I just came back from a trip through Southern California and starlink allowed us to have signal in every location, no matter how remote. Definitely a game changer.
You've put together one of the best 3rd gen Tundra builds so far. Congrats and keep up the solid content. The 3rd generation Tundra is one of the first vehicles in many years to have me contemplating if I should move on from my 80 series.
@@RevereOverland they are very different. The 80 is staggeringly good on difficult routes. The Tundra would be vastly more practical day to day with extra room in the right places for those 3 to 4 week excursions I enjoy at least a few times a year. To be honest I don't think I'll ever let the 80 go entirely. If anything it'll be "retired" to harder trails and weekenders.
Am a 3rd Gen 4runner, 2nd Gen Tundra 1794 TRD And LANDCRUISER 200 SERIES HERITAGE EDITION FANBOY and I never ever liked the 3rd Gen Tundra. This Particular Build however has me eating crow. The Front Bumper mode drastically transformed this Truck into a Warrior. I also love the communications gear.
at the start of the video , I looked at the thumbnail like "who the hell neeeds a off road tundra?". then the second I heard your voice , I knew EXACTLY who needed an offroad tundra !
I'm impresed of your videos and I think People Who would like to go overlanding should follow your videos to learn by you. I cannot go overlanding because of a neckin jury, but I have done a lot of driving like overlanding during my work when I was younger before I got my neckinjury. Good Luck.
That truck looks a lot better with your front end mods. I think you definitely made all the right choices there, as the ginormous grille is partially hidden behind mean yet lean bumpers, and you get a winch mount that helps all of the above, too.
I love what you have done with your Tundra! I'm replacing my really old Tundra with a new one have it modified for overlanding so I can start my adventures since I will be semi-retired in 2023. I will be traveling and working in between my bike rides and more remote adventures. Thanks, new sub here and soon new Tundra owner
Thank you so much for this very detailed video. I'm in the process of building mine. I won't go to deep like you have but I definitely look forward to what I can do with this truck. Thank you
The set up on this rig is rock solid, good job! The cost for everything has to be north of $25,000 if you paid full price, I have a feeling you didn't. The only thing I think I would ad is an awning and some airbags for the rear depending how heavy your typical loadout is and possibly some kind of solar set up, regardless it's pretty legit, I like it. Thanks for your videos
Thankfully I was able to work with several companies or have them use my truck for test fitting, so was able to get a lot of stuff discounted or free. The back load is pretty consistent, and I don’t tow, so I haven’t found the need for airbags yet. An Rugged Bound 270 awning arrived last week, and I should be getting some solar soon!
Just RU-vid. I got lucky with the housing market, which helped get the truck. Some mods were paid for by selling my 4Runner, some were given in exchange for me providing the truck for R&D, and a few were just because of RU-vid.
She's coming together very nicely. One day maybe I'll treat myself to something like this 🙏 I can't help but wince when I hear you lads stateside saying 16 mpg is decent 😆 I get about 28 out of my range rover and it still pains me 😁🏴
For some reason the US gallon is smaller than the rest of the world, so it's about 19mpg when converted. Still not amazing when compared to your 28, but it helps that the petrol here is half the price!
@@RevereOverland You'd be $9.16 per US Gallon for diesel round my way using a rough conversion. Sad times. But as some have said its all about the fun per gallon and you make excellent videos Rob and I look forward to them very much. Take care.
Awesome build, great video. Always a gamble with issues on a new model vehicle. But compared to the issues Ford, Chevy, dodge, and everyone else is having with recalls and quality control the tundras issues seem relatively minor... the lack of tow hooks on the stock frontend is most people's biggest gripe.
as long as you're still getting good FPG (fun per gallon)... it's all good.. the Blue Taco build looks great so far..any more travel collabs with other adventure seekers in the future? the TSTN episode was fun to watch..cheers!
That color/wrap is gorgeous, nice build and loving the adventures! I was a SPOT customer for years since they got started, but they continually stuck it to customers and had poor customer service. Compared to the InReach service I wouldn't trust SPOT with my life now.
I've never had issues with the messaging etc., but their customer service is abysmal. I've been looking at the Somewhere Labs version since it allows unlimited messaging.
Great looking 4WD. I'm a big fan of the Tundra/Sequoia. If toyota sold the Tundra here in Australia, it'll sell well. I've noticed fully enclosed tubs are not popular in the US. Here in Australia, most overlanders with utes (aka pick-ups) ditch their tubs and get a fully enclosed rear canopy setup (or get a tub canopy). But I've started to see the rear tub racks (like you've got) on some utes here. I think it won't be long before they catch on and become mainstream option.
I've heard rumors it might make its way over! The rear canopy setups are just starting to make their way over here, and we have a few options from some Australian companies. I really like them!
@@RevereOverland I hope you're right, as the local automotive journalists have been saying that for the past 10 yrs. But so far only the RAM/TRX & Silverado have come across. We're still waiting for the F-150/Raptor, Titan, and Tundra.🤞
It looks really good, I like the color! And people, full size trucks = crap mpgs! lol, if you’re asking about gas mileage on an overland full size truck, it isn’t for you 😂 with that said, I get excited when I hit 18 mpgs on the highway in my Ram Rebel.
So nothing with Navigation or internet connection or gps usage is interrupted that you’ve experienced that’s awesome. About how much of your cab is covered by the tent? Ours is 91” long and a clam shell model. So it will cover about a foot and a half of the cab over the top if we go with the 5.5’ bed.
I've only used the truck's navigation about 5 times, but didn't notice any issues. I typically use CarPlay instead. The built in internet works just fine with the tent up there. I don't remember how much it hung over, and unfortunately can't check since I don't have this tent anymore.
Rob I just found your videos totally by accident. I find them very helpful and easy to understand. I am a 70 years old woman getting ready to hit the road and see the beauty of this country. I bought an electric blanket but I will not have any diesel or propane heater in my Toyota RAV4. I am very fearful of fires. I read somewhere that you should not have propane inside but butane is safe. Is there a butane heater? My stove is a butane also. Please advise me. Thank you and keep up the good work!
“You’re my boy Blue!” Sorry, can’t help myself. I like how everything is working out on the build. Currently in a GFC, but if I did it again probably go with a mash up between your bed build and LLOD with maybe the Diamondback tonneau to keep gear secure and the dust down.
@@jeepncj7 No not at all, at least until I’ve given it a chance. I have the platform camper. If I were to get into more aggressive overlanding situations, terrain; I would want to be a little lower to the ground. That’s where my head goes.
@@ninez5740 That makes sense as far as keeping the weight lower. Was curious if there were any drawbacks for the GFC platform. It's on the short list for my next build so it's good to hear how people receive it.
I struggled with the color for a long time. It had to be bright so it showed up on camera/drone, but red is already an option and I wanted something different.
Can you show the roof rack with the panoramic sunroof from the inside looking up? Without boxes preferably too? Would be curious how it looks and functions when I’m not needing to pack the roof rack for daily driving and not on a trip. 21:40
Great video. I've been wondering how much was available yet aftermarket wise for the new Tundra. I have a 2020 Tako and a 2018 Tundra and I'm looking to add the 2022 to the fleet to begin a build out. I may have to wait a year; no rear bumper armor is a really big no no for me. I don't off road without bumper-to-bumper armor.
the only thing i hate about the tundra is the front look.. that long ugly bumper with that grill drive me nuts every time i see it . Finally yours is the first tundra i see where u chop that thing off made me so happyyyyy and the truck looks so great now in terms of aesthetics...
Awesome look on that truck. I know this video is old but if you see this, could you say what the wrap cost you? I know prices might be different now but just curious. Thanks!
Awesome phase II: Is the 10HP per sticker measured at the wheel? HA - Love the blue and happy for you on this build. Is it common practice to re-gear full size trucks or at least Toyota's? I would imagine that there is a lot of torque left on the table from OEM/stock to what you have done to the rig.
Lol! With 35s it's not really necessary since it handles them with ease. Even with 37s it has a ton of power still, but you'd probably want to consider it then.
Sure you can! You have all the same sensors and cameras as me, and the bumpers work with all of them. The only thing you might have different is the AVS. You can do the Westcott lift in the rear and Dobinsons in the front.
Nice 3rd gen Tundra, wish I could get 14mpg with my 2nd gen 😂I seem to be around 12 mpg all around only if I'm towing will it go lower, but it never goes any higher.
We’ll made video and love the build. Do you regret not having the 6.5 bed? That’s what I ordered buy don’t plan on heavy off-roading I have the rzr for that
Love the Blue Man!!,👍👍 it's very easy for the Search & Rescue helicopter to spot you!, if you break down?, get lost?, get off the mark trails?, (or make your own trails) etc.!!🧐🧐🧐
very nice , cant wait for the new sequoia , TRD pro or trd off road just wish it came in a more basic utilitarian model not lot of luxury bits and a 3rd row delate would be nice , have no need or want a 3rd row I want payload for my car camper -overlander
@@RevereOverland like lower trim level trd off road price point ,than add what I want , I like the short wb of the seqoiua , cargo bay , just wish the 3rd row was gone from the factory on trd pro is the one I want we will never use the 3rd row have to remove it
The Sirius reception is occasionally interrupted, but that's it. After the trial was up I quit using it anyway, so not a big deal. No cameras are blocked by the tent being up over the roof!
Just ordered this front bumper set up based on your review alone! Does it work well with the front camera? If you can make a snippet video on that it’d be awesome but I just subscribed and I look forward to seeing more videos from you on the Tundra!
@@RevereOverland awesome thank you for the information, I know I’ll be happy with it! Keep up the great work with your videos! I definitely enjoy them and they have opened me up to a lot of new products!
very well thought out. would love to get into overloading at some point. you'd be the perfect 'general contractor' to help anyone get set with upgrades to their Tundra. Speaking of that, I'm curious your thoughts on the Trailhawk model of Tundra....and options that are available straight thru Toyota.
No offense Intended but it looks so much better now. The front of those trucks is just hideous stock. I really don't get Toyotas current design where you could literally band saw a foot off the front of the truck and not harm a vital component.
Anything I've modified won't be covered. For example, they wouldn't cover my CV joints because of the lift, or the parking sensors because of the bumper. They'll still cover engine and transmission unless they can prove my modifications are what caused the issue.
So far the wrap has held up better than the paint. It doesn't seem to scratch where the paint would. I've just got to make sure I don't tear it! I don't know, and don't want to know! Lol
It's definitely putting weight on the front to the point where you might notice some sag. You can always switch the springs out for some that are more heavy duty.
I’m happy with the 5.5ft bed. The larger one would definitely be more useful, but the truck is long enough already! I’m sure the hybrid would be awesome.
