What an incredibly cool project! The algorithm found the channel for me, and now I'm backtracking, watching all the episodes in reverse order 😀

[@urbannomadslife]

I know! Me too😂

[@john-pauljones878]

Really enjoying this series of the build. Partly restoring my rusty landcruiser. Every dam nut and bolt has fought me tooth and nail

[@nmp369]

I have to say - the moment that engine started was such a BIG moment for me. Very exciting and I can just imagine how you guys must have felt. Well done! 😃

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Very surreal. We had no idea it would feel that good 😂

[@JeepTJay6]

This camper is gonna be so damn cool. I LOVE unique stuff like this.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Thank you !

[@aaronscott2278]

93 fzj80 owner here been following since the start love it man very very jealous lol

[@mikemorgan4670]

You Guys are awesome. Love what you do. "All it takes is all you got", words to live by Brother. So looking forward to your adventures!!

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

✊✊

[@seichodan]

Rewatching this from the instep - @Matt, Your flashes of brilliance on filming/editing are at their ingestion state here - The grade only goes up from here. Much Love From New England ❤

[@seanburns5937]

It's FANTASTIC! 😂And then Stacy holding her thumbs up 👍...............👍........👍k got it 😅😅

[@philgriswold2133]

Very cool closing. As much as we run towards change and opportunity, there is always something that we are leaving behind. The rig is coming along nicely and I can't wait to see you guys head out on your great adventure.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Thanks Phil! Felt like the closing and opening of a new Act.

[@scottthompson9209]

Best part of the video Janet!!! Looking at the welder

[@jeremylstewart]

So glad to see guys getting geared up for "The Journey"! Can't wait for updates from the road!!!

[@Klamath1970]

I just found you guys a couple of weeks ago. Nice to see someone build a truck themselves and not have the same cookie cutter crap as everybody else. That thing is bad ass! Nice work.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Heck yeah! Thanks for that. Built not bought for sure.

[@edwardpeters4700]

Everything about this build rocks. This is going to be the best Chinook on 4 wheels when youˋre done.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

🤘🤘🍻 Thanks Edward!

[@chasing_bends]

Heck yeah! Series keeps getting better and better. Thanks for the camera exposure! I wont complain anymore LOL

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

all for the people!

[@KeefyTV]

under rated channel for sure love the videos keep up the great work

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Thank you so much! We appreciate it!

[@jojo88898]

I'll miss seeing the rockcrawler parked out front when I'd pass by from the highway down to the ferry, but this build series is so, so, SO good. Great job, and can't wait to see how this thing handles all the adventures it has in store for it!

[@Andy_C_aka_Cliff_McCrawl]

Full send!!!! Stoked for y’all!

[@jacarajc]

lol she was looking right at the weld

[@TaborJPhotoFilm]

So so cool to see your dream coming alive. Such a sweet build. Can’t wait to see it “finished.”

[@joncabral9019]

I literally wait for your guys’d videos! Thanks for all the hard work guys

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Thanks for watching my dude!

[@jackmeyers40]

That lil beauty is comin along nicely. I thought about vloggin for YT when I built my 2001 Gen 3 Montero. But no one wants to see tools be thrown at a garage door. Any way we are enjoying ya'lls videos from the state of TX.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

If you only saw our behind the scenes haha! Thanks for watching !

[@calebberglund53]

I literally laughed out loud when I saw her stare at the active weld arc 😂💀

[@ronaldfarmer6680]

good luck kids, im rooting for you

[@mikiodehart7932]

Based in Denver, CO… doing a similar frame/4x4 swap with a chinook… but with a 1uz. Most of my build so far had been me just figuring it out. I would love to see a video/post detailing your tcase setup. Super informative video series.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Very cool! feel free to send us an email with your progress, we would love to see! [e-mail]

[@BrianODonohue]

Overcoming obstacles for the Overlanding Life! Good Stuff Guys!!

[@JrockTheCrusherF]

I don’t think I’ve been more excited for a build! You guys are killing it!!! You guys are a huge inspiration and wish you guys the best on your new journey! Can’t wait for the next vid 🍻

[@nwhuckin7761]

Nice progress. those bumpers look sweet and the whole build is going to be so dope. Can't wait to see it rollin down the road!

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Thank you Greg! We're very excited about working on the finishing touches.

[@matthewschaefer4102]

Its great you guys are building this yourself. All the tools in the world can't fix a lack of knowledge about your rig when you're broke down.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Very true! We are going to know every inch of this thing when we're done with it.

[@janetyeomans8138]

So fun, interesting and exciting! And I got a supporting role😂 So proud of you two❤️🥰

[@bc30cal99]

Greetings from the snowy Okanagan, thanks for another video. It's always a grand feeling when the motor you've just dropped in fires up, even if it's a rototiller it's just a relief to have it make good noise. All the best to you both, safe travels and we'll see you on the screen next time.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Man, the four seasons! We agree, it was the best sound we have heard in a long time. Thanks for being here!

[@4Runner123]

You’re getting close hope it all works out ! Been watching your progress. Cheering you on looking forward to the drive. Wish I was young again to do what you’re doing.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

thanks so much for the support!

[@paultthompson]

Super unique build! Enjoying every minute of it.

[@DirtGarage]

Glad I could help!

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

🙌🙌

[@winchoutdoors]

Fantastic video guys! Great camera work and the Chinook is really coming along. I think the Landcruiser axles were a great choice for that size build.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

We appreciate you noticing! It should definitely hold up to for our plans with it!

[@loganmcparland943]

Loved the end note there, I’m so happy for you guys and wish nothing but the best!

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Thank you!

[@rubennava3713]

That chinook is so dopeee probably the best I’ve seen so far good job bud can’t wait to see you out on the trails with it

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Thank you!

[@454Whitey]

[@greatsouthernoverland]

We are really enjoying your journey :D more power to you both!!

[@dimitriosdrosinis1340]

you should replace those radiator clamps with the constant tension ones.

[@leemorrison4294]

what a cool build!

[@Dmhlcmb]

Damn good fabrication, love it.

[@uur464]

very cool chinok, congrats! looking forward to seeing it on the roa💪💪

[@Trav3l2Liv3]

Since watching this series I now have scoured Craigslist for a chinook 😂

[@seanburns5937]

Awesome work 👏

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Cool build. I love unique projects like this.

[@swim2kill]

Badass. It looks so cool!

[@triggerbackcountryadventures]

🙌 you guys are killing it! Very inspirational to think outside the box when doing builds.

[@robormiston2841]

Nice vice , that's a beast.

[@AustinLWright]

To the moon. This channel is great. What winch are y’all running?

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

We will be running a Warn winch!

[@paynefulmechanix9675]

the stock airbox is far superior, and if you are looking for more "ramair" then do the deckplate mod.

[@bradlininger6393]

Weird Im wearing my black and green flannel as im watching this there she is in the same.damn one lol awesome build you guys know what you are doing

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Hahaha, awesome. Cheers man!

So far top 3 builds for the rn20

To new beginnings shave the hair of your bodies. Radical change! 😀

[@urbannomadslife]

Awesome! 😎

[@devrimhusrevoglu4356]

How it the fiberglass house gonna deal with the flex over time? Awesome build! Its tough building with a hard deadline, good luck you two!

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

The fibre glass will definitely need some TLC over time. Something we are planning on doing when we are back from the PanAm trip!

[@YotaDaryl]

Fantastic

[@1chavo100]

😱😱😱😱beautiful

[@campervanbug7658]

You're supposed to apply lipstick after you cross things off the list then reflect dreamily 😅

[@Jimmyhickey90]

I’ve had these headlights. They are pretty bad and borderline dangerous. You will also get condensation everytime it rains. Pick up morimoto super 7s or the jwspeaker headlights. You’re looking at about 300 a piece depending on which you choose but you will get a factory quality light.

[@YotaDaryl]

Wow

[@sunroameroverland]

Hey guys I went back on your videos couldn’t find it what radiator did you use I’m getting ready to put a three core in mine but finding one with the center cap in the middle of the radiator is difficult

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

We mentioned it in the last vid, it's a CSF 2316!

[@sunroameroverland]

@@ToyotaWorldRunners i hope you mean 2306 as i can not find a 2316 listed.. thanks

[@treatjoseph]

Why did you put coolant in the engine where the oil goes?

Whats the intro track ? Sick build too

[@matthewlee2686]

I so would've TDI swapped this thing.

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

We considered it! Even had a TDI to do it. For a myriad of reasons we went with the 3.4

[@matthewlee2686]

@@ToyotaWorldRunners well good luck with it. I'm a TDI fanatic. Building one to go into my 87. I'm hoping to get around 30 mpg at 250hp
