How We Prepared For Our 1,000 Mile Off-Road Adventure

When he said on this journey were going to be dealing with three things, I thought one of the things he was going to say was narcos.

I love these high quality videos man! Can't wait to see this journey unfold, also i know you've been wanting to do something like this for your dad? That's awesome!!! 😄

[@citizenpark2782]

That 4Runners armor is super clean and low key, well done!

[@DanielGonzzz]

low key??? bro its got like 800 lbs of armor what the hell is low key about that? the black paint? lmao

[@citizenpark2782]

@@DanielGonzzz explain how you correlate weight and my opinion bout it being low key? Btw… how old are you? Do you really want to look like a grade schooler and say 800lbs? Smh

[@TIB1973]

@@citizenpark2782 because it looks entirely too oversized, what was hard to understand? Its HEAVY looking and in NO WAY is Low Key.

That tundra looks INSANELY good. I can’t wait to see all the videos

[@DanMyth1206]

I can't wait for this journey!! I do wonder how many gas stations will be visited along this trip?

[@tacomabeast]

As many as we can find tbh 😂

[@jasonwilson7998]

Soooo pumped for this series! Love the different styles of rigs

[@tacomabeast]

Gotta represent y’know 🔥

[@riteshvr3913]

lets gooooooooooooooooo

[@julls1090]

Bro... driving off road thru the highways in Mexico at night? it sounds amazing! but being realistic, when the cartels see those trucks rolling down the road with lights and a type of vehicle armor they probably never seen before, first they gonna get pretty nervous and if nothing happens then they gonna like your vehicles... same thing with the nat guard and Marins checkpoints so please at least bring with you some white flags with long stick and be prepared to wave those flags out the windows when approaching any sort of checkpoint 😄 👍👍👍 I don't know what rout you have planed but let me know if you guys need anything around Guanajuato or Michoacán

[@HoglundOverland]

Totally legit points, they stayed in Baja California and didn't go into Guanajuato or Michocan which would have been more dangerous.

[@monkeypolice3048]

I like the girl set up simplistic and smooth on dirt road.

[@jonathangavino989]

dose the guy with a tundra have a youtube channel or what social media dose he have to see all the parts that he has on the tundra ?

[@tacomabeast]

HES from the C4 crew, so all of the parts are gonna be from them. we have some links for the parts on the description 🤙

[@OminousMedic]

This is going to be an amazing adventure can’t wait to watch it unfold!! Couple questions: how do I sign up to road trip with y’all and what is that tool kit in the Tacoma!! I carry 3 tool boxes to keep my sockets, wrenches, and other hand tools in order.

[@bernardcarpenter6949]

All awesome rigs. That looks to be a great adventure. Can't wait to see what's next. Thanks for sharing.

[@dattran6372]

Dope rigs. Cool video. One thing I always wonder is why more people don't use the designed refillable 1 lb propane tanks.

[@taranbrar1717]

Bro really stoked about this journey and yeah will miss Ken you gotta do some more trips with him

[@garrettspivey]

As a contractor and an overlander, Idk why it just now occurred to me that the Milwaukee packouts would be ideal for people like this that spend all their time on the road and need great, heavy duty, weather proof ultra portable storage.

[@tacomabeast]

Gotta look into these!

[@mup8661]

I'm gonna do it. Waiting on my GooseGear seat delete because my own platform attempt failed. And then I'm gonna make a slide system with drawer slides and the packout platforms. So that way I can slide what I need from the very back to the front. And still have the ability to remove and redesign the back at anytime. One hang up, I want the black Packout cases but they're only sold in the EU so sourcing the exact cases I want is a mission. Might just breakout the ol rattle cans

[@david99340]

How are they going to comunícate ? I believe cb radios and other radios like that are illegal in Mexico

[@tacomabeast]

[@Emiliopedo]

8 days for a 1000 milles , the pilots of baja1000 do it in two days

[@tacomabeast]

Yeah but we don’t have Baja built tacos 😅 we wanted to show you can still do the trip even without them, and also enjoy the view 🤙

THERE IS NOTHING BADASS ABOUT DYING PREMATURELY FROM POISONOUS FOODS! WAKE UP! AND!!!! THIS ADVENTURE WOULD HAVE BEEN ALOT EASIER, AND MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE HAD YOU ALL RENTED A HELICOPTER! YOU COULD HAVE SEEN SO MUCH MORE, STOPPED WHEREVER YOU WANTED, WITHOUT REFUELING ONCE, AND! DID IT ALL WITHIN A FEW HOURS! THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE WAY TO GO!

I'm so jealous!

[@trdrockwarrior_sport4432]

She can't see behind her that's why I don't understand why people buy four runners they over pack the rear plus four runners are not meant to do hard core off roading they are meant for taking the family in the woods for camping

[@tacomabeast]

You would be surprised what these vehicles can do. In regards to overpacking this is the solution tacomabeast.com/products/full-screen-rear-view-mirror-replacement-monitor-with-dvr-and-backup-camera-kit?_pos=2&_sid=e93a71a32&_ss=r
