Thanks for joining us! Enjoy!

Oh man, brings me back to 2007 when I had the same issue with my Sierra. I tried so many things. My buddy comes over, pops the hood, pulls the cable right off and says, "this is your problem..." After 2 days of getting rides to work, he fixed it in 30 seconds!!! I now NEVER undertighten battery cables!!! Lesson learned!! Lol!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

So true! It's been a good lesson to learn for sure!

[@HadrianBourdon]

Ah man the adventures you guys go on are incredible the quality of your videos is second to none! I dream that my videos will reach the quality and popularity your guys have! Your killing it!

[@vlogitroy7599]

Dont give up! The Walthalls are awesome 👌 !

[@828ADV]

Great video and new series. I love the drama of the battery. Seems like the most stressful emergencies end up being so simple when calmer heads prevail.

[@jdwedge8044]

43 years in the auto repair industry, that was a KISS moment , keep it simple stupid 😉

[@rundmm]

Happened before to me and the family on a long trip in our excursion. Connections seemed tight but were not. Finally found it when trying to jump the battery. Tightened the connector down and all went well after that. Good luck in your travels.

[@SnailTrail4x4]

Been there, simple answer for a possibility complicated problem. Keep it up, glad your making the best out of these times!

[@northerntrouble]

Clay, need to add check battery terminals on the pre trip service!!! Thanks again for a great video.🍻

[@ExpeditionOverland]

For sure!

[@david05111]

I've had that problem before. Thankfully, it wasn't in the middle of nowhere because I didn't have a second battery or jump box. Now, the first things I check on all cars that seem to be dead are the terminals. Sometimes you just have to end up in certain situations to find the simple solutions that aren't always obvious.

[@GhostRyder2008]

Ooh man that was some drama with the battery! That's why it's so important to have proper support equipment like the battery jumper, voltmeters, proper wrenches, etc. Glad the issue is fixed now!

[@lenorejgreed3189]

This guy is so unsure about everything. God bless

[@DBCoffroad]

Sweet opening drone shot!

[@OverlandPioneers]

Great series!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

[@ACEventure]

Had similar issue once on my start battery, but it was the other bolt in the positive lead, not the one on the battery clamp but the one that lets the clamp pivot.

[@antoniogutierrez4182]

The adventure begins when the plan falls apart, in this case I’m glad it didn’t but we’ve all been there!

[@thomasmullins1783]

Ive been in that situation before. Hope that was a permanent fix!

[@MyJeepStory]

Love the content as usual, but I’m looking forward to seeing a larger expedition as I feel like the Solo series avoids pushing limits as to not get in a situation that would require another vehicle. A couple additional hands to film and we’ll get some longer episodes too. 👀 I used to make popcorn and wait for the PanAmerican series.

[@azrwilkinson]

My experience with Toyota battery terminals is, replace them with Marine grade battery terminals. Toyota ones are cheap and flimsy. Marine grade are solid and make more contact with the battery post. Also the have slots available to attach accessories. Great video and good job on figuring out a solution.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Good to know, thanks!

[@davidzimmer2694]

Yeah that modified terminal for the dual battery setup was ah..different. LOL. Add this to the preflight checklist. And some basic battery/alternator function training.

[@JohnTheLuck3]

Great video. One thing of importance is when jumping a battery, connexions should be made Positive first on both ends, then Negative. This is a safety issue if a cable is dropped or get loose since the car chassis is on the negative side. If done as actually shown in the video, dropping the positive cable will result in a short circuit and risk of fire or explosion. This should be corrected on this video.

[@garyf2871]

I remembered when I started driving my papa always say ...what ever happens negative clamps should never be on by itself. "Always think positive 1st before thinking negative" as in life goes for jumping batteries too!

[@igorpeixotopaixaoporpeixes4721]

Expeditionoverland Esse vídeo é muito bom, PARABÉNS! Forte abraços! Tenha uma ótima SEMANA abençoada!🙏 bass fishing

[@StevelsCamping]

I've got a Genesis dual battery kit in my Jeep. I know you guys have different sponsors, I would really look at them. You wouldn't have had that problem.

[@rockstate45]

Excellent editing and videography as usual with the series. @expedition overland, why the change in format from the previous and successfully series like Alaska? Among the excellent videography, the early seasons (planning, adventure, offroading) are what set the XO group apart from many of the others on KZbin. Curious to hear your thoughts.

[@davect01]

I hope they did an alternator check as well

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Yes they did :)

[@garlandcisneros6991]

Ready

[@cooperbass6280]

me too

[@RobRedMedia]

The Slee aluminium terminal extensions are suspect. There are plenty of users that have this exact problem with that grp 31 kit.

[@verlanstephens3803]

What was the date of this episode? I'm trying to estimate snow levels for a trip this year.

[@joseexpeditocolaresfilho9908]

País : BRASIL 🇧🇷 Estado : Ceará Cidade : Fortaleza 👏👏👏👏👏

[@IRONMIKE_D]

That camo Hoodie. What brand is that ?

[@lenward474]

Clean,dielectric grease,tighten! With such high current you need big clean surface.

[@shawnmoehnke4891]

What jumper pack do you guys use for each if your vehicles?

[@bavarian11788]

Pretty sure it’s sequential not sport shifting. It is on my 4Runner at least.

[@matticusmac6452]

And rofl, the loose terminal, pretty sure all of us have dealt with that

[@ExploreWithIsaac]

been there more times than I care to admit...clean and tighten and be glad it wasn't something worse.

[@TandLAdventuresYT]

Is that a 360 camera mounted under the rear view mirror?

[@hotmechanicak]

Who flies the drone?

[@HighSchoolDropout96]

just fyi most if not all jump packs have a 12vo24ah or 12ah battery in them and you can buy the battery and some jumper cables for under $50 and save yourself some money

[@tylerranes9391]

I waaant this life! Lol

[@Tanner_Johnson]

11th! Yes one of the first to comment!

[@tonyurbina01-Truckee]

name of song at 5:00 please

[@WayneFairbrother]

Surprised that you're not set up to flick a switch and start using the aux battery? I guess jumper cables work fine, but is there a reason to not have that option. I have my dual battery system set up this way and it saved me once when I accidentally drained the starter battery.

[@samsonitte]

When on a trip with the family one of the things you should avoid saying is, "this isn't good" ,with the kids within ear-shot. Having a dead battery is not an easy problem to find a solution, but nice work finding a way around. That auxiliary battery was a life saver.

[@ronpaulssecretary]

Can't believe they said "we might die" in front of kids lol

[@FlatFrank]

Alternator wasn't charging the battery

[@seanalexander9373]

That battery issue was stressing me out.

[@RobertCarrizal]

you need for full length video land cruiser thank you

[@teng1165]

Kids don’t need to go school?

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Nope. They bought the "school pre-installed" version :) #summer
