water, sleeping bag, some rifles w/ ammo and medical kit. You don’t need to shower for a 5 day field trip. I’ve gone 40 plus days without and I felt great!
This video is awesome.. Loved the way the you modified the vehicle.. I hope it is LineX coated.. 500 mi is no joke.. You can always load up water from the streams.. I used to be a traveler on my bike.. Spent 11 years to mark the roads on Google Maps.. You just reminded me of what I was 20 years ago...
"I hope this inspired you to get out there." Thanks, but you inspired me to look for much cheaper camping gear! Hahaha Really, I love your videos, but I'd love your ideas for po' folks like me, too!
3 boxes of nature valley bars, a sleeping bag, a tow strap to get pulled out by a kind passer by if you get stuck, and a gun for protection, you should be all good:) lol
Wow....very nice truck. Very nice gadgets/gear. Gotta be over $100k in that thing. Not trying to hate...but this sort or giant money corporate sponsor style of build is getting a bit old. Slow mo on all the logos and calling out specific brand names. I hope guys that are new to the hobby or guys w families who don't have sponsors/giant disposable incomes realize that you don't need anywhere near this amount of stuff to take a trip like that. I've done that trail many times and for the most part a stock 4x4 can do it. Twice a year I take off road trips where I don't see pavement for days/hundreds of miles. I don't take anywhere near this much stuff. A shower?? Really? C'mon guys. PS why are you packing 100k worth of gear and using dollar store instant coffee in a French press. That's just plain wrong.
I agree with you. This is pitching brand names and endorsements nothing more. You don't need half of this stuff to have a good time overland. I have to wonder what the weight of that rig is with all that stuff. I would be concern with the axles and breaking something vital with all that junk on board.
What kind of suspension do you run I want to be able to carry weight in my 22 trd off road I love all the videos and has helped a lot keep it up and would love to meet you someday and take a trip
We change our suspension periodically but if you need help with your suspension you can dm us on Instagram (same @) and we’ll be more than happy to help you get a suspension that fits your needs 🤙
While it is expensive (and he does seem to be sponsored) I would imagine that a single person with no children and a good job that lives below their means could afford it all over a decent period of time.
@Franz Hernandez that’s awesome man. I figured all it takes for those who aren’t sponsored or very wealthy already is limited outside responsibility, and good financial planning. I see you have a lot of vids on ur EVO. Looks great. Hope to see some of a taco or something soon!
@Franz Hernandez coming from somebody with some off-road experience, have done a number of runs with groups in Nevada, Cali, and Arizona, the Tacoma is probably your best bet if you want to really go places. A lot of those trails can be pretty narrow and those are some expensive trucks that may likely take a beating. Taco’s can almost go anywhere a Jeep can depending on how you build it. They are all great options tho. Just don’t be afraid of scratches down the length of whatever you get. Just wanted to dive my 2 cents.
Fridge is wired to the battery. We can leave the truck off and the fridge on throughout the night and its fine. The fidget has a few safety setting that will turn it off if it feels the amps starts going down.
How did we get ready? We spent, and spent, and spent, and spent... Then we spent some more. You should, too! Everybody knows: a true, deep back country experience depends entirely on the gadgets you haul in, and the oh-so-very manly rig you haul ‘em in on. So grab your wallet, and get out there!!!!!
Good set up. Just.add leatherman Surge multi tool, Cold Steel SR1 folder knife and a Rmj tomahawk. Not to mention Glock 10mm if you desire to boost up protection. 36 MRES , 3x per person per day packets should be enough for trip. 14 gallons of drinking water plus 6 gallons for general use. 45 gallons of fuel too. 😎👍
An RV can't go where that truck can go by a massive margin. You stick to the highways my friend and let us over-landers do what we do; after all, we don't mind not having a 50 amp plug and water hookups and picnic table. Why don't you unhook the umbilical chord of society and do some actual exploring?
Body wipe packs would lighten your load quite a bit. Just keep them on the dash in a warm spot and voila warm wash cloths! Then shower every other day .
Name the top 5 most important things you take when you go camping?
MREs, life straw, tent, fire starter, knife/multi tool, flashlight/headlamp, first aid kit, and gun/rifle for protection against wild animals.
5 bottles of rum 🤙
Fridge, beer, axe/chainsaw, poop tent, girlfriend to cook dinner lol
Tent, tequila and rifle/gun.

@@tacomabeast the only time I shower in the wild is before sleep. It's really bad when the sleeping bag smells bad.
David coming out of that shower room like Ace Ventura coming out of a Rhino...
😂
Lmao 🤣 🤣
I find it hard to believe that this tacoma loaded down like it is, is getting 12mpg.
Yeah you would think it would more be like gallons per mile
Man you are not joking when it comes to off road adventures.
Never 😂
my buddy has a similar shower but it is a pump he drops into the river or whatever water source and it runs through a heat exchange manifold attached to the heater core of the truck so warm showers on the road.
Damn that sounds sweet!
Wow your tacoma looks amazing. So much neat stuff. My husband has a Tacoma for work. I have a jeep. I'd love to build something like this and go overlanding to a bunch of other states. Greetings from Florida.
Just what I needed. I'll be going on a 1,000 miles roundtrip as well soon and what you know. Tacomabeast came through with a instructional video.
Don't listen to the haters bro. You built an amazing truck! Those that talk shit are just jealous they don't have the same thing. Work hard, buy what you want, and enjoy the life you have. The outdoors calls us all, and how we get out there is determined by our budget. If you don't have much to throw into a truck, you can still go out and have a blast; albeit with less amenities; but if you have the funds to build up a dope truck then do it. I love to see your excitement for the hobby/ lifestyle, and I hope these fucktards that throw shade on you don't inhibit your desire to share your journey. I loved the video, and I hope to see more!
does he know anything about 4x4ing,tacticts,does & donts,so many people buy a 4x4 stiker,& think it goes everywhere.not..we are in a 4x4 club,with trainers.takes yrs to know everything,then some.people die here in aus,as they have no idea.traction control is not your friend,ifs & tech,will stop you.1 sensor shits,you go no were.500 mile is nothing,some members go away for months,no fuel for 1200 ks.belts & hoses,you buy first.
yeh,what ever..read my comments..haaahh..
Basically, what we've got here is a gas powered tent w/ basically essentials and some nons thrown in. I'd done some things differently. Basically the entire mindset going into the build. Assuming this ride was basically only $100,000 and its going basically 500 miles we've basically spent $20 a mile. That's a great deal when you think about after the trip we've basically got a free truck for another 400,000 miles or so.
This is my favorite version of Mateo’s truck.
Amazing video , great content . Keep up the amazing work guys 👍🏼
So for 500 miles trip, let plan in advance for 480 miles worth of gas. 🤔
Plus the 240 miles in the tank
Yeah. Right
@@antoineO1 what's the cost of this vehicle???
Twan he counted that
My Tacoma got that same mileage stock, around town. With the load you've added to that truck .... GL
love the videos! makes we want to get a decked out tacoma and do some camping with friends in the future.
Dude, you are so awesome to watch.
Looks like something that came out of Madmax. Enjoy it and what a beast.
Meanwhile here in Russia, we do similar trips with maybe 1% of the cost of all that on our Lada Niva with 4 jerry cans of fuel and a jerry can of vodka, a bit of food, an axe, rifle and some clothes... 800 km trip in 4 days with no problem at all. Everything including the vehicle costs maybe 6.000 USD in total...
BTW it took us 4 days because we were having fun in between, drinking, hunting, fishing... Otherwise we could do it in a day
To each their own bro, we had a blast too and enjoyed some nice commodities 🤙
I was about to take a nap but this video kept me up lol. Love the content. Looking more forward to my adventure tmrw! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
You could probably do that trek in a mini van!
Chris NWAD Confirmed. My bone stock 2000 Honda Odyssey went many places on many roads that it was NEVER intended to.
@@maple_fields those Japanese cars go anywhere and everywhere you tell it to go, I saw a Subaru miles past where it was comfortable in a truck...
To be fair, these guys do this professionally. Like, building Tacoma’s and dealing with parts like this is their whole gig. And they do it very well.
Might want to check that Tacomas GVWR. Looks like you need a 3/4 ton truck for all that gear. I like seeing the evolution from a rookie off roader that takes too much gear. Later they realize it's a pain in the ass and cut weight. The PE can be remote but it's a Subaru trail.
better safe than sorry! and luckily the taco could take it! 😎
Nice!! But I don’t think these two guys would ever make it up here in Alaska, kinda soft😂🤟🏽
Right? 500 miles. I guess it's hard enough to find 500 miles of decent off road in the US.
Roadkill would haha
Doubt they would make it past Palmer
Yukoner here, read 500 miles, thought that was a warmup
16:39 you said "Tierra del fuego" Like an Argentinian do, that is amazing
Mateo’s dad is from Argentina
It just sounds like regular spanish you trippin😂
He spends all that on overkill gear, only to cheap out on the First Aid kit! LMAO smh
Also the placement of the first aid kit is absolutely absurd. Keep it where its easy to access, not behind a freaking puzzle.
The hyper tough wal mart rope though haha
He's basically just doing this for publicity
But he has a cap for all ocasions...
Cheap first aid kit? What about the coffee? Who drinks that crap? I would rather take my chances with a wound and drink better coffee.
That cross-America trip you mentioned will be insane! I would love a video series on that
Coming soon! 👀
I love all the gear but I've found camping is more fun the less I bring. Now I just throw a couple packs in the truck, one for me one for the wife. A couple bins in the bed. Recovery gear and cook ware. Portable fridge. Goal Zero battery bank. 3000W generator. Yeti cooler. A few Roam boxes with camp gear, tools etc. Rooftop tent. Also a ground tent as a backup. 4 wheeler on my off road trailer. 40 gallons of extra gas on my rotopax mount. 10 gallons potable water. Roof mounted solar panels. 4 extra cold weather sleeping bags. Portable camp shower plus toilet. Fold out awning. Portable screen plus my projector so we can watch outdoor movies. Couple jetskies on my trailer as well. Also gotta bring my wood carving kit plus my travel taxidermy kit. Few dozen hunting rifles. Dog sled. Water desalination kit. Portable chemistry set. Fireworks. Just the basics.
That's about it. Keep it simple. Best way to have the most fun out in the woods.
😂😂😂
Man, you're ready for zombie apocalypse!! 😂🤣
If I had the money boyyyyy I swear...my 19 Offroad would look a lot like this ahaha
You and everyone else 😍
Same!! Its not really what you want to do it is really how much $$$ will it take to do what you want. If u had money my 15' T4R SR5 wouod be amazing and I would be on the trail for good. But I am making it how I want slowly to damn slowly due to $$$ this crap is expensive as hell!
Nope... way overboard.
@Frank L opinions are like... we all have them
I could have gone 5 days with a sleeping bag and a couple MREs🤣🤣
True dude, 90 percent of the stuff is just useless and pain in the ass😂
Nice stuff, quick question you have only one spare tire don't you expect some rough terrain? how do you plan to repair if you have more than one or a tire shattered?
We have tire patching kits on hand so we try to fix the tire like that first 🤙
@@tacomabeast thanks for the info 👌
I’ve been camping out of my 1979 bronco back in 1986 on the Big Island of Hawaii now in Washington I have a 1983 ranger with canopy and I hunt - camp and fish cook out the back. But if my family joins me then the 2003 dodge 2500 diesel is loaded up and pulls a 23 foot Jayflight hybrid camper- get out and enjoy
Basically, this was pretty awesome actually. Basically. 😉 Seriously, fun kit!
Dont forget spair CV axels. You probably already do though. I cant wait to see the trip!
Optimus Prime looking at thumbnail: " So, you're saying you knew ironhide ? "
Awesome truck ! Lots of gadgets that I hope you’ll get to use. Your missing some ammo and firearms, especially if your going to Mexico. My top five would be : Food, water, sleeping bag, some rifles w/ ammo and medical kit. You don’t need to shower for a 5 day field trip. I’ve gone 40 plus days without and I felt great!
True, but the water hose helps with other things like washing dishes and all.
This video is awesome.. Loved the way the you modified the vehicle.. I hope it is LineX coated.. 500 mi is no joke.. You can always load up water from the streams..
I used to be a traveler on my bike.. Spent 11 years to mark the roads on Google Maps.. You just reminded me of what I was 20 years ago...
😂
"I hope this inspired you to get out there." Thanks, but you inspired me to look for much cheaper camping gear! Hahaha Really, I love your videos, but I'd love your ideas for po' folks like me, too!
This is a great idea, we will show you how Mateo used to camp when it all stated. You will be surprised!
3 boxes of nature valley bars, a sleeping bag, a tow strap to get pulled out by a kind passer by if you get stuck, and a gun for protection, you should be all good:) lol
@@Jack-fd8cx sounds like me🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow....very nice truck. Very nice gadgets/gear. Gotta be over $100k in that thing.
Not trying to hate...but this sort or giant money corporate sponsor style of build is getting a bit old. Slow mo on all the logos and calling out specific brand names. I hope guys that are new to the hobby or guys w families who don't have sponsors/giant disposable incomes realize that you don't need anywhere near this amount of stuff to take a trip like that. I've done that trail many times and for the most part a stock 4x4 can do it. Twice a year I take off road trips where I don't see pavement for days/hundreds of miles. I don't take anywhere near this much stuff. A shower?? Really? C'mon guys.
PS why are you packing 100k worth of gear and using dollar store instant coffee in a French press. That's just plain wrong.
I agree with you. This is pitching brand names and endorsements nothing more. You don't need half of this stuff to have a good time overland. I have to wonder what the weight of that rig is with all that stuff. I would be concern with the axles and breaking something vital with all that junk on board.
Half of the gear shown on this video is sold out on their site! Wtf!
@@HugDeeznueces looks like it worked then 🤷
Probably because the coffee is the only thing that cost him real dollars.
aggree to you bro
Tacoma’s are my dream truck
Now you have a goal, get one it is a lifestyle changer.
Trevor Froese I told my mom I’m getting a job at 14 so I can work for it
My Favourite off roading truck
What kind of suspension do you run I want to be able to carry weight in my 22 trd off road I love all the videos and has helped a lot keep it up and would love to meet you someday and take a trip
We change our suspension periodically but if you need help with your suspension you can dm us on Instagram (same @) and we’ll be more than happy to help you get a suspension that fits your needs 🤙
When is the video coming out I’m stoked man !🔥
Working on it! 🤘🏼
Not hating on him - I'm a firefighter, who can afford this?
That’s what i was thinkn
While it is expensive (and he does seem to be sponsored) I would imagine that a single person with no children and a good job that lives below their means could afford it all over a decent period of time.
@Franz Hernandez that’s awesome man. I figured all it takes for those who aren’t sponsored or very wealthy already is limited outside responsibility, and good financial planning. I see you have a lot of vids on ur EVO. Looks great. Hope to see some of a taco or something soon!
@Franz Hernandez coming from somebody with some off-road experience, have done a number of runs with groups in Nevada, Cali, and Arizona, the Tacoma is probably your best bet if you want to really go places. A lot of those trails can be pretty narrow and those are some expensive trucks that may likely take a beating. Taco’s can almost go anywhere a Jeep can depending on how you build it. They are all great options tho. Just don’t be afraid of scratches down the length of whatever you get. Just wanted to dive my 2 cents.
@Franz Hernandez Don’t forget to consider a LandCruiser!
Love ur rig Mateo gosh how much money u put into ur setup, this is my dream setup for my truck
Wow I just love this truck it is my best, you inspired me so much on adventure trips.
does it have its own power source or does it work off the truck talking about the frig
Fridge is wired to the battery. We can leave the truck off and the fridge on throughout the night and its fine. The fidget has a few safety setting that will turn it off if it feels the amps starts going down.
7:19 3rd gen Tacomas gas tank is 21.1 not 17 👍🏻
Was going to say this too. 21.1 FTW
he said it before he said hes being conservitive
@@3kawis *inaccurate
How did we get ready?
We spent, and spent, and spent, and spent...
Then we spent some more.
You should, too! Everybody knows: a true, deep back country experience depends entirely on the gadgets you haul in, and the oh-so-very manly rig you haul ‘em in on. So grab your wallet, and get out there!!!!!
“squat and do what you gonna do!” haha! God bless your adventure bro.
Bro Im in love whit your tacoma, now my lifedream will be a truck like this one
Good set up. Just.add leatherman Surge multi tool, Cold Steel SR1 folder knife and a Rmj tomahawk. Not to mention Glock 10mm if you desire to boost up protection.
36 MRES , 3x per person per day packets should be enough for trip. 14 gallons of drinking water plus 6 gallons for general use. 45 gallons of fuel too. 😎👍
sounds like you know your stuff man! 😂🔥
Just get an RV dude. it would be much easier for you
An RV can't go where that truck can go by a massive margin. You stick to the highways my friend and let us over-landers do what we do; after all, we don't mind not having a 50 amp plug and water hookups and picnic table. Why don't you unhook the umbilical chord of society and do some actual exploring?
Air opus 4. Makes your life soooooo much simpler.
if you have wifi or cell service you arent actually camping
BCB the pony express trail is a glorified dirt road. I’ve pulled an RV over much worse terrain. You could do the PET in a CRV if you wanted to lol
I want to come to Argentina with you that is my actual dream.
The number of times he said "Basically" are more than the number of badges on this Pick-up...
FINALLY someone said it.... drives me fucking nuts
Apparently, it seems like he basically said, basically too much, apparently.... LOL
Body wipe packs would lighten your load quite a bit.
Just keep them on the dash in a warm spot and voila warm wash cloths!
Then shower every other day .
Everyone hating but thus truck is one of the coolest builds I’ve seen
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@tacomabeast Overloading! and also you aint traveling south ever at all. I dare you to actually do so lol
Yeah but they should have done this build on a raptor or a F-250
There is people who hate on Tacoma? Oh wait ford guys
@@carghai9235 I don’t hate Tacoma’s but you can’t deny Ford makes infinitely better trucks than Toyota’s
I used to go on longer trips than that with my I-SUZU V-CROSS D-MAX
That was really fun!!
Did anyone among you people used Isuzu for camping?
Only tacos for this road trip
@@tacomabeast yeah Tacoma costs much more than I suzu
