The Fj Cruiser Annual Spring Off Road Shakedown Trip
The time of the year has arrived! The Spring Equinox has come and brought warm nights with it. I am headed to the border of Colorado and Utah to explore a new area and to get the Fj Cruiser ready for an upcoming overland adventure that I need to be fully prepared for! As we travel the mountains I am pondering my next vehicle, and listening for squeaks and rattles on the current one! Thanks for coming along, now lets get out there!

Quick tip to check if anyone is heading your way is to do a call out on the radio (on the channel that’s most used by 4x4s in your area).
@rafterwhomestead
@rafterwhomestead Год назад
Good idea on taking the new vehicle out and shaking things out in stock form. As I've modified vehicles more and more, I've found that there is good reason for the way things are from the factory and that way more money was spent on the engineering and testing stock components than you could ever spend on aftermarket parts. Expensive aftermarket is expensive for the very same reason, engineering expenses and R&D.

Just discovered your channel and subscribed! Please don't let the success ruin your amazing videos and commentaries. Longtime overlanders like Venture 4WD and Coyote Works lost their way and succumbed to their notoriety. They lost the soul of what got them started in the first place, and I left their stories in the delete pile. Stay humble. Stay appreciative of nature. Stay safe and always seek the horizon!
@IndependenceOverland

We did live in the US for a few years Massachusetts while that evil pandemic was going on, so didn’t get too do all the stuff thought we may in that time. But on day will get back a explore some more, your dog is super chilled out we have a GSD that is a full on working line. Anyway really enjoy your videos just seem real life more than others, nice going go steady.

Loved our FJ while we had it. so many family adventures. long distance and local yocal stuff. the go anywhere (I wanted it to) vehicle. Reliable. 4x4 trails river crossing, or costco trip for a months worth of food. kids to school, and a trip to the hills is a good daily routine. Miss it so much. sold it (huge profit for what we spent) bought a tesla Y. No regrets, but the Tesla cant do the 4x4 trails, sad, but hey no regrets, I plan to get another FJ soon. Rock on!. Great vid, thank you for sharing. -JM

Fun fact, my brother in law is a huge part of model Ys existence. He is a major part of the development of the alloy used to produce the back half of the vehicle and the alloy is even nicknamed after him internally. It’s made like die-cast toy car, which is pretty challenged to do due to the part being so large. Teslas are cool!

@beam3250

Great content. Feels like sitting by the campfire with you. It seems you have said goodby to the FJ. You carry a lot of stuff and the FJ seems heavy loaden. Do not get bigger for more overkill. You will turn around one time and get lighter/smaller. I do not know any vehicle on the sweetspot of capability/reliability/lightweight. But maybe one can tell me
@IndependenceOverland
