Issac looks at you when you are talking and when he speaks to you. Love it. The sweet kiss was nice too. 💖 So so very very happy to see all the great changes you have gone thru in the past few years. You're a good person Jaylena.
excellent choice! you are a very talented videographer who understands what viewers want to see and how they want to see it! your prominent style of sitting in front of a stationary camera makes for easy viewing for those of us with visual disabilities. thanks for sharing and thanks for the way you share !
@@LeaveHerWild I Cannot wait to see this journey! I’m already so stinking proud of the property and progress with it! And you look so much Happier! There for a bit you had lost your shine. You could tell stress was weighing on you. So happy to see Happy Jaylena back! My gosh what a journey your life has been so far! I wish people would go back and watch from the beginning so they would understand what all you have struggled through and came out smiling on the other side! So proud of you girl! And can we just stop for a minute and give a round of applause to Ember Wild! What the crap! She’s walking!!! Shut the front door! It went so fast! I’ve always laughed at how moms are. Being one of 2 grown men now, you always want them to start talking and walking and then when they do we are constantly saying Sit down and shut up! 😂 we have to be careful what we wish for! I wouldn’t trade it for the world. My baby is in his 2nd year of college and my oldest is recently engaged. I don’t know where the time went. It’s so insane to think about. I love that you being a content creator will have lots of video and pics of your baby girl! I wish I had more of my 2. (To be fair.. cell phones weren’t really a thing when they were little.) video quality sucked! Lol anyways…. Just wanted to let you know you’re 💯 rocking life right now! Never give up! You got this!
Congrats on your new camping/daily driver! Before plucking down all the hard earned money on modding out the GX470, you should find out its limits/and your own comfortable limits. I wouldn't put suspension lifts on it yet until you really decide that is where you want to spend your hard earned money. You can put 32" AT tires on the stock suspension and have the spare fit in the OEM spot. Lifts does not give you more ground clearance. Bigger tires do. Unless you are putting on 35" or bigger, you shouldn't need to lift the GX470 more than 1 to 2" to get bigger tires to fit. Also tires bigger than 33" will require you to do body mount pinch or modifications to avoid tire rubbing and/or use wheel spacers... Add more weight such as bumpers, armor, winches, etc will require putting in aftermarket suspension to handle the weight. Really rear air spring to coil spring conversion is usually the number one reliability related mod people make. Metaltech 4x4 in Newberg, OR have a kit that I used for over 10 years. I have also been through the RTT craze a couple of years ago and towing a camping trailer. Make sure that is what you really want because your fuel economy will tank to the low 10's even on the highway. Modded GX470's on 34"/35" with RTT and bumpers will get you around 11-13 mpg on the highway... Your stock gas tank size is 23 gal... My GX470 with 2.5" coilovers (0.5" front lift and rear 2" coil spring to level the car), slim roof rack (no load), and aluminum underbody armor, on 32" KO2s get 16mpg on the highway. When I had CVT RTT, I got 14 mpg... Worse in the city and going faster than 75mph. Plus you need some kind of garage lift to remove it during the winter season or leave the RTT on the entire year. If it gets wet, you need a place to dry it out... I came to the conclusion to keep the mods reasonable. Plus it is way easier for me to set up a bed in the 4Runner/GX470/LX570 than carrying around the RTT or towing a trailer. If I need to haul extra gear, I use a hitch mounted raised enclosed cargo basket because it doesn't affect the fuel economy and allow me to carry dirty items outside the vehicle. Even with minimal lift, 32" AT tires, I have taken my family of 6 to off-road/camping adventures in Moab, Death Valley, Canada, and all over the western US. Same with our minimally modified LX570 on 33" AT tires which gets 16mpg on the highway as well. My 4Runner is more modified for weekend/short off-roading/camping trips with lockers, supercharger, steel underbody armor, etc...
I'm looking forward to the build of Gigi. It must be surprising because every build you do is. I wish you great joy in doing the build and also many safe travels.
You are very directional in your decisions and that is commendable. You research and know all that can be done to make your lives more comfortable. Whether at home or on the road. Issac and you keep each other grounded and work together on all aspects of your lives. Ember included with her funny language.
I traveled for a year and a half in an all wheel drive when my two were 7 and 8. This is the way to go when they are little because it forces everyone outside. You can build out a kitchen and be that family out adventuring every teacher inservice day.
Tip for your plates on your car , when you can , go get all stainless steel screw's, that way will not rust out or rust on your new plates , that what i did on my trailblazer SUV
Congrats on your new wheels, Jaylena! Great car! I miss my Lexus (after it got totaled by a flying toolbox from a truck on the interstate, a couple of years ago). I know you'll enjoy it for years to come. Fun plans in the works, as well! Enjoy!
Congratulations Jaylena. She is a beauty indeed. I don't think I have ever seen a build out on one of these vehicles, so should be awesome to watch what you will do. Looking forward to each and every video.
When I was camping back in 2009 There was this 4 wheel pop up Toyota van. They also had a side snapped on porch tent for side door area. It was so sweet. Love your new GG😊.
Nice to see you overwhelmed in a positive way,so many changes and so much happening, a home and a mom truck, good luck to all 3 of you, good to see progress leading to happiness ✌️❤️🇬🇧
I thought your family was in Tennessee. I'm happy you are driving your dream car. I'm looking forward to you two getting married. As long as you are happy. I've been watching you since the 100 day challenge
I've been followin your journey since you 1st got together with Isaac. You are a strong woman Jaylena. Happy you found your next adventure/ GG mobile. Your consistant gratitude & humility warms my heart.❤ Wishing you & your family nothing but the BEST❣ Thx for sharing y'alls journey. It always brightens my day!🌈 Looking fwd to watchin the build out. 😁
Jaylena, I am super excited for this! I love to watch these over lander build outs!! You are gonna have a blast. Very expensive, hopefully, you can get some sponsors.
LOVE that you got a family car that you can take your time to convert. It’s safe and practical and perfect for where you guys are at in life right now 👏👏👏♥️💪
LOVE the name GeeGee Jaylena. LOL Grocery Getter cracked me up.Can't wait to see what you do to her. The house is HOME BASE, which is great when you just want to rest up and stay in 1 place for a bit. But the BIG BUS was built for the travelling for the 3 of you. What ever you decide to do, we'll be here waiting and loving you guys. Safe travels where ever you all go and I pray the fires are put out ASAP
Pro tip, check the radiator and top it off, as well, there’s a 99 cent o ring behind the water pump, when you do a timing belt, MAKE SURE YOU BUY A NEW OEM O RING
Isaac's question about quality of life in your decision making was thoughtful and so indicative of his love and respect for you. This makes me so very happy for you and your future together. Smart choice to go with the Lexus for now. Life and a situation may bring another vehicle your way later, but this is a fun choice for now. Happy roads!
So happy for your new ride!!! Can’t wait to see it done. I sooo love the decision making between you n Issac. He seems to bring the more sensible side to your wild side. It is sooo nice to see how you guys support love and respect each other n also loving the PDAs it’s nice to see affection n it doesn’t mean you have to hang all over each other. Thanks for sharing your journey love you 3❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I just bout me an Infinity QX56 for the same reason. I am planning on doing some traveling. I told hubby not only will this be my work vehicle it will also be my get away vehicle. I told him he is welcome to come with me on trips, but if he don't it is on him. I will be fixing me a convertible bed on the inside for now. But hoping to be able to afford a roof tent within the next year. I have already taken one trip in mine about 2 weeks after I got her. Congrats on your GG.
Jaylena, so happy for you just love the way you and Issac make decisions, I'm very happy you found a wonderful vehicle. You and Issac are so sweet😊 Congratulations!! 🎉
That lexus will go places that a two wheel drive van will not and you are getting to use it straight away to do your day to day living. You can always get a van later and slowly build it up to your specs when you are ready for that
