😍😍😍👌👌👌👍👍♥️♥️

Hey Nate. I am changing my ATF and read a post on The Samba about filling the transmission through the dipstick tube. Thoughts? Thanks.

Love!!! C u soon!!

We used to plan our trips. During COVID we decided to just go. Whenever the government lifted the restrictions we just went. No planning, just headed out. They were some of the best trips that we had been on. Most of our trips now are not planned. Great way to go adventurig. Such a great spot to spend the night.

Hey, where could I find that puller tool at 7:25?

Yea. Can relate. Years ago lost my best friend and climbing partner of 20 years. Ya kinda assume these closest of friends will be around when you are an old guy - AND GO ON VAN ADVENTURES! And a long time pet is like another family member. Best to you both. Keep plugging along. Peace and comfort.

VW engine? I love my aircooled westfalia... but the footage of that climb made my hands sweat. Have had a few scary situations on steep FSR's where the engine just couldn't make it, no way to turn around, having to back down 😬

Hey, I didn’t remember you had a synchro, is that new… to you? Great vid. Since you have a synchro can you let us 2Wd’s know if you used synchro on those roads.

Great video! Nancy did great going up that hairy dirt road. Cool to see the historic lookout building intact. Glad you got to enjoy yourselves despite the roadblocks!

GPS coordinates?

Do you know the size of the npt fitting that threads from the vans hardlines into the regulator? I’m looking to just run a grille tank via hose direct to the van

Happy Birthday Nate! Glad to see ya'll out and about again on new adventures. Did ya'll get new wheels and tires?

Great Video and Happy Birthday Nate!

Thanks Nate. Great information! Was gonna do a TA rebuild but realized my 1990 has the upgraded gear so no pressure to rebuild it before 150K miles. So, just changed TA oil to Swepco 202 from Redline. Really noticing a big difference in shifting. Also upgraded to the GW SS fill and drain caps (not plugs). Both have magnets and all new threads. Recently had the linkage bushings upgraded to teflon and that makes a huge difference. Evidently the old style bushings absorb moisture and get tight. Teflon won't do that. BTW-did you two upgrade to a Synchro? Thought it looked like that on your recent video to the fire lookout.

Inspiring! Thanks and welcome back

Loved. Loved. Loved this video! Happy Belated Birthday 🎉

Hey Nate nice video😊 are you 4x4 or 2wd????

Glad you're both back on the road and smiling again. Adventure heals a lot of wounds. Great video! I found out there's a fire tower on JBLM that is VRBO-able. Have fun!

Another great one, very inspiring and wonderful to have you back!

Awesome as always from you guys! Happy birthday! I hope it was a great one! You guys are so inspirational! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us 🚐

What a great spot up there. Nice driving Nancy. Happy belated Birthday Nate. Thanks for bringing me along.

Great call on the crispy fried onions in the burrito/wrap!! Both Kim and I went “😮 ohhh yeah “ at the same time!!!!😅

Wow, what epic views!! I’d be so sketched out on that little road! Happy belated birthday 🥳

That mountain climb was epic! My stomach was in my throat, just watching it! Love the "Syncno" badge 😅

Ya, that’s a scary climb in a Vanagon 😬

The reason I prefer winter camping, less people

Wow! Not sure my Syncno would have done as well! Great to see the “joie de vie” after all that your family have endured. Yeah! Still the nicest (and most capable) Westy on the internet in my opinion! Thanks for taking us with, the panoramic views were awesome!

A new "syncno" badge and new rims?

Another one added to my list, thanks!

What a nice video, new wheels and syncro?

2WD SYNCRO?!😂

did you guys paint your wheels?

Great adventure, always look forward to you guys. Dispersed spots are getting harder to find for sure. Happy Birthday!

Nice work! Skillful driving to the top. Glad you didn't meet anyone on the way down. That might have been a challenge.

Nice seeing you guys again. Thank's for the video, fantastic as usual....

Another great story, thanks for sharing it!

Welcome back 😊

You are greate. Can't wait to see my syncro finished and start adventuring.

Best video explaining how to reassemble. I have mine off now waiting for new boots. Very helpful. It is a messy job with all that grease.

Sooo sorry to hear of your losses and the affect that it has had on you both and your family. Take whatever time you need to heal, and when you are ready, well all be here, subscribed and ready to share your next adventrue. Until then take care.

I am glad to hear that out of all this, it has brought you two closer.

Sharing your experience with grieving and mental health will help many others face their own trials and losses.❤

I'm so sorry for your losses! Thank you for being real! Sounds like you may be slowing down a bit and paying attention to your mind. That's a good thing! You have an amazing resource: Portland Friends of the Dhamma www.pdxdhamma.org Looks like they have a program starting in September with the monks. These guys are the real deal! These practices and teachings have helped me tremendously in dealing with depression and anxiety. May you be well 🙏💖

Life goes on til it doesnt. We dont know when so enjoy the moment. Love yall.

Great video Nate! Is your TA just a stock rebuild from GTA?

Ounce of prevention worrh a pound of cure!

Sending you soooo much love, and hugs, and good energy!!! The Lasswell Pack has been on a journey of its own. We completely understand the strengthening of the bond of love. So grateful you have each other. 24 years for us. You're an amazing team and we look forward to a time we can just "be" all together in a forest somewhere again. ❤️❤️❤️

12:38 - So at the end of the ride up that road (King's Peak?), did you find that your 2.2L Westy was enough motor? Any overheating issues? Looks like from a couple shots you were able to keep her at 3,000RPM's (or above) so as not to bog down. Finally, do you have an auxiliary cooler on your transmission?
