SOLO Winter Desert SUV Camping in my GX470 - Alabama Hills

Here's my very first camping trip with my NEWLY built Drawer System + New Tri Fold Mattress in my GX470 SUV! I spent a night in Alabama Hills (Lone Pine, CA) after the huge SoCal Blizzard hit. Alabama Hills is by far one of the best spots for dispersed camping! This is probably one of the craziest winters we seen in California. To add a little twist my car keys SNAPPED OFF white I was SUV camping with ZERO cell reception. This one is definitely going in the books of one of my favorite winter camping experiences.

Glad you got your key fixed and you didn't have to cancel your trip. All the weather here in California recently is definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

[@Cbmk18]

The classic Lexus keyfob snap. Happened to me and my daughter leaving a restaurant. Was freaking out until I realized I had to put the sensor up to it to start. Got another from Amazon

[@OverlandRay]

I didn't know it was a thing but now I do LOL.

[@TechCollective]

I definitely have to try that hot pot! Also love your drawer system!

[@Suitswonderland]

The transition getting into the car was what got the like and sub from me, really well done.

[@OverlandRay]

Thank you! That’s the type of film making that I’m really into. Will be doing more of that in the future aha.

[@leemasterson6812]

12:33 I live in Wyoming so I see the winter wonderland all the time, I like the mattress, keep these great videos coming I’m right with you on the refurbish of my gx470 . Thanks Lee

[@saveer_gaming9755]

Wow, besides the key breaking I can tell you got a lot of use from that drawer system you built yourself. Dope trip, I need to get out there before all the snow melts.

[@OSCOCAT]

I love the grill you put in your GX. Mind if I ask where you got it?

[@veraluna5856]

An interesting adventure with the awesome GX. Keep em coming.

[@gripzer0166]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Kool content dude, I haven’t had time to mod my gx470. The outdoors is where it’s at, ✌🏾🤙🏾

[@_1mik3_32]

I recently got that YOTAMD key fob housing & its one of my fav upgrades for obvious reasons

[@MaxSpeedMike]

My key was already broken when i bought my GX. Common issue on these. The plastic gets brittle after so many years. Better to get an upgraded housing for around $40 online. They have some rugged looking fobs that look cool and match the GX overland/offroad look.

[@JohnSmith-ji1hl]

i thought i was the best meal you've ever had

[@tuauto00]

Nothing beats hotpot in the wild on snow. I do solo camping alot too and sometimes it's boring. Hit me up on your next camping trip in socal so I can join you.

[@michaelchernobelsky4232]

[@realrigsrattle8829]

Which size mattress did you go with? Setup looks nice!

[@edc_menace28]

my Silverado is 2 WD you think ill be okay ? I plan on going up this week !! amazing video !!!!

[@OverlandRay]

Yea I think you will be okay. The snow on the trails (2/3 of the main trail) should be melted by now. I'm not sure about the last 1/3 of the trail. If you're trying to finish the trail you can just drive up n if there's too much snow just turn around. All the nice camp spots are on the first 1/3 of the trail.
