Awesome stuff guys!! Good life.
The production is downright impressive. It's not easy making informational entertaining but you guys get it. I'll be watching and re-watching until the new season lol.
Awesome! Can't wait to follow your adventure.
Subscribed after 2 minutes. Production is top notch and the taste in music is spot on. Bravo gentlemen, cannot wait till August!
Thanks Cory!
Awesome build! Looking forward to the new season!
That guy from the gear install place needs his own channel. He's so chill! Hell, you guys should bring him on a trip! Great personality.
The only thing more expensive than this build are the production values. Awesome video!
Awesome Edition, Love the show!!
Great job, can't wait!
August?! You're killin me! The new 4runner looks great. I can't wait for the new episodes. The music was really good in this episode, too.
Good! The Vegabonds are the perfect fit for tunes.
Can't wait for this!
Nice looking rig, and useful!
Well thought out and executed gentlemen. safe moding and travels.
Thanks a million!
Tyler's a bad ass mechanic yoo
Nice video, thanks for sharing 👍
pretty bad ass guys! cant wait to see the next series
Thanks Chris!
Awesome job guys can't wait to see more
Thank you!
Very nice build! Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, thanks!
Yes! Looking forward to season 3, fellas. My wife and I are planning our first overlanding trip here in Oregon, due in no small way to the inspiration we found from your series. Cheers! :o)
That's awesome guys. Best wishes to you and safe travels!
Thank you! To you as well! Also, remember to keep the rubber side down. ;-)
Thanks!!! Great inspiration!!!
Thank you so much!
Love the build.My dream Build
Thank you!
Man... I wish I had $70,000 to drop into a trail rig! Wow!
You don't need that to enjoy the out doors in the middle of no where ( ALL FOR LOOKS Most of all the people that have these rigs don't even go off pavement I see them all the time polished and on the freeway in traffic, A RIG WON"T GET YOU OUT AND ABOUT, U WILL
@@tomkral1030 there are mall crawlers. But just because they have washed their car since their last trip doesn’t mean they never go off road or on trips. Having it as a daily driver too, and I guess cleaning it doesn’t preclude use off pavement.
Sharp looking truck!
When you find a great new channel and they have an amazing backlog.
Heck yeah!
Looking forward to season 3. Lets see more wheeling and less talking this season.
One day I will build a dream car like your 4Runner 😃. Great job guys
Thank you Aziz!
Awesome rig!
Thank you! She's a bruiser!
Great looking build on the 4Runner wish I had some more information on the lift
Great work mate! Congrats! Cool truck )))
Thanks a million and thanks for watching. Cheers!
Great video loved the music!!!
Thank you!
very cool !
guys amazing... congrats
Thanks Jesus!
do you guys have plans to come to Africa in the future
Great build video. Nephew (8) and I enjoyed seeing how your expedition rigs are put together. Also cool to see you guys enjoying Devils Backbone Eight Point IPA, shame they sold out to Anheuser Busch.
Thanks Colin! There's still love for DBB!
Congratulations, excellent work. Have you done any similar work with a Toyota Tundra ?.
August?!! I can't wait
Neither can we!
100% bad ass
Thanks Rogelio!
subscribed!!! way too cool!
Thanks so much!
sick af
One thousand :D
Good work!
Awesome
the australian way american style, like it!!!
Thanks Luis!
i remember seeing your 4-runner driving down 419/electric road.
It's still over there but doesn't drive 419 much any more.
August! Ya killing me!
LOL if the stars align, maybe sooner - Cheers!
There's 31 days in August :-)
+r0blashley no, sorry if it came across that way. We will begin releasing the series weekly on Wednesdays at 7:00 in August. Thanks!
So incredibly jealous of this build.
She's a beauty, thanks!
Anything stopping someone from snipping the straps on the Maxtraxx bag and walking away with $400? I hope it has a few holes in the back to run a steel cable through.
Not a problem for us. We ditch the tracks when we aren't exploring; these are our daily drivers too.
pumped, can wait for the new season ! and not hard to tell your dealing with Toyota USA, theres no way Toyota Canada would modify a truck ! they gave me such a hard time about my 3'' lift on my Tacoma, I had to take it off.
haha I had a Vibration, and they said it was from the lift..... and wouldn't look at it until it was off, not sure if you're in Canada or not but Toyota Canada is Nothing like Toyota USA, they don't even like bigger than stock tires..... it's insane...
+Matthew James I don't have vibrations - you can remedy that with a pinion drop kit. I did t have to do that fortunately.
Matthew James
Love your stuff so far, the music is great as well. Just don't aimlessly kill any innocent ancient Aztec spiders please. Cheers!
[laughing inside] Sweet, thanks for the props dude!
Love the build on the T4R! Can I ask what not a Premium with sunroof and leather? I am thinking of ditching Tacomas and getting a 4runner first qtr next year and I don't really need leather, and figured i'd cover the seats anyways with covers. Your thoughts?
Keep up the good work, I met you guys at Expo East, Awesome group of gents!
PS: How do you like the iPad mount there in the T4R? Think it's a RAM unit that bolts to a seat rail bolt correct?
Tacoma's will always have more space including the bed, but the T4R comfort level is a step above. To each their own I suppose. We like both platforms. Thanks, we hope to see you at Expo again. We haven't settled on a perfect solution for the iPad in the T4R yet.
Any ideas on setting up a 4Runner for 2 adults, 2 kids?
What recover point is that do yall have a link to it?? Love yalls vids keep up the good work!!!
It's an ARB recovery point. You can contact ARB USA for details.
what kinda of Old Man Emu shocks did I see you guys put on the rear end? I have a 14' T4R and am planning on going with OME myself, those didnt look like the typical Nutrocharger shocks?
Jason, what made you switch to AT for the tacoma? I know the MT is "fun" to drive and keeps things intersting. But does AT have the edge in terms off road use because of the additional features?
You nailed it. Off road capability and nimbleness was big piece of it but honestly it was drivability for the rest of the family that was the biggest piece. Add that all to get with passing cups of Cheerios and bottles of water to a toddle and it all made sense.
Nice build! What's the brand of the rear bumper on the 4runner?
so much for good old country boys....
That red recovery point you installed on the 4runner, what brand is that and will it fit on the tacoma? if not what do you suggest for a recovery point on a second gen tacoma? I have an ARB Deluxe Bar like yours and and unsure about rated recovery points on the front of my truck.
If you don't have the ARB recovery point, the factory point is your only option depending on the bumper you have. They do have a recovery point for a Hilux and I'm farily certain it'll fit a Tacoma. You'll need to verify that with a quick call to ARB USA. Thanks Tommy!
I have a 2016 Trial Premium with KDSS in Richmond, so I'm excited to see the New England adventures and hope to catch up with you on a future trip - thanks for the video!
Questions - are you guys using the BP-51 setup for a FJ on the 4R? or is it a pre-production model? What about KDSS? You guys mention spacers for the stabilizers, but not sure if you needed a work-around for KDSS...
Those BPs were the first 4Runner install with ARB. They do have a KDSS option. I think they are very similar to the FJ kit if not the same. Contact ARB directly to be sure.
Thanks for the info - I also would like to understand more about the mods to the Bull Bar that's only made for the 2010-13 models - ARB makes some great equipment but for some reason has left out the latest 4runner from the good stuff - also love the new season & excited to see where you guys go next...
The GVWR is 6300lbs, with all of the installations were do you stand weight wise? How much do the new shocks compensate for the loads?
Vegabonds now on my Dirt Roads playlist. Can you pls spec the radio you placed in console?
That's awesome! They rock!
poler stuff!
Excellent work guys! You have some nice rigs! I've watched all of the seasons, and have just finished the second round of Season 3. As an amateur radio operator, I'm interested in details on your antenna setup... What did you use for antennas on the 4runner's front bumper?
Also, I noticed the bumper sticker on the back of Boomer the Camper Van... Cool to see another ham (Spencer) in the northeast really interested and involved in overlanding!
the MSO trucks run CB and GMRS antennas. The camper van runs CB, GMRS and Ham antennas. Our primary radio of use was a Midland MXT100 Micromobile GMRS radio. That radio is a game changer for the price point and audio is either clear or OFF. Best reception during the trip was 4 miles.
Are you still happy with the mxt100
I'm torn between getting a Tacoma and 4Runner Trail edition. Which truck do you guys like better? I'm leaning towards the Tacoma because of the truck bed space since it'll be my DD, family car and off-road vehicle. But I do like the interior space, head room and looks of the 4Runner over the Taco. Really tough choice.
If space is your objective, you'll get more from a Tacoma with a cap over the bed. Both vehicles are dreamy; with the 4Runner leading the way on creature comforts.
good job
Thanks so much, it's a good time a bit of work but it's worth it to see comments like that, cheers!
Mountain State Overland I wish you good luck
What antenna are you using for the Midland micro mobile?
What vehicle was this bumper designed for? Wondering if a 2011 ARB will fit structurally on a 2006.
did you run spacers to fit 285/70/17s on the 4runner oem wheels? i have volk racing TE37X 18x9s with 285/65/18s and it fits but I'm curious about what to do with my 17s since the stock tires aren't so great. are the spacers needed? what did you run?
We are running spacers, but they aren't necessary to fit. The spacers actually resulted in more rubbing.
they went to sout america in the last season?
is that tent just attached to the cross bars, or do you have a roof rack?
We have Yakima CoreBars underneath the tent on each truck
From a pure off-road perspective do you prefer the 4Runner or the Tacoma? Or is it about the same?
Is that negative camber on the 4runner? looks like it
Does the 4runner still have the BP-51's? Any issues maintenance wise with them?
It does. Same shocks and over 60K miles on them if my guess is right. No problems.
I see that you guys used Yakima for the rrt instead of using a roof rack. Did you have any issues with it I'm currently building my rig I have a 2016 TRDP and if the Yakima work I'll go that route and use the money saved somewhere else on my rig
Yes we did, thanks for watching! No issues. We used the new CoreBar system and no issues at all.
+Mountain State Overland thanks for the reply, and keep with the videos hope to see you guys on the trail one day
@Mountain State Overland, what's the name of the song at the outtro? I'm digging through iTunes trying to figure this out! Love the show, can't wait for Season 3!!!
Scratch that, the song is "Hope She's Still Mine" I didn't realize how long that song was, should just be two different ones!
Yeah, great song! We have a link on our home page. Thanks for watching!
The footage looks really crisp with great color. What are you filming with?
Several cameras and drones. Our primary camera is a Canon 5D MKIII.
I was most curious about the ground level and interview shots anyway, so thanks!
Can old 4 runners of 2006 model be rebuilt to a super over landing van?
Hey I saw u guys with an iPad mount where can I get one to buy
What size drawer did you use for the Tacoma and how did you mount it?
Its a big honking drawer. The passenger bed has a full length pull out. The drivers side has a fridge and another cabinet behind it. The system is all bolted to a sheet of plywood that's anchored to the bed of the truck.
Are they Nitro Gears? Notice an increase in NVH? I went Nitro 4.56 in a cruiser and man they are noisy. They are setup right, but the front is a howler.
Yep, Nitros. There was humming during the break in but at around 3K miles the growling went away. Did a gear oil swap at 500 miles too.
i test drove the 4runner trail and found it under power with absolutely no load, how does it handle the expedition weight? on those beefy tires?
It gets pretty bogged on hills, but I think he's going to change the shift points and probably re-gear as well.
What kind of communication and navigation systems do you guys have set up?
They showed their communications, Midland GMRS.
+rogue109 thanks for sharing the details!
NICE .. What company did your vinyl ?
Fas Signs. Quick and easy!
can you put up a parts list up .? that would be cool
Wow, we could. Maybe we'll do that on the website ;-) Stay tuned!
that would make things easier i think
Spotted in Rockland Ferry terminal
Yep, that was us! We were trying to capture some shots ;-)
We drove by you guys while you were taking pics. We headed down to the boat yard to look around. Jotted down the web address on the rig and checked it out.
wow
Are those ko2s on the 4runner 285/70r17s or 285/75r17s?
285/70R17
What is the phone holder on the windshield in the 4Runner?
Ram Mount X Grip
@11:25 you guys mention something about an 'attic". Really interested in that product, but couldn't understand!!! Could you let me know what that was? Thanks for the awesome video.
It's a Blue Ridge Overland Gear 4Runner attic; it's been very useful!
How much will cost to put the same kind of bumper for 2016 Tacoma? I live in Austin
Check with ARB USA, they just released the 2016 Summit Series bumper for the Tacoma.
super handsome guys.
You guys do anything with Expedition Overland?
Albino Neopolitan no we havent
Mountain State Overland That would be very cool if you did a west coast adventure, hanging out with that crew. Also you guys should get reviews of your rigs done by Expedition Portal. Great stuff guys
what is the iPad mount you have on the 4runner
The mount is a RAM X-Grip
What size are those tyres bro ???
How will you hear the radio if it's in the console?
Turn up the volume, it's plenty loud.
how much would you say you put in accessories on this build ? trying to budget one similar
$15K should get you close. The tent or sleeping solution can usually cost you the biggest chunk. This 4Runner may go for sale if you're interested - email gsaliba13@gmail.com for details
@@msoverland id love to but im in canada 😭
I hate to ask but how (much worse) is the gas mileage on the 'Runner with the 488 gears (and of course the weight of the upgrades)
The gears went on our Tacoma. Gas mileage did drop a bit but the gears are set where they need to be now. Before the powerless was a major concern pulling trailers in the woods.
Mountain State Overland
Oh, okay - my mistake. I guess the gears were for the towing needs, and you're not going to tow with the T4R...
Who did you get your dual battery system from? I have been looking for a quality one for a while now.
ShrockWorx has the dual battery system
ShrockWorx has the dual battery system
ShrockWorx has the dual battery system
Mountain State Overland what is the brand of the CB radio system you guys use? That thing was awesome and small. Much nicer then my large one
Let us know how the midland micro works out. I am considering one!
I'm confused about the number of people lately who want to go GMRS. You need a specific license for GMRS that is not included with the whole HAM tech. license, its a separate deal. Additionally, a HAM tech license will give you far more capabilities, options and way more power (range). GMRS radios are 5 watts, 2m mobile are 15 to 100 watts (selectable) and far better range. If you are going to get licensed, why not go HAM? My overlanding group (NorthWestOverland) uses 2m...it's super clear and not at all difficult to get licensed for.
+rogue109 yes, but there is also no test, no groups to join, no conversations about signal flow and wave propagation patterns to suffer through, no pressure whatsoever. I can order the license online just as easy as shopping at Amazon. It is convenient in a way that HAM will never be.
Also, the GRMS license covers your entire family, kids, spouses, brothers and sisters, parents ... And they don't have to do anything.
***** HAM has no groups to join, no pressure...whatever you are talking about. I did not know about the license covering multiple family members, so that's good info that I'd need to look into. However you are still limited to 5 watts on a few channels whereas the HAM license (which is also easy to get unless you are some kinda special stupid) gives you far more capabilities.
+rogue109 Wrong. www.nihill.net/rigmrs/need2know.htm
Output to 50Watts, repeater accessible, and how many channels do you need to be changing to while your driving.
How much did everything cost? (Not including the Truck)
Minus install time you're looking at close to $11K for a full build.
What's that red Tacoma have on it? In the beginning of the video.
Are you referring to the bumper? That's an ARB Deluxe Bar steel winch bumper.
Thank You
How did you guys get a Demerbox?
We picked up our DemerBox straight from DemerBox.
What brush guard was on the 4Runner?
ARB Deluxe Bar
