Just want to say thanks for showing us everything and everywhere our trailer will be able to go when we pick it up next month!! And yes, we chose the Xpedition trailer because of you guys!
Nice trip! As far as the start is concerned, turn your ignition to start and wait until the noise of the fuel pump stops before cranking. Then start the engine and see if it starts right away. This can help you test for a bad (or going bad) fuel pump. Ask me how I know. :))
Great video Kevin! Enjoyed the rock crawling, overlanding and off camber footage (especially with the trailer). Not ususally a fan of drone footage but filming your friend off road as he was driving to meet you was really good. Also the zoom perspective of your friend from the drone (and associated commentary) was cool. Interesting how he followed the same left turn as you. Additionally I liked the canyon footage near the end (if I remember correctly) of last week's video (you actually showed this canyon again at the beginning of this video). National park level in my opinion. Finally, the location of this video's camp looked awesome. Kevin, are you able to do a video on how you go to the bathroom (specifically the duece) and shower? Do you use a special tent? Do you use a petrol station or restaurant bathroom? What about toilet paper or do you employ a type of bidet? What about soap? How do you set up your shower? Any particular routine you recommend to make the process more efficient. I get a bit anxious after watching your videos because you eat so much delicious food but then I wonder "Did they go to the bathroom? They certainly have been on the road for a few days and I hope they are not holding back any bowel movements." I realize this may read funny (however I assure you I know why they are shooting at the cans, have not incurred a lawsuit against my version of opti-grab and am ok with being served wine from 1969 but no earlier than 1969) but cannot figure out a comprehensive way to conduct this sort of business when in nature. Cheers
Any modern offroad vehicle has this issue as there isn't a "tow" setting like some pickups have. Especially in automatics, the shifting is all off with that extra weight, sport keeps the transmission in a lower gear longer.
Kev, With the intermittent tank issues/evap codes, id bet you are having an evap issue causing the hard start concern. EVAP concerns can definitely cause a hard starting concern
Check your fuel pressure; it could be the fuel pump. I do believe there is way to test the injectors for leakage. If you need to replace them, I would use the OEM. After market infector tend to be not very good. @@LifestyleOverland
I had an AWD 2005 RX 330 which had an evap prob AND would code and turn on the VSC light taking away traction control. Come on Toyota. I have a 18 white 4 Runner (Casper). No problems at all.. Love it.
Great video, excellent production value as always! Just a thought, is there any way to install a valve between your two fuel tanks? That way you can isolate the aux tank and maybe prevent your evap problems?
Because traction control reduces engine power when activated, so if it sees CEL on it can’t control the engine and then itself faults. Honda does this as well
With the evap code, is it getting harder to fuel up? I replaced my evap but it ended up being a filter on the fuel neck. Hard start may be a head gasket too.
@Kevin...is that the Alpine ILX-509 head unit? (I know I watched a video a while back on this, but memory is lacking at the moment). Do you like the 509 or would you go up to the 511, if you were just starting to update the OEM head unit?
Kevin million dollar question. You have owned and driven plenty in both platforms 4Runner and gx460. In your opinion one will outlive the other? One is more reliable than the other?
So I had the Long Range America 33 gallon tank installed in December on my Taco & have the same issue. What app are you using to clear the check engine code?
I remember 1993 and getting my 1st 4WD Toyota. I took it all over California, Arizona and and Utah. Made many videos on 8MM. Should have kept them to be a TH-cam star!!! Lol. This ends soon. Better have a backup, dude.

Thanks for taking us along Kevin, what an awesome camp sight. I love that area of Nevada.
That was a great video. It always amazes me where you can take that camper.

Congratulations, guys! Welcome to the Xpedition family!
Apparently my laugh sounds just like Kieth’s. 😂😂. Contagious!
These trails look sweet. Great video!
Thanks for sharing your wrong turn. I have made a few the same way and also learned to chck my track after a change in the trail or direction.
I’ve camped in that exact same spot and stumbled upon it almost the same way, missed turn in the wash and everything 😂. The rocks there are so cool.
Haha, that's awesome! Incredible area too!
@@LifestyleOverlandwould you share the GPS location? Thx! Really enjoying your videos, I just subbed.

Wife and I r in the middle of planning our trip to Idaho via AZ, NM, UT. Planning to do Monument Valley and a few other places we have not been yet.
outstanding and awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Looks amazing camping 🏕

Getting a tune really helps a lot
Kev,
With the intermittent tank issues/evap codes, id bet you are having an evap issue causing the hard start concern. EVAP concerns can definitely cause a hard starting concern
I was also thinking a leaking fuel injector or two adding to that problem as well,
Kevin, a hard start can be caused by a fuel injector leaking while the engine is off. It floods the engine causing the hard start.
I've had some suspicions about the injectors on this. Probably time for some freshening up. Thanks for the input 👍
Check your fuel pressure; it could be the fuel pump.
I do believe there is way to test the injectors for leakage. If you need to replace them, I would use the OEM. After market infector tend to be not very good.

I use sport mode 4 for towing, sometimes 5 if flat roads. LandCruiser Prado 150, diesel 6 speed auto. Toyota manual actually says to tow in 4th
Great video, excellent production value as always! Just a thought, is there any way to install a valve between your two fuel tanks? That way you can isolate the aux tank and maybe prevent your evap problems?
What a great spot
you should check your fuel pressure for that extended crank and try a new purge valve for that cel. look me up i western colorado some time
Man, sleeping in that camper alone must be heaven! Enjoy it while it lasts! Haha
I like the music at time 24:00...nice video.
I just bought a 2018 4 runner last month.. so far good!
Because traction control reduces engine power when activated, so if it sees CEL on it can’t control the engine and then itself faults.
Honda does this as well
@16:51. Do you actually have access to hellfire missiles? Asking for my friend, Ahmed>
Also, when I go camping, should I bring an iron umbrella?
Are you gonna be at the Moore Expo in Missouri 2024?
Same with Subaru, even turns off cruise control for gas cap being loose
With the evap code, is it getting harder to fuel up? I replaced my evap but it ended up being a filter on the fuel neck. Hard start may be a head gasket too.
My guess is either fuel injection issue, or a Spark from the coil packs issue, not Burning the fuel on Initial Combustion
Digging your skillets. What brand/model are those?
Funny partner 😂
Crazy that you used a lot of the same music I use on my channel... Gotta love epidemic sound 🤟
@Kevin...is that the Alpine ILX-509 head unit? (I know I watched a video a while back on this, but memory is lacking at the moment). Do you like the 509 or would you go up to the 511, if you were just starting to update the OEM head unit?
EVAP code and hard start sounds like it could possibly be a fuel pump. Don't get stranded.
When are you making modifications to the trailer ?
Excellent, but better with the girls 🤩😎⭐️🤣👍
Kevin, that piece of steak right at the end looks like Africa! Greetings from South Africa
Kevin million dollar question. You have owned and driven plenty in both platforms 4Runner and gx460. In your opinion one will outlive the other? One is more reliable than the other?
So I had the Long Range America 33 gallon tank installed in December on my Taco & have the same issue. What app are you using to clear the check engine code?
Hmm, needs a coating or rubber on the forward facing bits of the trailer.
HI KEITH
I have COVID and no appetite, but when I saw that steak....was suddenly hungry....steak is COVID medicine
You have probably thought of this but why not put a valve between the 2 tanks so stop that code?
Love the use of the drone. This government is destroying an industry 👍👍
What was causing all the check engine lights?
How old is your fuel pump?
Having the extra space of the trailer looks nice, but having to wheel with a trailer looks
Miserable
Anyone have a GPS location this area?
PAIS : BRASIL 🇧🇷
Estado : Ceará
Cidade : Fortaleza
Hello ❤
Don’t need to see more coffee being brewed.
leaking injector?

Wtf are you even talking about hater? Just because it didn't work out for you doesn't mean you gotta hate on others. Now go on, shoo
Wondering how much of that laugh he has to edit out to keep people from skipping the rest of the video...
