new year, new breakdown | land cruiser troopy troubles in 2024

While I'm enjoying the warmer weather of the lower 48, the troopy is still up in Whitehorse, Yukon waiting on some suspension parts to get back on the road after a minor accident on the icy road of the Alcan Highway. We've got a plan to get back on the road though, and I'm hopeful it will happen soon.
Thanks for being here!

My hats off to you for being so resilient! Hopefully Murphy and his two cousins are finished swatting you around ..... get that rig back on the road and start making videos! 👍

[@BenStinnett]

That’s the goal man! Thanks so much 🙌 hoping to leave Murphy in the rear view mirror 😂

[@chadwickestey]

Sorry to hear about the new round of troubles but glad to hear you’re still in high spirits. Hope to see you and the Troopy back on the road soon

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks so much Chad! You can count on it man 👊

Glad to see you're back. Really sorry about the troopy. It's definitely turning into an adventure and not just another Alaska trip. Hope to see you at expo and safe travels for you in 2024!!

[@BenStinnett]

You’ve got that right! Thanks so much! Let’s definitely plan to run into each other at the expo, I’ll be sure to put out the details in advance!

[@CraigG21]

Wow - was just wondering how thing were going with you and Bandit. Glad to hear you’re ok, but sad to hear about the continued struggles. You had been blessed with wonderful people to help though. Continue hanging in there - your perseverance will pay off!

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks so much Craig! I’m confident we’ll be on the upswing here in 2024! Your support means a ton! 👊

[@patrickkesler6036]

Man this is such an epic adventure. Anything beyond this will be a breeze. Enjoy the ride, take it one day at a time. Your story will remain the grounding point of every conversation ahead. Hang in there. It will get better from here.

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks so much Patrick! I definitely think you’re right, it’s only going to get better from here! 🙌

[@michaelbradley3907]

I was beginning to worry about you buddy! I hate to hear you keep running into these issues but glad to hear you are ok! Can’t wait to read the book you write about your travels! 😂

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks man. I know I felt bad about going silent in January, but I kept thinking, “okay just a few more days until I’m flying back up to the troopy, I’ll make the video then.” And then the timeline just kept getting pushed out. I’ll give you a shoutout in the dedication man 😂

[@johnwebb2232]

as soon as i saw the title of the video, i said, "Oh no." i can not believe the trouble you've had since you started this journey. but like everything else, there's always setbacks in life. I'm really happy for you that you've met some incredible people to help you out and get you back on your way. as always, i can't wait to see your next video. take care and be safe out there. also, good luck with the troopy. i hope she starts behaving herself soon😅😅.

[@BenStinnett]

I figure it’s best to get all the troubles out of the way early on 😅 thanks so much John! I can’t wait to get back to it!

[@eastALoverland]

Great to see an update from you!

[@BenStinnett]

It was long overdue! Thanks so much 🙏

[@jeffgodsy9155]

Hey dude, glad to see you finally get to post a video even if it's not one that you wanted to. I enjoy your videos and I will be sure to keep an eye out for future videos. Keep your chin up.

[@BenStinnett]

I appreciate it! Thanks so much for the support Jeff, it means a lot 🤙

[@PabbyRibbons]

Just found your channel - and so glad I did, such awesome content! Glad to hear you're okay after that scary moment!

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks so much! Glad you found your way to my little corner of the internet! Lots of good things to come here soon!

[@scurdge2001]

Wow man what a suspenseful story. I honestly think the hardships being more than the miles is better. “Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬. We have peace and we are content in all circumstances. I see that in you. He has not left you an orphan but is with you. Love you my friend. I can’t wait to see the next video.

[@BenStinnett]

Thank you so much for the kind words and love! I appreciate it 🙏

[@zenmachine50]

wow... what a story! Keep em coming. Imagine having the where with all to wire up a leaf spring and drive to the nearest town? real bush mechanic stuff. Could be worse. what if you did all this in a new vehicle?

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks so much man! Really appreciate you being here 🤙

[@myfalconry76]

Too bad I wasn’t there I could have fabricated what you need on the troopie as long as there was a welder, cutting torch and grinder handy you would have been back on the road the next day maybe two days

[@BenStinnett]

Oh man I really wish you would have been there!

[@ScaleofTwo]

Sheesh man, Alaska has been cruel and so kind to you all at the same time. Get that troopy outta there 😂

[@BenStinnett]

My thoughts exactly man 😅 I’m tempted to trailer it to the ferry just to get it to Washington at this point for some better luck haha. Hope you’re well!

[@dickinaroundoutdoors8609]

Wow, you had one heck of a trip to Alaska and back! I must admit mine was nowhere near as "exciting" but glad to hear that it ended with no injuries and a functional vehicle.

[@BenStinnett]

Haha let’s just say it definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of the challenges it threw my way 😅 Thanks so much for the support 🙏
