The finale feels like the show only lasted for a week. How fast time flies by when you watch a series you love!
True very true 🙂👍
Even made my summer go by fast 😒
These bots are crazy
My god are there so many bots
Totally agree bro
so true
The fact that this is a UA-cam channel is insane. Motortrend wishes they could be within spitting distance of the chemistry of the crew and the quality of the content. Props
👏
Spiritually, its the closest I've seen to peak Top Gear. Just unreal chemistry and passion for what they do.
Yep. That’s the difference between a production team who is there for a job and one that truly has a passion for this.
Yes, the chemistry is top, the crew is def a keeper. Top gear vibes for sure. Can't replicate this.
Constantly blown away by what this channel has become
26:04 lets just say that was a jaw dropping experience for the truck
huh? how come this comment has very few likes
@@Someone-um6hi The joke was too late on the video
James says the spotter is responsible for the truck and where it's going, but who has to make the truck go where the spotter is telling you to go, zach said stop three times before james did, so it's his fault not Zachs.
Did the winch still need to be hooked at that point! I think not!
@@Shardthackeray4562 Human reaction time is not that good, zach had to realize something was happening, begin alerting james, and then james had to realize what he was saying and apply his request. It happened so fast they really couldnt do much at that point
I've always been more interested in street cars but this was actually a lot cooler than I thought it would be. Best car series on YT.
It is really fun to make a vehicle go where it shouldn't be able to just like making them go faster then they were meant to go.
I agree too. I'm really enjoying the show.
Off-roading is an acquired taste sometimes, if you’ve never been it can be difficult to understand the enjoyment in it, but boy is it a blast, especially with buddies
Even if you dont try to see how far you can push your rig, just get out there and see what God created for you.
This is for us truck buying overlanders. Get out of here you blasphemous Corolla owner! GET GOING!!!😡
This is easily the best series
Money pit Master race
Stfu bots
I love that they did an overland build.
Facts
Nah, money pit is best
Honestly love the fact you guys didn't hide away the chirpiness between everybody at times. When you're out on a trip / adventure like that, nobody really knows what they're doing, and everybody is stressed out, people argue. But it strengthens the bond. That's real.
It's funny when you have a group that's gone out together dozens of times and you have one new person in shock when the "fights" begin.
For sure. That's what makes that video so great. It's so real :)
@@MomJeans2 it’s fun when you have a group of ppl that….. don’t fight.
Look at dirt every day.
Anti fighters. Try to fight Fred you’ll just make him laugh
@@fastinradfordableI half agree. I think it would have done them some good to take a second and breathe, arguing only adds to the stress. But I completely understand it, and in the moment you don't really think rationally like that
Gotta give props to Aaron, stayed positive in such high pressure situation, encouraged Nolan and got them throuhg that last bit without a winch.
He did extremely well and handled it better than I would have. Especially since the main critic was someone who just successfully tore a bumper off High Truck.
Nolan and Aaron got a lot better and the spotter/driver combo through this series. Really impressive.
That front bumper "malfunction" is probably the best trail fail I have ever witnessed. Bravo
Another more time
The thing folded like a tailgate
did we watch the same thing? they hooked the winch to a loop in the rock. And drove over the mounting point, then did not stop pulling with the winch. 100% user error.
@@chas8008 he doesn’t mean it’s the trails fault. He means it’s a fail that happened on the trail
@@chas8008 that's probably why he put the word malfunction in quotations. Read between the lines
The real hero of this season of HiLow is Teddy Roosevelt.
Wow lonely sandwich i didn't know you were a car guy

Always remember when you're out there playing on our public lands, treat them with respect so we can all enjoy them for many more years to come.

@@1PotatoeMasher1 top 3
this video is so far beyond youtube quality. thank you donut
Ha
As a person who grew up doing stuff like this, despite wanting to yell at you guys sometimes, I very much appreciate the attention you have brought to 4Wheeling. A lot of people think it's just a bunch of guys tearing up and destroying public areas when in reality, it's a community that all works together to ensure the fun and safety of everyone involved. I know this is an older video and there have been a few off-road oriented videos since this came out, but I hope to see even more in the future. Thank you Donut for being the awesome group of people that you are!
Funny how that works and it happens time after time. Usually the haters are the ones with the bad entitled mean attitudes.
Uh I'd make the argument that you described crawling, or trail riding. And yes they are a much more laid-back group... But quite a few of those mudding guys fit that exact stereotype you want to avoid.
I love the fact they kept the argument part in. Shows this is actually real and not just scripted
You could tell everyone was a little prickly by the end haha
@@netconner lol yep, hard to avoid getting a bit tilted when you're off roading
I gotta give it to low team tho they killed that hill
Well if I was stuck with 3 smelly guys that haven't showered in days. I would be a bit grumpy too.
That is exactly how riding the trail is. 5 people yelling at you and you just wanna send it.
OKAY, hear me out. This trip you guys took has very strong "Top Gear: Special" Vibes.
I think I speak for the entirety of youtube here, in that we NEED MORE OF THIS TYPE OF CONTENT. What you guys are doing is great, but extended travel specials in different vehicles would be an excellent addition to an already amazing program.
Thanks Donut!
I second this 💯
Third
Yesss
10000% Agree. TAKE NOTES DONUT
this needs more likes
Aaron is such an amazing spotter. From the buff horseshoe to this off-roading trail, he dragged low truck over the worst of obstacles.
Yup and now hes fired from High Low show. Fuck donut media ever since they got bought up
Aaron is so underrated. He must be a great friend. Anytime Nolan gets close to the edge, Aaron reels him back in with patience and positivity. It's such a valuable skill.
Dude Aaron is such a good teammate and knows what he’s actually doing.
Ikr, dude knows his stuff. I could feel a whole bunch of testosterone butting heads. Lots of passive aggression lol
@jimjason5146 My guess is when you are that deep into a trip, especially if you are working ("working") you start to be a bit of an a-hole just for pure tiredness and not intentionally doing it
@@lautaroteruelo9923 yea for sure. Happens to everybody. I can't be with my family for more than a couple days without arguing lol.
This is like Top Gear from old times... Back when Clarkson, May and Hammond were twatting around the countryside. Can't wait for the next one!
Twatting indeed!
I completely agree
with a bit less banter
Except the top gear guys hardly ever got bitchy like these guys did
Except none of the Donut guys are racist rapists, so that's a bonus.
aaron seemed like the only one keeping his head on straight , everyone was freaking out lol
For real. Aaron definitely kept his cool while he was under a lot of stress. Strong man right there
I think it's because he's the only one with experience. Everyone else are novices
I think if it's the same guy Aaron was one of the drivers on Netflix Hyperdrive and drove the kickass rx7.
Experience>
My guy is pro drifter, work/sponsored with nrg, experience, etc. he’s done and seen it all
Love Aaron's enthusiasm after the creek crossing at 18:17😄
I died when the bumper ripped off. Couldn’t stop laughing so hard. This is a well done series.
zame
I really like they showed them getting a little snippy with each other. Getting snippy and working through it still. Now that's how strong friendships are built.
Yeah I love it too. Cus it would be dumb to think that this happens wittout friends getting really pissed with eachother
Gives me top gear vibes yah know
yea no way they couldve gotten through that without hating eachother a little bit lol
@@scrub_lord it’s part of the experience 😂🤷♂️
@@KD6-3005 cvvvv,
26:46 I love that they kept the drone crashing in the edit.
Love how low key they are about it.
i could not believe that was real hahahaha
I didn’t even notice at first
This is the best Donut Media video, so many emotions, amazing subject, the edits were out of this world, I would pay to see another finale video like this
You do pay already, with your time and data
@@Turbo_TechnoLogic yes I do but there was never an video that donut made that actually rivaled this one, it's literally an perfect unicorn of an video
18:15 Aeron jumping after low car competed that obstacle made me laugh so hard for some reason
This feels like (and is as rewarding as) the old Top Gear special trip episodes.
@Upcycle Shoes Nooooooooooo. Top Gear UK. We don't speak of US Top Gear here.
Old Top Gear was something special, best show ever
@@tauraslau6274 absolutely!
And GT episodes
You can pull atleast two episodes
Huge lesson for all “overlanders.” WEIGHT MATTERS. The amount of times that people overlook this with overbuilt rigs is crazy… Amazing series!!!
@Tommy Gunn what ? 😐
@Tommy Gunn Tf you talking about.
@Tommy Gunn what the hell are you on about.
High truck needs the tundra brake upgrade and the trd supercharger with the Underdog Racing development 7th injector kit. I have that exact ARB front bumper on my 03 taco and have no idea how they brokeit like that. something wasn't bolted correctly. there are like 8 grade 8 bolts going to the frame.
@@shaunmilor tbh high truck needs a full methanol 500ci motor w/ a promod 86mm turbo to even consider itself streetable, its just irresponsible to run any less.
I'm not an off-roader type, but if you guys are doing it, then I'm checking it out. This was absolutely my favorite episode! It makes me want to explore going somewhere I wouldn't normally go and adventure a bit.
I loved seeing the honesty of friends getting annoyed with each other while working for the same goal. Kinda like a family...
This is life man, a group of people exploring the earth while exploring themselves. It's truly worth the time and money spent.
Aaron carrying so much of that caring big brother energy... I love it
The kind of friend everyone deserves.
Aaron is a saint. Give'um the big bro show, have him build cars with teens.
@@ryantylerthomas3316 hell yeah
I appreciate how they keep the spats/emotions/struggles with each other in the videos. It just shows they're real people and real friends. We have all dealt with these scenarios and it's good to keep it real for UA-cam.
I was thinking, this was probably one of the most sincere episodes I've seen from the crew. Lots of dealing with the situation at hand, tension, and perseverance. The payoff was tremendous to see they both made it, but not without it's fair share of struggle, which is completely relatable.
And yet not full of drama either. Just the right balance.
"If you ever wanna see the best in humanity, go to the side of a mountian."
Scar: **laughs**
I just got a “low truck” on Tuesday. Super excited. Will probably not do anything overland but nice to see it may be capable.
A hi-low series on a rally car build would be sick!
Money pit, aka mid-car, is doing that right now! It's awesome.
😍
i think the should do drag cars, like some 1990s/early 2000s muscle cars where they change stuff like tires, transmissions, engines, all that stuff
Race truck or comfortable van
vanlife?
The arguing is hella funny, I’ve never seen or heard zach sound even a little bit mad until this episode, James is the only one whose being cheerful during the climbing segment.
idk man James looked a lil shook in a few clips lol.
but yeah i don't think anyone was mad, that's just car guys being passionate. plus, if you never have a disagreement with any of your friends - then you probably don't have friends. lad they didn't cut it out.
@@ioiwut4874 yea it just sounded like frustration during a stressful time
@@ioiwut4874 yeah it's also just fucking scary if you think you might backslide or roll. You're in a huge several thousand pound hunk of metal on the side of a mountain. It's pretty high stakes and you can definitely understand getting mad if you think you have the way out and the other person doesn't agree
It's definitely the lack of oxygen at that altitude causing that. When I've been hiking at that altitude, even the best of friends will start getting short tempers with each other. When you're at that altitude you need to take 3 or 4 breaths to get the same amount of oxygen as just one at sea level. Add to that the steepness of the terrain and it can take a few minutes to walk just a few feet. It's a situation that can make even the coolest headed people frustrated, and in my experience it hits everyone a little differently. Major props to the guys for keeping themselves and their vehicles under control in those situations
@@ManiacMountainAir or maybe its just banter
that was fucking awesome, overcoming a true challenge with loved ones and friends is probably the greatest part of life. Well fucking done boys.
Just bought a Tacoma last month and this video has helped me so much on what I should get and how it makes a difference in your buying experience. I am so happy Donut has blown up as much as they have and the content and knowledge they bring to the table. Thank you guys for everything you do for us
I love how they show the arguing, makes it feel like we really are shown everything
Watching Jobe and Aaron argue felt like I was watching my parents argue. I wanted to cry and say can’t we all just get along!!!
@@kller324 honestly, it felt tense.
I mean people can have a disagreement. What matters is how you act after the situation is over. Do you let it affect your relationship or do you get over it and move on?
@@Mrstubbsthezombie exactly really shows the the strength of their relationship.
@@Mrstubbsthezombie the thing is, we never saw how it ended. Jobe gave a half-assed congrats, but i really hope both kept cool as theyre a great cast.
Aaron seems like he'd be a dope friend to have, all of them Donut boys do but we dont see that much of Aaron.
+1 here for Aaron’s vibes
🖐🏾 Hey thanks Bro 🤘🏾
@@aaronparker3559 Your spotting was on point! It was like watching an anime redemption arc with you and Nolan climbing Poughkeepsie!
@@aaronparker3559 You are my favorite host out of the Donut gang. I hope we see more of you in future series!
@@eltsoggangi7405 Skill and will beats fancy toys a lot of the time. At least low trucks budget bumper solution didn't get ripped off the truck lol.
Great content! I've been working on my Toyota 4runner for a few months now. I do upgrades when possible & usually stick to factory parts when just doing maintenance; but still have done upgrades when it was better than original! Overall the build is very stout! Thank you all!
I recently got gifted a 2003 Ford Explorer v8 4x4, I know it's not the ideal TRUCK. But I definitely want to do some upgrades to have some offroad fun. (Not climbing rocks and such though)
@MinThisMoment hey don't get your hopes up on that explorer I have a 97 5.0 awd. I've gotten many places with this thing with only decent tires (im currently typing this while sitting on a mountain with a gorgeous view). A pair of 31x11.5in all terrains on the cheaper side about $900 brand new at discount tire. No other modifications done for handling or performance.
I've brought this up many mountain trails and I can make it up just about all of them unless they are something tiny like a quad trail or rock crawling.
Any standard logging trail you'll be golden. Also does pretty decent in sand. Just beware mud it's awful and ice. Dry snow is fine this was my daily for working at a ski lodge.
you guys did a great job here representing the 4x4 community... from the builds, to the testing, to the learning new skills, to the actual wheeling and meeting people on the trails.
Awesome you all did this and got to experience it for yourselves
Dude. Mother trucking props to the Donut team! This finale totally felt like a Top Gear Special!
You guys Tacoma’d the hell outta that trail!
It was a reminder of the South America Special, especially when they went up to the peaks of the mountain's.
I was thinking if they started something like Top Gear, I’d watch it.
@@Gelathagath For sure, buying 2 cheap second hand cars and doing challenges.
Don’t disrespect top gear like that
Top Gear meets Dirt Every Day, haha
"Only for $29.98"
"So much cheaper than $30"
*nods in agreement*
I think it was meant as a joke for “29.98” than “29.99” I could honestly agree *totally so much cheaper*
Wholesome content. I went from the "JDM" and "Euro" scene to off-roading/camping when I moved to WA 10 years ago. It reminds me of what the car scene was 20+ years ago. No one really cares what you got as long as you're having fun and not pissing anyone off or damaging someone else's property. A beat up old $2k Wrangler is just as cool as a $75k 4Runner to most people.
this series has been great! hoping one day there will be a HI-LOW: JKU series!
This and maybe a 4runner LOL
This definitely gave me *"The Grand Tour"* / *"Top Gear"* vibes. Good job guys.
Tonight:
Nolan climbs a wall
Aaron yells at Zack
Zack says no, no, no...
Tonight . . .
James and Zack destroy a bumper,
Nolan and Aaron show us how it's done,
And the crew crash a drone.
@@Reaper_03-01 hahaha.. yes.
Both builds did very well with their pricing. Would have smoked almost any off the line “extreme” off road dealership offerings.
I didn't know orange juice man would be here. Tankless polarstar moment
Thank you for using ’would have’ instead of ’would of’
My hope in humanity just rose a tiny bit.
Idk about that. My power wagon is basically stock except bigger tires and it’s done harder trails than that
I wouldn't go that far
@@Ed-pi8on you got any videos or pictures
Just saw this finale, love how all bases were covered and subjective in some aspects. I would love to see a stock offroad truck or SUV (Raptor/Rubicon/Defender) go head to head with your built trucks! 👍
I guess one technically did. Their production vehicles were stock jeep wranglers iirc
The finale showed that the line & driver/spotter skill is more important than throwing $ at the truck. Great series boys!
This series taught me one thing: you can get away with a lot of cheap parts just always have a friend with a winch
Just as long as your friend knows what they are doing and doesn't winch their bumper straight into the ground. :p
@@theshadowswithin9896 that’s the trick, the one that brought a friend with a winch was the ground, not low team
ua-cam.com/video/RaHw6ElcHD0/v-deo.html
Tbh the winch and the lockers are probably the only two things off hi truck that you'd want or need to splurge on, that wasnt perfectly good enough on low truck.
@@_Zekken I was thinking of commenting the same thing. I’d take the low truck, add the air lockers and the winch and man, would it be an amazing overlander
I really like how y'all left in the bickering and just overall tense feeling of the situations. Too many "overlander" UA-camrs edit their videos in a way that presents a much easier forgiving environment rather than what it really is.
I agree, seeing the stress come through, you could see how they were really tired and stressed.
You shouldn't be getting stressed in these situations in the first place. That just simply shows inexperienced. The whole point of rock crawling is taking your vehicle up trails that weren't really designed for vehicle to traverse in the first place. So of course your going to get stuck sometimes and have to backup and try again. But when you start stressing out is when mistakes start to be made. It's ment to be a fun enjoyable experience, not a stressful one.
@@TheMiraldi Yeah but it happens so I’m glad they kept it in. Made it lot more genuine
@@grizzlypork2965 I do agree with you in it making the video feel more genuine. 100%
@@TheMiraldi doesn't matter how prepared or how experienced you are. Shit just goes wrong sometimes and just like that even the simplest task can be stressful. Everyone will eventually reach a point like that in whatever the hobby might be
there are few things better than trying to accomplishing something difficult with the bois, so difficult you are arguing and bickering, then absolutely nailing it. The celebrations that come after those moments are enough to bring the bois to tears!
Outdoors, off road, camping and friends, that’s all that’s needed.
The relief on Nolans face when they made it was how I felt in the inside stressed watching them go up 😂
"The spotter is the real driver, I'm just his hands." Oh yeah, spotting is its own skill for sure. I've really enjoyed this series, guys - kudos to all involved, host and crew.
Its funny how only Muricans need a spotter
@@janeblogs324 bruh on the headlight video you wanted them to compare stock headlights to an aftermarket LIGHTBAR like there wasnt gonna be a difference lmao
@@janeblogs324 that's beyond naive.
@@janeblogs324 4wd 24/7, one of the largest non American offroading channels, shows them using spotters all the time, so your comment is already mute.
seeing the slight arguments and frustrations made this feel way more real. props for leaving that in, definetly made it better
This is the pinnacle of UA-cam. I can't fathom how this content could get any better. You guys literally are the standard of quality content in my opinion.
This was the most successful show on Donut!
Still is one of their shows lol it’s not going away permanently.
HiLow isn't about the vehicles, it's about the bonding between friends. The laughter, the learning experiences, and just plain having fun. Love the series guys!
Money
Who thinks they should do a hydrogen truck or a electric truck testing them like this and see how they compare to the rest of the HILow trucks
@@thesilentone4024 The electric Hummer would be cool, don't think they'd pay for it new tho.
@@austinobambino1360 but thats the point of HILow they can find used ones or mybe ask the company if they can do this to show off there product and if it can do just as if not better then the normal gas car/truck then they know it will sell.
@@thesilentone4024 It will be many years before you can find many cheap used ones. They're just too new.

@𝐅**𝐂𝐊 A.S.S!! 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 Im surprised that someone with that pfp and name isn't a bot lol
I love you Nolan for saying this 26:39, this phrase definitely describes the whole purpose of hilow series.
I felt so proud of nolan when low truck made it to the top, congratulations donut for becoming the channel you are now, we really appreciate all the effort you put in this videos, keep it up!
Wish i'd have found this series waaay sooner. This is awesome, and i didnt even now it was happening. Just starting to get into overlanding and this series really gives me the itch i needed to start modding and working on stuff. Thanks a million.
I did not expect this series to end so beautifully.
When Nolan got up over the wall I got chills. What an amazing season
For overlanding rigs, upgrading brakes is often overlooked. Stainless steel brake lines, fresh pads and even different rotors (depending on your preferences and rig setup) can reap dividends. Especially when trying to stop relatively quick(ly).
But why? Generally brake upgrades are so you can brake harder and more often without them overheating. Overlanders are either driving along on roads like a normal car or creeping along at slow speeds off road.
@@xToddmcx you need to upgrade the brakes regardless due to the heavier rolling resistance of the bigger tires and more weight on the vehicle with mods. Bigger calipers have more clamping force and every bit of clamp force and friction from the disc and pad material will make a difference in a towing, off road or just daily driving
@Water Jogger Stop on a dime? You're hardly moving. If your brakes can't stop from that the problem is you've probably blown past your GVWR and are unsafe anyway, cut some weight.
Been binging a ton of your videos since I recently discovered the channel and absolutely love everything you guys do. It's interesting though. The thing that has stood out the most to me is just what a good dude Aaron is. If everybody had a friend like that in their lives the world would be a better place.
Loved this series. Thanks for all the work you guys do putting this together for us to enjoy!
"I'm doing this for the humble driver who just wants a truck that can get over some big ass rocks"
he know my thoughts
This was a production MASTERPIECE, best Finale ever (so far)
Truly Top Gear quality I feel like. The boys (and gals) of Donut are really coming into their own with the video production. Truly excellent content.
As someone who is coming from the track to off road, it’s definitely interesting and great to watch these videos as I build my F150 exactly like y’all did minus the tents.
My family and I been going to Colorado every year for 12 years straight, we've done most of the trails and all of the stuff we do have been in a Toyota 4runner with offroad tyres and a lift kit, I am turning 16 this December and hope to someday do it all by myself. Thank you donutmedia
Great finale, I damn near got emotional when Nolan cleared the Wall. Exceptional work you guys.
Nolan needs to be high next season. I’d love to see James talk smack from the low side XD
You guys killed it! Love the builds. Gave me great ideas for my customers at my shop.
This was a really enjoyable series. Amazing job, guys.
That rear locker was definitely not engaged, though. You did that obstacle on open diffs, which makes it that much more of an impressive feat.
Man this is beautiful
Not even kidding, so many youtubers try to get to this level. Top gear was like this but then Jeremy punched a producer, Roadkill was like this but then Motortrend got greedy and put it for pay. You got a winning format here, with great, real characters. It feels honest and relatable, i love it
Congrats guys

Couldn't have said it better.
Well said.
@@alpersmoses3152 freaking love watching those Aussies! Definitely on my bucket list to go wheeling in Australia one day
Nicely said.
No better way to settle the “problematic line” argument than making it to the top under your own power. Score 1 for the low truck.
I mean, they backed down and adjusted their line before they got up...
Also the 800lbs lighter helped
@@tohloc Agreed. The “best” is always the best. It’s a tough and expensive lesson to learn.

Even the Manual Trans benefits from a tune. I came from OV Tune 2.0 to KDMAxx after the 04A72 update not being compatible with OV yet and I think KD has them licked at the moment. Tune vs Stock is DAY and NIGHT difference no matter who you go with though. Congrats on the truck!
This was an absolutely epic episode. The military sent me to an off road driving school using stock Jeeps and I had a blast. These Toyotas were obviously built out a little better, but getting out to enjoy these land was the main point. Awesome stuff!!
Great finale. Great season. Good job guys! Also, props to the production crew, editors, and all the other help. Can't wait to see what season 3 has in store!

This series made me buy a trd off road 4runner the peer pressure is on with this series
I really love this concept. Hope you keep doing more of these Hi Low showdown.
I loved watching this whole series. Can't wait for the next one!
27:04 i love when Aaron and Jobe argued over which path and how it should be done...showing that they really try to cover all the emotions during the journey, showing how they settle their differences, showing the real humanity in their crews when being under pressure, it is simply awesome.
Most of the channel out there only show how their team get along with almost everything and like they never have a problem with each other.
It was pretty cringe. I think he shouldn't have said anything since he wasn't with Nolan.
@@ImSick0 i think it was just a genuine concern of safety between bros, he was just not sure about the path they took and afraid something bad would happen to them, especially to Nolan and Eddie. It happens everyday dude.

There truly is a safety concern for taking an incline sideways or even an angle. This is the reason why almost 99% of roll overs happen off road.
Tbh I feel like he was being a bit of a dick he could of said it differently
@@realboyy2092 exactly, Jobe sounded like a dick by saying that...but that is humanity under pressure......they were already days out there, exhausted as fuck, not to mention the altitude where the air pressure is lower, also he was already stressed when spotting Pumphrey, and also was shocked by the bumper accident. He means no harm by saying that, he just tried to kept his bros safe but since he was exhausted, he said it kinda rude.
There is a saying in my hometown "Put a human in a wild under great pressure and it would bring the true human inside him"
"If ya wanna see the best in humanity, go to the side of a mountain" - James
True words my man.
Idk why but that brought a tear to my eye lol
@@thatoneleafsfan971 it was a very wise and beautiful sentiment. The level of community that there is out on the trails, or out in the middle of nowhere hiking, camping etc is amazing.
@Sharon 20 y.o - check my vidéó yep that’s how I have always done it, typically with trailers though
Aaron is a GOATED spotter
I keep coming back to the scene starting around 29:54. Just beautiful. Makes me want to get a Tacoma and go overlanding
Excellent series dudes. This finale was a great trip. Never been overlanding and now I feel like I gotta try it
with mark and wade as your spotters? and if something breaks blame it on wade lol. jokes aside if you are going for overlanding enjoy yourself to the fullest but come back home alive.
I think I speak for the entire internet when I say I would love to see vlogs of Bob in a Subaru Outback mobbing around in the forest
Man small world
Bob's here wtf
Wait Bob watches donut 😂
This series started as relatable and ended up just confirming what I think we all hoped. Just get out and have fun! Spend the money if you want, but you don't have to.
I live right by there. This makes me so happy.
Telluride is where I grew up. Seeing all these trails was nostalgic
Please tell me there's more seasons of Hi-Lo. This finale of the season was great. Please do more!
Hi-Lo of classic car restoration/daily driver would be freaking awesome!
I think it will start soon
We 100% need a muscle car hi low
Aka season finale
@@scottsilverman165 tbh i dont really think there will be a season finale since you could do multiple things to multiple vehicles and donut media is really good at doing that
Watching low truck crush hi truck on the wall climb was so satisfying, proving that the humble worker that can’t afford all the fancy over priced stuff can still hang with the big budget builds
Low truck took a much smarter path too, just shows that being clever and planning ahead beats just having more expensive equipment
All glory goes to the quality that the 1st gen tacoma delivers stock
I think hi truck was in 4 hi lol. There's no way it couldn't get up that in 4lo. The problem is that they're very inexperienced offroaders. I mean the guy was literally saying his locker was locked when it clearly wasn't. I watched the whole series and they honestly don't know much about off-roading
@@alexgarcia3900 Original owner said trans was bad
@@ElevatedOverland i didn't know that.
One of my favorite episodes yet. Great job guys.
Can’t explain how intense and exciting the whole series has been for me. I’m not much of an auto or mechanical type of guy but watching the videos and having you explain even the simple and basic things while creating great content helps me learn and become more interested.
