Hello Owen and MAK! You do realize that the definition of being an adult is being able to have "Fancy Feast" whenever you want. :) Thank you for the adventure!
Just getting caught up on this series. A couple things caught my eye. A) your tires looked pretty hard on the offroad shots. I’d go down to about 12-13PSI for that hard rocky terrain (and low range. Don’t run full speed while aired down). Less stress on EVERYTHING. Suspension, drivetrain, camper mounts (I read ahead... saw that already) and Luna’s tummy. Smoother ride all around. B) that garlic dip is amazing. I buy it from my local Lebanese shawarma shop and have been trying to make it (as good) from scratch for years. Not good for anyone you talk to after eating it though. C)Did you say FAKE SALAMI?!?! 😳
Wranglers and now for 2020 Tacoma have a forward facing camera, call a "trail cam, or trail monitor". I think that would be a great addition to Roxy. Sure there's some aftermarket options out there. Then you guys won't always have to spot for each other.
Wow I didn't know there was something like that hitting the market! Honestly, we like spotting each other. It makes you better at reading trails for when you're driving them!
I think you made the right choice not taking on that obstacle. My Husband and I own a hiking company in Moab and one of our guides got our rig stuck out that way doing a shuttle. We called the local towing company to get an estimate on an extraction. $350 an hour. Luckily we were able to get it out on our own. It’s just not worth the risk, especially when it’s your house. Also, glad to see you came through before the snow storm and the crazy hurricane force winds. Really enjoying your channel.
Get some mountain bikes. Those can go places your pricey rig can't go. I can't understand why people would risk damaging their rig when you can easily walk it or bike it.
I absolutely love your videos there are so inspiring. Although I can't take my wife full time on the road (still serving) we enjoy going on little trips when time allows.
I'm with you! our rig is waaaaaaay capable and we carry recovery gear but I find myself turning around at easy obstacles as well since we always travel by ourselves and I have two little kids in the backseat. Better safe than sorry right?
YES! 1000% yes! In the end we could have walked the last bit of the road no problem, but we felt we came, challenged ourselves and got everything we wanted out of the experience! No shame in turning around in my eyes! Gotta keep the babies safe!
I just recently stumbled onto y’all’s channel and I love it. It’s nice to live our dreams through your eyes. I’m so ready to quit the daily grind and travel like y’all have. Any pointers??? Keep up the great work and thank you for the videos.
*SCREEEAMING!!* “It smells like dookey in here.”💀 haven’t heard dookey since middle school....I’m 45🤣🤣🤣🤣 “Owen your hair looks like Ace Ventura”🤣🤣🤣🤣 Feeling in the dumps today. Needed that laugh. At least Luna went on the mat.💁🏽♀️☺️ She looked much better afterwards.
I was camped up the Colorado R. from Moab with my gf and dog in my pickup camper, and my gf, a cat lover, was missing her cats. I showed her an Instagram photo of Luna the traveling cat, which kept popping up first because I had no cell service. We went into Moab and the PO so said gf could mail something, and there you were. Owen was kind enough to give the gf a tour of Luna's poop deck. Thanks and safe travels.
I know this video is a few years old now but I ran across it researching new places to travel in Colorado and Utah. We were actually in Canyonlands in 2021 and just couldn't believe our eyes! We managed one overnight permit so we got to drive over Elephant Hill and camp and left though Bobbys Hole. Quite the challenging drive but so much fun! Canyonlands is one of our favorite places! Thanks for reminding me how beautiful the place really is!
Oh there is nothing that compares to that area! We are not built for that kind of wheeling (elephant hill kinda wheeling), which is fine, but it was fun to go out there and give it a try! Such a spectacular area
Hi, your videos are very enjoyable. Spent a week in Moab and the brewery last year. Spent time in arches,canyonlands and green river area looking for wild horses. You bring back good memories and the desire to get back for more adventures. Thanks guys!
The link to the place where you turned around isn't working... :( What am I doing wrong? EDIT: that facny feast dinner looks good. I think I will incorporate that in my menu on a moderate rotation basis!
You totally could have made that spot in that truck. I’ve had several Tundras built about like yours and went some crazy places. They are off road machines!
I do agree with you. I think it was a matter of getting late (dark) and not having an other rig with us that made us want to pull back a little... and we were missing sunset hahah which was the whole reason we were out there.
Wohoo! My morning is made! Time for an awesome new video. Definitely a pretty rough spot to bring your entire house. Like you, I think you could have done it, but it's not worth the risk.
I always enjoy watching you guys Bound around😉 In all my offroading years I've always found it more stressful then fun when I'm in a vehicle I'm worried about damaging on terrain that it's not really suited for. Its Always been more fun for me to explore reasonable terrain in the vehicle and then when the going gets sketchy transition to the best all terrain vehicle out there, oneself and ones own two feet and hands😁 Thanks for sharing another great vid!
Your truck is way more capable than you think. The photo link shows what appears to be a stock Sequoia. That's basically the same chassis your Tundra sat on before your suspension mods. Like someone else already said, you should lower your tire pressure when hitting the trails. (are you running LT or P-metric tires?) That will give you more grip (wider contact patch), better sidewall deflection and a softer ride.
I think this is one of you best treks. The hiking viewage (new word) was killer (old word), and the rivers confluence and overlook were really breathtaking. Owen, love your hair. Are you sure it was the Roxie ride or your devilish looking hair that scare the s@#? out of Luna? heee. I have to get to that brewery for those wings. I can smell them from here! Thanks for continuing to share this stuff...envy envy envy. Vince and Chili (my poojuajua). p.s. Hi Luna ;0)
You guys should take a class with a I4WDTA certified trainer. You will learn driving and recovery techniques that are a must and will boast your confidence. 😉
We've taken a lot of classes. But it's one thing to take classes it's a while other to have your house be what your driving. In the end we like to use our rig as a tool to get further out and go out on human powered adventures. We always have to way the risk and the reward. In this case we felt we could have done it, and likely would have if we had another rig with us.
You have a lot of weight. It's best to be in 4x4 when off road. There is a lot of pressure on the axle shafts and u joints. People break axle shafts all the time. Spread that load to all wheels. Use four wheel drive on any obstacles even sm one's.
We were in 4x4 don't you worry! Yeah we like to move slow off road because our old Vanagon didn't have 4wd we would have to use speed to compensate and inevitably axels were broken. Learned that lesson the hard way!
You guys just need to go with some folks that have experience off road to gain some confidence. Running built full-sized rigs does take a bit more finesse and knowing how to pick the right lines, but with at least a rear locker (which I think you have) you'd be amazed at what you can do. Upside, you have a good departure angle. Breakover is a tad iffy without some true sliders to protect the rocker panel area under the doors. I meet up with some friends from CO. frequently in N. AZ, UT and we all have FWC's (or Phoenix pop-ups). All are full sized, I have a Power Wagon. Its kinda funny when we run into guys in Jeeps and they give us that WTF look. Like, "how the hell did they get those rigs back HERE!" That said, we have a lot of experience and carry the proper recovery gear and common spare parts with the ability to do the wrenching if necc. We will avoid, or turn around however vs. damaging our trucks. Smart to do so esp. solo. Growing up in Flagstaff, I've been to UT a lot, and it never gets old. Too bad it has become so popular. BTW, I looked at those chairs last night at REI. Quite a bit more than I would have thought. Ever tip over in them? At 53, not sure how easy they are to get up and out of. Sad times. 🤣 Peace!
I’m really enjoying the videos. I am looking to travel some, just periodic trips, and I’m curious how you are able to verify the road difficulties before going. Thanks!
I never met a donut that I haven't liked. Great video! You guys are living the dream. I miss the days of camping off the grid when i was younger. Got to take the wife and kids!
This!! Can completely relate to the off road trails and even some of the hiking trails! I went to Moab this past August and it was no joke! Great video!
Not sure if you have ever tried it, but Moab Coffee Roasters is some of the best coffee I've had. Great place to check out and it's right by the post office.
I just discovered this channel and this video, I wish I saw this sooner! Great video. Would you mind sharing where your camp spot was in Moab? It looked beautiful.
I watched again, had to since there was so much to absorb. The views are great. Also, I caught Owen climbing up a trail, then posing...that was great! You made this lite Mediterranean dish and looked really excellente... And I had to see those hot wings again. Since your home is on wheels, it's wise to be cautious, but Roxie is more than capable. I would like to contribute to the both of you some time. How?
Great videos guys! I'm new and having fun catching up! I'm planning on getting into overlanding and the Rimrocker is now a must on my list. Moab is an awesome town. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey!
@@BoundForNowhere Even though I've never had a break down doing things like this in my F250, I'm that guy that carries way too much just in case. Last month on my trip to Colorado I had a spare turbo, alternator, fuel pump, hubs, drive shaft and axle u-joints, sensors and a variety of other things and all my recovery gear being that far away from home in the mountains. Also carry enough tools to build a car with me lol. Actually ended up helping out some people in a RZR that had a rear control arm problem on Cinnamon Pass, and those things are built specifically for this kind of stuff lol.
Thank you so much! We like it too because by narrating it gives us the opportunity to really digest the experience then share it in a more simplified and concise way!
@@BoundForNowhere I overland in a tundra also, and found that the tundra is unfortunately too large of a vehicle for most moderate trails.....do you guys have the same issue? Thanks for reply.
