Patriot Games Joins TrailRecon & OVRLNDX For An Epic Trip Through Anza-Borrego, California

[@TrailRecon]

Such an awesome adventure with your family. Honored that we got to show you some of our local favorite spots. Can’t wait for our next chance to hit the trails together again!

[@PatriotGames]

Thanks mate, we will return the favour real soon 😉

[@tubbytub2990]

​@@PatriotGames Hi Justin and crew, got some great places up around the Atherton Tablelands. I'd be keen to show you all around?

[@OVRLNDX]

Such a great adventure, so happy to be able to show you beautiful Anza-Borrego, next time Baja maybe?😉

[@Wreck6987]

Experiencing your first runaway can be a scary time. Well done getting it shut down

[@timmyhasheart]

Too much blow by ends up dieseling off it’s own oil. Such a quick awesome reaction to stall it out, screw the gearbox, Kid done well!!!

[@cameronhazel7069]

I love how much love their is for all your kids, yea somthing has gone on but no matter what y'all help them fix it and teach them in the process

[@stuartmutch6003]

Thanks Patriot crew. It is really great seeing you putting together videos with your family and friends. A lesson for so many of us, to be truthful. In so many of the youtube 4WD channels, we see them pushing themselves very hard to reach a predetermined location, often well into the night. Maybe sometimes it might be good to show that we can pull up early and simply enjoy where we have gotten to, rather than push so hard just to reach a preplanned destination for the night. Thanks for another great video. 5 stars!

[@jordi011170]

Love y’all’s videos. Thank you for sharing Brad & Regina and Marco are some of my favorite KZbin people as well.

[@chriskinne4940]

Some of my favourite KZbinr all together great watch 👍 hello from the U.K.

Another great production. A couple of my favourite KZbinrs in one video, can't get much better.

You’re my favorite off-road channel outside of the USA and happen to be hanging with my two favorite USA off-road channels. I love your content! 🤘🏻

[@luisamaya1768]

Loving the USA series! Anza is in my backyard as well so it’s super exciting to see those Australian built rigs.

[@tomzy1991]

Maaatteeeee, I am so keen for this episode!!!

[@m3logistics]

Luv your expeditions - keep going - nice to see the whole family enjoying the adventures! Joseph, Cape Town

[@Neiiil]

I’m from CT too. But watching from Surrey, UK.

[@mikeshuck2760]

Watching from California. You’ve only scratched the surface of this part of USA has to offer. I sure this trip timing included King of Hammers.” I’m sure someone in LA could swap out an LS in that FJ in a matter of hours. Get you rolling again. You’ve come to the USA with the worst, Harshest winter in a 100 years. Rubicon with be snowed in till June/July.

[@AndrewTurner251]

Really great video, I loved it. Thanks for making it.

[@davidchilds6505]

Ohh man.... Sad to see that!!!😢😢.....But on the plus side you can Barra it now!!!!❤

[@Ktmfan450]

I say when in Rome/'merica... Cummins swap

[@darcykeddell4930]

​@@Ktmfan450 those little Toyota diffs can't handle Cummins power

[@christiandazzena7697]

The fj is back up and running lets go🎉🎉 but not for long

[@brendanm6360]

Should have designed and built a Barra for it maybe

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. California's got plenty of shops that could likely drop an electric drivetrain in the '49. Though you could definitely fit a bigger battery pack in the 6x6. Actually... if you took up the entire floor of the 6x6 tray floor, you could likely fit a massive battery pack on that thing. and with the footprint of that truck, you could also fit a ton of solar panels on it...

[@jessehill1421]

While I have admit I’m keen to see the electric car development, sadly in Australia we don’t have the infer structure to support electric car touring. The engine in the Toyota will most likely be discontinued in the next few year currently over 4 year wait for a new 70 series truck in Australia.

[@johnedwarddanila2498]

I wasn't expecting that one hope you guys can still use most of the engine. But hey all is good. And a very good show i'll keep keep on looking forward for other episodes😁😁👍👍👍

[@merinofarmeragriculturewor4623]

Awesome as guys ..

[@brandongoberdhan6335]

Awesome video. Hope you guys get through and its a simple fix

2 cars in two episodes keep them coming. Cheers

Okay, iv just found you're guys chanel so far iv enjoyed watching videos, From your cousin across the ditch NZ

[@philfoote829]

So epic but so sad but that is adventure it only makes you stronger

[@Marshall1Boswood]

I just hope that the team make it back safely and just stay safe

[@nativetexson]

Looks like a great adventure with some of my favorite overlanders, Patriot campers, TrailRecon, and OverlandX. Curious to know what happened with the FJ49.

[@mellamotrump]

So Good!

[@surferj0e]

I can’t believe that the Patriot Crew was in my backyard! Amazing! Looks like you were a tad early to see the desert flowers. Sorry to see the FJ49 go down. BTW: I have a 40 series and an 80 series. Seeing a 70 series in the US is an ultra rarity!

[@robertlewis7237]

THANK YOU FOR SHARE GREAT VIDEO

What a great tram to be with things turn sours.

[@13kbella]

Oooh Have been waiting for this one 😊

[@tubbytub2990]

Great video Justin and crew. Wasn't good to see the motor runaway. I take my hat off on how well Ashton handled the situation. Hope he gets the FJ49 going again.

[@chefcamsey1375]

Great content as always 👍👍

[@taurota1554]

Awesome

[@waltermigotto484]

The FJ49 is so awesome! It is a dream FJ for sure. I don't care if it brakes. Built cars do that in the testing period . Once you figure the gremlins out you end up with a beast!

[@washingtonruwonde2855]

great episode so keen to see what's next for the fj

[@kennitheames401]

I'm is in Gympie Queensland Australia and been watching the Fj49 and I do watch the Fab Rat's in the US and Paul from Fab Rat's has a rock crawler Fj49 he might still have the original gearbox and transfer case if you look him up

[@Slayeranon]

Runaway bugger could have blocked the snorkel to stop it quick

[@slamboy66]

This one vid has the most accents than all the vids I watched today.

[@martinklaus2203]

The camera doesn't do Diablo Drop-off justice. It is much steeper than it appears on camera.

[@unclerodney5918]

"It's clutch" after he told you he put it in 5th and dropped the clutch with a deisel on full revs going nowhere 😂

[@julianconibear9189]

I just saw Marco with his X1 on mischief maker tv, so cool to see him guiding you guys too. He seems like a really nice guy

[@PatriotGames]

the best

[@ryanduffy4936]

Epic

[@marcusyou7892]

When is the new series on the FJ getting a new motor LS??

[@Marshall1Boswood]

And well another thing is that don't forget this engine was out of an old mine ute that had rolled sat sat on its side for who knows how long and than they pumped 200+ hp that was well probably not the best thing but you will never know till you try I suppose 😂.

[@Trenticl]

I believe the cause of the run away would be that oil blowby coming in through the intake, a diesel engine can essentially run on engine oil, so when that much oil is sucked in through the intake it no longer needs the fuel being injected by the fuel injectors, that's why it will keep running after you cut the ignition (essentially shutting off the main fuel supply).

[@oxmate]

i watch trailrecon all the time

Yep he's so good so much knowledge for us Aussies

Right on! Thank you!

[@kevinfitch5538]

How do you get your rigs here from Australia?

[@rodpalmer4652]

They were shipped in containers…

[@phalanx3803]

IMO put a 1HD-FTE with 8HP + Turbo Lamik in. reliable engine plus a trans you can put in auto for casual city driving and cruising and take full control just like its a manual for off roading.

[@TheShooter466]

looks like the FJ49 can get a real engine, like a 1HDT

[@willmcc05]

Tee Dee 🥱

[@no88o2]

I would've grabbed a 5.7L Toyota 3ur-fe petrol out of atundra or something while in the US

[@tenfeetwanderers774]

You mean diesel engine running off its own oil. Doesn't matter if it's turbo or not

[@darcykeddell4930]

​@@tenfeetwanderers774 he means turbo seals let go and oil leaking into intake causing it to run off that oil

[@chil5150]

Another interesting production from the Patriot stable. Say, why don't you support a channel like Six Overland? They are real people using Patriot product in a real life situation; Mum and Dad's going on holidays with the kids...kind of like the Montesalvos did once upon a time.

[@william6815]

[@charlienew]

sad for the 49

[@weareskux6897]

Pretty devastating im not the biggest fan but its hard to see hard work get blown up. Gotta work with the punches my thoughts are that the car wouldn't have run away if you had the original intake with the egr connected up i know the stock intake is restrictive and has throttle bodys but they run on power so when you would have shut the car off it wouldve closed the throttle bodys and it would ran away but max at idle revs cause the engine still needs air to run starve it of air it will shut off so its all fun looking cool but toyota designs things the way they are for a reason

[@rawdyrider]

Go to Hurricane Utah and wheel with Matts Offroad Recovery!Then you would have done something!

[@dionrowell]

well sorry your trip has spelled because of your motor but you can always try a different diesel motor you got the Chevrolet Duramax they have two models 4 cylinder and V8 model thing you got the Dodge diesel in Cummins then you got Volkswagen which is a good one and Toyota has one as well I think other than try to deremax that's a good one other have a nice day

U can trust a 2h, 1hz and fte, not the vdjs and i think this vdj our of ex mine vehicle i believe

[@phalanx3803]

@@stan_smith395 the 2F is a trust worthy engine as well if you didn't look under the hood to see that its a petrol you could mistake it for a diesel. and even when the VDJ's are working there fuel hungry with current fuel prices if i had a VDJ i would be bankrupt.
