It was a real pleasure meeting the two of you. I am really glad you enjoyed the beer and trails while in the area. Happy trails.
Maybe ‘old school’ mount the spare on the front bumper for weight distribution? Might lose a little entry angle, but it could help.
Awesome rig!
I've been following this build, and I absolutely LOVE it! Not many people's houses have FLEX!😂
Eagerly awaiting the walk-around to see how it all turned out!
P.S.
Stacey is doing some great camera work of the wheeling!
She is a hell of a camera woman!
Severely underrated aspect of the channel. Go Stacey!
The cracked fender is nice. Adds character, I'd leave it. BTW I'm sorry for backseat gaming/driving but I think she needs more/heavier leaf springs. Great job , be safe and have fun.
Arizona is beautiful. Chinook eating up the trail!
Love this....Can't wait for you to kick off the trip south...
I am really enjoying your videos! I have a '75 Toy Chinook pop-up (had the truck too), on a '82Toy long- bed solid front axle 4x4.
It's been a long and slow process as it's my daily driver as well.
Brian from Prescott, Arizona
Thanks for watching Brian, now go finished your Chinook!😎🤙
Nothing a sawzall, some rivets and an old license plate won’t fix! WHEEL ON!!!! 🤘
🤘🫡🤘
This is the video I’ve been waiting for so long to see!
That was fun. Chinook is finding its feet. Safe wheeling.
I agree with JK - let's get her to Argentina, you can off road all the way home if you want 💚
damn, most of the trails here in BC make that black diamond look like it's meant for beginners. that being said, the fact you took the Chinook through that was super fun to see. It can clearly handle more technical trails than that and once you get the feel for it more, as you said, it'll be REALLY fun to see it go through some BC trails! Loved this series guys!
Glad you enjoyed! And yes, we are already excited to bring it back to the home turf!
Similar to how they tell the cold temperature with a windchill warning . It zero degrees but really it feels like 25 bellow freezing
I have a 6wheel Chinook E350
Aua. The first scare hast to stay n the truck. Epic nature. I am so jealous....... there is nothing like this here in Germany. Stay save.
I want to see this beauty hitting BDR after BDR on your way back north and I don’t think I’m the only one. Here’s my proposed route: Cross the border, AZBDR, circle around and do the Arizona Strip west to east, road trip east and do the COBDR, road trip west and do the IDBDR. You could hook some other state BDR’s together to make a more continuous route but, some of the states look fairly boring (NV, UT and WY) if we’re being honest. Safe travels.
Love it! We will definitely we asking for y’all’s help on creating our USA route on the way back up the Pan Am!
Ya'll did a great build and I enjoy your Vloggs.
That looks like fun! I think the videographer got a better work out than the truck lol
Stacey’s is a fitness hero!
The content in this video is next level! Audio is sounding so much better (not sure if there was any change, but sometimes I couldnt hear Matthew talking with music overlapping) Video quality is looking absolutely STELLER!! Well done folks 🤘🏽 Party on 🎉🎉🎉🤙🏽
Thanks Andrew!!
Crazy impressive how well it works off road for a camper! Don’t think that will buff out but props for wheeling it! Such a cool build!
when i watched the video i thought that you might benefit from lower transfer case gears, i used to have 5:1 marlin crawler gears in my transfer case with 4:88 r & p any way having these makes things smoother and very controlled on the trail. your rig is very impressive i hope to see you all at king of the hammers at Johnson valley in feb.
Oh ya that would be awesome seeing you guys at king of the hammers!
Yep, sounds a little undergeared. Is he running factory r&p? The factory 4.11s are OK behind the 1fz with 35s, but it comes to life with 4.88s, his 3.4L is a good engine but doesn't have the I6 torque, so lower ratio would help a lot.
@@wagonteeth4837 Great point. I wonder if he was in 4-low? I remember in my 3.4 tacomas on 35s I could let the clutch out in 4-low without touching the gas. Since this is his first 4x4 trail, I wonder if he's still learning how to crawl with a clutch in 4-low? (Not a dig at all, we all have to start somewhere). Less gas pedal will make it a smoother experience.
@@hardtailparty You need double low for any type of rock work even with a 3.4. I'm on 33s and 4.10s and the gearing is tall. I get away with it on the trail with double low. I will be going to 4.88s when I go to 35s.
This is probably my favorite video you guys have made so far. Watching this rigin action is awesome!
Hell yeah! Thanks for watching
She's just telling ya where she needs some attention...great to see it on the trail!!! Your house rocks!
Thanks Mark!
It's good you didn't do broken arrow trail, it's narrow and has step rock climbs. Also coming down on the stairs is pretty much a controlled slide down.
I can't imagine a cooler overlander. I'm not sure if it's your driving style or if you need lower TC gears, but you are stalling too often. You have lots of extra rear weight, (which I've learned is why VW's get there without 4wd), but maybe stiffening your rear springs?. Ask Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters.
I wish you could spend more time testing in the states before you head south. I'm testing great beers now. Thanks for sharing you adventure!
Ive officialy watched all of youre videos and cant wait for whats next
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
You guys have put in so much work! It's amazing to see the rig rolling down the trail :)
Awesome you guys are wheeling it and putting it through the paces. Seems to work really well🤙🏻
Just found your channel and am looking forward to following your adventures! Amazing build!
That was fun... Sunday did so well❤️ The views are insane😍
What an adventure you guys are starting I’m all peanut butter and jealous.
Once again...
Excellent work on this episode!!!
You guys are killing it!
Can't wait to see what's next!
On the 80 series suspension, remove the front sway bar and let that front end level out and stay flat during flex.
Gotta get limit straps first! Shocks have more travel than the coils.
If you can build a roof rack for the entire length and the width for this beast believe me you will be so pleased. Beside extra luggage and gears it can also be used as a deck sitting, napping and sipping a cup of coffee.
Yes it would be so nice! It’s on our wish list for sure, but we’ll have to reinforce the roof and the lift mechanism first…
You could add an exo cage for the cab. Help the balance, but i wouldnt change a thing. Love it!
You can really tell where dual cases would be advantageous with that big rig. Wheel on, friends.
One day.
4 to 1 kits are amazing in an 80 series transfer case. Talk to Georg at Valley Hybrids/ Cruiser Brothers!
A Monday vid no doubt, hot DAMN! Love it!
mmmmmhhhh.... This should prepare you for what we call RHINO CHARGE here in Kenya, you can check it out and see also what they go through. Your Chinook is up for the task. Good one this was.
Love the chinook, your vids and vibe. It’s your ride so you can do as you choose. Personally, I’ve overlanded many thousands of miles in my 4runner that I live in for weeks at a time. I never off road just for the sake of it. There needs to be point of interest or destination for me to 4x4. I just don’t want to stress, break or wear something unnecessarily that could impact my trip. Also, south of the border sourcing parts gets much,much harder especially if you’re not in a large town. My friends 100 series LC broke in Baja and the only place we got parts was Toyota dealership. Luckily we were about a hour out of Cabo. Anywhere else on the peninsula and we would have been absolutely screwed. Still took 2 weeks to repair a relatively minor problem. Best of luck and looking forward to the adventures.
Thanks for the real world account of mechanics on the road!
Sweet ride
very cool rig guys! just found your channel and really enjoying it!!
Ouch that fender looks like it’s, anyways there were a few times I thought it was going tip over luckily you didn’t and seems like you need more of a peddle control getting over them rocks 😊great job tho finishing that trail with just a “minor” fender bender. 🤙
Greetings from the somewhat warmer but still fairly foggy south Okanagan, thanks for another glimpse of life elsewhere. The awning might well take a few beatings before it's back home, I have a boat/canoe rack on the current rig and sometimes it's handy and sometimes it is less so. The rig seems pretty capable overall considering it's a camper too though. Well done and safe travels.
A roof rack would do some good up there I think. Thanks for watching friend
Looks a lot nicer and more fun than back here on the rock where it's doing it's usual dark n rainy routine. The guard dog and I cruised the mountain last snow storm but found no Yota's....I've never seen a Big Foot but I've pulled out a Yeti! Here all week...lol Cheers and keep the awesome vids coming!
Hahah yes you have! Nice to see your comment Sean!
I wouldn’t go looking for hard trails just yet. Take note of places to check out on the way south. Get safely to Patagonia, then wheel the hell out of it on the way home! Doubler!
Totally valid, and a good plan. For us, we want to know what we’re capable of and this gave us some good data to go off. Off to Patagonia!
The truck is sitting higher in the front!.Trim them guards and remove the spring spacers that could also help weight distribution maybe lol
Front pretty much needs to be where it’s at to leave enough up travel to clear the oil pan. It sits level most of the time, when we’re fully loaded with fuel, water and food it squats a tad.
Watching from New Zealand good work guys
Loving the content guys hope you’re having a time - would love to see the in between stuff aswell for the whole trip. Timelapse’s of highway driving and inside the back stuff
We will definitely be doing more in depth travel content as the trip progresses.
You might think about adding a hand throttle. It would be easier on the clutch and more controllable. Great vid
Good content. Can't wait for the next video!
Must be nice to finally take off the winter jackets and go with T-shirts
It sure was nice for 2 days haha!
It wheels great but could use lower gear ratios or a marlin crawler solution. One thing about the 80 series suspension and that kind of weight (like a heavy laden 80 series) is they don't float over mud and such. They prefer sinking to the bottom and clawing along.
Y'all need some flex seal tape on hand.. you never know what's going to happen. Trees like to jump out like the one in this video.
Great video! Grease your universal joints. 👍
You’ve heard of elf on a shelf… here’s canucks in a chinook.
I love the build and the content! Have you considered extending the frame like the aussies do? Idk what kind of fabrication would go into the camper portion but it would really help with the weight distribution
Thanks! We’re definitely past the point of that now.
Quarter panels need more protection. Like some big hoops or something
Gonna be interesting to see how much the body can endure with all the frame twisting.
This kind of stuff feels a lot better than the heavily corrugated backroads.
what a nice rig!! an indiscret question, besides the countles hours working on it. what is a ballpark price as you guys have it now?
Just gonna put it out there that a 1hdt swap would be great for the weight distribution 😂
True! Would also need a 12 inch hood scoop!
I smashed the like button, now I need a new mouse :P
Hahaha
I can't tell if you had duel transfer cases 2.8 in the front and 4.7 in the rear it would crawler over everything
That’s a good sign if you can’t tell!
have you thought about cutting out both wheel wells on the line just above the arch?
Yes…. It’s hard to do but may be necessary
Happy you guys got to witness Sedona. I like to imagine that whoever came up with the phrase " Pictures don't do it justice " they were thinking of Sedona.
Truth!
Good video. I was the one who said it looked like you had clearance issues. Make sure you trim to clear not just the tires going straight but also turned in at full lock. Safe travels to you both.
bring it to eco wash after your trip i wanna clean this beast
Do you have reduction gears in the t-case?might help to smooth out the use of throttle while crawling along
HEEELLLLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Drive your house!!!
Where's the beer?
Was this in 4 low? Maybe it's not low enough? Can re gear the transfer case?
Y'all have been in Arizona awhile now. When are you planning on crossing the border?
Details coming soon…
Sedona has nice trails, but they are not difficult in the slightest. Come on down to Phoenix and we can put that on some food trails. We can run you north of Mesa and put in a good test.
Looks like you guys will be eating scrambled eggs for a few days.
Hahaha
Is dually posible ?
Got a question. I you aftermarket body mounts. Or what and what the ride like ??
Custom body mounts
Do you have a 4.7 low range?
2.6
4:15 that didnt sound good...
I could do this in 2000 vw beetle
Post it up!
What trail was that?
Soldiers Pass!
@@ToyotaWorldRunners thank you for replying I’ve been watching the build and trip I’m so impressed with the trying and doing y’all have
You put a dent in your mortgage free house...
Are you bringing that to King Of The Hammers to show off, not wheel? 🥸
Yup!
