Nice channel!! Just found it and have poked around looking for a place to ask a question with no luck so I'll try here. Is you 4Runner a TRD Pro? I think I saw that badge on the left rear C pillar? Other than the snorkel, and tires what mods have you done to it? I'm leaning toward getting a 5th gen. Did I see a hint you are dropping the 4runner for a Comanche in the next season of videos? Why did you choose a 4runner over a FJ or Tacoma? I can only have one vehicle so it has to be able to do everything OK. I don't think I will be as hardcore as you re: off roading but I'd still want to get off the beaten path. Any factory package in 4 runner you'd recommend for someone who doesn't have the time and skills to do his own mods. Thanks for your time and expertise.
@@timhardman4764 Thanks, Tim! Welcome to the channel! It's a 2014 Trail Edition, nothing fancy but came with the locker. No, we will probably never have a Comanche. We chose the 4Runner for its perfect size to storage ratio. Couldn't see out of the FJ. Tacoma has zero leg room in the back seat. I'll be doing a full walk around video of it soon and talk about the mods. 130k of hard use and we still love it!
I love your Lil girl and the whole family dynamic to your videos. The cinematography the music is all. Just top notch! Take me to another world your videos do. Thanks! New subscriber ❤️
Used to stop at Paxon Lodge and have some awesome burgers at the end of fishing/hunting trips. One year coming back from Valdez (we lived in North Pole) we came across a guy about 50 miles south of Paxon carrying a king salmon on the side of the road, he was Japanese. He had gone off into the ditch with his rental car and was walking through copious brown bear territory. I remember dad making him sit in the camper on the floor, he stank so bad, only to drop him off at Paxon Lodge at the pay phone. Dad said, "not my problem anymore, glad he didn't get mauled." Great video, brought back a flood of memories. Tangle Lakes, if you go down a few of the "rapids" (they're not bad) the fishing is insanely good, at least it was in the 70's, 80's and 90's.
@@LifestyleOverland Yup! I agree. You have become such a good storyteller over the course of you video making!! It is easy to get lost in your vids. I hope that you consider/ing putting together an actual documentary to enter into film festivals!! You would be some serious competition for them!!
Warms my heart to see that you went into this area. Though I live in the lower 48 (N. Cal.), I did two backpacking trips new near the north face of Denali (Wonder Lake area) back in the day; got married on one of those trips; and climbed Denali where I had my 31st birthday half way up the mtn. Summited on day #30 (some serious bad weather!). Fast forward 30 something years, and I am now recently retired and we have grandkids and life is good. You'll never forget this adventure. But I am sure that you know that. Subscriber, Geologyjohn
The whole "In over my head" musical score playing while we watch as you steadily are running out of land, is fantastic. Well done. I am new to this lifestyle and will purchase my Tacoma this summer. I am really looking forward to it. I have subscribed and will be watching and learning.
You all are awesome, great share of your life and travels.....we’ve been so hung up in careers and such, you lose track of why we are here. We are much older, but only one out of six children left here at home, we have 14 moths left before she leaves........we are talking about a trip/travel up to Alaska.....Advice to all, live life, life is to short, manage accordingly and live life to its fullest. God Bless you all, enjoy, and treasure these times, we admire you and enjoy watching your journey, a wonderful family✌🏻✌🏻
Ever since UA-cam exploded with people having great channels and I got into overland, I agree with you. People should try and go out and explore. I have a guy who work at my job. Worked hard and bought himself his one and first brand new Chevy Silverado 4x4 at the age if 42. He is married with teenagers. He is a modest guy and he is very proud of himself of working hard to buy a brand new car with a tight budget, he takes his kids every summer to state parks across the country. They camp a lot along the way to save money. I mean, this guy will be on the road for like almost 3 weeks from Texas to Yellowstone and back and he will tell me how much he spent for the whole trip and I am amazed. I think people should try and go out and explore. No matter your budget what you drive. Tailor it to your comfort and go out and have fun. Whether in a bicycle, a motorcycle, a Honda Civic, a Jeep or a Sprinter. Whatever you own, make the best if it snd go out and explore. Life is truly short and you have only 1 life to live.
Love this journey. You’ve been to a lot of places being that I’ve lived in Alaska 27 yrs you’ve pretty much concurred more Northern Territory than I, I usually stay to the kenai and anchorage , you’ve certainly showed me I need to get my butt out there and roam this great state. Thanks for the adventures and again cause I had 2 daughters, there grown now, I adore your little one reminds me of mine when I used to take her fishing with me
My wife and I drove across the Denali Highway September 9 & 10, 2018. We stayed one night at The Maclaren River Lodge. A great place with wonderful food. We had two beautiful days with total sunshine, no clouds, the amazing snow capped Alaska Range to the north of us and at the Cantwell end, the majestic Mt Denali standing proud and tall.
I have a favorite camping spot off the Denali Highway that I've been going to for over forty years. Man many years ago I took that same road to the mine in a 1974 F-100 4x4. Didn't get stuck but there were some hairy moments. We sorta stuck our necks out a little too. Nice video, and you're right. It's spectacular in sunny weather. Last August I camped at Clearwater Creek and that night, watched one of the best northern light shows that i've seen in a long time
Great video guys. Cooling leaks - in cool weather you can leave the rad cap open so the system does not pressurize and add clean water as necessary to keep adequate level in the system. Patch the area with epoxy (JB) or bubble gum or whatever ya got to slow fluid loss.
Well played at the end. Travelled that Denali Hwy in August 2017, but never went venturing that far off, despite 4x4 capabilities. Many, many hunters when we were there and all obvious camps were taken.
We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the Denali Highway We drove a 1994 F250 longbed 4x4 with a Nash 24.5N 5th wheel. We had one drawer come apart that is about it. So beautiful up there. Maclaren Summit area was breathe taking. We boon docked. The blueberries were oh so tasty too.
Just fantastic! The water crossings are what I think are the most fun out of all the different aspects of off roading. :-) It's so gorgeous up there.... I can't wait to go! Music was, indeed, on point. Caroline's antics were cute as ever too. Too bad she still hasn't caught a fish. :-( Next time, I can feel it!
Oh boy! I Suspect you will make it but I could not sleep listening to the rain on the tent. I grew up on the Hoh river. The cow and calf shots special. Those critters scare me. This is lovely stuff. Almost beauty and the beast between all the beautiful nature and then Mother nature.
Very nice wilderness, it’s always great to see the routine for setting up camp. There may be some space available in the trailer, for an inflatable boat. Watch out for wild animals, have fun
I thought it was one of the Denali videos but can’t find it - the one where you guys were camping in a park somewhere and there was a wild dog living in the bush that a park ranger was working with slowly and it ended up getting re-homed - do you remember which video that was ? I want to show my kids Great videos too champ, keep it up all the way from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 😉👍👍👍
Have 5 trips to AK. Last 4 in rental RV after realizing what I could control and see when I was the "BOSS!" Hope to go again next year if I don't run out of time - am approaching 84.
AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS! HOPE THE STREAMS DON'T GET TO HIGH WITH ALL THE RAIN. WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE WATER LEVEL GOT LOWER SO YOU COULD GET BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE. DO YOU HAVE SOME OARS JUST IN CASE? BE SAFE! HAVE FUN! GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS! ENJOYED!
Great episode, you really need to watch rising water huh:D Here in Australia rain can raise the water levels by meters in half an hour. thanks for sharing:D
22:46 "To Be Continued" Me: "OH YOU JERK!!!" (I mean "jerk" in the most respectful loving way.) And Wednesday I'm going to be watching Patreon ALL DAY.
You should have tried Windy Cr and Valdez Cr for fishing instead of just driving through them. Cabin with the blue tarp is the original post office of Denali. Almost all other building were destroyed
Enjoyed every episode.... but I would like to recommend one thing.... show a map with ur starting point and end point before you start the journey in the video. That will give a fair idea to the viewer where your heading.

Thanks, will do!
It is great to see a child with a fishing pole in their hand instead of a smart phone 🤗
You’re very brave to make those trips, but that’s why I like them.
Beautiful....I camped at the Tangle Lakes campground for a few days and drove the road in the summer of 2007. Fortunately not crowded and no flooding!
Thanks for watching!
Another stunning video as always, love the soundtrack.
Thanks, Jason!
Wonderful views! Great music! Fantastic Vlog guys🤘stay safe, see you soon.
Glad you made it through all that rain!
Gosh, that scenery is amazing! I wish I could have gone there
All of Alaska really is incredible!
you guys do a nice job with the music and photography
Water, water everywhere. I hope you made it through safely.
We're still kickin' ;)

I can not end the video without giving you a Toms Up 👍🏼
Yeah I get distracted by cookies too. Yikes that water crossing looks crazy. This reminds me to get diff breathers for my 4runner.
Hmmmm, that looks more like a river than a road, lol. I guess I'll have to keep watching to see whether the water kept rising.
My friend enjoys watching your travels a lot..
Greetings from Oman🇴🇲
