That little Rav4 is wicked cool! Good to see your truck getting after it too. Hope we get to see more of your Baja 1000 coverage, looked rad!

[@FrankBurgos]

Wicked cool! Where you from friend?

Short wheel base, reliable and light. Perfect really.

[@TFJ4runner]

I see plenty of water depth measuring sticks conveniently placed all around that water obstacle.

[@petarninov5257]

I was screaming the same thing while watching 😂😂😂

[@jeremyb4493]

Yeah, especially one of them seemed surprisingly hesitant about even checking the depth lol. Credit to Larry for being the trailblazer

[@Turshin]

I mean, how deep can a puddle get in the desert 🏜

[@spindrift2719]

@@Turshincheck out mats off-road recovery one puddle swallowed a half ton truck lol

[@datsun4x]

​@@Turshin it depends on the time of year. That crossing can get a few feet deep at times.

[@cruiserpat96]

Awesome content, Larry! When spotting someone up an obstacle, use "driver and passenger" as opposed to "left or right" to avoid confusion.

[@cartwheels4amile]

Such wholesome content, just playing around on the trail with your boys. This is what the hobby is all about! I'm glad you got to experience how amazing Afton Canyon is. The Mojave Desert is a very beautiful place, and we're lucky to have it right in our backyard.

[@Krnnerdboy]

Pretty rad seeing papadakis offroading. I grew up watching him in the late 90s breaking records for fwd cars when i used to have a 90 accord w/an h22 swap running 15s. Now i have a few 911s and a 430 scuderia. However, offroading is what i love doing most currently in my raptor and hemi swapped jk. Keep it up Larry

[@nickt9467]

Larry, I love your photography and your storytelling, but this is one of my favorite videos of yours for some time. Each crazy build you shoot is unique and so much credit is due to the builders who breathe life back into stories long forgotten. However, this was you guys just being, in a beautiful corner of the country, having fun with the kids. Thanks for sharing p.s. lockers bro, c'mon now

[@aconfusedazn]

Wholesome content, Larry! Love how you’re getting the next generation involved!

[@andrewbroadfort6856]

"I brought Starlink" is the greatest "car culture" flex one first world person can make.

[@scottmaz4063]

Omg larry what a great thing to do with your friend and sons. It is absolutely beautiful scenery. Great video loved it.

[@cory5197]

God. I want a 2 door RAV4 so badddd

[@James_cowley]

That is an amazing road! I’ve done it twice now, once in a stock LR3 and once in a stock forester xt. Both on 3 day trips.

[@jvogler_art4708]

Love Mojave. Never been on the trail but there are 1000s of miles of trails to explore and very private places to camp. my favorite being near the aqueduct. Such beautiful land. Shame a lot of it is closing down. I used to ride dirtbikes there with my family as a kid. That rav 4 is truly impressive. Can’t wait to put some shocks on my 3rd gen 4runner so i can do stuff like this.

[@johnmac609]

This is rad. Also, my parents got me the print of magnus in the 930 at sunrise in LA. Looks quite dope in my office in a black wood frame. Thank you. The ken block sliding the hoonicorn on pikes peak is next!

[@sizzlacalunji]

Thanks for this video. It was great going on the journey with you guys. Was always drag racing in my younger days but now with a SUV I get an itch every now and then to find a trail 😂.

[@sickjohnson]

Looks like the kids were having a blast Larry & Steph...awesome!

[@JDMEXforme]

The 2 doors are ugly. The 4 door looks like a completed design. Cool build though.

[@sickjohnson]

Looks are always subjective of course, and the wide angle lens is not kind or a true representation either...

[@aleppo1]

@@JDMEXformeYou really expect a compact, inexpensive, economy SUV to look gorgeous?

[@JDMEXforme]

@@aleppo1 the 4 door version is gorgeous. The 2 door always felt like an incomplete design maybe because it's stubby. There was a guy with a white 1st Gen 4 door Rav4. Swapped with the 3S GTE. With dark colored wheels. I can't find his channel on KZbin anymore. But that thing was a beauty.

[@aleppo1]

@@JDMEXforme Fair enough I read your comment as if you were saying the 4 door is only a little better, but still ugly. Sorry.

[@tjadventures]

Really nice video and really beautiful cars and scenery. I love the daddys-sons adventure!

[@johngray9702]

Awesome video, thank you

[@Hackbarthja]

You are the coolest dad! Your child will remember moments like these forever, so cool!

[@nathanchildress5596]

1st Gen Ravs are so great. Mine's a 4 door I got for free, the paint is torched, but I love it and I drive it like an idiot. They won't really offroad without a lot of work, but they're such great cars.

[@4WDisLife]

it is awesome to see the LARRY CHEN is running the same truck as mine, except for being modded even more. Great stuff! Love the color too.

[@brettsimon2268]

Very wholesome! Nice truck I am a tundra guy myself

[@dhyatt2403]

I love to do something like this with my kids if I ever get any in the future great watch Larry!!

[@TheUnexpectedOffRoad]

So awesome looks like you guys had such a fun time!!

[@kj64gaming19]

Its always funny to watch less experienced drivers go off-road, especially when giving callouts. "left, left, no right, no, your right, my left, no go the other way" "Driver" and "passenger" can never go wrong.

[@edwinnazario8112]

Seriously when you went up that hill, crap i knew the Tundra would make it but that little Rav surprised me.

[@bwest6275]

This trip was so cool to watch 👍

[@erg0101]

Cool video! I love the pictures! 💪🏽😎

[@jGamboa78]

so dope. Always wanted to do this trail

[@kkkevv224]

I was building a lifted 1999 crv turbo awd 5spd but I lowered it since I'm not near any cool mountain trail areas. would be a nice duo with the rav4.

[@TheRealEnrique1]

Dude I’m love with a RAV4 😂😂 never in life did I anticipate typing that

[@chir0pter]

Stephan should definitely try installing a water-methanol injection system! Cools the intake charge while also boosting octane, a great fit for a handy hobbyist and a turbo race gas engine

[@shirolee]

That RAV4 is so cool!!! Hahahaha. I forgot how small those things were

[@olaberggren2595]

Great video 👍

[@paweszczepanski6738]

I watched the equivalent video on Stephs channel, wish he posted more. What a guy

[@jlsgarage872]

Awesome video but after all that power don't yall think you would get front and rear lsd/ lockers?

[@zvonimirkrajina2211]

Two city guys and their young children decide to cross a treacherous desert in their non diff lock having cars. This has ALL the qualities of a pitch for a horror movie.

[@arnicus208]

That is NOT how you cross an unknown water obstacle! Throughout the video, your hair is EPIC! Well done.

[@chewdoobautomotivedetailtm2883]

Here in New England ya can ride them ATV/sleds, but they're registered to the state with a plaque from the DMV.. and or ya regular SUV state trails.

[@TheShutterPapi]

Papa's face as he decides whether to roll the dice on the obstacle or not is so relatable.

[@Terminxman]

I swear tf god I'll take my 21 f150 out there with basic 4wd and rear locker and none of that would even be a challenge

[@randomguyontheinterweb]

I really wanted to do a Celica GT four swap on my Rav 4 back in the day. Had money saved it all planned out, and the universe had other plans

[@SawtoothPerformance]

Did you save that trail on OnX? It would be cool to be able to do some of the exact trails that you do.

[@FrankBurgos]

This trail looks fun.

[@sockrabbtt]

this is sick!

[@blkmoon5596]

Awesome run guys!!!!! What load rating are you running on your tires?

[@Skiridr22]

I’m loving the RAV4

[@TM-jt3oz]

Would the drift tC make it if you lifted it and swapped to rally wheels and offroad tires?

[@danmurphy1994]

That rav4 is my all time favorite vehicle bar none.

[@A92_]

Looked like so much fun.

[@Heyitscristian]

Need more off-roading content with the tundra!!

[@skateinspace]

larry is such an offroad newb but hes having fun!

[@Warbeaver]

Did the Rav4 has his centre diff locked for that bumpy climb part?

[@commiato]

98 Ron is 93 octane

[@sebyylove]

This trail is awesome

[@Suhwoop]

Rav4 putting in work!

[@naveedc7]

Never really wanted a suv til I saw that rav4 🤩

[@CorradoRacer]

Tux for sharing🍻🍻

[@alanstorm6915]

I like your videos but the end is my favorite part. That beat/tune is fkn bada$$. I got goosebumps the first time I heard it. 😎😎👍👍

[@kkkevv224]

RAV4 POWER that was so sick

[@SonkeiBlueSocial]

That’s awesome!!!

[@paddywiggle]

That tiny offroad rav is my new dream car

[@badstimpy]

Quick tip - keep your thumbs on outside of steering wheel - if you tag a rock or stump etc - the steering can swing violently enough to snap your thumb and possibly break it . 👍 👍 😞

[@raymondsoutherland86]

Love that we found out Larry shoots guns.

[@calebbrown2983]

Heheeee that little rav4 is so funny I love it

[@kelvinarreola]

that mic doing work with all that wind!

[@happyguy4525]

What's the song called at the bery end. I tried Shazam, but no luck.

[@PatricioGarcia1973]

3:01 Private right of way? i thought the road was federal or state owned

[@chewdoobautomotivedetailtm2883]

RAV needs a ram air snorkel

[@davemarcelle2437]

Man line💪🏿

[@joebrodie]

What great fun and memories with your son.

[@yeahman1756]

ha! that trail course should be easy money for that tundra and rav4.. We take Stock 3rd gen 4runners on 31 mud terrains and Lifted RD1 Crv with Ebay Cast iron manifold turbo kit b20 on way worst course than that where only usually SXS and Dirt bikes goes.. Zip ties and copper cable wires.. always comes in hand lol... and a wire cutter..

[@cheesepizza87]

Maybe your best content

[@davidevans1128]

I thought that was a stock Turbo 3SGTE with only 165 h.p ? Where did he achieve 300 h.p.? Just curious 👍

[@NeonPablo76]

Awesome

[@feral4mr2]

God damn! I'd love that tundra down here in Australia! But in white. haha

[@sebyylove]

Very cool

[@mochabear88]

very cool

[@maxattacks25]

I really wanna see how the magnuson affects the longevity of the 5.7. Part of me really wants to put a supercharger on my 3.5, but value the engine’s longevity above all.

[@ChaseBond11]

I have the same dilemma, but rest assured... that transmission is gonna give out before the engine. 50k miles and I'm already worried about mine. I know 3 others, locally, that needed new tranny's before 60k.

[@leskobrandon538]

I've found Spanish silver reale's and US silver dimes, trimes and Silver dollars near the Government road called "Mojave Road"

[@PBwarrior22]

Awesome Tundra!!! What fender flare/gaurds are those? I like how slim they are! :)

[@JohnBrowningsGhost]

he has a long travel kit with 3 inch fiberglass fenders

😂 so true

[@alexismerced2981]

Awesome 😎

[@trdrockwarrior_sport4432]

is that barstow area????

[@HaHaThatIsFunny]

That beeping at 7:05 confused me. It sounds just like my microwave. Thought I put something in and forgot about it for about 3 beeps😂

[@lonetrader1]

That would be a tennis ball my dude. 🎾

[@jackcobbiii1797]

Sunoco sells race fuel in five gallon tins if you have one around. ;)

[@craigdonalson4634]

there is a book called the mojave road guide that is a by the 10th of a mile history lesson of the 1860 stage coach road called the mojave road. at the fort sites you can still see the wagon ruts left in the 1860's

[@Josh-zy3lq]

I clicked on this video and was pleasantly surprised with Papadakis 😭

[@whatfleshmeanstoskeleton]

Up the rav4!!!!

[@OGRadGrow]

Nice 👍🏾💯

[@ConscientiousObserver]

Not sure what part of California you're from but if you Google "100 octane fuel near me" there are quite a few options in Southern California

[@DRAAAGONEARZ]

YESSSSSSSSSSS 👽👊

[@patmald]

The kids having a blast and getting destroyed by the rc is hilarious

[@Mr.Zanderson]

Legit.

[@kanalunuifpv6395]

Racing legend Stephan Papadakis

[@BlackJeepConvertible]

When I was 15 I thought I was going turbocharge that rav4 when I grow up lol

[@agustinhidalgo405]

Rav 4 with lockers and long arm set up would be titts!!!

[@soulsurfer8797]

A wet pair of legs will dry, a wet motor without a snorkel is 10-20 hours of work in the garage to repair. Always walk a crossing. Walking a crossing also test the bottom for the ability to hold your vehicle.

[@CG-yh6js]

99 octane in Japan is around the 93 american octane mark.
