Not a Toyota guy but I appreciate everyone’s adventures. I’ve been all up and down from LaPaz to the Rubicon in 30 yrs of wheeling. It never gets old and you still see stuff you missed every time. NV, AZ, UT and CO too. Watching these as I rewire my old Ramcharger makes me realize how lucky I was growing up in Vegas. About to start exploring the east coast and south now since moving to SC.
I have just found your channel, I have to say I have not been jealous of anyone in a very long time, but I can honestly say that you two are living a dream of mine that I'm hoping will become a reality as my 3 sons grow up and start their own lives. Wishing you both safe travels.
Death Valley magic, even more impressive coming from the PNW. Your compilation conveys the desert feel/sensations/noises and one could almost smell the whiskey & ghost pepper sauce. Nice design of your front bumper, many people go overboard and mess up the air flow, affecting cooling, mpg and dynamics. I can't see any significant sway in the suspension, considering the center of gravity of the camper; that should help both off road and badly engineered mountain tarmac. I am appreciating more and more the "everyday living" segments: camper's plumbing, food, drink and making new "friends". Looking forward to your next segment.
I use to live in Beatty as a kid. I would ride my dirt bike often to Rhyolite. Back then/1970ish a very old lady lived at the train depot. She had nice trees and plants so lots of shade and sold ice cold drinks which I would buy after a hot day of motorcycling.
What an incredible area. The valley looks so barren and appears as if it would be 100f+, yet it's cold and surrounded by snowy peaks. The mind is challenged to comprehend. I am rarely jealous of anything, but a girlfriend that can make off-the-cuff jokes about a welded axle would tempt me. Your closing thanks us for coming along, but really, thank you guys for sharing your adventure.
Nice video of my old stomping grounds. I lived in Bishop for 15 years. Also like the walk around of the rig you did in the Alabama Hills. The Owens Valley is a beautiful place. I look forward to your further explorations.
I had to pause the video at 14:09 to take it all in... what a gorgeous shot! 😍😍😍 such a unique mix of land scape! also a unique mix of Toyota parts lol
1:41 Word from the wise, put a ziptie through the D-shackle bolt and secure it as they can back out from vehicle vibration. True story; I was at Burning Man and had my rig parked on the playa. A new friend was looking over my rig and told me I should secure my D-shackle with wire or a ziptie. I ignored his advice. After Burning Man we were going to Vegas to decompress. I was in the middle of nowhere in Nevada and I heard a clunk and my tire kicked something red up. I saw something flying in my mirror so I pulled off wondering what just fell off my FJ Cruiser. It was my D-shackle. If someone had been behind me it would have been bad. Now I secure my D-ring bolts. 5:40 It is ok to mix whiskey and beer but don't invite tequila ... 13:54 What an epic view, so lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Full on dry dessert with snow top to bottom on the mountains. Great video!
Greetings from the once more frozen Okanagan - again you picked a good winter to skip out on. The KC lights were "the thing" to have back in the '70's even, though then we'd hear the big V8 slow down and the alternator belt squeal when we put them on! :) The new LED lights are wonderful. Stay well and travel safe you two.
First and foremost, I think you guys have hit the sweet spot and become the best overlanding channel out there. I'm really looking forward to this trip. Secondly, what are your thoughts on cast iron over stainless steel when cooking on gas? I have both and use difficult to heat up cast on wood fires and s/s on precious gas/diesel (less easily available fuel).
For reference, there is a big BLM fine for feeding those donkeys. Got warned a couple times by the locals in as I was patching a tire in Beatty where the herd goes to hang out. Also, just between Rhyolite and Death Valley, there is a kind of arts colony/outdoor sculpture park if you take the access road to the north.
Another awesome video! I’ll be at hammer as well. Will definitely keep an eye out. Message me if you need any parts I have a buddy who has everything and he’ll be out there as well. Safe travels.
That area is so cool. Bishop and Big Pine area. I hope you can get up in the Inyo. Great trails. And check out Yosemite. I spent a ton of time in that area a couple years ago fighting fire. Most of CA you can have it but I love it around there. I’m living vicariously through you guys and will be for a long while the way things are looking 😊
Thank you! When we bought the truck, it was hanging in it, and after searching through the glove box, someone had made a sticker and put it in the owners manual that said “Gypsy Wheeler.” We weren’t going to name it Gypsy wheeler but we thought we could keep a little bit of its Gypsy heritage haha
@@ToyotaWorldRunners that is amazing. I’m jealous of what you guys have achieved and I look forward to my journey out in the wild. You guys are an inspiration. keep it up!! 😁
You bought lights in Williams, Az? There are only around 4 tourist shops and 2 gas stations there! I take my Jeep up there every winther to play in the snow.
Dude, the Mt. Tom and the Owen's Valley is beautiful this time of year! Not sure if you guys are still in the eastern sierras, but I'm a local and know some solid trails over in the Panamint Valley if you guys are looking for some more desert offroading!
This is such a fun adventure- I was going to do something "similar" with one of my boys (22 now) and our rigs- but Covid and a broken wrist (his) shut that down- so I'm living vicariously through you two now- just love this! I do have one question- the rig looks a little low in back- I understand it's heavier back there- is there a way to pick it up more with maybe heavier lift springs? Seems kind of nose-light... otherwise one of the coolest rigs out there.
"Off-the Hook Chinook". I'd love to trade lives with you. Been calculating gear ratios all day. My '80 long bed project is about to begin. Looks like 5.39's, 35's and a doubler. (I'm sure you know what I said).
Clara! She's a dream boat. Keeps the coffee hot for ages. We got her randomly at a store in Nevada called Home Goods. (It's actually called Clara btw, lol).
I hear some people camping at police department when traveling. Wake up in the morning. All stuff outside the truck will be gone. Lights spare tire... someone always stays up at night. Different world.
Loving the adventure so far, Nevada death valley spectacular!!! Just a quick question are you thinking of adding front guard flares to the rig? Enjoy your wonderful trip 👊 and the Shaun Whale Reference Gold!!
Aren’t the landscapes there so dramatic? BC is awesome, and beautiful, but the slick rock of Utah, the desert and those mountains have such a huge vista, it is so foreign to a Canadian. And the night sky…..
Once again another great video of your adventures.You guys look like your having the time of your lives.Did you two stopped in at Cerro Gordo?How does the Chinook perform on the highway?Especially hills and cruising speed?Thanks for taking the time and energy to share another video.
They absolutely should visit Cerro Gordo if they can! I watch the video channel Ghost Town Living and That would be a cool place to explore. The Eastern Sierras are gorgeous in the winter! I have spent quite a bit of time in the Owens Valley. Safe travels!!!! Looking forward to more content.
@Mark Ely Yes I Brett Channel too,that's why I suggested them visiting there.Several years ago I stayed at a couple volunteer cabins in Death Valley with my family.
Great views and great video overall, congrats ! If I may however, please check your audio balance for us headphone users. Your voiceover and some (not all, strangely) footage audio is stuck on the left channel only, which sounds really weird :-). Keep on the good work.
Love the build and the adventures so far, but I'm concerned about your choice in tire size when you get south of the American border. Anything bigger than 32" is not very common.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how far this fresh build has been driven immediately after “finishing”! The truck and the adventure are sick!
It’s really a sweet setup!
Thank you for this comment! We're impressed every day.
Yes, very impressive 👍

We hope you make that dream a reality! Thank you for watching 🙏🏼
Again such a great video guys! Love the content! 🙏🏻
The Shaun Whale whale comment with not trying to kill everyone was good 😂🤙🏻
Favorite channel I’ve found on UA-cam ever. Thank you for the quality content
Amazing. You guys get to do what many people only dream of thanks for sharing your adventures. Safe travels.

Winter camping is the best. We did a huge tour with 31 National Parks and didn't even have to book in advance as everything was available!
I use to live in Beatty as a kid. I would ride my dirt bike often to Rhyolite. Back then/1970ish a very old lady lived at the train depot. She had nice trees and plants so lots of shade and sold ice cold drinks which I would buy after a hot day of motorcycling.
Hahahahahaha Shaun whale reference was awesome
I don't know how ya'll don't have more subs.
Feel free to ask UA-cam? lol, we're waiting for them too 🤣
Those shots in the desert with the white mountains in the background…Epic.
Absolutely beautiful videography! You guys knocked it out of the park! Good luck on your adventures.
Thank you!!
Thanks for bringing me along

She is a dream, that's for sure!
It's a two was street, wouldn't be much fun without y'all here!
So Jealous of your travels. The KC lights are awesome!
Very nice. Drone work was very sublime. Lotsa smiles!
Many thanks!
Great videos kids so enjoy your travels and be safe! You two are making memories that will last a lifetime!
That's the plan!
There's nothing like French press coffee while camping in a rig you built yourself.
Awesome video brother and sister 🙏 ❤️
Great video you two,,! The music was perfect,,!! Thanks and have fun,!
Me and my gf love your videos, and beer reviews lol
Glad you like them, thanks for watching!
King of the Hammers coming soon
Welcome to Nevada! Lots of dirt to drive on.
Thanks for bringing us along, and the scenery is awesome also.
Refreshing video guys, thanka! Not being completely well-overdose workswonderfully for us. Enjoy your travels, subscribed x
What a machine!😃
Really enjoyed this video! 👏 Awesome build & good vibes in the video content
I gotta say, the cinematography lately has been on point👌
I just wanted to say thank you to you guys.. that impression is what I need in this lifetime.. right now! So thanks 🌻
Best regards from Germany :)
Beautiful scenery guys it’s just breathtaking!
It really is! Thank you.
SO.DAMN.GOOD.
Gorgeous! I loved the "Good the Bad and the Ugly" type cowboy music! The scenery is so unusual and beautiful! Congrats🥰❤️🥰❤️
It was a fun one to score!
You all should totally be hitting some of the hot springs sprinkled around these areas! Perfect for getting outside while winter camping.
Wish youtube had a LOVE button! Great stuff excited to see more
Love the cuisine segments 👍😎
Love the Shauno reference! Get video!
I love me some desert views. No trees to block scenery. Looking forward to the next video.
Nice video of my old stomping grounds. I lived in Bishop for 15 years. Also like the walk around of the rig you did in the Alabama Hills. The Owens Valley is a beautiful place. I look forward to your further explorations.

Our eyes also took a very long pause when we saw it...
The Rig Looks cherry brah Hawaiian shown some Aloha be safe out dea.
Mahalo brotha!

Great video!
Bravo!
Freakin Sweet!!!
Dig your adventure. Had a stealthy Hi Lux and ruled Baja in it. Safe travels
Nobody stuck around... that's why it's a ghost town.😉 Those drone shots are epic, btw.
Hah! Yup. Thanks! It's great to have a drone again.
Love the views. Good stuff guys keep it up and stay safe.
Awesome!
Greatly descriptive
Stay blessed, And great video 📸 guys 👍
Absolutely enjoying your Adventures
I noticed the Shaun from 4WD 24 7 reference :P

I hope yo find you at the hammers but that like finding a needle in the hay stack lol
Love the videos man
You guys are so courageous I can't wait to see the beautiful places you go to next. Soak up these incredible moments and take lots of pictures 😮😍
That sausage seems totally possible to me. Implausible, maybe, but surely not impossible.
Love the videos!!! Keep them coming
More to come!

Thank you for pronouncing "Nevada" correctly.
Great call out to Shaun Whale @ 4WD24/7. I always wonder how they let him go so spicy when toilets aren't available.
Another awesome video! I’ll be at hammer as well. Will definitely keep an eye out. Message me if you need any parts I have a buddy who has everything and he’ll be out there as well. Safe travels.

We could spend a year in each state is seems, there's so many cool roads and places to see. It's alway just a taste before moving on to the next.
Helo iam from indonenesia contryi good lux bro
Would be cool to have some lights on top and around the top of the rig too.
You really are going to need some fender flares.
I just started watching your series and it is amazing. I’m curious about your dream catcher. What’s the story behind it. It’s very unique
Thank you! When we bought the truck, it was hanging in it, and after searching through the glove box, someone had made a sticker and put it in the owners manual that said “Gypsy Wheeler.” We weren’t going to name it Gypsy wheeler but we thought we could keep a little bit of its Gypsy heritage haha
@@ToyotaWorldRunners that is amazing. I’m jealous of what you guys have achieved and I look forward to my journey out in the wild. You guys are an inspiration. keep it up!! 😁
You bought lights in Williams, Az? There are only around 4 tourist shops and 2 gas stations there! I take my Jeep up there every winther to play in the snow.
The KC highlights shop is in Williams!
Now I'm wondering if Shauno will ever see this. Lol
We hope so lol
Dude, the Mt. Tom and the Owen's Valley is beautiful this time of year! Not sure if you guys are still in the eastern sierras, but I'm a local and know some solid trails over in the Panamint Valley if you guys are looking for some more desert offroading!
Did you guys happen to check out the salt flat in DV?

Clara! She's a dream boat. Keeps the coffee hot for ages. We got her randomly at a store in Nevada called Home Goods. (It's actually called Clara btw, lol).
Love the videos. Each one is a little better than the last. But stop saying Pasta like that damnit! 😂 carry on… ✊
hahah! Tomato Tomaaaaato
and thank you!
In Mexico do NOT travel at night
100%
I hear some people camping at police department when traveling. Wake up in the morning. All stuff outside the truck will be gone. Lights spare tire... someone always stays up at night. Different world.

Are you going to KOH.
Yes.
What surprises you the most about this mashup of Chinook and crusier parts?
PAAAATA
Love the build and the adventures so far, but I'm concerned about your choice in tire size when you get south of the American border. Anything bigger than 32" is not very common.
How the hell is this rig road legal with this exposed tyres with no arches?!
It would be interesting to see your progress on the Panamerican though...
Dewd, that impossible meat BS with make you SICK AF.
I scrolled all the way to see if anyone was going to comment on that. Couldn’t get me to eat that chemical bs either!
Probably the last time we buy it... 😅
Need to turn up the voice audio...can't hear crap he's saying lol
