always stoked when you upload. Not often you find chill youtubers with entertaining long form content who don't feel like they're putting on a facade personality. Cheers brother.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Cheers, and thank you!

[@Miata_dood]

Couldn’t agree more !

[@Blindbat1337]

I died at "I got the dogs hidden.. you gotta pay for those". Love it!

[@user-id2mh7cm3i]

No sneak peaks 😞

[@DoubleAYotas]

You're a brave man! This is exactly how a horror movie starts.... facts 😂! Awesome video!!!

[@tyronejohnson3030]

Hats off to ya Mike. I couldn't do that ride without a crew. Nice Video!

[@jeffreya8329]

😂 why do you need your friends to ride with you? Scared?

[@Deetroiter]

A thick reading book in the fridge LOL...the expanse of the Death Valley area is crazy but amazingly beautiful. For a place so devoid of life and wicked dangers, it's a truly gorgeous place.

[@mikes4x4garage]

It absolutely is.

[@cameronutter1]

I could watch these dedicated trip videos for hours it gives me ideas for stuff to do on my own

[@lpormedia4553]

Whoop whoop Mike is on a roll after his long awaited return! 🙏 🙌🏼

[@Tactical_Pterodactyl_Knives]

Definitely enjoy this type of video. The rebuild videos are excellent but we want to see you enjoying the builds also and living vicariously through you.

[@raygutierrez6066]

Bad ass vid 👍

[@zach_60]

Awesome video Mike. I can't imagine exploring charles manson's hideout alone at night

[@JB-pk1jx]

Keep the videos up man. Your style of video is a breath of fresh air. I did something similar in college in SLO, drove through the desert and ended up my trip camping on pismo.

[@bricew25]

I busted up laughing when you said it was the start of a horror movie hahah

[@jamesedwards818]

Great video! Refreshing to see someone just exploring and having fun and not taking it so serious with the gear and food. Thanks man!

[@joevargas9524]

Aww man. Thanks for sharing your journey looks like you had fun and peaceful time. Keep on rolling 👍🏽👊🏽

[@johnhopper233]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours yet. Love to see the Taco in its element and see you adventuring. It's inspiring. Keep making the awesome videos man. You rock.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you John! I really appreciate you!

[@dannadeau4772]

this is one of my favorite videos of yours. Rad to see a project you've put so much time into out there doin it's thing. Good timing too as I'm trying to put together a camping trip in the next few weeks, Death Valley is definitely on the list now. Cheers!

[@kylespencer6292]

always a good day to see an upload from you!

[@ascentoffroad]

Love these adventures videos! Keep em coming.

[@tts-355]

Great video Mike, definitely interested in more like that. I give you tons of credit for all the work that went into it. Also, props for doing it all on your own.

[@tony_sheppard165]

super relaxing to watch you go on your journey. This really makes me eager to finish working on my 1993 jeep YJ and take it out to local trails and campsites to do some overlanding. I really enjoyed your video and just the serenity of Death Valley, hats off to you for doing it solo!

[@lukecreamer8250]

Mike you never fail to inspire me. Great vid.

[@mikes4x4garage]

I appreciate that!

[@monkeyplayer5421]

Love your videos! Always looking forward

[@kylehutchison4216]

good simple video, entertaining to watch, keep making them. it's good content seeing you wheeling around and just exploring.

[@2WCapo]

Got hooked by your first Tacoma build videos, been watching every video since. Keep up the great work buddy 🤙

[@guymann4016]

Big fan of your channel, Mike. Hope you keep it up 👍🏻

[@JoWrr]

Great video love the wrenching and trip videos

[@RCH000]

Great stuff Mike. Looking forward to more content!

[@owendoescomputers9191]

dude this is so peaceful, it really calmed me down.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Good to hear !

[@stephy_spacesout]

Very cool seeing the mines and seldom visited parts of death valley. Thank you for sharing

[@Meaty_taco]

Awesome blog brother. Watched the whole thing. One day I’ll go out exploring like this. This is life.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you! It’s amazing, get out there!

[@con_man-]

loved the change in content brother keep it up

[@JDMJACOB1]

Sick trip, thanks for sharing!

[@hellsbells2992]

Peak KZbin, just a dude, a truck, and the open desert. No 5m budget, fancy editors, careful thumbnail selection to boost engagement

[@mikes4x4garage]

hey thank you!

[@bradymac7516]

Love that truck. Nice to live close to all these awesome places to tour and explore...Great video Mike 💯🇨🇦

[@ScreamsPenguin]

This was awesome. Would love more videos like this.

[@BuzzzdLightyear]

I gotta say, this has been one of the more inspiring videos for me. I’ve wanted to go on a trip like this for a while, but for one reason or another haven’t committed. CA has some amazing sites and history to explore, I need to get out and see it.

[@SMPL_Co.]

Just found your channel, you just gained another follower dude! Keep uploading!!

[@drew.h7273]

first time finding you on yotube, and absolutely loved the video. watched it all the way through and loved it the entire time. definitely subscribing

[@mikes4x4garage]

Oh hey thanks! I appreciate that!

[@genekraemer4181]

Great video man! Would love to see more trips like this!

[@PD82]

I had a chance to visit death valley last summer. Late afternoon just in time to catch the sunset. Followed by a thunderstorm, it went from 120 degrees at 7 pm to 55 degrees. The sunset was just incredible, truly an experience.

[@GregsBlueTacoma]

That's the best tacoma model out there! The size and power are perfect. I love my 4.0 but I love my friend's 3.4 as well.

[@perro626]

Pretty cool video! Death Valley and a Toyota truck, you didn´t disappoint!

[@seriousros7280]

I love Death Valley! I'm driving a 25 yr old RAV4 currently - doing fine and I'm impressed .......More Death Valley adventures please - enjoyed this a lot

[@stansbruv3169]

Thanks for taking us with you bruv!

[@holemajora598]

Ohh , didn’t realize this was a new one I just subscribed today. I was checking your vids on the “pre runner shocks” on the Cherokee. I like what you did with the rear shocks.

[@DirtRoad_Chronicles]

Hell yeah dude, sick vid keep them coming! 🤙🏽

[@Kjack2023]

👍 bottles of Corona surviving the terrain! Thanks for sharing!

[@1dskells]

Enjoyed the shit outta that man. Glad you're back with some new content.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you.!

[@sandy__matt]

you inspire me to hop in my toyota and go live my life sick vid, thanks for sharing

[@mikes4x4garage]

Live it up!!

[@sidewaysjeep85]

What a cool adventure!!! I like to see more videos

[@stevegutierrez63]

Just stumbled upon your video. Awesome solo trip! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@garrettblaster]

Love your videos can’t wait to get my 1st gen sequoia out on some trips soon

[@tavzyota1691]

awesome video mike !

[@mysterjd34]

As an 03 tacoma quad cab owner, so cool to see this! I just got a hard top tent and have it mounted much like yours. I did the same exact thing with the ladder at first 😆

[@mikes4x4garage]

Haha it took me awhile to figure that one out

[@sizzlnm3]

Really cool video! I love how your video wasn't embellished by music - just raw footage.

[@AlxDv]

Sick video! Great quality, beautiful scenery, sweet Taco. Subbed.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Got it all here!

[@OhYeahAboutThat]

Love the video!

[@MegaRetr]

Awesome video Mike 😊

[@robertyoung8289]

Pretty funny your a master mechanic yet had trouble with the ladder😂. Fun video. Thanks

[@colincochrane3071]

def make more vids like this. so nice to see a camping/4wd video thats just raw and doesnt have any of that tacky no copy write rock music over it

[@mikes4x4garage]

I would love to!

[@masenist]

sick video man ima jeep buy got an xj and love watching they 2nd gen taco exploration n stuff!

[@mannytaduran4620]

Thanks for the content. Been wanting to do this.

[@fantasyEXX]

Great video, thanks for a good adventure. Those piles of dirt from the mines are called tailings

[@Kev305]

I have a 23Zero Breezeway 62 RTT and i would say its more than big enough for both me and my girlfriend at the same time. I'm 6'3 ~210 pounds and still find it very comfortable to sleep in. We do bring an extra memory foam layer to throw in and that definitely helps. Just as comfortable as my bed at home

[@jyo8914]

Nice!!! We did this almost same trip last January (2023) but in reverse. Trona, Escape Trail/Fish Canyon, Goler Wash/Mengel Pass, Warm Springs, West Side Road and Cerro Gordo. Happy wheelin' and be safe.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you, and likewise!

[@muddogger]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thanks for watching!

[@muckingfountains]

Awesome video, you inspired me to head down there in a couple weeks. Try pulling the tent ladder all the way out then shortening it. I have an older tepui and that’s how you get mine to lock

[@xxcarlosxx16]

Bro you are bat shit crazy to do all of that by yourself. Major props.

[@Russianrybakov]

Epic way to end the trip man!

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

When the flag is raised at a Public use cabin it means it's being used, first come first served.

[@chrisscoleri2341]

Jersey Mike's, that's my wife and my go-to, off-road exploring sandwich place. Great video. My wife and I are going to do a trip to DV before the end of Winter.

[@connordanhof5022]

This is sweet. Reminds me of back in the day I had a old 92 Toyota I drove from Seattle and moved to St. George Utah and I would drive around and explore the southern desert there. Good times. Nothing quite like it. Especially when you get to a surreal place

[@mikes4x4garage]

St. George area is stunning!

[@JeffreyJohnston724]

that was a cool trip thanks for the ride

[@nixx_ed]

New here but gonna tell you this you are funny, really missed some silly humour like this :) Loved the vid, looking forward for more!

[@mikes4x4garage]

Haha thank you!

[@desertadventures4221]

I like that.. just out enjoying the elements

[@highcountrystories]

Makes me miss Nevada So much amazing back country!! Definitely can be a little overwhelming You just have to be careful Nice video!! Get those bushings replaced 😅. I take that back.. you had replaced them.. definitely something squeaky tho. Anyway good fun run!!

[@diegotrujillo6673]

mike you are my hero

[@dustinsalisbury4383]

Looks like a good time bro 🤙🏻. Need to get my 4runner out on a trip again.

[@benjaminmcmillan4192]

Awesome rig dude

[@FrostyCamaro]

Great video, enjoyed following along!

[@mikes4x4garage]

Thank you for watching!

[@burtonbrd31]

It's nice to have a offroad/adventure channel that doesn't rely on clickbaity bullshit titles to garner attention like all those other shnooks. Keep it up

[@Frontireadventures]

Wicked. Rode down through death valley on my motorcycle in 2019. Crossed the Ebbets pass in November and picked up the 395 south. Spent the night in Brighton and loved my next day in the valley. Next night was in Nipton. Great adventures.

[@colechristian2635]

Nice video, Mike!!

[@skyybluu3118]

Great video thank you 👍🏻

[@Wanderlust073]

Finally! Was wondering if you were done with the vids.

[@sethpoeski2954]

Yooo yeah you passed through Cero Gordo out there. I've wanted to check that place out, but you're wild for going out in the winter lol.

[@1MNUTZ]

Excellent Adventure!

[@uniquejonny6897]

I have the same tent and I about lost my shit the first time I used it trying to figure the ladder out. Gotta start with it fully together and pull one by one from the bottom

[@mikes4x4garage]

Yep, I eventually got it 😂

[@LivingUnderARock333]

Hell Yeah. My type of Dude! Never been to Death Valley but it’s on my list. Cheers

[@mikes4x4garage]

Worth a stay for sure.

[@Breezy_alee]

Missed the uploads keep it up

[@prob1643]

The cabins are all volunteer maintained. If the flag is up someone is staying there. Raise the flag if you stay. You would have been fine. Stayed at several of those cabins.

[@Bluegastank]

Looks like you're having fun out there I have the 2004 Tacoma with 230,000 miles on it still running strong amazingly enough I can sleep in the passenger seat with the extra cab and the seat all the way back it's relatively comfortable. Especially because I need the space in the back forthe Dirtbike.

[@manfredolson6889]

When the flag is flying at those cabins it indicates occupied. The fact the fire was burning and nobody in sight was weird. They were probably pooping. Or passed out/dead in the outhouse. :/

[@johnnyrocker73]

Rooftop tent ladders everywhere…the struggle is real 😂

[@mikes4x4garage]

Absolutely haha

[@JB50713]

Some funny moments Mike! Fucking beautiful place! Thx for sharing. Love your videos. ✌🏼🇨🇦

[@evan_mart5314]

I love how you build your armor by yourself, If you ever make one for 3rd gen 4runners, shoot me a message. I really like the look of the tubular one on the 3rd gen taco and also this swingout on the 1st gen!

[@bajar.m.6953]

I exploded Dead Valley last year in a 1987 Toyota 4Runner. That’s old. Great job👍🏾
