The shakedown was not without its challenges, but making it to the shop in Denver was kinda like wheeling into the emergency room at the hospital. Whatever your ails, they can fix them. I would like to say you guys should feel damn proud to have built a rig to get you there with no more problems than you did have.
Proud Mama moment - so glad you made it to Denver and I get to hear about "drifting into oncoming traffic" after the fact! Sending love as always to you both and safe travels 🌎

The border crossing at the Peace Arch in Vancouver can be stressful, I would recommend going via the Coho through Victoria next time as customs are done before you get on the boat.
This is RAD, a 70’s Toyota Chinook on a frigging Land Cruiser chassis how friggin awesome is that I love love love this thing, my dad had a 76’ and although it was one of the ugliest trucks ever made (2 wheel drive) it was his fishin rig, he loved it, I hated it but yours has me feeling nostalgic.. I miss him but I’m gonna keep watching you and think about him
Y'all just needed to SLOW DOWN. I've driven that part of the country in the snow many times and the trick is slow, steady, progress. Beautiful video guys!
Wow I drove 395 around the same day possibly? I didn't see you guys on the way to Umatilla I would have helped out! Good luck on the rest of the trip! We are just getting caught up on your lasted video's. Sry the border crossing and WA state has not been fun so far! Hope Oregon and new states bring hope and more fun to your trip. TY this whole, channel, build and etc has brought us much joy and entertainment! Tierra del Fuego!!!! :)
Thank you so much for being here with us!! We're hoping we have fixed the darting all over the road problem with an upgraded pan hard bar. We will be figuring out the caster pretty quick here before we leave the states.
Rough start to the trip but, no true adventure goes off without a little adversity. I've got one word of advice, reach out on social media when in need. I'm not sure what your following looks like in other parts of the world but, I'm sure if you had asked for help while in WA, people would have come out of the woodworks to lend a hand with tools, parts or even a shop to work on the rig. Reach out in real time, people are more than willing to help and be a part of your adventure.
i had a '77 back in high school in the late 80s. My dad bought it at a yard sale in Wrightwood, Ca. No idea how he got it down the mtn to Berdo. I was 15 and i gutted the rotted interior and put in wood wall paneling & bean bags. This is an exceptional rig. Well done.
I would never leave my driveway without testing 4wd for a journey where I know I will have to use 4wd. But happy to see you guys safe and happy and welcome to USA.
We’ve been glued to your channel for a while now and hope nothing but the best. Hell if we didn’t have kids we be begging to join this adventure. Hello and happy trails from a fellow islander
You two are animals!!! This thing your doing is an absolute dream...crazy and amazing...the rig is coming along great....hope you haven't lost your spirits...and your making or made it ok..
Cold and propane are not a great combination. If you can, keep your regulator in a warm area. If you don't they may freeze. Good Luck! Can't wait to see your journey unfold.
Been looking forward to the trip as much as I've enjoyed the build. So awesome to see all the hard work starting to payoff. So cool to see people that still have the intestinal fortitude to pursue such an epic dream! Thanks for taking us along!
cabbage hill is one of my favorite sections of i84 in eastern OR, and I have many. sorry for your troubles. we just got back from a 4 day trip at 5*F where our water pump froze and heater cut out. but we got it all working again for day 2. keep charging!
It was cool to watch you take the same route I took on my trip from the Island to New Mexico, and recognizing some of the landmarks, and picking up some new stops.
I know that black toyota camper! It’s parked at the Richland Walmart parking lot all the time. I live five minutes from there. Wish I would have known, I would have stopped and said hi.
Lol this is so funny to me cause I just did a Similar trip from Seattle back home to Denver and the only time I sat in awful traffic too was coming back into Denver lol good luck out there guys!
Eastwood sells some amazing welders you can use on a generators power. They’re very small& Flux-core requires no gas can. Could use that to extend the steering column an inch.
This might have already been mentioned in the comments, but I would recommend siping those tires. I have the same exact tires and it is insane the increase in traction I have when going over snowy passes. I’ve gone over a pass in a snow storm in 2wd with little slippage with the siping! Sweet rig!
Glad you guys are safe! Hopefully you can resolve any issues you found during this trip. I could see that you were struggling keeping it straight when you were driving definitely white knuckling it. Looking forward to the next video!
It’s so nice to see a couple who is as real as you guys doing such a build and then also taking it pretty much around the world and then, even though you have bumps along the way, you haven’t lost your way! I would definitely support you by grabbing some stickers and if you have any apparel or hats and beanies, definitely support you that way as well. Glad you guys made it safe to Denver. Was hoping they might’ve been able to see you as you pass through Oregon but I think you pass through off I 84 probably 60 or 70 miles away from where I’m at. Yes Pendleton is an amazing place.🤙.
I'm sure it would be easy to want to be a perfectionist on the rig and spend lots of time around VI getting it dialed in. Hats off to you guys for sending it!
I’m in SLC and can assist you guys with anything you need. Just reach out! Love the channel I’ve been following you for almost 2 years!
Dude, thank you so much! Email or IG is best. Wish there was a message feature here in TH-cam!
Two Brave Souls!
Merry Christmas
I love how real you guys are. Most of the time all you see is the good stuff. Nobody reveals their struggle. Keep keeping it really guys.
We can promise to keep it real the entire journey!!
The shakedown was not without its challenges, but making it to the shop in Denver was kinda like wheeling into the emergency room at the hospital. Whatever your ails, they can fix them. I would like to say you guys should feel damn proud to have built a rig to get you there with no more problems than you did have.
Thank you once again for your words Phil! Denver was definitely the refresh we needed, as well as the Chinook. we are always leveling up!
“Thankfully, nothing cures a belly full of fear like a big pint of beer”. Nice one! Hope its fine if I steal that one. 😂
We don't mind at all!
Welcome to America! You guys are always welcome here on Long Island NY , got room for ya and plenty of Weed
Passed you guys in Utah super cool to see you out on the road!
Keep the dream alive safe travels 🙏
April showers by big girl in case anyone is wondering about the song. Great video Toyota world runners.

cabbage hill is no joke in snowy months I’ve been there a few times with my big rig. Stay safe out there!
This channel is unmatched
Thank you!!
I thought I saw you guys in Pendleton! Glad you got out. Been stuck here since the snow storm of '08.
on of your best videos
Epic shakedown run. Really not many issues considering the scale and timeframe of your build! This series is top of my list on youtube!
Thanks so much for watching Paul! We were pleasantly surprised with the minimal amount of roadside mechanics..lol
It's your attitude that keeps you going and keeps us watching.
We appreciate your words!
Youbou BC in the house!
Going back and watching your first videos. I started as you entered Baja. Great series.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 so rad!
Great story, camera work and music. Gonna be following you and your footsteps in the not too distant future in my '16 4r.
Thank you for being here!
I'm hooked on this series... I subd for the build, stayed for the adventure!
keep travelling free and untamed beautiful young couple!! I'm 47 and living my dreams vicariously through you!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Seen these little Toyota RVs on the road is so cool, seeing them lifted a solid axle and a bigger engine is pretty sweet
Sooper bro
These are getting better and better!
It's awesome to see people achieve their goals, you guys are inspirational. Keep pushing you two, fan from Alberta!
Thank you so much! it feels so rewarding driving the machine we built!
Me gusta el trabajó de modificación que le hiciste a tu chinook ,buen viaje
Wow I love your channel. Everytime a good ride. Best wishes from Germany
Thanks for watching !
Now that's a sweet awning. I have been looking for a new one . I will check them out. THNX
Scipio! Wow! Beautiful build! Subscribed!
The border crossing at the Peace Arch in Vancouver can be stressful, I would recommend going via the Coho through Victoria next time as customs are done before you get on the boat.
I literally just found your channel and my wife is already mad. My first statement was: NOW I NEED TO BUY THAT CHINOOK I FOUND!!
Hahaha, it's a healthy addiction we believe lol.

That makes us very happy!
I never thought you two would drive through my hood (Grand Junction, CO). Right where you said you feel like you're on Mars lol
Thinking about moving to Grand Junction
@@josephhertzberg2734 Make sure you have a job lined up! It's a great place to live but I've had to do contract work outside of GJ to stay ahead
I love it.
I from Humatilla tanks for the video guys ❤
I had a 78 long bed Toyota pickup with a camper shell on the bed. Wish I'd had never sold it. I love my Toyotas.
Nothing you two can't handle, loving this series and trip. Enjoy every minute of it.
Thanks Derek!
Super road trip, good luck.
Y'all just needed to SLOW DOWN. I've driven that part of the country in the snow many times and the trick is slow, steady, progress. Beautiful video guys!
We're slowly learning to slow down 🤣 Thanks for watching!
I just passed you on the freeway just after Denver. 😎😎☝️👋👋👋👋👋
Love your rig it's bad ass for sure.
Love your music in video
Wow I drove 395 around the same day possibly? I didn't see you guys on the way to Umatilla I would have helped out! Good luck on the rest of the trip!

Maybe I missed it but I thought you had around 4.5 to 5 degrees of caster? So Did I imagine that at some point?
Thank you so much for being here with us!! We're hoping we have fixed the darting all over the road problem with an upgraded pan hard bar. We will be figuring out the caster pretty quick here before we leave the states.
so glad you guys go experience the I 70 traffic headed into denver! It's a certified colorado classic!
And we thought we just had bad luck! glad its a theme

Bean bags sounds like the vibe we need!

Rushed out the door was an understatement...

Awesome truck. Good luck on your travels
Awesome rig!!
I know that black toyota camper! It’s parked at the Richland Walmart parking lot all the time. I live five minutes from there. Wish I would have known, I would have stopped and said hi.
Wow I'll be waiting for you in Argentina, guys! Awesome channel!
Wish you the best journey!!!
Lol this is so funny to me cause I just did a Similar trip from Seattle back home to Denver and the only time I sat in awful traffic too was coming back into Denver lol good luck out there guys!
Most thrilling episode maybe ever? Great job sharing the narrating duties. America sure is a beautiful and diverse country.
It was loads of fun to make! Gave us a taste of what life on the road is like to film! Thanks for watching Stephen!
Way to stay positive!! Wish I knew you were in my backyard, would love to see this rig in person!
That truck may be a Toyota Chinook, but I feel its name is now "Hiccup" ! 18:18
lol ! we hope not
I’ve been watching you guys for awhile. Great energy, awesome content! I’ve been waiting for a Patreon acct.😎 have a blast! SAFE TRAVELS!
Thanks for being her from the beginning!

Absolutely! We're hoping for a tire upgrade before heading South.
Glad you had a great experience in Oregon.
Glad you guys are safe! Hopefully you can resolve any issues you found during this trip. I could see that you were struggling keeping it straight when you were driving definitely white knuckling it. Looking forward to the next video!
Matthew's hands never left 10 and 2 ....
congratulations guys God bless take care and protect you on this trip a hug and take care caution always
I cant wait to see what's next, rooting for you two from Duncan!
Thank you!!
Best of luck you two,,! You two are awesome,! ❤️🏄♂️🚁💪

Thank you so much for being here with us! We will be setting up our online store in the New year!
Persistence pays off! Pretty wild shakedown distance wise. Chinook is looking mint🤙🏻
Definitely no small task, but we aren't known to take the easy route lol
I'm sure it would be easy to want to be a perfectionist on the rig and spend lots of time around VI getting it dialed in. Hats off to you guys for sending it!
We knew if we didn't leave when we did, we wouldn't have left until spring. The send was in full force!
