Let me save you a comment. The answer is NO, I will not stop making hilarious songs for my videos. Soundtrack available to download at www.patreon.com/thestorytillnow for those of you with a sense of humor. 😂
Too funny that was your first comment ! hehehe After watching a few vids I was saying to myself I love these little custom diddy songs you added and came to the comments to say that...... Keep it up ! ......be stuck in my head now....... ".....overland ranch now , overland ranch now.....they got no horses....just under the hood....." hehehe
This channel is RAPIDLY becoming one of my favorites. Great job and maybe I'll see you on a random trail in the future. The Arctic adventure series was awesome.
Hi Shaun, all you guys, you have to consider yourself so lucky because here in Italy, we don’t have some places like that!Amazing👊🏼 Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Awesome video as always Shaun. The XO ranch is definitely a place I’m going to visit in the future. And the new Trailhunter Toyota Tacoma is such an awesome overland rig.
Shaun, was really great to meet you at the XOverland Ranch and I love the music you made for this video. If you noticed my calf I am sure you could tell I was a Toyota guy. 😆
The reason they don’t run bigger tires is because of the limits of Toyota’s suspension geometry and Toyota doesn’t want them to cut fenders. how many mountains have they climbed towing their patriot trailers? That 33” tire speech annoyed me.
Don't know if any of you two ever watched any of XOverlands videos, but they've been all over the world offroad. Just saying, look them up and you'll get a better understanding of what they're about.
The statement that wheeling rigs with smaller tires shows that you have more skill was what I had issue with. Driving around the world on bad roads doesn’t make you a more skilled wheeler. What they do takes skills but they are different skills. Driving up mountains on deactivated forest services road with large washouts takes a lot of wheeling skill. Larger tires are often required to drive through steep washouts.
I drive a lot or customer Tacomas at work. You getting into the Tacoma is exactly my experience every single time! Why the heck are they so awkward. Once you’re in and settled it’s fine but it’s so different getting into than any other vehicle I always bang my knees or head, sometimes both
Great video! (minus that ‘Taco Time’ song which was pretty painful) I had TRD Offroad Taco, which was pretty capable on the trails. Good to see that Toyota has made some much needed improvements.
@@TheStoryTillNow Pretty thrilled with it, though it needs at least 35s and smaller wheels. Getting some stuff together so I can go bash the skids on it a bit and camp out if the thing.
Love how polarizing the tunes are 😂 "we don't ride horses, we only have the ones under the hood" Is gold -don't listen to them, I'm un-ronically into it. Listening to "coffee" on Soundcloud right now!
Almost went there too... but I had too much going on that weekend to go. I'm in Montana and can testify that the bugs get worse as the hoppers get bigger and August brings everthing out, only in grown up sizes! LOL! Its crazy how fast the windsheild gets covered here. 15 miles past the gas stop and you are looking through slime and legs and wings... we carry an extra gallon of windshield cleaner on most trips.
It's amazing and awesome how you guys are all connected in some way or form. But here's my thing about Toyota. The vehicle is known and used throughout the world. How is it that Overland Expedition could not find a AC Condenser in the hottest continent in the world
Looks like a nice event for you. Nothing too heavy, and you were allowed to camp in the vender section. 👍👍 Wonder if Dirt Garage is downloading the Taco Time soundtrack for the next campout ? 😂 🌲🤙
They sound like gas powered leaf blowers. Hilarious how techy off-roading has become in just a few short years. A 20 year old sequoia could do that much quicker with its antiquated Atrac and no lockers. Next they’ll add a setting for pebbles, rock type, wind direction, etc. it’s getting a little out of hand. Wheeling isn’t that complicated. That’s why most of us do it. For fun. 😊
While crossing the Prairie Provinces last summer and videoing I got chewed on for not cleaning the bugs off enough. I was carrying lots of washer fluid I just got used to seeing everything through bug guts!
I'm a little unsure how to say it diplomatically, because I love your films and I wouldn't want you to take it the wrong way. You have a brilliant eye for shots, you tell stories beautifully, and your drone flying skills are just brilliant, but.... It's the AI generated music that is simply a nightmare. There is just great music. People donate their time and engage talent to compose beautiful sounds that complement the message you have to convey. And these “mumbling” sounds and idle lyrics completely don't fit here. Of course, this is just my personal opinion and don't take it too personally.
I'm with ya... Yeah I'm conflicted, figure creators should be supporting other creators... Using AI on this aspect of the content doesn't sit right somehow...
as a creator, I can personally say, paying an artist to write custom lyrics and compose the song, is wildly expensive. Like on the low end it's about $500 USD, on the high end it can be a few thousand dollars. Shaun added 2 or 3 custom AI generated songs. Probably cost him the subscription price of the AI model he's using, otherwise it would likely cost him around $6000, which isn't sustainable for anyone as a content creator. I don't think he was expecting anyone to take the music seriously.
Sure for original compositions, but noone is suggesting that... There are several services that provide music from creators for use in this sort of context, and they are usually not prohibitively expensive and provide income for creators... I believe he has used these services in the past, always to great effect. Using the AI models provides nothing of support to the creative community at large, worse there are many questions about the ethics or the training of many of these models.
@@JaredBusch for me those song suck. He is putting so much effort in shooting and editing those epic videos and slaps something that for me is lacking quality. It’s like restoring the car interior to the perfection and painting it with a brush. I don’t want Shaun to get me wrong. A absolutely love his videos, just don’t like this new AI trend.
@@classic.cherokee this... All other aspects are of such high quality, always are and that usually includes the soundtrack selection... But this generic AI stuff is incongruous... Figure you're doing a service here speaking up...
Sometimes these computers channel all of the torque to only one wheel and break stuff. Not what I would call mechanical sympathy. (See TFL’s Tacoma) In the old days you would just turn your steering wheel back and forth to reallocate torque to different wheels.
Beautiful trucks. Toyota should have never moved away from the tried and true motors they once had. Heard nothing but bad things about the new engines in the tacoma and tundra
@@Spack005 They have not, they've barely begun to send out recall notices. My dad has a 2023 Tundra manufactured in Jan 2023 so it's inside the recall window, he hasn't gotten a recall notice mailed to him yet. Toyota is dragging their feet on this.
I don’t think you can compare this type of offroading with what Jeeps can do. As cool as some of the features are, this vehicle would struggle on many Jeep trails. I say it’s 2 seperate world.
It looks like they did a pretty good job of putting together an out-of-the-box experience. I'm still gonna prefer built over bought, but it seems capable enough. Seating positions still look atrocious. lol - a Tacoma guy.
Tbh I love the new seating position..I am shorter then most ppl. But I have had multiple back surgeries and I find my 24 a lot more comfy to drive then my 18
Shaun, super important question here mate.... at 13:30, that Land Cruiser sounds like a diesel. Can you confirm if that is true? And if yes, do you have any insight as to whether they will be offering this drive train for North America? That to me is a huge game changer if yes in buying one. I sure hope the answer is yes to both. Keep on rockn it out Brother! Thanks!
I bought a Tacoma trd off-road and I’ve noticed it also sounds like a diesel because of the new turbos that this new generation has. But they are mostly just normal gas powered
Toyota was outclassed by general motors ZR2 platform now they've kicked it in high gear technology etc to thrust past general motors ZR2 platform I'd be interested to see what the fully loaded price is for one of those??
Kind of boring tbh. There new off-road vehicles just coasting through the coarse. Let's see an old school drive through, hell, throw in a 2wd truck to make it real interesting 😂😂😂
Let me save you a comment. The answer is NO, I will not stop making hilarious songs for my videos. Soundtrack available to download at www.patreon.com/thestorytillnow for those of you with a sense of humor. 😂
Made me laugh and check the comments. First time watching. Definitely better than the generic muzak everyone else uses
Who’s mixing’ all these custom tracks? AI? 🤖
Waiting for the Tour dates.......
Too funny that was your first comment ! hehehe After watching a few vids I was saying to myself I love these little custom diddy songs you added and came to the comments to say that...... Keep it up !
......be stuck in my head now....... ".....overland ranch now , overland ranch now.....they got no horses....just under the hood....." hehehe
Dude the song of waiting on the ferry is way funny ❤❤
Thank you so much for coming out, Shaun! Can't wait to cross paths again soon.
Love your stuff regardless, but as a Toyota guy, it was cool seeingToyota get some love on your channel. Neat to see the 24 in action!
The song, "Oh baby its Taco Time" is the greatest thing I've ever heard.
This channel is RAPIDLY becoming one of my favorites. Great job and maybe I'll see you on a random trail in the future. The Arctic adventure series was awesome.
The Toyota themed music had me cheesing out multiple times. For this video it fit perfectly. Felt goofy and fun
Loved the song. It’s not a Jeep. It’s a Tacoma. It’s taco time! 😂😂
I really like the way the new land cruiser looks lifted. I’m intrigued to see how durable they are.
Thank you Shaun Really enjoyed this episode
Hi Shaun,
all you guys, you have to consider yourself so lucky because here in Italy, we don’t have some places like that!Amazing👊🏼
Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
What a great experience meeting up with the X team and others there, awesome property and facilities. Love the music too, I find it hilarious.
Awesome video as always Shaun. The XO ranch is definitely a place I’m going to visit in the future. And the new Trailhunter Toyota Tacoma is such an awesome overland rig.
21:02 the Tacoma music is hilarious. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hope I never hear it again. 😆
soooo bad ;)
Agreed
Thanks for the heads up lol
Was just opening this up to check the comments. Haha this AI music is trash! Funny but also so bad.
Its not a Jeep , Its a TACOMA .....Taco Time 🎵🎶🎼
Shaun, was really great to meet you at the XOverland Ranch and I love the music you made for this video. If you noticed my calf I am sure you could tell I was a Toyota guy. 😆
I rock crawl with 33’’. It’s more challenging and less comfortable in holders but it works. Than you it the road and you’re happy with the mileage.
Shaun is probably better then all of them at wheeling and there telling him what to do 😂
The reason they don’t run bigger tires is because of the limits of Toyota’s suspension geometry and Toyota doesn’t want them to cut fenders. how many mountains have they climbed towing their patriot trailers? That 33” tire speech annoyed me.
Don't know if any of you two ever watched any of XOverlands videos, but they've been all over the world offroad. Just saying, look them up and you'll get a better understanding of what they're about.
Yes I have seen some of their travel videos.
The statement that wheeling rigs with smaller tires shows that you have more skill was what I had issue with. Driving around the world on bad roads doesn’t make you a more skilled wheeler. What they do takes skills but they are different skills. Driving up mountains on deactivated forest services road with large washouts takes a lot of wheeling skill. Larger tires are often required to drive through steep washouts.
I’m not one to turn down a spotter for my own ego. Especially when it’s not my truck to break if I make a mistake.
I agree about the bugs! Salt flats of Utah close second! You’re my favorite off road channel bravo! More trail destroyer please!❤
Nice to see you at the ranch!! :-) I had a blast driving the trailhunter through the offroad course!
Absolutely amazing time. Great experience, I can't wait to go back. That music is awesome(ly horrendous)
Gotta say ... with regular on road tires pretty amazing !!
Is that all original AI music in this video? Lol some of the lyrics are hilarious. Great vid as always. The ranch is a cool idea.
That ranch looks awesome, I want to come next time. I personally enjoyed seeing a little Toyota action on the channel.
The Land Cruiser and Trail Hunter are Awesome and Nice looking Off Road Vehicles
Love the soundtrack Shaun. I can't wait for my Trailhunter to get here.
Good video Shaun. Keep up the good work!
So cool you got to see the opening day at X Overland Ranch! and I'm loving these AI songs haha
Thank you for your Taco video. It was fun to see someone who drives a Jeep getting a different perspective.
I drive a lot or customer Tacomas at work. You getting into the Tacoma is exactly my experience every single time! Why the heck are they so awkward. Once you’re in and settled it’s fine but it’s so different getting into than any other vehicle I always bang my knees or head, sometimes both
Great video!
(minus that ‘Taco Time’ song which was pretty painful)
I had TRD Offroad Taco, which was pretty capable on the trails. Good to see that Toyota has made some much needed improvements.
Hi Shaun, why not take a Jeep CJ7 on one of your trips and see how it goes? Cheers. Ian
Freaking taco time song has me cracked up.
Hey Shaun - I met you at the KC HiLites grand opening happy hour during Expo West in AZ. Really enjoy your content.
The music kills me 😂
Seeing you get a video of this thing offroad before me confuses me, since I’ve owned one for like 3 weeks 😂
Yeah I kept saying Independence Overland already has his!
Nice! How do you like it? It seems like a pretty cool truck.
@@TheStoryTillNow Pretty thrilled with it, though it needs at least 35s and smaller wheels. Getting some stuff together so I can go bash the skids on it a bit and camp out if the thing.
Awesome! We should get out together.
What a Beautiful Ranch
Thank you to the Owners of this amazing ranch
It's great what lots of $'s can build 😅 Great place for venues. I see an Overland Expo in their future.
Love how polarizing the tunes are 😂 "we don't ride horses, we only have the ones under the hood" Is gold -don't listen to them, I'm un-ronically into it. Listening to "coffee" on Soundcloud right now!
Great video as always, Cool truck, awesome place.
Not sure I like the crawl control feature. I like figuring it out for myself.
Exactly...if the vehicle just does it for you, how have you accomplished anything?
My Trailhunter is a 2005 JEEP TJ RENEGADE. :)
Almost went there too... but I had too much going on that weekend to go. I'm in Montana and can testify that the bugs get worse as the hoppers get bigger and August brings everthing out, only in grown up sizes! LOL! Its crazy how fast the windsheild gets covered here. 15 miles past the gas stop and you are looking through slime and legs and wings... we carry an extra gallon of windshield cleaner on most trips.
Clay must be rolling in dough. Congrats for him.
It's amazing and awesome how you guys are all connected in some way or form. But here's my thing about Toyota. The vehicle is known and used throughout the world. How is it that Overland Expedition could not find a AC Condenser in the hottest continent in the world
Xpverland Alaska series was epic.
Looks like a nice event for you. Nothing too heavy, and you were allowed to camp in the vender section. 👍👍 Wonder if Dirt Garage is downloading the Taco Time soundtrack for the next campout ? 😂 🌲🤙

Where did you get those tunes?lol those were great! Looks like a cool place to visit
Good news. Toyota tocoma 2025 is bringing back the V 6 engine
While crossing the Prairie Provinces last summer and videoing I got chewed on for not cleaning the bugs off enough. I was carrying lots of washer fluid I just got used to seeing everything through bug guts!
"it's taco time! Taco time!". I'm loving these soundtracks recently
The Trailhunter has 18 inch funky wheels and the tires are a low grade Goodyear AT. No wonder you got stuck.
Based on the truck's performance on those pretty tame rocks, I wouldn't go trading in your Jeep any time soon.
This could be in competition to the Merus Adventure park in Texas! Maybe better...
It's Taco time! Love it!
Dude! Great video! but where can we hear that X Overland Ranch song!??? Oh wait, Taco time?? another one? is this a whole playlist?
They'll be available on my Patreon group for paid members this afternoon.
Love the songs 😂

did you get a new camera stabilizer?
The selfie shots are much smoother and less bouncy. 👌
Your videos are so freaking good.
I didn't think it would.... would of been embarrassing for Toyota knowing that they chose the trail.😉
Love the tunes.
Hey Shaun. Wondering what brand of rock sliders you're running on the Trail Destoyer?
I remember when 33 tires were BIG tires 😳 now are standard on most trucks these days.
I just dated myself 😮
Sometimes these computers channel all of the torque to only one wheel and break stuff. Not what I would call mechanical sympathy. (See TFL’s Tacoma)

Beautiful trucks. Toyota should have never moved away from the tried and true motors they once had. Heard nothing but bad things about the new engines in the tacoma and tundra
I forgot what the cause was, but they’ve fixed it at the factory. They’ve. Issued a recall for every vehicle with that motor.
@Spack005 They replaced the entire engine. It was due to debris left in the engine during manufacturing & machining.
@@Spack005 They have not, they've barely begun to send out recall notices. My dad has a 2023 Tundra manufactured in Jan 2023 so it's inside the recall window, he hasn't gotten a recall notice mailed to him yet. Toyota is dragging their feet on this.
0:52 have you even been to central FL on Turnpike? Bugs for days
Yes the trail hunters are just hitting lots , saw one in kelowna a few weeks ago come off the truck
That taco trail hunter is nice.
Shaun let’s see you take the new Land Cruiser out
Love bug season in the south is a pretty bad bug splatter experience
I don’t think you can compare this type of offroading with what Jeeps can do. As cool as some of the features are, this vehicle would struggle on many Jeep trails. I say it’s 2 seperate world.
I love the new addition to what I assume is AI created music.
Very cool looking pick up though
Is that the 4cyl hybrid
Did the front seat touch the back seat when you had to move it to get in 😂
LOL, ALL the haters in the comments. Shaun can do whatever he wants people! Creative Freedom.
I went to Spotify searching “Oh baby it’s Taco Time” 😭😭
It looks like they did a pretty good job of putting together an out-of-the-box experience.
I'm still gonna prefer built over bought, but it seems capable enough. Seating positions still look atrocious. lol
- a Tacoma guy.
Tbh I love the new seating position..I am shorter then most ppl. But I have had multiple back surgeries and I find my 24 a lot more comfy to drive then my 18
😢 Be careful the saying is true toyota going places Jeep when you want to come back...👍💪
Nice looking truck but I like to go off roading to get away from computers not have a 4cy truck drive for me. I’ll stick with my V6 analog.
Hopefully it doesn’t break down before you get it stuck! 😂
My home state montana now living in idaho

Oh baby it's Taco Time 😂

$60k+
Better hope it doesn't get stuck .plastic doesn't do well during recovery
Like crawl control is new? ....Our Gladiators have the same tech ... it's the little "Ducky" button.
Really trying to sell it there at @18:00 anybody who wheels knows all mechanical is better than electronics and computers.
Did AI write this taco time music? It's great 😅
If they had a 24 ZR2 Bison there...
Kind of boring tbh. There new off-road vehicles just coasting through the coarse. Let's see an old school drive through, hell, throw in a 2wd truck to make it real interesting 😂😂😂
Takes away the fun of you doing the work on a trail.
This was great, nice to see a more raw offroad review of the Trailhunter. Those tires were surprisingly good despite being glorified road tires.
Laughed so hard with all the AI music. Now that I definitely like so much more than the voiceover!
Almost didn't watch this video because it had a Tacoma. So glad we did. So great to see X Overland Ranch. Was that in the title, and I missed it?
I'm glad to see there's hope for me after all with my 33" 😂

This new Tacoma needs a solid axle swap. ( 1985 Toyota Pickup axle swap,maybe?) IFS is evil in pickups.
Wow. Toyota are finally using the technology that Range Rover had 5 years ago. But were is RR now?
Should have just let you do your own lines lol
I LOVE Taco Time! It's not a Jeep...
