A Land of Wonders and Awe-Inspiring Adventure [S5E3] Lifestyle Overland 

Your diesel heaters muffler itself has a small hole in the seam, that is supposed to be the lowest part of your exhaust. The reason you have so much carbon buildup is the diesel heater is spitting out minute amounts of diesel in its exhaust, and it’s collecting where your bend is in your exhaust pipe, and not able to drain properly. I would suggest either rerouting your exhaust to have that drain hole on your muffler be in the lowest part of your exhaust, or put a small drain hole in the lowest bend in your exhaust. This will help with both carbon buildup as well as overall performance. Keep up the great work! My daughter and I enjoy watching your videos! She’s 2.5.

I've been here since 2013 and still feel that way lol

I agree. She is having the adventure of a lifetime.

I agree. Mother and daughter sharing the most genuine laughter in the wild.

Hey buddy, how's Iraq these days?

Easy answer; 2 4Runners. When you compare the 4Runner to the Lexus with a long list of things, the 4Runner beats the Lexus hands down. Buying any of them brand new, the 4Runner is cheaper. Right off the showroom floor, you can take the 4Runner to many more offroad destinations than the Lexus woukd conveniently like to go to. Cost of tricking out your rig with lifts, suspension, bumpers and accessories is cheaper on the 4Runner. Cost of parts or maintenance items will be cheaper on the 4Runner. The Lexus is too beautiful to put it through abuse like you wouldn't mind putting a 4Runner through. So, the 4Runner wins.

They've stated they take both vehicles in the event of a breakdown. They go pretty deep into the wilderness, so getting help if stranded would be a major inconvenience with only one vehicle and probably weak or non-existent mobile signal.
