      It’s a possibility. Just an expensive vehicle, if I was doing it again I would have gone with a much older one. I’m trying to keep the next build at a maximum of 20k stock.

    Sooo, I may be the rare individual that has kind of done what you're thinking about doing, and what you just did. I had a 2015 Tundra that I built out, albeit much more mildly than yours and less expensive. I went on a purge to get out of some debts that I had lingering and sold it and went to a GX470. I pretty much broke even on the Tundra. Didn't do much to to the GX470 other than a mild suspension swap and air bag delete. Then hurricane Ida hit and I was kind of needing a truck as I was making repairs around the house, had to rebuild a fence. I sold the GX for a profit after keeping it about a year and bought a 2008 Tundra double cab 4x4. I kept it for a year and then sold it to buy kind of my dream vehicle, a 2016 4Runner TRD PRO. Very well kept. HOWEVER, I was missing a truck for truck things after about another year. I bought a 2010 Tundra double cab exactly like my 2008 except this one has only 64,000 and was very well kept. I changed suspension to Eibach, new tires, wheels, headlights and powder coated the bumpers. Truck look great. Your build had actually kind of inspired me to make it how I wanted it. My plan was to sell the 4Runner. Financially this makes sense. But...I'm really kind of leaning towards keeping both and keeping them for a long, long time. Both of these platforms are tried and true. Both fill certain niches and I'm a big believer in the "two is one and one is none" motto. So my advice to you would be keep the Tundra. When it's paid off if you still want to have something to toy with find a GX or older V8 4Runner and you won't have to spend a fortune on the vehicle itself. Yes you have a good bit of money tied up in it, however it's still less than buying a new one that would be nowhere near as capable or reliable. Sorry, I know I'm long winded.

    • @OXFOOT
      @OXFOOT  หลายเดือนก่อน

      True, I totally get that. However I’m just not a “payments” guy and a big part of this wanting to sell it is because;
      1. I do have payments on it. I took out a $15k loan on it when I had the cash to buy it outright but I don’t know what was thinking.
      2. This one in particular was very expensive when a 2006 tundra would accomplish the same thing. I don’t want to get rid of a truck but this one in particular is just a ton of money and it’s still depreciating decently. So basically I’m paying someone to own a depreciating assent.
      3. I could have a truck and a daily driver for the cost of this truck. This thing spends 90% of its time driving back and forth between my house and our air bnb so those city miles it gets like 10mpg
      That being said I love the truck as a truck. I have learned that I really am an SUV guy but having a truck is so amazing. I throw so much stuff in the bed and it just makes life easy. It’s a tough call. Ideally an old tundra and an old GX would be nice, especially when my parents told me they’d sell me their old forester for a daily for 7k.

    • @Smitty_76
      @Smitty_76 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@OXFOOT yeah, I completely get the suv daily driver part. Actually, with a little more of your explanation, I'd probably sell it and look for a truck similar to what I have. I'm sure you know this but, the 2nd gen Tundra is basically the same truck from the 2008-2021. If you can find one that was well cared for you can get a good deal on an older model year if you keep your eyes open. I got lucky with my 2010, one owner and 64,000 miles. With tax, license and title I was right at $20K. The first gen Tundras are getting hard to find that aren't needing a lot of work and honestly the truck's fit and finish ain't even close to the 2nd gen if you ask me, and I owned both. If you do find a first gen that was taken care of they still do most everything you need a truck to do.

    • @OXFOOT
      @OXFOOT  หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Smitty_76 I paid 40k (with taxes and dealer fees) for mine with the same miles lol. This color was super hard to find and I probably paid an extra $5k for that. a 2010 GX and a 2010 Tundra would probably cost about what my truck cost if I sold it lol. Only thing is, I'd take a disastrous loss on the mods but hopefully if people keep watching I can earn enough to mod the next one.

      Yeah I’m kinda shocked they don’t have any listed on their website. They have it for mine.

I have seen a massive drop in views since I got the truck but maybe I just got into the tundra scene too early.

      I agree, the big part for me is that I took a loan out on it and it’s just fundamentally against my DNA to do it. An older tundra and a GX would accomplish the same thing and they are at the bottom of the depreciation curve. I’m still 50/50 though.

      The tent I have is 134 or 135 and the rack I put on top of the topper is probably about 40 lbs. it’s been fine for me but I got the extra filling for the topper so it is more rigid.

    I'm biased to the GX (I own one). I think you'll have to consider what you can get for your tundra. If you have to take a significant loss just to buy something else, it's probably not wise to do so. It will only enlarge the money pit. Also, what would the GX or another platform give you that the tundra doesn't?

    • @OXFOOT
      @OXFOOT  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah but no payments. I could get probably $40k for the truck I think. That’s my plan to list it if I do. Might be a loss but the GX build would be a very mild one. Daily + GX would be cheaper than the tundra for sure. But I do love the truck!

      Honestly, I kinda stopped filming camping and offroading videos for the time being because no one was watching them. If you want the honest answer, last one I made was 20 hrs of work (not including filming time) and I made $22 total. That’s a little over $1 an hour for the work. I also find that I don’t enjoy the time out there as much either because I’m focused on filming. So for right now I’m just focused on enjoying my life in the mtns and occasionally filming videos of walk arounds and gear I use. I will still do some camping videos but tbh it takes up so much time and TH-cam pays next to nothing. If I had a Patreon with a big following I’d be in 100% but I can’t survive off TH-cam pay with that much work going into the videos and that little pay.
