Really helpful video I own a 2018 Sprinter (Roadtrek Agile). I live in Chicagolandand have driven a lot in Colorado. The pedal lag is a PITA especially at higher altitude. You convinced me to try the pedal upgrade. May also add the controller later. I’m also interested in the Owl Van storage box. I know exactly what you mean about storage needs.
In between jobs I borrowed my moms 07 Sequoia and did a road trip for a month living in it. I'm 5'10 and with the seats out I could lay fully out with an air mattress. I also just got a plastic drawer system and tied it down and was totally comfortable in it for a month. Car is also very capable and was able to go basically anywhere I wanted in it.
I'm stoked about the sequoia! I had an 03 and it was an awesome vehicle. I hope you're going full budget build mode. Then sell it at a nice profit of course!
Super excited for you and Ashley ! . You guys seem perfect for each other . Looks like life is treating you well . Looking back 5yrs ago at the "2017 EDC backpack" video after you went the through the split with your ex . Glad to see you are in a much better place in everyway .👍
I caught your video just after you had it retro fitted from all the upgrades from Owl products I believe (bumpers, winch, rear box and rack, tracks, roor rack etc). On that video you also explained your We-Boost. I am just jumping on to see this latest, so I just started. My point- I really like what you did with Rap (Topographical look - sharp, really cool look!) and all the genious upgrades and organizational ideas. Soots the unit very nicely. I would love to pick your brain some time not related to RV Van-Live but your Ham Radio knowledge. but that is for another time. Keep up the great work and information! Something tells me you may have served in the armed forces. If so- appreciate your service! Carry on!
Almost like that quat needs a support on the lest side, to let you center the carrier more. It's badass kit, just a little tweaking and it's golden. They picked the perfect person to help them test tho, lol. Oh, and on the wedding... Yikes. I went through the same thing not long ago, including the honeymoon. Between planning, and writing checks, it's one of the most stressful periods of my adult life. That's why you need an epic honeymoon. Bust your ass for six months planning to enjoy seven days in a tropical paradise with your gorgeous new bride. Yeah, it's stressful as hell. But God knows how worth it, it all is. Congrats Mike n Ashley. Super happy for y'all!!
Love that you are dabbling on the 1st gen sequoia platform! It’s been a underdog in the Toyota communit till recently! Looking forward to what’s in store for it!
I’m Definitely looking forward to the sequoia. I’m looking for my next build project and had never considered that option. Curious to see what kind of support there is for off-road improvements. 🍻
Congratulations 🍾 buddy I just shared your TH-cam channel with a buddy of mine that I’ve known forever sorry took me so long to catch up on a lot of your videos ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Thanks for the Terrain content, it has been super helpful! I took my terrain up a pretty mild trail for the first time and it was crazy how long I had to sit still with the pedal floored before it would climb up a small incline. Not sure if that's normal, but if so and that was your experience too, did the DTE pedal control help? Thanks!
Some stuff you ought to check out, especially as you build your house would be Nicks Boots Builder Pro and 1620 workwear pants. Awesome videos, awesome life! Congrats on the upcoming wedding.
That small diesel engine lag is no joke. A buddies girlfriend had a diesel liberty in high school and it felt like you were waiting for minutes before the thing actually started moving after stepping on the throttle. It was ridiculous. And yet somehow I was the only one that had an issue with it and even noticed it. Go figure. 🤷♂️
It maybe too simple of a fix for the limiting of the door swing but just thinking off the top of the dome. You could attach a strap at eye level inside the van wall to door to remind whomever is opening the door not to push beyond the strap being tight. A visual and a physical reminder that the door is open to its limits.
Thoughts on the 1up rack with the Emtb? I had that set up bedside on the truck but the weight of most E’s exceed what 1up approves use for. See ya on the trails one day.
Just curious what the van weighs with the bumpers/winch/racks/etc. What is the GCVW for that thing? Just curious how much it could tow once it is fixed up to go camping. Great videos!
A huge part of the weight of that ebike is the battery. I always remove it before I rack it up. Carry it inside my jeep. Less weight to lift and less weight on the mount.
Hi Mike ... can you please tell me what CB antenna (and the mount) you have on the van? i'm having one installed and it's been really hard to find anyone who has this stuff in stock.
You need to clamp the propane tank below the seam. The seam also works like a cushion preventing the tank from simply slipping through. Just a suggestion
The only thing I don't like is the outdoor speakers mounted into the side of the van.......more holes for possible leaks down the road. Would have been better with a bluetooth speaker that could be brought outside. I know that's a Jayco mod but I'm not a fan of the outdoor speakers built-into the van.
I've caught a few videos here and there from when you had the Tacoma and once I actually visited your channel it is just one build after another showing off whatever stuff you got for free and bolted on over the past month before trading it in for something else. I'm sure it's fun for you and I'm certain you make money doing this and no doubt it is work filming and editing videos but this big advertisement shit ain't for me.
Bro you can do anything with sponsorship. Not hating, just being real. That sprinter is $200,000+. To go camping.What happened to enjoying the outdoors? Instead you're bringing your house with you.
So you’re telling me if you built up a platform and a company offered you a sweet van like this if you do some content w it you wouldn’t do it bc your outside a few mins less… maybe think of all the positives and extra possibilities that come with it. I certainly can’t justify getting one of these myself but I enjoy learning about them.
Not everybody has the same priorities, and not everyone is willing to jump into the outdoors full-stop. If it starts someone down the path of further naturalist adventures then who cares if it's overdone?

Happy Easter and happy wedding!!
Happy Easter to you too!
Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! You take care of you during this special time with your family! Excited for the content to come after!

Love the van content but im actuslly stoked to see a Sequoia and the upcoming plans for it. Makes me miss my Phantom Grey 06.
Not stoked that the Lexus is gone but I love the idea of showing a cheaper option that’s a great idea.
Van build looks awesome. Congratulations on the wedding. Happy Easter to you and your family.
saw you on mike glover's chanel......now I'm watching your Chanel.........Awesome!

Never liked the look of the sequoia. But I’m sure you will change my mind about it with your mods 😁 the new sequoia though is 🔥
Happy good Friday
You too!
Looking forward to the weekend over lander 👊
Some stuff you ought to check out, especially as you build your house would be Nicks Boots Builder Pro and 1620 workwear pants. Awesome videos, awesome life! Congrats on the upcoming wedding.
Congrats on the Wedding that's great. Van is looking sweet.
Not too much aftermarket support for my first gen Tundra (similar to Sequoia) looking forward to what you do!
Happy Friday bro!!
Enjoy it!

Thanks for sharing your mods 👍 Are you going to install the new GLSS made for the Jayco Terrain?
Stoked to see the Sequoia. Love the first gen Sequoia and Tundras.
It maybe too simple of a fix for the limiting of the door swing but just thinking off the top of the dome. You could attach a strap at eye level inside the van wall to door to remind whomever is opening the door not to push beyond the strap being tight.

Seqouia is a awesome choice, First Gen Tundra 4x4 owner myself
Congratulations on wedding. Do not like ladder on side. Pretty cool besides that.👍🏼😎
That van must really roost in the dunes now, damn! And the smoke most pickups off the line;)
Excited for the tree build I love mine.
Very Awesome! Can’t wait to see more on the SUV !
Thoughts on the 1up rack with the Emtb? I had that set up bedside on the truck but the weight of most E’s exceed what 1up approves use for. See ya on the trails one day.
Congrats on the wedding🎉🎉🎉 woohoo 🙌
I don't understand how you have like 9 nice vehicles but congrats
That van screams I have cool stuff, break into me 😂
Just curious what the van weighs with the bumpers/winch/racks/etc. What is the GCVW for that thing? Just curious how much it could tow once it is fixed up to go camping. Great videos!
A huge part of the weight of that ebike is the battery. I always remove it before I rack it up. Carry it inside my jeep. Less weight to lift and less weight on the mount.
And it's a lot easier to charge the battery while you're driving.
Definitely build up and do another charity giveaway with the sequoia.
Tis a noble idea; Method for content creation, showcasing gear for sponsors, then a charity giveaway for a good cause. Rinse and repeat.
@@MudSlingar and presumably a tax write off for Mike if he personally bought the Sequoia.
Gues who has a Toyota Sequoia and is in love with this!!
Excited about the sequoia!
I'm very excited to see the Sequoia build-out.
Hell yeah love the Sequoia!
loved my first gen sequoia
Any thoughts on this 4x4 model compared to the new AWD? comparison?
You let me ride your Fezarri, so if you wanna ride a fat bike lemme know! Van looks great!
Hi Mike ... can you please tell me what CB antenna (and the mount) you have on the van? i'm having one installed and it's been really hard to find anyone who has this stuff in stock.
You need to clamp the propane tank below the seam. The seam also works like a cushion preventing the tank from simply slipping through. Just a suggestion
This mount has a bottom, so the only direction the tank can slip is up. Not sure if that would change where you'd decide to put the clamp
@@LastLineOfDefense ahh cool. Of it has a bottom then no worries! Looks awesome!
Congratulations!
Awesome rig…you are going to need a bigger driveway for all your rides 😎
Did you ever do a vid on a good way to carry kayaks? Also congrats on getting married!
Updates on the Power Control X ?
11:29 where did you get the propane tank mount?
The only thing I don't like is the outdoor speakers mounted into the side of the van.......more holes for possible leaks down the road.
Would have been better with a bluetooth speaker that could be brought outside.
I know that's a Jayco mod but I'm not a fan of the outdoor speakers built-into the van.
What bike are you thinking about getting?
What Apple Watch band are you wearing in this video?
Hey congrats on getting married!
I look forward to reviews of vehicles that you own and paid for.
Sick, all my vehicles!
Use to drive one for work, it always overheated
Title should be "how I spend Daddy's money"
lol, check the end of the previous video, my jealous Bud Bud
love your van. all the youtube video. 안녕하세요. 결혼 축하해요!
you just called us poor
…sounds similar to a Pedal Commander I installed on my ‘17 Tacoma, works great. #PedalCommander
SEQUOIA!!!!
I think you said you were going to get married
Don't do it run
I've caught a few videos here and there from when you had the Tacoma and once I actually visited your channel it is just one build after another showing off whatever stuff you got for free and bolted on over the past month before trading it in for something else. I'm sure it's fun for you and I'm certain you make money doing this and no doubt it is work filming and editing videos but this big advertisement shit ain't for me.
Lol
You auto focus on your videos is very distracting. Every time you stick your hand in front it tries to adjust.
Bro you can do anything with sponsorship. Not hating, just being real. That sprinter is $200,000+. To go camping.What happened to enjoying the outdoors? Instead you're bringing your house with you.
Oh trust me, I enjoy the outdoors, bud. 😉
So you’re telling me if you built up a platform and a company offered you a sweet van like this if you do some content w it you wouldn’t do it bc your outside a few mins less… maybe think of all the positives and extra possibilities that come with it.
