The roof rack was 100% essential, given that it remained empty the entire time.
It’s so we know it’s an off-road van.
it was a viewing platform for a few minutes!
Aesthetics are everything
So, basically every roof rack on every Subaru.
@@rustler08 I use mine :( lol
The production quality is insanely good at donut. Your behind the scenes guys are extremely talented (on screen too of course).
my farts smell better then Donut's farts.
i remember like half a year ago, people complained about the low effort videos. Donut definitely pulled through
@@mr.cheese2278I’ll be the judge of that.

10:43 whether they noticing it or not, Donut really helps build a beautiful friendship or brothership between them three. Love watching this. Still remembered the time when Jobe handle Money Pit, Jerry handle B2B, and Justin being awkward new guy.
How does Donut keep dropping these bangers all the time?? Props guys.. Poor Justin holding on for dear life while while Jobie’s driving..
Jerry saying the sentence “riding a 105 year old man 200 miles” is absolutely wild
i was looking for this comment
🤨
how do you ride a person
your too innocent@@griffinroblox73
@@griffinroblox73 you have much to learn young fella
I think that Donut should make a series where the boys take part in all of the most silly races across USA.
Would be so iconic to see always a bright donut yellow car on the grid!
yes!!!!!!! @Donut you have to!
Donut racing team xd Love the idea!
gold idea
Top gear 2
Previa? heck yeah! I love these mini vans in awd platform. I helped maintain 3 of them for over 10 years and even replace a blown motor in one. I live in the brutal winter midwestern Wisconsin and the awd platform was ahead of all its competitors. In the summer heat the over head auxiliary ac unit was so delightful for the rear passengers. I would have gladly donate one to Donut if I had one today.
I am super excited to see Donut at the Gambler again. The video with James, Ify, Bart and Chappie is classic.
One of my favorite UA-cam videos of all time.
Went from a small production crew to this, crazy what y’all have accomplished. Anyone remember Bart though?
Bart was awesome 👍
They need to bring back Science Garage fr, def one of the top 3 donut shows
I'll be honest, if it wasn't because of Science Garage and Bart, I wouldn't have known Donut for as long as I am right now
@@lukavasovic2820damn sound like you guys have been watching since they started
Miss Bart. And all the old series they did
Seeing Justin in the powerwheels makes me want to see a donut series about upgrading a powerwheels
THIS
Collaboration with Grind Hard Plumbing Co 🙌
@@Orofino6yes that would be awesome
Hell yes
I can hear it now...
"A Turbo? A Cummins engine? A JET ENGINE??? In this video, we see what it takes to make a beautiful Powerwheels to go 100 miles per hour. First things first, we need to take it to the dyno to see how many hrsprs this baby has..."
its insane how far these guys have come. and they all seem just as genuine as before they got famous
I've always thought it would be a good idea for you guys to try something like this. You fit the road trip/TG style of car content really well because of your chemistry with each other. Cool to see, hope you do more like this.
I feel like whenever these junkers rises to a challenge like this, it deserves a rebuild. I want a build series that turns the Previa into a fun little off-roader.
I actually think it would be an excellent offroad vehicle. It is well balanced and reliable. Raise it, give it good suspension and tires, and let it run wild.
@@aaronburkeen6409 true plus most old japanese minivans came with a 4wd option so i wouldn't be surprised if the previa did too. If they swapped that in combined with the manual trans+4wd box and fixing all the issues i think it would beat alot of off-road vehicles
@@Makaya9sprevia did come with an awd option. Also came with a supercharged option
@@Makaya9s it did. Previa options included 4x4, supercharger, and a five speed manual. All though if you wanted the manual, you couldn't have the supercharger and vice versa.
@@Demonslayer20111 unless you put the supercharger in anyway!
I love Previas. I used to tell people (when I had the AllTrac SE Supercharged version) that I drove the minivan equivalent of a Porsche 911 a turbo. Mid engine, all wheel drive and forced induction. Glorious car!!
honestly looks good for a minivan, too. kinda like the shape.
I was never a minivan customer but I remember the sensation caused by the Chrysler Minivan in 1983 (for 84). Toyota came along 7 years later and 4 years after that was the Honda Odyssey. If Toyota had been the only Japanese challenger to the Chrysler Minivan, it would have caught on quickly but Honda had established their reliability and came along with a simpler design, nice appointments, better looks and a lower price.
I own a Tacoma and I would never purchase a unibody "pickup" like the Honda Ridgeline.
previas are sick, i have one similar to this that i modded and go camping in (n/a, rwd, slighly less clapped out). theyre good comfy cars with a surprising amount of room and have decent capability with suspension mods. main downside is they're a absolute nightmare to work on (especially when that headgasket goes👎)
@@SpaceMissile they do!! I used to call mine “the grub” because it reminded me of a grub cruising around on the Forrest floor lol
coolest minivan ever, hands down
If nothing else, this speaks volumes to the old school Toyota Previa.
Honestly love seeing you guys thriving! Been watching you guys since 2016/2017 and am so happy your guy’s stuff is in Zumies!
How does Donut keep dropping these bangers all the time?? Props guys.
Love DONUT!😊
Bros dickriding...
Donut has been on a decline ever since they stopped the individual shows and they've become a surface level car youtube channel now
These are thirvest videos
@@WandileTlaleanethey’re obviously just doin what gets the most views
Anybody has idea that which lake was there campsite?
Poor Justin holding on for dear life while while Jobie’s driving.
💀
And he not even looking at the road half the time just pinning it
Watching whoever was in the recliner try to survive was amazing 😂
You know what made this a perfect trip? Not having James in the back seat saying “HrSpRs” and other stupid over animated sayings every 2 minutes. Thanks for leaving him home Doughnut.
I think I speak for the majority of ppl when I say we’d prefer longer videos when the topic is anything related to a road trip, it gives very old top
gear-esque vibes and the longer it is the more enjoyable to us, or at least me
I’m so glad to finally see Justin getting settled in and comfortable at Donut
i felt like Justin never felt out of place though.
Yeah! I wasn't sure of him when he was first introduced but man he's irreplaceable now! What a great lad.
He always had the personality, passion, and knowledge. he just had to hone his on camera skills. Now days shines as a host and presenter.
@@wookiebear8468not so much out of place, but he had that nervous newbie vibe, and the last few videos that’s been gone.
He's been there over a year
A previa with a welded diff sounds like the ultimate daily driver
You guys have been seriously upping the quality of your videos. The pace has been amazing, coupled with the huge improvement in editing. Always happy to watch your videos!
Watching Donut as an adult is like watching Top Gear as a kid or teenager...
There is only one...of a kind!
I love this channel and I love everyone who shares my love for these guys 🤝🤝
Exactly, Donut is for me now the place that Top Gear was for many years
This Previa video practically pays homage to the Hilux episodes.
Just more proof that Yota builds tanks.
I'm glad that it legit is like that. I mean, I'm glad the legacy of the trio lives on through these guys.
@@donkedic1 its Toyota! ;P
Instead of driving expensive cars
They drive cars you see in Craigslist 😂
I'd love to see an extended cut of this trip!
Yeah I felt like it was compacted too much. Didn’t really give the sense of adventure, more like: hurry up we gotta get this video out!
Man I've been waiting on another Donut x Gambler video for YEARS, and this episode is really showing how good Donut have gotten, it's arguably almost TV quality
That rug really ties the room together.
I love how Justin was in the back hands spread out he made his own roll cage 😂😂 13:07
"roll cage" got me chortling over here
that killed me too lmao
He's keeping the Previa from falling apart lol
Jerry holding the TV like a Laptop kid is the funniest thing to be honest
Finally!! Excellent video! Wish it was longer! I would watch an hour long cut of this!
The extra effort that goes into the graphics, sounds and titles on these videos are amazing. Some of the best on the internet.
Justin casually walking out the Goodwill with a mini fridge in his hands might be easy manliest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
I once saw a crackhead carrying a full size fridge on his back while riding a bike.
The guy who delivered my washer and dryer just carried them in like they were nothing. I'm not a small dude either, but I'm also not just slapping a hand on either side of a washing machine and picking it up throw sheer upper body strength.
its so cool to see how much you guys have grown as a channel
But not as adults lol
@@jjlpinct Being an adult sucks
This reminds me of Clarkson, Hammond, and May Top Gear times
@@lawlkings Back in 06, my best teenage memories is coming home on friday to watch top gear :D
@@GuneetAtwal1996 indeed it does
They are really starting to understand the kind of content we love seeing. Keep. It. Up.
Love all these off-roading videos
These videos crack me up. They show that you can have a similar experience in both a million dollar rv and a 500$ van 😂
But the $500 Van won't be so overloaded the driveshaft turns itself into a baguette 🥖
@@ganzonomy a baguette?
@@SpaceMissile long twisted bread thing
The same experience is generous😂
@@ganzonomy i have never seen a twisted baguette though
OMG! I was asking James literally couple weeks ago if there is any chance they will do Gambler500 again and here it is! Thanks Donut! I hope you'll make this an annual tradition :)
shut up
I drove through that same area in my 1986 Toyota Winnebago during Descend on Bend. Everyone got stuck and needed to get towed out, my little camper made it through like a champ, going all the way up Paulina Peak carrying 7000 lbs with a 35 year old 4 cylinder engine.
The editing and flow on this video was top notch honestly. Can't believe how far you've guys come!
Toyota Previas are indestructible and Jerry's ripped... got it.
Seriously though, this is one of my top 3 favorite videos that you guys have done. Great job ❤
I would watch an hour of an episode like this.....such great quality content!
Loved this video, just stupid risky fun, a tunnel, beautiful view from the volcano. Awesome, keep it up!
been binging Donut for a few weeks now. Sad I missed that meet up a few months back. Would love a big city east coast tour with the merch van!
The Previa was my first car. It was a hand me down. Amazing vehicle. Amazing content. More Previa shenanigans!!!
Learned to drive on one...two actually. Both RWD models, and only one with ABS. One of the main reasons why snow doesn't scare me!
They should make these like an hour long instead of such a "highlight reel" imo. This video is so similar to what UK Top Gear used to to for specials and now for The Grand Tour. They just need to be a lot longer and slower paced and these guys would have a gold mine on their hands.
These videos give me Prime Top Gear Vibes. Love it!
Achievement unlocked. Donut Media has transformed into the American equivalent of peak-Top Gear with Clarkson, Hammond, and May.
Man I love those Previas. The design is the future of the past lol. Just started watching it. I know this is gonna be a good one. DONT KILL THE PREVIA! 😂
It survived Hell Yeahhhh Previa
Justin always being casually swoll - carrying a mini fridge like it’s a moving box with some towels in it
these three are gold together, love it
Jobe seems like the best guy to choose on a trail if you want to have a good time
I was right there when they pulled in such amazing and genuine people amazing to meet you guys!
Lake Paulina, right? One of my favorite spots in Oregon
Damn dudes, I knew you deserved it but when I started watching James years ago I never thought I'd see the day the merch would be in malls across North America. Congrats on all the success, we love ya
One of the best episodes. You guys have such good chemistry. Previa chem
Give that Previa the love it deserves. Make it the second Money Pit car lmao
The BeamNG energy is big with this one!
The Previa, at least the first gen which i think is the only one here in the US, is wild. Mid engine supercharged mini van with a fish bowl top. Theres some wild and cool vans (among other off and on road focused vehicles) from Japan but the Previa is a unique one. Especially looking through the Kei cars and other JDM only stuff. Pajero Mini, S660, Beat, Cappucino obviously as far as K cars but theres so many more "Previa"-s too.
Love this type of video format!
Jusso chillin HARD in the back. livin that life of true Priva luxury.
These things are legit. We had a Previa growing up, sold it to a friend in HS who abused the crap out of it off roading. Ran great until a massive rock did some underbody damage that wasn't worth fixing.
I love my Previa so much. Mine is built so similar to this one. Was a nice surprise opening UA-cam and damn near seeing my car on Donut😂
Amazing! I feel so good to watch your video. Inspire me a lot.
Donut is awesome love u guys hope this crazy ride goes smoothly and love everything you guys do 🖖🏻🤟🏻🤘🏻👍✌️👏🏻🙌🏻🤪🦾💪🏻
Donut is the new Top Gear, and I ain't even joking. You guys are freakin' amazing!
Maniacs.....😆 More non offroad cars taken offroad please ❤
These guys have the OG Top Gear energy. May, Hammond, and Clarkson can never be replaced, but maybe
Since Justin already has one, can we pretty please see a Donut (& friends) vs Mickey (the Walmart/Coleman bike nemesis) Power Wheels build competition?? 🤞🤞
Wow that rug really ties the build together
Would love to see donut competing in 24 hours of lemons🍋
Great vid as usual! Went to Zumiez on east coast only had 1 style tshirt and 1 hat. Hope more variety becomes available soon in the stores.
The rug that tied everthing together really got me. One of the best movies ever.
Dude i love how much this feels like the old top gear or the grand tour episodes, u guys are awesome, love this stuff so much ❤
Always love these little adventure videos you all do. These guys go through so much for our enjoyment. Need a new season of Hi Lo and Money Pit tho!
DUDE Y'ALL!!!!!! Good job on the partnership!!! I've watch you guys since you first started and its crazy to see how far ya made it!! KEEP THIS SHIT UP!!!
Keep doing this do trips like top gear that's what we wanna see and it bring fun life back to the channel happy to see a banger finally
This channel has become unbelievably amazing everything about it changes constantly more uploads absolutely love the entire crew and have for years just an absolute pleasure and And can't appreciate them anymore for all the hard work everyone of them do including everybody behind the scenes don't up media forever they're just so awesome!
Donut media, you are awesome, you guys taught me everything I need to learn about cars and I was able to fix an 2008 Acura TL type s with all the knowledge you guys provide, thank you ❤❤
No you dudnt
@@lamp7746😂😂
Super dope video. Love the off-road content!
All these offroading series over the years and never any just up the road in Tahoe. Come visit, Donut! Run the Rubicon Trail in the Previa. Turn it into a DIY adventure van and hit Adventure Van Expo then go for a overlanding trip. The way I would gasp..
Thank you guys for posting this, I was tired of scrolling for a video 😂
Same 😅
Killed one of these during "Cash for Clunkers". I was completely blown away by the mid engine placement, the 4WD drive system and the remote accessory drive. Had a ton of miles on it but still ran forever after putting in the death sauce. I was even more surprised when I learned there was a supercharged and manual trans option.
fuck cash for clunkers. sad anybody would send in a previa.
and this isnt even the alltrac version of the previa. what a goat van. such an underated van. Glad Donut gave it some shine
I love all of you but I just finished watching all the Top Gear road trips and I can't help but role my eyes. Boys, watch those road trips and take inspiration. But what ever you do, keep at it because yall got it
Absolute banger of a video. With the only 3 top gear boys on the way out of the film making industry someone funny needs to take up the torch. If it were to be you three I would have no complaints seeing more crazy specials from you!
WoW. For a video I didn’t think would be any fun or good. 😅 I loved every dang minute of it. Y’all should be proud of yourselves honestly. Great chemistry, awesome camera crew and excellent editors. 😂❤❤❤❤❤
Im so glad you guys Exist reminds of the top gear days but way cooler and younger. And have thw ability to work on cars like you guys do.
Got some distant old school top gear vibes and couldn’t be more happy about it!
Love to see the Previa getting TLC after this and maybe some minivan videos
Donut never fails to entertain !!
You guys should seriously fix it after that punishment and make it something special. It handled it pretty well.
Funnest episode of Donut in a hot minute, well done!!!
This was so amazing! I daily'd a Previa for 4 years. Same spec as yours. Most reliable vehicle I ever owned. Legit. What other 30 year old vehicle can you daily with 250k on it and do nothing but oil changes and brakes to in a 4 year span?!
Side note, that squealing was something mine did too. It was because of water that had gotten in with the freon. Flush your AC system and it should go away. And that sensor that got melted was the VSS so that's why you had those shifting issues. Previa's are so rad man. You guys did an awesome job showing off how great they are.
best vans
As soon as I saw Gambler 500 I was so excited. It's great you are coming back to the gambler 500 since your first video was so great. Would love to see this become an annual thing
Y’all stay providing us with firee content 😭😭😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this feels like a top gear challenge in the best possible way.
I had the honor of bumping into you guys at gambler town, for some reason I called Zack, Kyle . Huge mistake and very embarrassing, my B Zach. Congrats to everyone at doughnut on the zumies deal ! Mini bike madness at next years gambler Jeremiah !?
I LOVE THESE OLD TOYOTA MINI VANS!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST
Love these kind of videos.
The production in this video is on another level!!!!!!!!
