Man I wish he would still make these overlanding vlogs. In my opinion he was my favorite and one of the best in the biz.
@12.05 that approach angle !!
I eat those Bumble Bee tuna things for lunch at work. I eat lunch in my 05 Ford Escape Hybrid M-F. I ate in it when it was in the 20's here in Indiana just a couple weeks ago. Thankfully it's warming up!! 51 today at 6:37 am. Love your videos. You're so regular. Kids are great too!!
Nice shots!
Next time you're in Utah I'd love to show you around. Look up Nine Mile Canyon I can provide a really good free tour of the area. The San Rafael Swell is also a great place to visit. We could also get into the back country of Canyonlands. Maybe schedule a three day trip on White Rim Trail.
Love that you get the kids involved in a great sport. But you guys should step up your game with a small lift and some body armor so you don't mess up your pretty 4Runners
Nice dude
I love the trailer they are just so pricey.
Awesome!
you should use the kids to get the cameras
Subscribed!
Loved the effect where you switched your 4Runner and his back-and-forth. I’m just curious, what are your thoughts about the Toyota reliability. Did you have any issues?
You've got mad editing skills man. Great job. Great vid.
Totally enjoy you videos, great job. Thank you!
Nice you get to off road and spend time with your boys that is something they will always remember. Very cool area in Utah and that runner with trailer is boss!
Awesome ride. I love that you do all of this with your kids. My kids and I have our truck out on the beach every weekend hanging out, exploring and fishing. It is my favorite thing to do.
It looks like you have a trail edition, why didn't you use your crawl control on steep descents?
I want to be the 3rd person next time
I love the silver on the 4runner, looks so nice, plus silver is sooo much easier to maintain vs black/white/dark grey.
When remote camping, what is your bathroom set up?
Enjoying every episode! 👍🏻
Great content! Really enjoying your videos.
tip, don't hang your arm so far out. if you were to tip over, you won't get it in fast enough to save.
Just bought a new 4runner TRD off-road premium. Can't wait to try some of these trails! Thanks for the videos! They are awesome!
Congratulations, great videos, I'm witness of your progress in each crossing. The kids enjoyed it like you did. Hugs from Colombia.
Great job! Love the videos!
The production quality of your videos is just amazing. You should be proud.
Again. Awesome videos. How many days did you take to get out to moab?? I've been out there a handful of times mountainbiking.
Got my itching for some trails after seeing ur vids. Call me crazy, but traded my Range Rover for a 4Runner Trd Pro...no thanks to you!!!! and have done a few mods.....I have kids your age, and what a great experience.....I hope to do a few of my own. I live up here in the Boston area and am in Maine Vermont and upstate NY for work often....hoping to find a few good trails up here!!!
Great video, I love Fins N Things, Moab in general is a good time!
Awesome video man , look forward too all your videos!
Hey Jason, what time of the year did you guys do the Moab Trip? Paul North GA. 18miles from Tray Mtn...
Great video, I was shocked the trailer faired so well, but I guess you wanted to try it. Your entire trip is an adventure and the exploring abilities developed by you as a father is reflecting in your boys. Great Father-son activities.
Thanks!
Yea, I wasn't super surprised it did as well as it did, it's made to do just about whatever the 4runner can do - but it was great experience!
Really liked your editing cuts between both 4runners going down the same trail. Great job!
Frank Rebelo thanks! :)
Great video. Your videos have inspired me to search for adventure near my home. What I have found is amazing and I probably wouldn't have found it if I hadn't watched your channel. Thank you.
I just noticed your graphic there, I love it. The trailer certainly seems much bigger on the inside once it is fully deployed. Keep up the great work, Jason.
Thank you!
Love the trailer and basically your whole set up, lol keep up the great videos
Watching this VLOG from west of Lafayette.
Awesome job!
Great vlog loving the 5th gen runner thats one trip I want to take in my 4th gen runner.
Nice another great vlog. Love watching these.
The best part was at 6:28 man i love the little editing things like this!
Wow at 8:52 that was amazing! Man I love your videos.
Haha. Thanks! I love those little parts like that too, super fun to create!
Jason great video as usual you are one of my favorite channels.
Thanks Robert Squires !
I found it pretty intriguing that you mentioned muscle memory. I'm a welder, so I rely on muscle memory a lot. I never really thought about it when driving but you are absolutely correct. My two old trucks I don't even have to think about how I manuver them on the trail. It just comes naturally. My 4runner I have to be cautious just driving around town
Great work! Keep it up!
I'm so jealous, looks like great fun, I've only gotten mine muddy
awesome video and great editing. looking forward to tbe next one.
Best video so far. Amazing vehicle footage!
Thank you! Love the last name! haha! (presuming it's a harry potter reference - if it's not and it's actually your last name, then please take no offense)
Ha! Thanks man. It's actually my last name! No offense taken - I'm asked about it often.
Always fun to watch!
BTW it's time for you to get a set of sliders.
Mr. Lachance I have a set from slee. 😜
at this point in you adventures what was your set up and teardown time ?
Awesome job man and well done with the trailer. Keep these coming. Your vlogs do so much more than you think.
So awesomely edited.. well done!
Subscribed.....cool video. Did you just meet that guy? Or did you already know him? Made a for a cool vid
Looks like a lot of fun! Can't wait to take my son out there when he is old enough.
Gow big of a lift is on botha of ur runners?
Well, the first time I was in Moab I was quite nervous too an Fins N Things and Hells Revenge and other places. There are still spots on trails that cause some pucker factor. To me thats a good thing because it makes me more be more careful.... I love Ouray/Silverton/Telluride area of Co. as well .. there are some places there that bother me still and I have done them 4 or 5 times. One place I am not ready for is Black Bear Pass. Have fun your journeys. we always do...
Came across your channel today and so glad I did, had to subscribe. Awesome videos man, love your style of editing! Keep up the amazing work!
ipotch1 thanks man!
New sub! Great videos!!! Did Fin’s n things with my wife in our Tacoma, what’s rush! Nerve racking is right! Not sure about Hell’s Revenge, but you give me confidence! Keep up the great videos!
Parrish brewing is excellent beer! Great video as always Jason!
-A fellow Southern Lousisianaian
Great video as always. You deserve more than 2k subscribers!
First video of yours I've seen and I'm hooked. New subscriber here!!
I can't wait to take my 4Runner out there. I just hope I'll remember to test out all the features when I'm actually in the situation to use them. I saw it looked like you had your rear locker on going up that last uphill part, that's what I always instinctively resort to, but I'd love to really test out crawl control on spots like that just to see how it compares. I know the "rock" setting in the terrain select works pretty well, it's gotten me up some gnarly hills, but I never remember to test out crawl control haha.
Great video too, it's awesome to see your and your family having such a good time. Good on you for getting those kids out there and letting them grow up the way they are, they'll have awesome stories to tell their kids someday.
Yea I learned a lot! Funny enough, after Moab we were at Overland Expo West and I got some instruction time with one of the Land Rover instructors who gave me some awesome pointers as well!
That's great! I really need to go to one of those at some point. Until then, I'm going to keep watching and learning from your videos and living vicariously through you haha. I'll take some time off one of these days to go to some more places besides the ones right near me
just do it!
Your editing skills are insane!!!!
What video editor do you use?
Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻
I have found the Casey Neistat of Overlanding, and I love it!
stock wheels /lift? is truck stock or lifted?
You deserve money for these videos
Haha. Well, I've thought about starting a Patreon page for our channel, but I haven't really decided if that was the direction I wanted to go. Perhaps someday! Right now, I'm just having fun!
Just found your videos while doing research on the T4R for potential purchase. Great work! That's a great setup you have there, and quite an impressive amount of gear! :) It's funny, I was actually in Moab the same time as you were .I ran Fins 2 days before you did in a rented JK Rubicon (2 door). It was my first time in Moab, we went primarily to mountainbike, but I just HAD to get out on the trails in a Jeep at least once. Good call dropping off the trailer, and I can vouch that the camera never shows how steep some of that stuff actually is. There were a few times where I felt like I was going to put that Jeep on it's front bumper on some of the descents. And even with the super short overhang on a JK, I STILL scraped the receiver a few times.
Question for ya on the 4R: I may not have Trail money in the budget, do you have any experience wit the SR5? I can live w/out Crawl and MTS, but I LOVE the idea of the rear locker. Does the ATRAC at least partially compensate for the lack of the locker and perform better than open diffs? Thanks!
Nice work! I wished 4Runners were available outside US too! They are Prados, but prettier with more of a muscly look! :)
okay, -love the vlogs. I just bought a 2018 4runnner with a 3" lift and TRD wheels.. Im ready!! But, I love your vloges but what happened to your wife? does she not like camping or coming with you on your excursions?? I ask because my girlfriend is a CPA and she has no idea whats instore for what i have planned!!
Just like my two boys looking at electronics and not out the window haha
Maybe if you tag Bumble Bee Seafoods in your vlog, they would send you samples!! Y'all eat a lot of their tuna snack packs!
Matt Gilly hahaha. Seriously!!
My kids will not even touch tuna - nice work dad.
New sub here. I really love the videos, creative and clean shots, nice music and editing. Definitely deserve more subscribers.
Love your content and the fact you're not afraid to share when something doesn't go as planned (because keyboard warriors). Subscribed and to binge the rest of your vids, haha.
Mountain Life haha. Thanks!!
Man, you must get a lot of exercise running back and forth to get the cameras. Need to teach the kiddos to do it for ya! :P Great work man!
KillaBandit haha. Duuuude. You have no idea!! And the altitude and hills in Utah were killing me! Haha. Sometimes they go grab it for me. Or hang out by the camera and bring it!
One of my favorite vlogs thus far. All are good, but Moab is awesome and makes for great terrain and off-road paths. I like that trailer too. Little sketchy on some of those more vertical angles. Did you guys finally make the move to Utah? I'm in Fl and from watching earlier vlogs noticed you lived here, then you mentioned a move.
just did Fins last weekend, it's 15mph now and i still said the same thing! "don't think i'll be going over 15.." also i had to skip 7:06 due to snow and ice, had one brave dirtbike track through it.
Love your channel and your 4runner I need to trade in my sedan for it lol
If I where you i would approach BF Goodrich for some sponsorship! They can only say no!
Walt Masterson haha. I did. They ignored me.
Great video. Do you have a lift? And what is your tire size?
Watching your videos keeps making me want to sell my 3rd gen and get a 5th gen lol
Hey Jason, is your 4runner stock or do you have a lift? If lifted how much? BTW, great videos!!! Really enjoy them. One day maybe I'll have the time to go have fun. THANK YOU!
I was curious as well but found the info in his About tab.
OME 3" lift (lightweight springs)
285 KO2's
Spidertrax spacers
Jay Wanders Out
Thank you Jay for the direction to look in the about tab. Jason's rig didn't look that much over stock to me.
I thought the same thing. Maybe he just has bigger tires so it makes it look less raised. Not sure.
Great editing! What model 4runner do you have? (limited, sr5, etc.)
I've always wondered about wheeling at MOAB, doesnt the rock cause a lot of bindup in the driveline when in 4x4? The surface is pretty dry and grippy so i would imagine that it does
Somebody posted a pic of your rig on I-10 in Phx just a few days ago to a 4Runner group.
Twisting Terrain cool! In Phoenix? I haven't been there...
Jason Koertge must have been someone else. Looked exactly the same! Great rig and set up!
Twisting Terrain do you have a link? I can confirm or deny! I was in flagstaff in may - not too far!
In vlog 27, you said that the power bogs down hard when on an incline towing the trailer and all of your gear/food. I don't know if you've been talking about doing this on your channel, seeing as I'm a new subscriber, but equipping your Toyota with a better intake and exhaust setup could free up your engine a little more and add a decent amount of power along with it
im digging the videos! i just recently bought Trd off road and im super stoked! quick question, did you put a lift kit on this video? or was it still factory?
What model 4Runner do you have? SR5, TRD Off Road or TRD Pro?
Where can I get that shirt you’re wearing it’s awesome
I'm quite surprised that you don't have more subscribers. Your videos are much like Casey Neistat but they strike a whole different niche. I like this type of subject... off roading, overlanding, camping and definitely family time. Great job! Keep it up, I've subscribed to your channel and I want to see you explore more areas. I'd also like to see some veo-coordinates in your subject field especially where you found that cave in Cypress/Citrus, I guess I should've commented that video. Haha! Awesomeness, keep it up.
Casey is a shill for the highest bidder. This is like you said, niche and one mans own journey and story.
Wouldn't it be safer if Jake removed that mount on his tow bar? I was just imagining the rear dropping down and bending the entire thing up.
does your 4runner have kdss?
Vinh Vuong ok
I think KDSS was really meant for the Limited version since it's really meant for highway driving. I'm just guessing here but I think he has a Trail Premium.
Jay Wanders Out trail premium has kdss as an option and yeah he does have kdss
one of the best edited offloading channels. A couple tips. one keep your arms inside the vehicle, it's good habit to learn. The habit of keeping arms in side will save you when things do go wrong. 4wheeling is like everything else, its not if but when will something go wrong. Two, If you are ever doing trails in Colorado an things do go wrong, there is a group called colorado 4x4 rescue and recovery that will help. Just my 2 cents.
That's great feedback and I can definitely see how things could go wrong! Thanks for the tips!
Switching between 4Runners as they were going down hill was epic. You’ve got talent. I’m not gonna lie, I stopped watching after you sold the Toyota.
Be wise, you have a family. BUT
if you can afford it, I think you'd benefit from a lift and slightly bigger tires.
How do you like your HID lighting? I was thinkning about doing it to my 2019 TRD Pro however this article scared me: www.autotrader.com/car-news/please-stop-installing-aftermarket-hid-headlights-258582
Xenon depot. It’s the way to go. Couldn’t be happier
love ur videos man, but keep your dang arms in the truck! scaring me
can you please turn the music down on your videos. sometimes your voice isnt very loud and then you cut music in which is very loud. I love the videos btw!
I am from south of Lafayette and would like to follow the other guy with you on Instagram or something if he has one. Maybe go hit some trails together
Great video! I must ask do you have a bad neck? You seem very stiff in all the videos.
Did you air down at all? If not, you should consider it, there are basically no downsides, unless you're going fast.
Jelmer van der Meer of course! I always run 18-20 on trail
Ah ok, your tires looked pretty firm from behind my keyboard, lol. Just a friendly suggestion :).
