Glad to see that it was just a bearing failure. Us 3rd gen owners are used to that axle leaking, bad bearings and soaked brake pads. I used to transport for a living and when my Duramax broke down and left me stranded in Arkansas for 4 days it felt like eternity. At least the dealership gave me a free rental to use while my truck was down. Your daughter is a cutie pie, looks just like her mother.
I'm so sorry y'all had vehicle problems. I have so much enjoyed your videos of your travels of a life time that I can only dream about. On the bright side, you broke down in Alaska!!!!! It would be mundane to have a problem in Arizona but you made it all the way to ALASKA!!! So glad it was close enough to a place large enough to be able to fix your problem AND to have time to clean and renew before the next phase of your journey. I look forward to watching that next phase!
Hey! thats my buddy Clarky fixing your vehicle! I have all my work done at Northern Industrial Automotive, two vehicles transmission replacements and one engine, great shop!
The feeling of seeing your car ready to go after some repairs is beyond description. It's awful to take the hit on money and time, but seeing it put back together makes it worth it. I hope the passenger side holds up for a while.
We had a similar issue in Fairbanks. We were informed that the boot on our right rear cv axle was torn during an oil change at Jiffy Lube. The Fairbanks jeep dealer was great. It took 10 days for parts but they did the work under warranty for free. We camped near Chena Hot Springs at a state campground while we waited. They let us drive the jeep while we waited. I understand the only vehicle conundrum. Great video.
First of all there is no chance the cv axle boot could have been torn during a oil change unless they did it on purpose.second there is no hurry to change out the cv boot i have ran torn boots for 90,000 miles with no problem.Also the same goes for a wheel sencer.
@@toddmcclary2820 They had noticed the tear during inspection not caused it. I would have run longer but I have a lifetime 999 year, 999,999 mile warranty by MOPAR and I will have it fixed as soon as any defect is noticed. You may be willing to risk it but in ALASKA where most maintenance is 200 or more miles away and parts take weeks to get, I did it immediately. I wanted to do the Dalton Highway and I did not want to get stranded on a road that has fuel every 200 miles. I am always offroad and I would not risk multiple water crossings, rock crawling, or deep mud with a torn cv axle boot. Maybe in a 2k beater, not a 38k 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, in 2018.
Glad to see that at 15:10 you did a proper "battery reset" When you disconnect the battery that only does so much. When you short the terminals for the vehicle (with the battery disconnected) you discharge the capacitors in all the modules. That is what will clear some codes.
At least it got you to Fairbanks without major issues. And you were able to still have fun on the way. Made lemonaid out of lemons :) However, it's nice the 4Runner clued you in that something was wrong with the dash lights. On to the next destination. Great video. Fun editing.
Hopefully that will be the last of the major mechanical issues for you. Sorry if I jinxed you a few videos ago with my mention of wheel bearings. Glad you're back on the road again.
I had an issue while driving from Talkeetna to Fairbanks in a Sportsmobile last year. The guys at X-Ray Motors were able to get the part brought in from Anchorage next day and have us back on the road within 48 hours total. Funny lonely you feel when your rig breaks in the middle of nowhere (even in a "major" Alaskan city). Glad it eventually worked out for you guys. - Jeff AKA @OverLandCruiser1
You should figure that things will happen and you handled it well. So on to the next adventure I can't wait for the next episode. Thank you and be safe.
Not the adventure you're looking for, but stuff happens. Hopefully it wasn't too costly. Loved Alaska when we visited 13 years ago. So beautiful. Safe Travels and God Bless!
Dang. I wish I would have been following you last summer. I live in Fairbanks and could have helped you out! Glad you got it fixed up though. I hope you enjoyed your time here, even with all the Runner troubles!
I love your videos , I'm living my live adventures through you , thanks for the videos ! Oh and by the way thanks for my sticker and patch they arrived at my humble abode in perfect shape 🇺🇸👍!
Glad you got the 4Runner repaired. I would be cautiously optimistic about the bearing on the other side. Usually bearings go out at relatively low mileage after being hit with a lot of force sideways, like a wheel hitting a curb stone when making a turn. I'm surprised you did not hear the bearing making noise although rear bearings are harder to hear than front ones. Also, the frame is isolated from the cabin body thus making it more difficult to hear the bearing noise. I would advise to replace oil in the rear end ASAP if it was not already done at the shop. I would recomment Amsoil Severe Gear 80W-90 or any other premium synthetic GL-5 hypoid oil, like Mobil1. Amsoil sells gear oil in 1 qt. squeeze bags. This makes it very easy to pour it into the differential case without any additional pumps. Best of luck to you!
Bom dia. Me chamo Eliseu sou do Brasil e um inscrito no seu canal. Já estava ficando preocupado e ansioso por este vídeo. Parabéns pelos videos um grande abraço e tudo de bom!
Lifestyle Overland, so glad you guys are keep us update with your journey from the glitch of your 4Runner. I was just thinking to myself if you ever found out the problem from all the lights coming on? Excellent work and glad that someone is able to help you all out in a moment of notice.
okay... you guys got the best music!!!!! how to see you guys on the road our family got 3 kids.... do lots off road trip... and Alaska is on our list.. we only get to travel in the summer )-:
With a little effort, you can get gold: Tips...Where you were, I would have "dug" behind ( down river side) that big rock in the water. Dig down as deep as you could. Specks of gold during high water events, will gravitate behind that rock / get sucked in behind it. Instead of that green 1/2' / 3/4" classifier screen, get a 1/8" one to wash your pay into smaller, easier to pan material.
Another outstanding video! That old ford cab on the dozer frame in Chicken is pretty cool. Definitely gave me some ideas! The left wheel bearing in my 2008 4runner also gave me some trouble (at around 100k) but it was because water had got into it and destroyed the bearing. I also had to take the axle shaft to a Toyota dealership to have the new bearing pressed on (did both sides as a preventative measure). Two machine shops I normally use could not do it either. The weird thing is that while Toyota was more than willing to do the work, they would not let me even peek at the special tool they use for pressing bearings on/off. Having done some internet research, I’m pretty sure I know how to build one and even have everything to do it should this problem happen again. Keep up the great work!
I had something similar on a 1981 Toyota pickup when I drove up to Alaska as well. Driverside rear bearing heated up so much a few 'disappeared'. Had to pull the axle out in the campground at the cannery. Learnt how to put a new bearing on by placing the whole axle into the walk-in freezer with the new bearing just sitting above the press-on point. Wait a couple of hours, and come back with the bearing slipped into the right spot. Super cold and metal evidently works for pressing on new bearings.
Even though they have made mechanics much more of a science, than an art, there is still some stuff that just won't conform to our expectations. Like they say, it's not as easy as it looks. Glad you found some good folks to help you out. Remember; It's an adventure!
figured it was a bad wheel speed sensor, but didn't realize a wheel bearing would be real culprit... unfortunate timing, but makes for good stories later in life. :) safe travels.
I enjoy your videos and actually had the same issue last night. Exact same lights came on my dashboard. First I tried to reset the code by disconnecting battery, checked the sensor and it was covered in gear oil, grinding sound soon followed. I stumbled upon your video last night and I ordered a new bearing and new seal. Same side and everything.
Well I'm glad it all worked out for you you did put a lot of miles on it if that was the only problem other than a flat tire you did all right for that Cross country tour as always great video. 👍👍🇨🇦
Beautiful show and beautiful family. I'm sorry that you folks had a bad experience with the bearing and got dinged for the dealers inexperience. Having had to replace rear wheel bearings myself in the field, the process can be a bummer. It helps if your rig is a bit old school and has half shafts, then it's just an unbolt and bolt up job. Keep on trucking, as I am sure you know, you are building memories for a life time. Cheers
After I wrote "So you are out there in the middle of nowhere and you don't have a good car scanner that might be able to tell you what's going on? That's brave. It just goes to show you how much easier it's gotten to travel the world." Google pops up your review of Torque Pro. 😂😂 Thanks for the great review.
That was quite the work just to get a bearing replaced. My 08 Chevy Equinox the bearing and hub (with sensor) come in one assemply. This way all I have to do is take off the brakes, unbolt the hub and bolt in the whole new assembly without having to press any bearing. Takes a whopping hour. Once again a great video though!
Chicken,Alaska. I thought absolutely know one knew of it. Ya, kind of hard not to since at least they were the only place to get gas. Ok, OK so that may have been 40 years ago. great fishing also. Thanks for cranking up the old memory banks. Oh ya, I was in a Chevy K 5 Blazer with 4 other grown kowtowing a 16ft pop up with a 16 boat on top we had to off load every night.
Ohh this reminds me of me having the same thing happen to me at the North Cape in Norway. Costed me a fortune as well. They eventually had to call another customer of theirs and take the bearing off his car and fit it to my car. Luckily it made it for the remaining 6000 km, but back home it was completely buggered. So I let the wheelbearing on the same wheel be changed twice in 3 weeks, but damn was it worth it. Norway is awesome!
Interesting the shop didn't have the right press, I mean the gen 5 has only been around a decade now. Glad your fixed now and on your way. Just in case you want to pan for gold again, try the inside bend of a creek.
Welcome to Fairbanks (as the locals tell me). Things are a bit different there and aren't always readily available. They call it the "Fairbanks Tax" lol
I feel like I've heard it before I just can't remember where.. maybe some PBS special. Or maybe I'm wrong LOL anyways thanks I'll check your brothers web page out.
@@LifestyleOverland ..Thx!...just a short note...as much as im trying to leave Unikornia, if your ever near or around San Diego, check out TrailRecon. He's a vet with a great jeep site, member of the San Diego Jeep Club and they take all comers. He post some great local trails, as well as Black Bear, some MOAB stuff ya might like.
Hello, Love your page. Bummer you had wheel br problems. I own a machine shop in Phx AZ and do those all thew time for my customers. Parts and labor is about 600. hope you didn't pay to much more then that, but it is Alaska. Happy Trails
I know a guy who lives in Fairbanks . He works as a Firemen at Fort Wainwright Army Post . He's a Coast Guard Veteran he was stationed in Kodiak , Alaska . He's originally from Washington , State .
Boy ain't that a bitch ! I had an exploder fall apart in the mountains of Geogia, took the dealer 2 weeks to get it drivable, and when I picked it up, they had broken a brake line and I had to drive it home with no brakes (more or less) All I-40 home, so never used brakes... What a miserable vacation !! Glad you came out of it without too much damage ! Hope your wallet and calendar recovered !
No, the closet we came was that caribou and our current bumper wouldn't have helped much. You'll want a full frame style to help with the big critters.
i see and hear about these all the time, but i always forget... what is the name of the phone holder your running with the metal and four arms w rubber tips really looks stable.... does it work good? where can i pick one up?
When you have a chance grab a OBDII scanner. Even a cheap Bluetooth or Wifi on would be great to help trouble shoot some issues on the trail so you know what repair to expect. The added benefit of one that connects to an app is you can see live vehicle data on your tablet.
How much does your 4R weigh in at? You mentioned it being pretty heavy. Are you over your GVWR? What does your trailer weigh? Totally just curious. Glad you were able to get it fixed (as painful as the repair cost was) and able to get back on the road. Hope you had a great time in AK - my home state!
Hi Ho Siiiiiilver (love the 4R name), away!! Back on the road again, what a good feeling. Those were some tense and uncertain moments, sure felt for you guys. Makes one realize how vulnerable we really are on the road and far from home; can be like being up a creek without a paddle. Thankfully Air BNBs come in handy for just such times as these. Do you have any idea what your gross vehicle weight is with all accessories and passengers? Would be curious to see how close you are vs. the longevity of wheel bearings, etc. From what I understand the 4Runners are over engineered and built to take some abuse.
@@LifestyleOverland Not bad for all the hardware you have stacked on to the 4R. Here's a cheap, effecting and DIY method to replace those rear wheel bearings ua-cam.com/video/R-c2x3F8DU4/v-deo.html

Love your videos! You put so much work in to them and it shows!
Thanks! Really appreciate that!

With a little effort, you can get gold: Tips...Where you were, I would have "dug" behind ( down river side) that big rock in the water. Dig down as deep as you could. Specks of gold during high water events, will gravitate behind that rock / get sucked in behind it. Instead of that green 1/2' / 3/4" classifier screen, get a 1/8" one to wash your pay into smaller, easier to pan material.
Thanks for the tips!!
I've used a really large socket to press/tap in bearing on my 3rd gen. You need to be careful, but it works.
I’m glad you kept going north and into Alaska more, I thought you were headed south after Tuktoyuktuk!
Oh there's so much more to come!
nice vieos my friend enjoy very nice family good luck forever
Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!

Someone shared a link somewhere in these comments to a tool on eBay that is designed for it. If I had a garage and time I would have went that route!
I had something similar on a 1981 Toyota pickup when I drove up to Alaska as well. Driverside rear bearing heated up so much a few 'disappeared'.

Enjoy!
Why not do the other wheel bearing on the passenger side? Seems like a good time to do both.
Didn't they?
Yeah and wait several more days to get the other bearing? It didn't appear that there was any damage to it.
Let it ride until you get back to the state's, lot less trouble getting it fixed or getting faster appointments.
Awesome video!!!
Thanks, Chris!

Isn't Dawson the place that has the Sourtoe cocktail ? Did you try it ?
That is why I replace bearings all four wheels needed or not before I go, amount many others parts. 👍🏾
So, what was the damage? NM, I dun wanna know. My son has a 4Runner with a V8...he loves it, lifted it, fun stuff right there.

Hello, Love your page. Bummer you had wheel br problems. I own a machine shop in Phx AZ and do those all thew time for my customers. Parts and labor is about 600. hope you didn't pay to much more then that, but it is Alaska. Happy Trails
Hi Kevin. I like your your adventures. I have a question: how many miles has your 4Runner on it?
In this episode it was at 113,700
Lifestyle Overland wow, not too many miles. I wonder why broke so early!. Thanks. Keep up with the good work.
Most likely from all the hard use and heavy weight. Thanks!
Why did the road cross Chicken?
Love your vlogs - thanks
I know a guy who lives in Fairbanks . He works as a Firemen at Fort Wainwright Army Post . He's a Coast Guard Veteran he was stationed in Kodiak , Alaska . He's originally from Washington , State .
Boy ain't that a bitch ! I had an exploder fall apart in the mountains of Geogia, took the dealer 2 weeks to get it drivable, and when I picked it up, they had broken a brake line and I had to drive it home with no brakes (more or less) All I-40 home, so never used brakes... What a miserable vacation !! Glad you came out of it without too much damage ! Hope your wallet and calendar recovered !
Where did you guys start driving from in the States and how long did it take you to get to Alaska?
With all your traveling, have you ever hit an animal on the road? I'm trying to decide which front bumper to put on my 4runner yours looks nice.
No, the closet we came was that caribou and our current bumper wouldn't have helped much. You'll want a full frame style to help with the big critters.
i see and hear about these all the time, but i always forget... what is the name of the phone holder your running with the metal and four arms w rubber tips really looks stable.... does it work good? where can i pick one up?
It's a Ram Mount x-grip. Here's a part's list: www.lifestyleoverland.com/ram-mount-solutions/
Did y'all check your secondary air injection pumps
When you have a chance grab a OBDII scanner. Even a cheap Bluetooth or Wifi on would be great to help trouble shoot some issues on the trail so you know what repair to expect. The added benefit of one that connects to an app is you can see live vehicle data on your tablet.
How much does your 4R weigh in at? You mentioned it being pretty heavy. Are you over your GVWR? What does your trailer weigh? Totally just curious. Glad you were able to get it fixed (as painful as the repair cost was) and able to get back on the road. Hope you had a great time in AK - my home state!
Around 6,700 lbs when fully loaded including passengers, full main tank, and 14 gallons of extra fuel. So about 300 to 400 over GVWR.
Oh the whole setup is about 10,087 fully loaded with 48 gallons of water on board.
@@LifestyleOverland Hmm, not a surprise how much of strain you had on your suspension.
Hi Ho Siiiiiilver (love the 4R name), away!! Back on the road again, what a good feeling. Those were some tense and uncertain moments, sure felt for you guys. Makes one realize how vulnerable we really are on the road and far from home; can be like being up a creek without a paddle. Thankfully Air BNBs come in handy for just such times as these. Do you have any idea what your gross vehicle weight is with all accessories and passengers? Would be curious to see how close you are vs. the longevity of wheel bearings, etc. From what I understand the 4Runners are over engineered and built to take some abuse.
Thanks! We are at about 6,700 lbs totally loaded. About 400 over GVWR.
@@LifestyleOverland Not bad for all the hardware you have stacked on to the 4R. Here's a cheap, effecting and DIY method to replace those rear wheel bearings ua-cam.com/video/R-c2x3F8DU4/v-deo.html
