      You likely consume more fuel then usually off road so plan with two extra cans for a trip like that and maybe even an additional spare.

      Maybe get some more water too.

    We just figured out the shower system, got the little pop up privacy tent, and pool noodle around the bucket top as toilet for the wife. It does need to be expensive it just needs to work and save space while keeping everyone comfortable and happy. It is fun figuring out systems that work. The planning, prepping and building is part of the journey so I appreciate you sharing.

    Regarding fuel, I'd recommend fitting an auxiliary fuel tank underneath the truck in the same place as the stock spare tire goes. Remove that and you can fit a large tank. We did that and along with a 2" body lift it enabled us to have close to 70 gallons of fuel. All underneath the truckbed in a self-contained system. Useful when snow wheeling in a 44" modified Tacoma in Iceland.

      Better to be over prepared from a survival standpoint than not. Especially going off grid and into the wilderness. Not going on the freeway where they can stop at the next gas station to restock and refuel. Only thing they are missing is a gun/rifle to protect themselves from bears/cougars/wolves and other animals. Or hunt for food.

      I agree. Theres a lot of overlanders who you can tell have never done any actual camping or backpacking. Its obvious they've only ever done glamping. Backpackers know how to distill gear down to the actual essentials to carry less weight. Also... that wasn't coffee.

    Gat a Sawyer squeeze water filter for emergencies. You can get water from streams, springs, and puddles. I go backpacking and never have dishes to do. I package all my food in 1 pint Freezer Bags. Breakfast for example, I put 1 cup of Raisin Bran + 1/3 cup NIDO into freezer bag. When I want to eat, I add enough water to cover, shake, and eat out of the bag. I package Dehydrated Refried Beans & Minute Rice + Taco seasoning + Dehydrated Cheese Powder. I add boiling water when ready to eat. Instant Mash Potatoes plus boiling water, then add cheese & sour cream, and bacon bits... Instant Loaded Potatoes. No dishes, because I am eating out of the freezer bag.

    Basically, what we've got here is a gas powered tent w/ basically essentials and some nons thrown in. I'd done some things differently. Basically the entire mindset going into the build. Assuming this ride was basically only $100,000 and its going basically 500 miles we've basically spent $20 a mile. That's a great deal when you think about after the trip we've basically got a free truck for another 400,000 miles or so.

    Hey, mate,
    If Toyota starts selling Tacoma in Korea, and they come in all varieties, I want you guys to set up Tacoma Beast dealerships in Seoul, Busan, Gwangju, Daejeon, etc. I'll be an ambassador for your business, I'm so inspired and motivated by a lot of the videos you guys are showing, Korea is still a small market for tuning and the government doesn't give out many permits, but who knows, it has the potential to rebound into a huge market in the future. Korean people and guys love camping so much. If you're ever in Korea, let me know and I'll volunteer to be your guide.

    Don't listen to the haters bro. You built an amazing truck! Those that talk shit are just jealous they don't have the same thing. Work hard, buy what you want, and enjoy the life you have. The outdoors calls us all, and how we get out there is determined by our budget. If you don't have much to throw into a truck, you can still go out and have a blast; albeit with less amenities; but if you have the funds to build up a dope truck then do it. I love to see your excitement for the hobby/ lifestyle, and I hope these fucktards that throw shade on you don't inhibit your desire to share your journey. I loved the video, and I hope to see more!

    I love all the gear but I've found camping is more fun the less I bring. Now I just throw a couple packs in the truck, one for me one for the wife. A couple bins in the bed. Recovery gear and cook ware. Portable fridge. Goal Zero battery bank. 3000W generator. Yeti cooler. A few Roam boxes with camp gear, tools etc. Rooftop tent. Also a ground tent as a backup. 4 wheeler on my off road trailer. 40 gallons of extra gas on my rotopax mount. 10 gallons potable water. Roof mounted solar panels. 4 extra cold weather sleeping bags. Portable camp shower plus toilet. Fold out awning. Portable screen plus my projector so we can watch outdoor movies. Couple jetskies on my trailer as well. Also gotta bring my wood carving kit plus my travel taxidermy kit. Few dozen hunting rifles. Dog sled. Water desalination kit. Portable chemistry set. Fireworks. Just the basics.
    That's about it. Keep it simple. Best way to have the most fun out in the woods.

      @christianlamar1295 3 роки тому

      @Franz Hernandez coming from somebody with some off-road experience, have done a number of runs with groups in Nevada, Cali, and Arizona, the Tacoma is probably your best bet if you want to really go places. A lot of those trails can be pretty narrow and those are some expensive trucks that may likely take a beating. Taco’s can almost go anywhere a Jeep can depending on how you build it. They are all great options tho. Just don’t be afraid of scratches down the length of whatever you get. Just wanted to dive my 2 cents.
