Good shake down trail for Tonto and you don’t have PS . We’re planning a trip to Death Valley in our 40 , while your under the hood replace the PCV valve we just now replaced ours after 20 years .
Very fun run video! My Ol ‘76 always put a smile on my face to drive. Nothing fancy, not bells no whistles! Thanx for taking us along in your very capable rig! Best wishes, Robert PNW
Fun video! It was so satisfying watching Tonto go over the terrain! I’ve not done Charleau Gap as so many people tell me “it will damage something!” So I’m chicken!
One of the few things that survived the fire that took out my house and shop, is my 1970 CA soft top FJ40 I learned to drive in with my Grandfather. A bummer was the hard top my grandfather had acquired burned. It has a 3 on a tree, th 1f motor. I put a DUI electronic igintion and a 38cfm webber carb. It was nice. The I put a 350 ram jet engine in it, air lockers power steering, nice skid plates and sliders, all while the new Rubicon type Jeeps started coming and then I realized whoops should've left it less touched. Then I remembered its mine and no one else gets her, is a lifetime commitment with my FJ40.
I love watching your adventures, the tonto stories remind me why I've been married to a baby shit brown 78 fj 40 for 20yrs. You guys should Bring Tonto up to Idaho In the Spring we have a few trails here along the Salmon River..This video made me home sick for those trails around Mt. Lemon, I worked flew out of Pinal Airpark for years and understand how nice it is down there in December.."Scouts Out" ...Keep the greasey side down..
Riding in an old 4x4 like Tonto, you're so connected to the machine, the trail, and your surroundings. Loved this episode guys. Cant wait to see what new adventures you have in store!
That was the squeaky noise my 75 FJ40 made. Kinda funny hearing that, since I haven't heard that exact noise in 20 years. Double sided glue down pad and commercial glue down carpet for the roof. Do it!
Love the new intro, well thought out with an excellent ending of the two of you together as the Hello Dreamer finishes with see what tomorrow brings. Nice job!
Sorry you had to cut your over seas trip short. But glad that both of you are ok and Tonto is getting more attention. Of course I am bias my 71 fj40 which I call Yeti. It's my go to rig when I get home from driving my semi truck. Winter or summer it always starts s , even at -20.
FJ was definitely not for comfort but definitely was built for getting you anywhere reliability. Btw your old logo looks so much like our club logo... Kinda cool
Tonto is so beautiful! When I saw you guys at the LC museum a couple years ago I think I teared up a bit, remembering my 1967 FJ. Saw you guys on Oracle the other day. You can’t hide. That little LC really stands out. Take care you two!
Great job in the new intro. Loved the mix of shots of different ways to adventure. Looking forward to whatever you two do next. Sailing is awesome....just sayin!
I was going to say, who needs long travel when 3 wheels will take you the same place 4. I had a stock Suzuki Samurai for awhile and that thing would take you places it had no business going.
besides the awesome fun you guys are having! I have my reserves about the name chosen for the rig, meaning a brute in my language. I gave my bj40 a sligtly more dignifying name, being fade green is called the dollar!
You not fancy a cheap RV to live in, hold bikes, tow Tonto - and keep Tonto light for day/few day adventures away from base? Only as that is how I work with my big truck and little Jimny :) Kev
@Dirt Sunrise Adventures hence the cheap :) I'm just preparing for most of 23 you not travelling, fixing house, saving up, maybe just a month or 2 away "buzzing" round Asia before back to US and saving for new overland vehicle. But if you you'll be flying to South Africa and buying something there next Easter and carrying on then maybe not worrh it.
Looks good fun . If I had false teeth I'm sure that drive would've rattled them out. I look forward to your next adventure. Happy Christmas from The Peak District UK
Wow, Ive been following you guys since the pan am highway! Thank you so much for such killer content. I freaking love Tonto! Right now Im still rocking my 2010 Subaru Forester. Gonna attempt the pan am in her. Im always trying to figure out whats next, I know I want 4x4 and bigger. That FJ40 looks super legit. Its just me, so I could fit so much in there. Sorry if I missed it, but whats your mpgs like, loaded up?
That's cool. The Subaru would be a fun PanAm car. Fuel was by far and away our biggest travel cost. The FJ40 prob gets 10-16 depending on how we drive and whether we're on dirt or tarmac.
@@SaltySunriseSailing The only thing keeping me from getting something bigger is the mpgs! After 8k miles all around the SWUS, fully loaded, I averaged 23.1mpgs, and a whole lot of that was dirt/gravel! You guys are awesome, thanks so much for all the inspiration!
@@ancientoverland5387 If you get your hands on a 1HZ or 1HDT engined Toyota diesel you'll get similar mileage. Even with our Maltec loaded down with 62 Gallons of diesel we'd get 20-24MPG giving a ridiculous range. Still, if you know your vehicle and it's quirks and how to fix it, why not stick with it. Enjoy!

Grate to see you guys again tonto is very strong same noise on hj45 to but like they said if you have a Toyota don’t drive it enjoy it sheers guys
Very fun run video! My Ol ‘76 always put a smile on my face to drive. Nothing fancy, not bells no whistles! Thanx for taking us along in your very capable rig! Best wishes, Robert PNW
Thanks Robert!
You could spend 50k and the 10k additionally, or you could drive Tonto the Stud with class........ I choose Tonto..... Blessings to you and yours:)
He's always ready for an adventure. Simple is good. Cheers!
Fun video! It was so satisfying watching Tonto go over the terrain! I’ve not done Charleau Gap as so many people tell me “it will damage something!” So I’m chicken!
Thankfully most obstacles have bypasses and we're happy to tank them! Haha!
Saw Tonto parked at my favorite MTB trailhead today. Hope you guys had fun!

That's cool to have so much history with one truck. It's a family member for life.

The baby poop olive, sea foam, mustard etc are some amazing colors. Somehow the uglier they are the prettier they are. Haha!
Love your videos makes me wanna drive my truck. You guys are awesome!
They just put a smile on your face!
Riding in an old 4x4 like Tonto, you're so connected to the machine, the trail, and your surroundings.
Loved this episode guys. Cant wait to see what new adventures you have in store!
Thanks! We've got some fun stuff planned. Cheers!
Digging the new intro. Onto the next chapter!
Onward and upward!
Awesome to see Tonto out and about again...
Thanks Nick, we agree!
You know we love FJ40's!!!! If ever your rolling through Colorado Springs, please stop in!!!
Sounds like a plan!
Good to see Tonto back in action!
That was the squeaky noise my 75 FJ40 made. Kinda funny hearing that, since I haven't heard that exact noise in 20 years. Double sided glue down pad and commercial glue down carpet for the roof. Do it!
That sounds like a good plan!
So nice to see you back in your natural hábitat 😁. The smiles on both says a lot. BTW, like the new Intro Kelsey 👌
It feels nice to be back in the simple truck with less to take care of. :-)
Nice jeep. Good mechanical condition.
Just Found this one. Nice to see you guys in tonto
Love the new intro, well thought out with an excellent ending of the two of you together as the Hello Dreamer finishes with see what tomorrow brings. Nice job!
Thank you kindly! We're loving changing things up!
Sorry you had to cut your over seas trip short. But glad that both of you are ok and Tonto is getting more attention. Of course I am bias my 71 fj40 which I call Yeti. It's my go to rig when I get home from driving my semi truck. Winter or summer it always starts s , even at -20.
40's are made from some amazing stuff. They never let you down!
Love this video! Very cool!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am so excited to see you take that little guy further.
Check out the FJ40 playlist to see his past epic adventures. 🤙
FJ was definitely not for comfort but definitely was built for getting you anywhere reliability. Btw your old logo looks so much like our club logo... Kinda cool
They just love doing work. Can't keep a good FJ down.
Well I've driven ours Kansas to Moab Utah. Definitely suffered from Cruiser knee!
Tonto is so beautiful! When I saw you guys at the LC museum a couple years ago I think I teared up a bit, remembering my 1967 FJ. Saw you guys on Oracle the other day. You can’t hide. That little LC really stands out. Take care you two!
It's wild how you run into people again and again. Hopefully we'll see you around town while we're here.
Great job in the new intro. Loved the mix of shots of different ways to adventure. Looking forward to whatever you two do next. Sailing is awesome....just sayin!
Thanks so much! We're enjoying shaking things up!
Nice work Tim & Kelsey! Tonto adventures are so satisfying! Love it!
Thanks Mike!
I was going to say, who needs long travel when 3 wheels will take you the same place 4. I had a stock Suzuki Samurai for awhile and that thing would take you places it had no business going.
Samurais are so fun. They just eat up terrain that looks like they'd never make it up.
besides the awesome fun you guys are having! I have my reserves about the name chosen for the rig, meaning a brute in my language. I gave my bj40 a sligtly more dignifying name, being fade green is called the dollar!
Haha his full name is Tonto Rockford.
such a great vehice
He's a peach!
Tonto LIVES!
👊
Love the new intro 🎉 👍
Thanks! 😃
The return of Tonto =D
Tonto Lives!
We like the Baja steeeker
Haha! It's good stuff!
Nice updated intro - and into season 3! :) Will carry on watching now.
You not fancy a cheap RV to live in, hold bikes, tow Tonto - and keep Tonto light for day/few day adventures away from base? Only as that is how I work with my big truck and little Jimny :)
Kev
That would be a great setup for sure, just not sure how long we will be in the states.

Tim, did you go to U of A? Bear Down!
He did go to U of A! Bear Down!
Nice, I have a 77. I often compare the ride to a souped up lawnmower! Hit me up if you’re in the DC area. @mattallengroup
Haha a souped up lawnmower! That's not wrong haha! Thanks Matt!
