    I love it! I was going to say one of things I really like about your channel is that you don't do stuff for clicks or likes. It's very refreshing and informative

      Thanks, I feel the same way about the several nomad channels here on YT that I watch.

    Well-done my friend. It like a movie. This is certainly the most underrated SUV

    Funny how used SUV's, jeeps, trucks are so much more expensive in places like the NW and Rocky Mountains than more urban areas where there is not a lot of overlanding etc being done, you can get one of those for far less in one of those type areas, supply and demand I guess. Nice rig.

      NJ … big trucks that never see work are an epidemic here with the affluent boomers 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

    Nice one!
    Toyotas are built to last.
    I look forward to seeing the end result!

    Thanks for sharing your newest adventure. And your Mr. E mobile.
    I’m amazed at the notion that if something goes wrong, you will fix it.

    That's awesome! Those are hard to find and not that cheap because they hold their value so well. I gave up and got a Sienna. Wish I would've waited.

    Wow you got a pretty good starter kit. Already has a lift and 34 inch tires.
    I'm currently building my 2002 Sequoia.. I put my effort and energy into having 170 amp hours onboard. Lithium batteries. With a 100 watt solar panel. Can't wait to see more of your build I need to do an update video of my build.

    • @ThisLandHasMrE

      These are bulletproof rigs if maintained properly. I need upper/lower ball joints (very common issue for the 1st gens) and a few other more minor things, but for a 21-year-old rig it’s in pretty good shape.
      I just watched your rear hatch video, and I’m going to be ripping mine apart as well. Rare design flaw by Toyota. I ordered a similar custom part that I saw on the Wasatch Moto Overland channel. I’m also replacing my lock actuator back there. Like owning an old house...

      @@ThisLandHasMrE oh nice yeah I got watcstach handle on mine. Somehow I thought I had the Bennett and half to make it fit so mine's a little mangled but it works great... . Yeah I plan to get the aftermarket lower control arms. And of course the factory ball joints go with them. I think they were solo motorsports. They will move your front wheels one in forward. I've already bought the power steering rack bushings. But nothing else yet,.

    Did you install a diff drop kit, extended sway bar links for the 2.5in lift?

    • @ThisLandHasMrE
      @ThisLandHasMrE  Рік тому +1

      I bought it with the lift already done, but it’s got no extended sway bar links or diff drop kit.

    Have a 2001 four runner love this vehicle and would be happy to have it as my sole vehicle till I die ( hopefully another 10 years )…
    BUT
    Videos like yours of Sienna camper vans has me flirting with making a switch . I never go off road .
    If anyone looking for used TRUCKS and Range Rovers come to NJ . Pretty much flat state , gas is usually lower than elsewhere , and a lot of folks with money that like status🙄🙄 . I cannot tell you how many big Trucks that never see a lick of work or dirt are driving around !!! They are
    Always shine clean . And we have a Range Rover dealer in south Jersey … flattest part of the state 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
    The world is 🙃

    Is that ‘skin’ covering radar-stealthy? Not that you’d need that…

      🤔I don't know, but it would be nice since the speedometer is not calibrated properly for the oversized tires.
