Hey bro I wouldn’t recommend driving alone, my cousin an experienced driver , had the ground loosened under him and rolled over a couple times and fell unconscious , luckily minutes later another vehicle passed by and got help , he only had a concussion and broken wrist but it could of ended a lot worse if it wasn’t for that family that saw him down there
Yeah, there's certainly some risk involved, just like many things in life. I travelled alone all summer in very remote areas that would have been much more dangerous than this trail... Maybe not the best idea, but certainly worth the reward
This looks fun but man I’m amazed by how well the 4Runner goes down on those steep hills! Just bought a 4x4 3rd Gen 4Runner this year and can’t wait to modify it. I’ll start with some simple off-roading and maybe once I get better at it I’ll try and tackle this path someday, great video👏🏽🌲
These suckers are super capable. No need for fancy bumpers and stuff. They definitely serve their purpose, but I was doing the same trails with a small lift and tires
I've wanted to do Black Bear for months. I'm an avid outdoor filmmaker, and I feel like it would be a sick place to shoot. I gotta fix some stuff on my 3rd gen first before I try and tackle it.
Black bear is on my bucket list... Great footage as well! Your 4R is sprung perfectly for your weight, what are you running for suspension and springs?
What an amazing trail to spotlight. This trail has been on my bucket list for a couple of years now. Hopefully I’ll be able to make a trip out to Colorado this summer. Keep up the great work bro, and stay safe out there.
Very cool got a 2000 4runner iam working on they so good jacked up now your video has changed my thinking any help with lift and wheel and tire size would be awesome thanks again Washingtonian
Came across this morning while sipping my coffee. Throughout the video I found myself slipping forward on my couch living your experience. That trail is on my bucket list but I am not sure when I will be able to make it because it is a long way from Yellowknife. Thanks for sharing and wishing you many more safe adventures.
"Black Bear park is not an amusement park...." 1:24 am staying my a s s in Georgia then. Goodness that some scary stuff bro. Am sure you got loads of stories
Great video! Was in CO the last week of Aug '21, so just a week after you shot this. I have a 2000 4Runner and did Imogene and Engineer before the torential rains set in. The 4Runner climed over everything in it's path without any issues...225K miles on the odo. Had to cut the trip short, but plan on coming back for more. You've got pretty big cohones to do Black Bear alone! I don't have enough off road experience to tackle that one, but it is thrilling to watch the videos. You fly that drone like a Jedi Knight!
@@PartimeOverland That sounds like a great time. Seems like July August September is the best time for that area due to the snow pack needing to melt so the trails can open....also the most crowded, though. I don't know if you young guys would want an old fart like me hanging around.
Great video, could I recommend that you render and upload your videos in 4k? Even if its still really 1080p, youtube gives it a much higher bitrate, which makes the shots with a lot of movement far less grainy. example 2:40
You’re talking Black Bear in a stock Tacoma? It’s totally possible. It would be easier with a lift, tires, but if you pick good lines and have a spotter, I’ve seen people drive it with worse vehicles😂
Man I scooped my 2000 4Runner up all stock for $2500 cash and it was the best ride I’ve ever had I’ve since then put a 5 inch lift kit and 33 inch Mickey Thompson tires on it and i absolutely love it and plan on keeping it forever 280k miles and no lights on the dash truly the best truck ever made !!!
Great video and I'm going to borrow the phrase "professional butt clenching." Question: did you use anything other than 4LO and your brake pedal to navigate the stair steps? (Does the 3rd Gen have crawl or anything like that?) Well done. Stay safe.
hello thanks for the video, question about this 4RUNNER, do you think lacks of torque when going uphills? is the land cruiser 100 something you will consider to change because 4runner V6 engine vs V8? what is your opinion?
No not at all I have the same truck on a 5 inch lift which is way bigger then this guy's and I'm on 33 inch tires I still get 22 mpg with my gearing being 4.10 it's got low end torque and mid end no problem at all merging at 75 mph
Awesome video great content and I have a question could you send a link or something to your bumpers and rock sliders I'm interested I like the way your 4 runner looks and I have a 97
Thanks man! My front bumper is from Addicted Off-road. Both my sliders and rear bumper are from 4xInnovations. Both companies should have their stuff listed on their websites
My regret is not buying a 4Runner when they we’re priced ok and cheaper, now even the older generations are expensive. I just decided to wait for the redesign 4Runner to buy my first truck and this will last me a lifetime if it’s built right and being taken care of.
I scooped mine up for 2500 cash and I put a 5 inch lift and 33 inch tires on it and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made 2 years I’ve owned it in July !!!
Standard American car? I've never done Black Bear pass but from what I've seen it's easy if you pay attention. Are those drop offs a little intimidating? Sure they are but as far as the trail goes it looks simple compared to stuff I've done.
@@PartimeOverland I was messing with you since you're driving a Toyota which obviously isnt an American car. I drive nothing but Toyotas myself. I've had two Tacomas an FJ that made Mr January in an offroad Calendar and I drive a Tundra now that I use for towing my Polaris. I got tired of paying out the ass for fixing my daily driver now I just drag the Polaris onto the trailer and fix it when I get around to it.
@@TrulyUnfortunate Haha😄 Yeah you got me on that one. Certainly not American. In fact I’m pretty sure the 4Runners are one of the last Toyotas to still be made in Japan - at least I know the 3rd gens were. They’re the best
@@PartimeOverland The Wife had the old school 4Runner. It went 275k miles with very few issues. She traded it in a 2020 Tacoma 4x4. My 07 FJ was built in Japan and it was rock solid. My Tundra was built just down the road from me here in Texas. One of my favorite trucks was a 98 Tacoma with the TRD blower. I went through a shitload of head gaskets over the years but that extra power was worth it.

If I remember correctly the 4Runner has the same front to back wheelbase as a Tacoma extended cab.
They just look longer.
@@TrulyUnfortunate the extended cab is definitely longer. the 4runner wheelbase is similar to the regular cab tacoma
I've wanted to do Black Bear for months. I'm an avid outdoor filmmaker, and I feel like it would be a sick place to shoot. I gotta fix some stuff on my 3rd gen first before I try and tackle it.
Hell yeah man! It's a fantastic trail. And for photography too! I could spend a whole day up there just shooting and flying the drone
Great video! The cinematography is on point and your write up of Black Bear Pass is good knowledge. Keep it up!
Man this is great. So glad to find your channel. I just bought a 3rd gen yesterday. I love it. How long have you had yours?
Black bear is on my bucket list... Great footage as well! Your 4R is sprung perfectly for your weight, what are you running for suspension and springs?
Too narrow for me. Pretty place but I’m good.
Hahaha it's a butt clencher for sure XD
What an amazing trail to spotlight. This trail has been on my bucket list for a couple of years now. Hopefully I’ll be able to make a trip out to Colorado this summer. Keep up the great work bro, and stay safe out there.
Thanks man! This trail is truly incredible. The whole telluride area is stunning
Great video! Its on my to do list for trails this summer. How was it with the tent? My buddy said it could get pretty top heavy for that trail.
Very cool got a 2000 4runner iam working on they so good jacked up now your video has changed my thinking any help with lift and wheel and tire size would be awesome thanks again Washingtonian
So many awesome trails out near Silverton. Idk about black bear 😂😂

Arrow for Telluride seemed to be a little above the downtown. 😅
There was no driver on the red truck
anyone know what winch he has and bumper ?
"Black Bear park is not an amusement park...."

Goodness that some scary stuff bro.

Hahaha it's a big boys amusement parkXD The one with no safety nets or reset buttons;)

Oh that's interesting! Yeah I'll definitely try that. TH-cam's a bitch sometimes with compression:/
I did mosquito pass a couple years ago in a stock Tacoma. I am curious if I should even consider this.

standard american car
Keep it up
Thanks man
Great video and view. Were you on 4L or use E locker during descent?
Thanks man! 4lo for the whole trail - I don't think I ever used my locker though. I rarely use it unless there's some tricky uphill sections
@@luisramosyoungbloke1232 As dangerous as this trail is why would you want to do this trail on 2wd 💀
Man I scooped my 2000 4Runner up all stock for $2500 cash and it was the best ride I’ve ever had I’ve since then put a 5 inch lift kit and 33 inch Mickey Thompson tires on it and i absolutely love it and plan on keeping it forever 280k miles and no lights on the dash truly the best truck ever made !!!
I live in Montrose just down thr road from there. I have an 01 4runner that I'm lifting. What shocks do you run? And would you recommend them?
Definitely not what I would wanna take my 3rd Gen on. I have way more ground clearance to roll over with- and The pass is so STEEP.
What’s mpg lookin like with this setup?
Not good... Haha jk it's not terrible, about 16-17 hwy and 14-15 city
We here bro💟

Well done. Stay safe.
Go the runners mate I just got one best car of my life.
I love them to death! Never selling mine:)
Blackbear is very intimidating, especially alone. Its a beautiful place!
Great video man! I know mistakes were made in that jeep video but its still too steep for my liking.
bro your drone footage completes your videos. wow. awesome stuff man.
Balls of steel from such a young lad. Kudos!
Best coverage i've seen yet....great work brother!!

What suspension and tires are you running?
Thanks for uploading this amazing video, greatings from Italy
Cheers brother! I’m actually in Italy right now:)🙌
I love what you do for me, Toyota!
how hard is it on the brakes?
I gotta say, you're pretty cool kid. I enjoyed the video.
I did it about a month before you for the second time. I'm obsessed with Black Bear.
Thanks Tom! This trail is stunning! Really a favorite of mine

@@SammyKurts-ku2ht where did you buy this from ? And how many miles.
This is a great video! Can you do an update video on your 4Runner setup. Lov your tent setup
Thanks man! I'll do another walkaround soon
This is art man! Beautiful video and dream build!
Damn thanks man, means a lot to hear🙏🏼👊 Love my 4runner🫶
Badass video bro! My favorite one so far!
RIP to the original video I tried to make XD We gotta do it with a whole crew sometime:)
How many miles on the rig ?
Just hit 222,222:)
I was cringing just watching it
HahaXD

Are those drop offs a little intimidating? Sure they are but as far as the trail goes it looks simple compared to stuff I've done.
Yes, the cars where the driver is on the left side? It's generally not a very technical trail, just has harsh consequences if you mess up.
