- I meant to say sunrise. Well it's been nearly 2 weeks since I've started and there are some really good days and some days when I crawl into bed tired wondering what I've done. I always said it would take a few weeks to a month to get used to things but as it gets warmer and I get more familiar with how to get around the truck, things get easier.
There's a few things I'm still ironing out with the old Land Cruiser but the US was meant to be the shakedown after the shakedown and all things considered, it's going well.

Max!! So cool to see what you’ve done with the Rig since we last spoke. Those cinematic shots with the drone are absolutely killer. Looking forward to following your adventure! 😃
Hey thanks man! Yeah it's been under the knife a bit haha, hope you're doing well!
Looks amazing!!! Stay warm!
Awesome content and you chose a pretty sweet Land Cruiser to do it all in. Safe travels.
With your obvious skills this is destined to be an awesome channel. Happy to be apart of the under 100 club!
Thanks I hope you're right! I just picked up a gopro, going to fully commit to the videos
Awesome overlanding rig, keep safe.
Loving the landcruiser!
👍👍🏝 hope you get to warm weather soon :).
Wow!!! Amazing 👏
amazing scenery and nice vehicle, god bless you friend, greeting!
Nice! got the same rig with similar plans.
Ah cool man!
Great shots but if I can make a suggestion, maybe more at the moment video than after the fact voice over. Like you did with the shower. That was great.
Awesome!
Just happen to stumble upon your video. Amazing views! Looking forward to all of your adventures. Subscribed!
Ah thanks so much! I appreciate the support
🖤
Hey man, good luck with the trip and the channel. I plan on doing the same thing starting from Toronto in January.
Thank you! Goodluck hope everything works out for you
Thanks for the video. I will make a suggestion that you probably don't need to use filtered water to take your shower in. This will save the amount of water you have to filter on the journey. Looking forward to your videos as your journey unfolds.
haha yes you're right filtered water is definitely not required for showers
Caution while using jumping tool-weight required! 😂
Haha yes sir
Your editing makes the vlog very interesting. Still catching up to your latest release.
Thanks appreciate it!
Hello fellow Victorian! We have just discovered your channel, and have subscribed to follow you on your fabulous journey. We own a Helio shower and suggest you boil 1/2 of the water and add it to the bag, because it takes a very long time to warm up on its own.
Thanks I'll try that!
Good luck bud. I can’t wait to get my truck done and get out there. You found some amazing spots. Were they all on national forest or you’re just chancing getting told to leave. It’s all new to me and I have so much to learn.
Nope all national forest, everything north island is pretty much free game
🤙🤙🤙
On your way, and your style of videography is working pretty great especially for you having to do it all by yourself👍I was curious, how timely are your vids in comparison to your travels if your willing to share. Are you posting semi real time or have you already completed the trip and your now uploading vids. Just wondering for comment context. Would seem kinda weird to watch your adventure and make a comment on one of your vids as if you've recently experienced something if you've been finished with your trip for like a year or something. I kinda made a real time assumption with my comment on your first vid and wouldn't want to have future comments be off if that's not the case.
Hey thank you for the support, no the trip is ongoing and usually the videos are ending with my last currently location. So from the beginning of the video there is a time gap of X long depending how far between videos it is. The last episode was a huge gap because I was stopped in mazatlan for weeks and didn't record much.
Great rig!! I am planning on buying my 92 Land Cruiser here in Texas. It is surprising how these vehicles are even more capable than Jeeps, Broncos, and newer Tacomas. Can you go over your setup and year of your rig?
Yeah they're great machines! I did a full setup summary in the first video I posted showing how it's setup to be on the road
Just checked it out! Amazing, definitely have a few ideas on my Land Cruiser build from your video.
I would suggest you choose a 1995 or later. You get the better engine, interior and it's OBDII compliant.
I also wanted to ask if you are familiar with and area of central America that you will not be able to cross with a vehicle called the Darien gap? If you don't know it yet, it would be a challenging surprise.
Yes! shipping across the darien gap is fairly established but driving a right hand drive vehicle through Costa Rica, where they are completely banned, is not! That will be the real challenge, whether it's possible to flatbed it across Costa Rica or go back through Nicaragua up to Guatemala, where the option to ship directly to Columbia is available, skipping Panama.
I trust you have ideas about how to circumvent Costa Rica which does not allow RHD vehicles?
Yeah this is an ongoing discussion with other travellers, there is really very little information on how to get around. However, I will try and see if flatbedding it border to border is possible and if not there are two brokers (father son combo) out of Guatemala who ship direct to Colombia. So I would go back up through Nicaragua and ship it out of Guatemala, skipping panama.
Good stuff. Subscribe.
Dude what’s up with the next upload?
Man I've had it 90% done for weeks just to into some sort of travel time void limbo I don't know... I'll be putting it out soon as I can I know it's been waaaaay too long
