The green looks so good 😍😍
Thanks Bern!
Indeed 🤌🤌🤌🤌
Now do it in Forest Service Green😉
Hopefully I won’t have to redo the wrap in the near future! Avery Dennison rugged vinyl has been taking a licking but keeps on kicking!
Thanks, You have answered most of my questions about vinyl wrap on the Passport. I love the Green color of yours. You did a great job!
Thanks 🙏. There’s a few more things I mentioned in the comment section.
As always killer content and a timely video. We just picked up an off lease GX with perfect paint and we are working on an overland build. I was tormenting on how to preserve the paint. I think I’ll take the dive with this more robust film. I hope I can be as Zen on the install as you were.
Thanks 🙏 Rob! I think ruggedized vinyl wrap will be a good option. Some things I didn’t mention in the video is that highly bended shapes like the front and rear bumpers can be a pain. Also, when you bend the film, a day later it’s likely to pull. Buy some 3M vinyl sealant to prevent pull. If areas do pull, just reheat the film, stretch, use edge sealant, and then cut off the excess. The beautiful thing about using vinyl film is that you can fix mistakes 👍
@@JonDZ_Adventuring Great pointers - thanks again! Love your channel and hope to run into you sometime out on the trail when we roll down from the Bay Area. I'm amazed at the capability of your rig - I had Hondas for decades and got pretty close to pulling the trigger on one for a family/overland build once I saw what you could do. But the the allure of a truck caught me so now I have a ultra reliable soccer mom Overlander that gets 16mpg : (
I wrapped my Tesla Model X by myself for $500. It looks great and when I get board, I'll change the color again.
I just came to watch some vinyl wrapvideo, not to be lectured on my crack use.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah the green color looks really really good!
These are some pretty good tips. Thanks Jon.
Really clear explanation. Very helpful thanks 🙏
Best video I have seen. It gave me the information and confidence I needed to Vinyl wrap may car.
Awesome to hear @Zero33! Do you have an Instagram ? Would be awesome to see!
Big thx. I was looking for this.
You’re welcome 😉
Nice and informative!
Thanks dirt complex!
Awesome! I was thinking about trying this :)
I always knew there was a downside to crack. Seriously though, thank you for this video. Very informative.
“Keeps the mosquitos 🦟 away, If they choose to suck my blood they die” I was dying 😂
I’m pretty sure I just saw you exiting the 405 at Beach earlier this evening. I was like man, I’m pretty sure there is only one passport out there that is that bad ass lol. It looked good man, had to head over to your channel to make sure it was you.
Yes! That was meeeee! I went to the REI at the Bella Terra 😃. Thanks for the kind words!
When are you going to do a video on your latest lift kit and maximum tire size that you can fit in there and the maximum ground clearance you now have?
I've gotta have the Grey on my 2021 Ridgeline!
Great info. I've found myself thinking about this as I'm looking at replacing my Forester and starting over with an unscratched rig. Even if the film got scratched, it would be nice to know I'm not demolishing the paint. Boy, I just don't know if I have the patience and dexterity to work with those sheets of film. I struggle just to put clean sheets on the bed. But I sure do like the idea of eventually being able to peel off the scratched vinyl and find the unmarred paint underneath. Hmm.
Donald, I’m so excited about your next rig choice! From you live chat yesterday, it seems like you’ll be going one of the following directions:
A.) SH Forester - you’re old system was tried and true, and you have no issue sleeping in the gazelle tent.
B.) Small/medium size truck - I think this option makes a lot of sense for a vehicle sleep system. It’s just that fuel economy and daily driveability will be an issue.
C.) Van - sounds like a good option, but the only vans with AWD/4WD are the bigger ones.
You have a big decision in front of you. I know cost will also play a factor. You know the reason why I purchased the Passport, dollar for dollar for a “NEW” vehicle and with “capability” and “reliability” in mind, it was the Best Buy and best AWD option. I have 62K miles on it now and not one issue. BUT... it’s a $38k vehicle, and the resale is insane right now. Even if you find a Passport Sport AWD with 30k miles it will still go for about $28K, which is only $5k off a brand new one. Another vehicle id recommend is the Rav4 adventure, but those go for $35k brand new, and why buy one of those when you can get a Passport. All other AWD vehicles that predate these vehicles aren’t so capable or as fuel efficient (passport is rated for 23mpg highway but after modifications, I’m still getting 23, stock people are getting 27-29mpg because of VCM).
My recommendation is to get a 2nd Gen Nissan Xterra for $4-7K. I know you don’t want a mid sized SUV but atleast it’ll be a more stout option to support a RTT. With all the money you save, you can pick up an iKamper RTT. Plenty of space! And the IKamper deploys in 30 seconds!
Donald! Whatever vehicle you choose I will offer my services to help you vinyl wrap your ride! It’ll be a good reason for me to come out there. I’m serious! Let’s DO THIS 😃!
@@JonDZ_Adventuring Dude, that would be a blast!
Do a dip your car kit
Nice job I work in this feel and good job
Yes sir u and Ed shin make wrapping it look so damn easy imma attempt this on my element
I told Edward about this wrap and told him it’s been up stripping. If it doesn’t work out for him, he can either go with xpel stealth protection or this Avery Dennison rugged wrap.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring
Ooh I didn’t know it didn’t work out well but it’s still on his truck from the videos and I will be going out with Edward shin and Donald and Jason soon to test out my Element
@@pnw_element9822 nice! I hung out with them around thanksgiving in 2019. Would like to camp with them again.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring
I saw that video if I was still living in California I be trying to hook up with you haha
Great video. I was looking at diy mine as well for overlanding but a transperant one. How did you DIY pre prep you car like the was prior to applicaiton. Is clay really necessary
Maybe I missed it but where did you buy your film and what’s the name of that gorgeous green color?
Your honda Pilot looks awesome..!
Honda Pilot? Isn’t its Honda Passport? Lol
@@ranjit3o🤔 you know what?
your right.. sweet Passport ..🤙
I like the color
I do too! ☺️
You forgot to mention suburbans haha lol just kidding. I will be doing a body wrap in the near future. Great video jon.
Thanks DJ! and good luck with your wrap! What color are you going with?
If I go the way I want to it will be military digital green but I need to change my wheel color first. It close to your green.
Hmmmm, time to wrap my Outback in Bedrock Grey Avery Dennison?🤔🤔
Why is the music so loud
What was name of vinyl wrap you used 2nd time that's rugged, what size did you order and how much extra did you have leftover? Solid video, great tips!
The textured green vinyl wrap is Avery Dennison Rugged Vinyl wrap in Marsh green
I ordered 41 feet and yes I have some left over.
Looks fantastic in the textured rugged wrap. I can’t seem to locate the rugged line for Avery Dennison wraps...you wouldn’t happen to the part number or have a link would you?
Always enjoying your content, thanks for investing the time to do these vids.
Disregard, I believe I found it...
Avery SW900-732-0 Matt Olive Green Supreme Vinyl
@@LeeSlikkers no, that’s not it! Haha, let me get your a part number! Haha

The wrap I have is “Marsh Green”. In the sunlight it looks like olive drab, but in the dark it looks like a darker green. There’s 4 colors: Obsidian black, Cement Grey, Marsh green (what I have) and Combat green. On their website, you’d think I’d have the combat green, but I’m really running Marsh. These films look different in person. I’d recommend ordering samples. By the way, I ordered off of metrorestyling. They seem to have the best pricing.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring awesome, thanks for having my back. I have a couple ideas, a little vinyl and some knife tape and I'll be off to the races 🤣
I believe this is it: Combat Green SW 900-718-X ? www.metrorestyling.com/Avery-Rugged-Combat-Green-p/sw900-718-x.htm
Builder's paper is a great idea! Didn't think of that. I plan to do vinyl wrap on the 4runner soon. The challenge of the 4Runner is that the body side panels runs from the windshield all the way to the rear. I don't want to get more than I need to so I have to make precise cutting on the vinyl for the body panel and doors in order to conserve.
Good luck Francis! Do you have the current gen 4runner! The front grille wills be quite the challenge. You will have to cut sections for the grille, and I highly recommend avery’s rugged vinyl wrap because overlapping isn’t as noticeable compared to traditional wrap. Also, pick up some 3M vinyl edge sealant. When you wrap things that require stretching, it will tend to pull and lift. The sealant will lock it in.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring good call on the sealant. first time i heard about it. good thing there are two videos on youtube in which i can reference when it comes to vinyl wrapping the 4runner.
Why did you post this?…. Now I have to find a wrap color lol
Where did you buy from?
@@landrykilpatrick949 I bought both types of films from Metro Restyling
This is probably crazy to consider, but what would it take to just spray paint the car? Maybe raptor or some kind of rhino liner coat… maybe just bedliner… I’m thinking the fix for scratches after would be simple… rattle can..
It’s been done before, but it’s ugly, and looks dingy after a while. You also have to do a lot of prep work. Touch ups are easy with rugged vinyl, which looks like Raptor liner. All you do is cut out a shape and then insert another piece. Regular smooth vinyl isn’t touch-up-able.
To make Raptor liner look good, you’ll need to periodically spray clear coat. Otherwise it looks really bad. We’ve all seen Raptor liner vehicles before. I see less and less of them, probably for a reason.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring ok. Touch ups blows my mind a bit. That sounds amazing! Between that, and seeing you finally give up the paint pole awning for a 180 has me considering starting to save some money.
@@ChuckUnderFire Oh my! I remember the paint pole awning! Hahaha! I was able to buy the 180 degree awning on sale for $500. I believe they are a bit pricier now a days. This awning has been an integral part of my adventures. I attached an awning wall (... that I bought for $300), and when combined with a 50,000 BTU propane fire pit, it lets me continue my adventures during cold winter temperatures. I never hesitate to deploy it, because it's so easy set up. It's one of my favorite pieces of gear.
Thank you, I hate mosquitoes.
I REALLY don't want to remove 4 door handles.
Welp, I think someone will vinyl wrap your ride for $2300 to $5000 depending on where you live. California will charge top dollar. Or… you can just do it dirty.
Link to the vinyl? Thanks!
Here's a link from one of Avery Dennison's distributors: metrorestyling.com/products/avery-rugged-marsh-green-vinyl-wrap-sw900-738-x?_pos=2&_sid=cc1a7186e&_ss=r
EDIT: The link above is for his CURRENT green vinyl, not this black one
did you do the whole car or just the sides
I did everything except the top of the roof.
Donde puedo comprar ese vinilo??

How much wrap did you buy? I have a Passport and I would like to wrap mine as well!
Dude $300? I gotta see this
Great job wrapping it yourself! So quarter panels and roof are the same process?
Is that a 3M trash bag?
I don't recommend doing the job outside in the sun.. working against the elements is not a good thing. I recommend in a garage with a very clean floor, use a heatgun/torch when needed.
Must agree with not doing crack cocaine though 🤣
🤣 just say no to drugs
Get a real overlander.
