Rubicon Trail gets the best of us 

Hey man, I gotta give you props for sharing a video where it doesn't pan out, so many content creators make it seem like everything is perfect, and nothing ever goes wrong! bad ass, keep making the videos. I also like the format. Just the content and a narrator is nice.

Hey Bro! I'm rockin' a Gen 1 and I think this channel is by far the best! Not ever been a truck dude. Whole life into things that sit low and go around corners. About the past substance abuse and getting to where you are now, I'm happy for you! You are doing awesome shit, your building awesome shit, and you have an adorable family. It's extremely difficult to get out of it. I lost a brother to that life in '17. I'm happy for every person that makes it out of that place.

The Trail is UNGODLY. The 2 Alex: Guardian Angels. Husky: Everyone's Best Friend SEQUOIA: A True Legend 3rd Gen 4runner: A Diehard Mountain G.O.A.T. Love it. Love it. I have watched this video like 4 times now and I always see some new.

Wow what a adventure you guys had. Thanks to those awesome Jeep guys for making sure no one is left behind! Like you said… things aren’t great but it can be worse. Mother Nature is not forgiving and I witnessed that numerous times already. 😅thanks for sharing!

Still anxious to see you make another attempt at this. I've got my wife convinced to let me redo her '01 Sequoia build to tackle this next year. My 80 Series will run ahead of her and has run it several times. These are great machines

Wow the Rubicon in the snow ❄️. Hopefully make it back when it's not snowing. The dog sleeping outside was epic!!!

Two Alex's' and a Kyle were your guardian angels that day. I don't think you realize how significant a role they'd played on your adventure!

Man, that's good times right there. The "Rubicon hands" cracked me up. Wore d@mn flip flops on that trail years ago and had rubicon feet that no soap could solve in the first few scrubbings. Pretty funny. Great video.

Your rig is crazy cool. Inspired me to build my '03 tree. Great video!

That huskey is living in his truth! Great video and suspension 🍺

Awesome work, I do a lot of snow wheeling in PNW, Going from 15 to 5-8 psi in that stuff will make a huge difference, not a huge concern generally unless you get up to speed and make some sharp turns. Can't wait to see more!

That trip looks so fun, even with the craziness

sick sequoia!!!

I like this types of videos, those guys really saved your ass, the kind of guys I like to wheel with. When my rig was on factory 3.73 gears the gas pedal was very sensitive now on 5.38 it's much easier. I absolutely love that place but you are one brave guy for going right before the snow season while expecting bad weather.

Dang dude I wish we was neighbors, I could learn so much from you!!! Got a slightly built 05 Tree and love it, love this video, thanks for sharing....Also love seeing boomer!

awesome video great trip!

You almost had every light on that dash😂 great video

Awesome show. Looking into a sequoia and getting out of the Xj’s

Solid fun adventure right there, i live in south lake and we were skiing by then! Good trucks and stories. Excited to see that jd fab kit, i have a '86 4Runer with a TDI swap, on a gen2 chassis and blaze land 3"+ kit w/2.5fox. Would love a beefer suspension and a cage.

Great video - really well done! New sub!

You guys got lucky. I’ve met IFS Toyotas that are completely stranded on the Rubicon and Dusy, and because of time constraints only being able to help for a little bit. I have 5 various 1st gen Toyota’s, but my crawler is a Jeep based Buggy on Won Tons and 43’s.

Something to be said for solid axles .. I had the same problem with my 03 Sequoia. Transfer case actuators are prone to go bad. A few have swapped them out for the FJ cruiser transfer case.

Wow what a adventure!!!! Jeep Toyota whatever…. It’s the people that drive those that count ….. awesome you guys kept the good attitude \_/ Cheers

Hey man, great video. I have a 2002 Toyota seqouia and I have the same thing where the pedal is just really light, the torque is really high so when it comes to rain and especially snow, it’s very jerky and almost unwieldy 😂, that 270hp feel like a lot more

picked one hell of a time to go. snow and wet on an unknown trail. one of my bucket list places to go to.

Hell yeah dude! Can beat having fun while putting to the test the DIY creations. Keep up the good work brother! And correct me if I am wrong but you’re still only center diff locked? If so true testament of what a proper line selection and throttle control will do 🙌🏻

Such a dope video 🙌🏼 lmk when you need those beadlocks I’ll hook you up

Nice trip, I’ve done rubicon trail for 6 times in my 3rd gen 4Runner fun trail, what locker do you have in the rear looking for one for my 06 sequoia

Man what an adventure!! One you guys will always remember no doubt! Sometimes we ignore that little voice and usually regret it, lol. Btw, sorry if you have mentioned this in another video, but what rock sliders are you running now? I have a 2001 Tree.

I've had the same past experiences you had with drug abuse and criminal activities. That was years ago. I finally figured it out. This was after my military service... I was homeless 6 years ago. Add nothing Now I have a $50000 rig. 100% service-connected VA with extra monthly income. I've always had pieces of crap lived couched couch. Never thought I would finally get this Huge Life-changing break. But anyway, those trails look Amazing.

I recognize the song in the background towards the end as "run for your life" by mime, but this seems like such a chill extended mix of it! Did you do the audio yourself? It's great! If you're ever in Utah and need another Sequoia or two to wheel with, you should reach out!

Lockers will help, and you should bump it up in tires size, too, cause snow is not a joke Anyways, that was an amazing trip. I'm looking forward to your built man

What part do you have to fix the blown cv? Always afraid that mine would blow on a trail and don’t wanna bring spare cvs.

Was this in WA? This suv is a beast im looking to get one or a gx470 sometime next month

Hello Looks like hardcore contains! I noticed your dash light with the engine light, ABS, Trac…. Lights stuck on. I am having the same issue and have searched for vacuum leaks fuel filter… even my tire pressure sensor sets them off. Have you looked into what cause is with yours Thank you!

With that pedal acceleration issue, you might want to try. Maybe the pedal commander or something like that. I ordered one but sent it back after I got my bigger gears. I had the power I wanted but I have noticed mine. Does the same thing yours does. It's annoying, especially when you're in a critical spot. I'm not sure if that would work but now that I think about it it may. If you set it for economy mode. Not sport or anything like that. You can accelerate. Your throttle response time or. Decelerated with the pedal commander or a device similar.

I’m wondering why this wasn’t in my feed right away! Haha

If youre not breakin shit, are you even wheelin? lol! Glad to see the jeeps towing someone out instead of getting towed out for once XD Jokes aside, awesome they helped you out. Bummer about the acuator. Just went through that this past summer on my rig, totally fixable without removing the shaft from the transfer case in most cases. Yours looks like it got knackered pretty good though, but hopefully the shafts not bent and you can just throw a new acuator case on it. Ive been lookin into making a skid plate to protect mine in the future.

I think it would be awesome if you added a triple bypass shock to your front suspension and run duel shocks.. I'm getting ready to do it. But I have a total chaos, lower control, arm, and upper. It's already got the mail on the lower before a bypass shock. And I'm going to relocate my rear shocks to the outside. Run a 2 inch spacer, so it will fit. And change my. 2.5 king shocks out with triple bypass king shocks. I have a 05 limited Sequoia. Same coastal offer road bumpers. And rock sliders That you have. 35 by 12.5 by 17. Nitto Ridge Grapplers on method beadlock wheels front and rear Eton lockers 4.88 gears metal tech rear lower control arms. Of course, I won't break the bank build. You went budget build but Yours is the only build that I can find online that closely resembles mine.

Hey dude, not sure if the 5 speed has this option, but on my 4 speed 01 tree if I'm in 4L, I can lock it in 2nd gear just like you can lock in 1st with the shifter on 2nd. This can help with throttle control if you don't want it as super sensitive as 1st gear

Stock Spindle Knuckles w/welded gussets handled all this?

I know this has been asked before..I'm sure...and you are probably tired of answering so...just refer me to the propper video please..lol what is the offset of your wheels?Are you running spacers?I really like you setup.Mine looks almost identical...in my head lol..my goal with my build for sure.I want to run the same steel wheels and 33s to 35s.I understand the suspension part of the set up and have watched your fab up...I plan on a similar build in the future and would LOVE some direction on all of the measurements and degrees/specs...mostly though.Wheels?offset/backspace?spacer/no spacer?(I don't like spacers)Happy wheeling!!T.i.a.for any help.

There are good cops everywhere but most of the time we only hear about the bad ones.

Bro, they saw you were out there in Chuck Taylors and they knew that if they left you, you were going to die.

What year is you sequoia?

SO was there bypasses up to Ellis Creek? My Sequoia is not as ready as yours, so wondering......

Nicole from total chaos told me that with the sequoia and the way I have it Set up which Is the same that you have That it should have dual shops in the front. Triple bypass behind your Coil over.. That front is. The front is kind of heavy. I was going to go with hydraulic bump stops But they told me To run dual shots and leave the permanent. Bumpstop there But what I'm going to do is do the dual shocks and the hydraulic. Bump stop by king. More for esthetics, LOL.

Awesome flex! Nice build... I think you can do this for added income! #Sequoia help!

Hello... I want a small-scale solution to the problem of the ball joint and its frequent and dangerous fall. Thank you for that

Yeah, Tell me we're going off road but there is Snow.. Like I like to say.. HELL SNOW! lol Meaning I will not go because I hate the snow lol

LOL @ bluetooth CV

What is the "Plug"?

Are we there yet ? Jk

I also have a long travel sequoia. Id rather watch jeep videos with no music. One thing people do when content creating… they do too much. Music plus your voice over is 🤢… on top of the advertising as well… too much going on bud. Good luck
