  • Embark on an unforgettable journey as I live on the road in my 4Runner, exploring the beauty of the American West. In this video, I’ve combined all the highlights from my road trip as I travel down to Colorado to capture the breathtaking fall foliage, taking scenic detours through Oregon, Idaho, and Utah along the way.
    From the essentials of daily life-cooking meals out of my rooftop tent, finding campsites with a view, tackling laundry on the go, and adapting to the realities of life without a permanent bathroom-this video gives you an inside look at the highs and challenges of overlanding. Watch as I share my favorite campsites, capture stunning landscapes, and document the freedom of living out of my 4Runner for weeks on end.
    If you’re passionate about overlanding, fall camping, or just want to know what it’s like to live life on the road, don’t miss this full-length journey. Remember to like, comment, and subscribe for more overland adventures, travel tips, and behind-the-scenes stories from my road life!

    I've really enjoyed this watching this. I'm jealous of the freedom that you've got to be able to go out and do this. The strength to do it alone and the beauty that you get to see. I was born in that area but left before I was old enough to even understand life. So thank you for this little tour and I hope to maybe do the same thing at some point.

    I travel, live in either my 4Runner orTundra a few weeks out of the year. I do return home to my house and wife and sometimes she comes along. Nothing like a home that doesn’t have wheels😂

    Just stumblee onto your channel. Very cool living the dream. If i could afford this life i would. Id quit Boeing in a heart beat. But id live off my bike, not in a vehicle. Just dont see how one can make it work unless you have tons of money. I get youtube pays if you have enough subs and likes and views. I just sit and watch parts for planes no one works on right now. So while i may have the easiest job at the whole Boeing company, i would give it all up to just live off my bike. In fact thats the plan when I retire is to live off my bike for at least 2 years. Drove semi truck for 11 year across this country. I know all the nice spots. Nice to see a local dude making it happen. As i am up in Lake Stevens. Well have fun out their living the dream of many of us. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along.

      Thanks man! I used to work at FedEx loading up 777s so I know what it's like to have some downtime and hang out on the plane. Same here, I would love to quit my 9-5 and just do UA-cam lol

    Just did an assignment out that way in Olympia and Seattle a few months ago. Took my trd pro 4Runner out, but didn’t do any wheeling. But Beautiful area. Gotta ask what drawer system did you use? Goose gear? Love the set up and hope life on the road is treating you well.

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  2 місяці тому

      Appreciate it! The drawer is from solid wood worx. I bought it precut and built it out. A fun a little DIY project. I may look to upgrade though. I messed up a little bit when putting in the drawer sliders

    Amazing locations. What are the best resources to find these dispersed locations? I own a sprinter ekko and would love to hit a bunch of these places
    Having trouble finding resources.
    Yellowstone is 100% on our list.
    Thanks for sharing and any insight on how you find your destinations would be much appreciated
    Onward and wishing you safe future journeys

    So many questions dude. Do you live near the area that you can have USPS hold your packages at your home mail facility so to speak, or can you have packages shipped anywhere and have that particular USPS facility hold them. I ask because I've wondered about exactly the type of situation you seem to be in, meaning no fixed address, how do you have stuff sent to you, ecommerce seeming the be the preferred way to shop most of the time?
    Also, dudeski, super impressed with your camera work / editing. Have you taken classes on this subject or you're just naturally gifted? I'd be interested to hear. I wish more people had your skill. Usually don't see this level of goodness until channels get much bigger

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  2 місяці тому +1

      I actually use a friends address to reroute my personal mail to but I could set up a mailbox at usps for a monthly payment. I normally don't care about mail unless it's a shipment or package. For packages I ask whoever the shipper is to make the package available for pickup. It's usually called Hold at Location. When getting things shipped I use the address that I will pick it up at the. I somewhat go over it at the 2:06:00 mark

      damn with 2 extra shots lol
      My friend (used to work at dutch) said they call it a niner internally so if you ask for a "niner" they may think you work there and give a discount lol

    Very inspiring! From Everett and building out a rig for some adventures as well. Do you have the alternator charger for the ecoflow? I just picked up the delta 2 and saw it's recommended to have a high output alternator for the charger. Also what laptop do you use for on the road edits? Thanks! 🙏

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  2 місяці тому

      The laptop mount I use is this amzn.to/476ByUY
      I do have the alternator charger! Works great but the app could use a lot more work. It disconnects sometimes and doesn't reconnect unless you restart the device which is somewhat of a hassle when driving.

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo  2 місяці тому

      Thanks! I believe that is the front runner table. If I recall correctly we were talking about how expensive it is and Jacob (in the video) was showing us why lol

    • @tim.muangkeo

      Ram promaster or the Mercedes sprinters. Probably go with the promaster though. It’s cheaper and easier to work on
