Avoid These Rookie Mistakes - Overlanding Tips on How to Navigate Rock Obstacles - Practical Jokes

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

I’ve seen a tab like we had in the military for Ranger and special forces, that’s says THAT GUY

[@OverlandPNW]

Yeah, there's "That Guy" and there's also a "Regular Guy" one as well.

[@ConfusedGeriatric]

Love the banter and pranking, plus fantastic knowledge too. Cheers guys from Oz 🇦🇺👍

[@OverlandPNW]

Thanks 👍

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Ask for your money back Steve. You knew more than the teachers. 😂 Seriously though guys,a lot of good information here today. Thanks for the wisdom. Thanks for the laughs. 🙏💚😎

[@OverlandPNW]

Thanks Nas! We are just having some fun (and trying not to break our rigs ha ha). Cheers!

Great video, great accurate information. Student driver did pretty good😂!

Great video and looked like a fun time! Good thing you have rock sliders! I always enjoy your analysis on drive, it is very informative!

[@OverlandPNW]

Thanks for that comment! Waiting for your next video to come out!

[@kevinhines6066]

You guys have some great videos, and it looks like you're all having a lot of fun out there. And, honestly, you recalibrated my expectations of what a 4Runner is actually capable of doing... some of your trails are quite sporty! We're picking up our very first 4Runner sometime later this month, with my prior off-roading being done in either an old stock Jeep XJ or a 3/4 ton long bed diesel truck. Looking forward to seeing what the 4Runner can do for us!

[@OverlandPNW]

Thanks for the comment and congrats on the 4Runner! I think you will enjoy it. They are really are versatile rigs. You can off-road one weekend and then use it for a family trip or a home project the next weekend. Cheers!

[@underthelibertytree712]

Nice video and great low rent humor!

[@AZOverland2017]

6:08 "Famous KZbinr ATTACKED on camera! ASSAULTED on the trail!" 19:27 I absolutely love how Sam is warning you of the potential danger on other side of the rock while Steve goads you to "Get up here. Gas!" Looks like a fun day out on the rocks. Props for conquering that rock wall!

[@OverlandPNW]

Ha ha the goading from Steve while Sam was warning me was one of my favorite parts when I first watched the raw footage! Thanks for that comment!

What’s High Desert Overland? Not familiar with it.

@@aired-downoverland9239 Big overland meetup in the Christmas Valley area. Charles from ADVwithRoscoe, Casey from Coyote Works, Austin from Raidho, myself and some others have been working to put it together. Expecting something like 100-200 rigs. We'll see how close we get to that in this post-COVID world. I have a bunch of details in my most recent video. Should be a good time.

[@aired-downoverland9239]

@@RevN3 Just watch the vid, great info. I’ll chat with my brother and see if we can make it work. Thx 🙌

You and Roscoe have done a great job growing the High Desert Overland event. I remember watching last year's video. At this rate, next year you'll have live bands and overland vendors!!

[@RevN3]

@@OverlandPNW Ha! At that point I think I'd bail out. I just like hanging out with a bunch of overlanders, making new friends and seeing old ones.

[@grandeoverland6787]

LOL! I keep a couple of those magnets in my ride at all times in case one of my friends (or myself) ends up being "that guy".

He’s ok, I guess 😂

[@dynamicphotography_]

Awesome video! Good tips with entertaining pranks. Lol. I'm curious about those boots. I'm ready to replace my Solomon's.

[@OverlandPNW]

Thanks! The boots are legit. Its a pain for me to find boots I like. These were good right out of the box. No sponsorship, no commission. I'd tell you if I did not like them.

They look awesome!

[@wyomingjeepers]

Love the prank! The rock gardens are nice... You guys look like you have a lot of fun. - I am interested... Your son bought a jeep? Not a Toyota man? haha

[@OverlandPNW]

Yes, my son has a jeep but he also has a fully built out Toyota Tacoma. He decides which to take depending on the trip particulars.

[@TheLittlered1961]

Loved the video neighbor. Great advice. The only problem is what everyone seems to forget. Most of the vehicle is protected one way or another, MINUS THE DRIVE SHAFT. Pardon the language, screw the body, the drive shaft is one of the most important and unprotected parts of the vehicle. Eyes must be on that. Another part that is unprotected is the engine oil pan. You would think that there is no way for anything to hit that. My dad did. I was, like how the heck did he do that. I almost did the same. I saw a Jeep CJ with massive lift and 40" tires take out his oil pan. Do not just watch where the tires go, but also watch where the soft underbelly will be.

[@OverlandPNW]

Great points my friend. I've had some heinous tree branches get caught up in the drive shaft. I'll try to add those points into a future video. Thanks.

[@TheLittlered1961]

@@OverlandPNW Tree branches are the least of the problems. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDPpGOvq511p5I I have seen this on videos time and time again. Thank god it has yet to happen to me.

What is the set up for your 4 runners, as far as height and tire size, I am a student driver but soon want to hit some good trails and not the mud here in Ocala Florida

[@OverlandPNW]

Both 4Runners have a 2 1/2 to 3 inch lift with 34 inch tires. Seems to be the sweet spot for us. Cheers!

[@Jordan.4x4]

3:43 these tires are lifted due to IFS. Not driver

My rock sliders are CBI rock sliders. The company is CBI Offroad Fab. They have been great.

When there is no lockers, we learned to use left foot breaking when one will is spinning and the other is not.

[@OverlandPNW]

Yes, that's a good tip I probably should have mentioned. If you have the old hand level emergency brake, you can also use that for the rear axle. Thanks for adding that comment!
