Yeah, I was actually so crammed into the wheel wells that I couldn't turn the wheel so it was more a result of that that I got damage than the instructions. But you're right that clearer verbal directions would definitely be more helpful!
@@brianwatson3705 That does sound scary. Cody and I have been on several trips together so far, so we have pretty good communication. Despite no verbal indication of driver or passenger, I could totally understand what he was telling me to do and he got me down through this section, so it worked out. Still, it's probably best to come up with some rules/standards when offroading so that everyone knows what to expect!
@@AllThingsOverlandingand Roger that on what @Brian Watson said. Every wheeling “group” and even wheeling with the wife the universal “driver / passenger” seems to be the standard. I learned this when a buddy invited me to go “wheelin” for the first time ever. We went with large club group where they had vehicle inspections and a drivers meeting before hitting the trail. Wow, what an intro to wheeling, I was hooked and I found and bought an Xterra within a week 👍 lol.
And what was the lift size I just put a rough country 2.5 lift on mine and I’m trying to figure out if I can fit 33’s I currently have 285/75/16 on them
@@AllThingsOverlanding What size rim? I wanna get 33‘s but I have the SE 17 inch rims I’m hearing that to 285 70 Fit but then some people say the rim is wider and contacts the frame
@@balakays550 Ahh, gotcha. 17” rims. I had 1.5” spacers all around and with stock SE wheels and Level 8 MK6’s I had no rubbing outside of the back of the front wheel wells. I got away with the melt mod on my stock wheels but with the Level 8’s I ended up trimming about half an inch of metal off the rear of the front wheel wells.
Question,I think it was in part 1 when yall stopped for the slider install, i went by that shop and i am thinking of pulling trigger compared to some that bolt and drill on. Any feedback on those sliders?Thanks
Yeah, I was lucky I even recorded it because I was pretty nervous about the whole section of the road, but figured if I was going to flop the truck, I might as well catch it on camera :D.
@@lazerrred It's so funny how people that haven't been offroading don't get how sketchy some of that stuff is and cameras just don't seem to capture it the same as it is in real life, :D.
I've been listening to the podcast on Spotify. Clicked over to TH-cam and the first video popped up of you at LBL which is where I frequently visit. Those washouts can get you. Keep up the good work.
I live close to LBL and we’ve been out there a bunch of times, I’ve never run across any 400 series roads…but if you do please let the rest of us locals know! Lol
@@AllThingsOverlanding I'm not sure on the horse trail part of it. Never really looked at their trails. I paid attention to the 412 sign cause my wife asked what would they consist of and wasn't sure. Had my teardrop behind me so didn't want to explore to much of the unknown
@@heavy_dadventures3293 Ahh, you saw a sign. That's even more legit then! I thought Gaia was trying to tell me something about the roads, like they weren't actual roads, but it's always hard to tell. I wouldn't go down them with a teardrop either, :D.
Question is what's the gap between the hood & front quarter panels. If the reveal is same all good. Just push it in by hand or give it the infamous hockey hip check.
Yeah, it just pulled the fenders a bit. I folded back up the sharp edge of the metal on the passenger side (with a 4 pound hammer) and I think I'm good to go, :D.
Awesome! They’re great trucks. If you haven’t already seen them, I’ve got a bunch of videos on the mods and upgrades I’ve made to the truck if it’s helpful!
@@AllThingsOverlanding I've been wanting one for a long time, originally wanted to pick up a 1st gen, and still might one day, but would like to pick up a second gen first. My tundra is in need of a little work as It's just about to hit the 300,000 mile mark, so I'm going to be in need of a second vehicle so it's my opportunity, just wish I would have bought one before covid, used vehicle prices are outrageous, so looking for a high mile unit, looking at two this weekend, an 08 and a 14 base model with a ton of miles. We will see.
@@ryanjewell9832 Yeah, prices right now are nuts. I love the first gen X's, but honestly, the 2nd gen beat them in almost all categories. I'd like to have both some day, just for fun. Good luck on your search!
@@AllThingsOverlanding thanks, I do really like the look of the first gens, I remember drooling over them at the nissan dealership when they first came out as i was in there to pick up parts for my 240sx, (miss that car a lot as well) and had plenty of opportunities to get one but then always ended up needing something else.
@@ryanjewell9832 A first GEN Xterra was the first Nissan I ever drove and that was what convinced me to buy my first one. Since then I’ve had about 12 different Nissans and I’m hooked.
Sweet! Yeah, it was really awesome. I'll definitely be going back now that I've got a bit of a handle on what's down there. There's still tons to explore!

Just a tip , turn passenger , turn driver. Yelling turn turn turn or giving hand direction doesn't always translate while offroading

@@AllThingsOverlanding I seen a woman almost flip her explorer at Interlake from her husband/boyfriend giving her bad directions. Scary moment

Stay tune...
Part 2 drops tomorrow!
What is your tire size setup
On this truck, they were 33 x 12.5 on 17's.
And what was the lift size I just put a rough country 2.5 lift on mine and I’m trying to figure out if I can fit 33’s I currently have 285/75/16 on them
What size are those tires
They're 33's, :D.
@@AllThingsOverlanding What size rim? I wanna get 33‘s but I have the SE 17 inch rims I’m hearing that to 285 70 Fit but then some people say the rim is wider and contacts the frame

@@AllThingsOverlanding omg thanks for the info not many people have the se. When u say spacers do u mean wheel spacer or coil spacers?
@@balakays550 Wheel spacers. I also had a rough country 2.5” spacer lift but the wheel spacers made the biggest difference for rubbing.
What was the Trail rated?
It’s not technically rated. It’s basically a Forest service road.
Question,I think it was in part 1 when yall stopped for the slider install, i went by that shop and i am thinking of pulling trigger compared to some that bolt and drill on. Any feedback on those sliders?Thanks
Sent ya an email, 😀
@@AllThingsOverlanding Got it! Thanks to you and Cody for your help!!
Heck yeah, I'm ready for this!
It's gonna be fun!
@Dillon Bishop Have a good week! Just a few more days!
@Dillon Bishop 👍
@@AllThingsOverlanding The day, it has arrived!
@@mr.dillpickle I'm psyched too! See you later today!
That was a pucker point in the video... always good to get thru those moments! Great video, thanks for sharing!

@@AllThingsOverlanding For sure the pucker factor just watching was pretty high.

@@AllThingsOverlanding you're welcome.

Haha, after I made this, I realized the error of my ways, lol. If I find some next time I'm there though, I'll let you know for sure! :D
There are some 400s. Seen 412 off of 319 last weekend. I recall a few more but cant remember exactly where I encountered them
@@heavy_dadventures3293 I know I saw some on my Gaia but I wasn't sure if that was legit or some sort of weird designation for horse trails or what.

It's just sheet metal. If you don't pick up a dent here and there, you aint wheelin. lol Backed into a stump the weekend before you were there.
Haha, yep. Battle scars, :D.
Loving the adventure videos. Mud, Bison, as first you don’t exceed…go around and a three legged dog.
Thanks bud. They are the most fun. Just need to find more ways/excuses to get out more!
Love the videos and keep up the great work!!
Thanks Tim! Appreciate the kind words!
This is awesome! I'll be on those 100 (maybe 200 😟) forest roads in my crossover awd. Can't wait to see those buffalo! Great content as always!
Awesome, have fun! Thanks!
Love the LBL! There are some very interesting sights to see along the forest roads. I hit a 100 road this summer that was like a 300.
Sweet! Yeah, it was really awesome. I'll definitely be going back now that I've got a bit of a handle on what's down there. There's still tons to explore!
