Stranded on the Trail in Arizona 

Thanks! I have a random assortment of bolts that I carry, and I think I'll be adding more. Just two days ago I had to use 2 of my spare M8 bolts!

Yeah I think a lot of people were!

@@RevereOverland not me because I know you have the 5.7

@@PopeAstro that is incorrect. This 2022 Tundra does not have the 5.7L V8. It has the 3.4L twin-turbo V-6.

@@erod6468 😳

He certainly is! It's very rewarding traveling with him. I'm out filming for the next few weeks, so it's hard getting stuff edited! Look for weekly content in the fall!

Thankfully it doesn't happen too often. I know Ozark Overland Adventures recently got stranded, and just last year The Story Till Now was stuck with me on the same route!

It definitely makes a story!

Yikes, that sounds like a difficult trip! I'm glad you were able to get it all taken care of though!

Lol!

It could have been a whole lot worse.

Lol! I didn’t know any better. That being said, I think I’d rather break it close to town rather than have it break on me somewhere else!

Yeah I have similar aluminum knuckles on my 2015 Cherokee TH, I feel the pain

Yeah it's crazy that they do that. Give me steel!

Hopefully with a torque wrench lol

@@RevereOverland - Yes, and witness marked.

Thanks!

Thanks! It did the job!

Lol it does!

Torque wrench and random bolts!

Thank you!

@@davidcolinstillman5585 “Somebody” should’ve made sure the bolt hadn’t failed in the first place.

Thank goodness for iPads!

Random assortment of bolts and washers, electrical tape, duct tape, zip ties, a paint pen, scissors, safety jack, whatever the Harbor Freight torque wrench was, breaker bar, and all the standard sockets and wrenches. The impact is just a small Dewalt. It's not very powerful, but I break and torque by hand anyway!

@@RevereOverland right on! Thx for the deets! Cheers! 👊🏼. Good to see you last week. 🎉

Yeah it set me back a good 4 days, but it happens. My son still had a great time!

It’s a Step 22 tool roll. I didn’t video on the bag, but not the contents. Really it’s just standard sockets etc. - the most useful thing is the random assortment of nuts and bolts that I carry!

We started just outside of Phoenix in the last video

Space. The Safejack takes up a fraction of the space a floor jack does.

It’s Cascadia 4x4. I don’t recommend it.

Yeah that’s on the list!

Yeah the spec seems really high

I do prefer to travel with a friend, but unfortunately our schedules don't always line up, and I need to film content! Thankfully my wife was staying nearby, so there's that backup.

I said it both ways because I know how the RU-vid comments are

Thankfully I missed the monsoon rain! Sounds like it could have been sketchy. I get those comments on every video within seconds of it publishing. I'm not sure what they hope to achieve, but it's gotta be some kind of scam/phishing

It seemed really high to me too, so I did double check! Summit 4x4 confirmed too.

You're talking decades before that happens with your average camper. If you camp out 5 weeks a year and use it every single night, it'll be 17 years before you drop to 80% of the original capacity.

Just a friend doing the repairs on a gravel driveway right before I left. He offered to cover the costs, but I declined since he didn’t particularly want to do the repair and was doing me a favor.

​@@RevereOverlandI thought you said it was in a shop, makes more sense why it happened now. Bummer, hopefully everyone will be a little more careful with aluminum threads next time...heck, I don't start any bolt with anything other than hand tools, learned that lesson a few times.

You must have been fast since you still managed to beat one of the bots!

@@RevereOverland Wild

Payson is beautiful! I wish I could have finished that trail, but it didn't work out!

It is

It’s called Lone Pine Divide on OnX

The bug mesh is surprisingly effective at stopping toddlers too! As long as he’s occupied, he’s pretty content to stay in there.

@@RevereOverlandor I mean do you lock the zippers together in some way so he doesn’t open them and try to climb out? I have a rooftop tent and an adventurous toddler. I’ve considered using some binder rings to make sure he doesn’t try and climb out in the middle of the night while we’re sleeping.

I don’t, but thankfully my guy hasn’t tried to open them! Maybe some small carabiners?

I put the wheel under as backup

@@RevereOverland - That’s a great idea! Thanks

It has sensors, but I'm not sure they can pick up power lines. I just don't fly close to them just in case!

THANK YOU FOR GETTING BACK TO ME 🙏 WHEN EVERYONE'S CHILDREN GET BIGGER / OLDER THEY WILL APPRECIATE ALL THE LIFE VIDEOS, JUST LIKE ALL THE CAMERA PICS WHEN OURS WERE GROWING UP HOPEFULLY ? 🙏

Duh? It’s where I got the truck fixed.

A lot of brands, including Jeep, use aluminum steering knuckles.

@@RevereOverland Agreed. Toyota is following the path of all the other manufacturers of cheapening their own product. More breakdowns = More money.

Bad CV joint at 61k miles. I'm not gentle on it. I think I ran it lifted too high in the front for a month or so, which probably made it go bad sooner.

@RevereOverland I also am not easy on my truck. 156,000 miles on original CV's. From spinning all 4 tires on ice on fin n things in Moab, spinning all 4 tires in sand in logandale trails, NV, to multiple 4wd launches in dirt. All at greater than stock CV angles.

@@1FiftyOverland yeah, but I ran it far too high in the front for a month or so. I probably put 4-5k miles on it with them overextended.

@@RevereOverland what's too high?

Yeah lol

They have aluminum steering knuckles now!

Yeah they were FLYING

I found out it was bad right before I was due to leave!

You’re not trying very hard

The only ones I know of are the Icon ones, and they require 20" wheels

I wasn’t under the vehicle without the wheel there under it as backup

I agree with that. A castle nut design would be much safer.

@@Tiovergudo In all fairness, I live in that desert, although further south. The terrain is brutal. Bolts get rattled out, and even welds break.

@@gostakount7383 better designs are out there specially for suspension components.

The bots? I have no clue what's going on with them

Not really. If my engine has made it to 66k miles while starved of oil, I'll be very impressed. It has also only affected 0.3% of the engines produced at the time of the recall. If it happens, it happens. It'll suck, but I'll be covered thanks to the recall.

It’s what a lot of vehicles use these days. Even Jeep.

@@RevereOverland Exactly, and Jeep is having problems with them, even in stock form. I thought Toyota was smarter then that. I own several Toyotas, 1st gen Tundra, 4th gen 4runner, and 1st gen Tacoma. Even own a 05 Jeep Rubicon LJ

Its a mistake. he chose to be in the middle of nowhere with a kid. Should toyota be held liable for a axle that broke after 61k?

⁠we're talking about completely different things

Since I’m not American, I probably won’t do that, but the Tundra is more American made than the F150.

Lol! They are partially “assembled” in Baja Californian aka Mexico as well. You realize that every time someone with half a brain sees one of those flags on a Japanese truck we laugh out loud. Well at least I do. And let’s not forget that all the revenue goes? But hey, what ever makes you sleep well at night

@@dwoodinnyc again, I’m not American, so don’t particularly care, but I’m all for sharing the facts. The Tundra is designed in Michigan, assembled in Texas, and the engine is built in Alabama. It has more US components and assembly than the F150. The average vehicle profits are around 6%, and the biggest chunk of the cost is materials and manufacturing. To keep money in the US you are far better off buying a Honda, Toyota, etc. that’s made in the US than you are buying a GMC, Ford, etc. made in Mexico or Canada. In fact, if you really care about keeping money in the US, you’d be driving a Tesla. If you’ve gotta have a truck bed, the Honda Ridgeline is your choice.

Too small and underpowered

wait til you find out the entire engine, transmission, and transfer case are aluminum... and worst of all the wheels! Riding on aluminum wheels the horror! 😆

Aluminum wheels!? 😱

Guess I'll just stay home

Didn't know they had "woke" in Japan 😂

Woke?

Don’t need to explain to sheeps. Please do your own research. I’m not a reliable source. They build it bc you buy it.

@@alanwrobleski Woke is everywhere.
