What is the farthest you have ever gone off-roading?

[@AmazonWebService98]

my backyard 4wd was required

[@Dangerousd1987]

Mojave Road. We need to do this one together.

[@HoglundOverland]

This was my longest trip!

You mean we can drive off of the road? Where do we charge our vehicles? 😏

Guys, this is absolutely insane. The level of care and attention you’re putting into these videos inspires me to GO OUT and live what this beautiful country and planet has to offer. Thank you for giving us an exclusive peek into the “unknown” - please keep these coming!!!!

[@HoglundOverland]

This was a great trip. So glad that Tacoma Beast was able to capture the trip!

bro from the cinematography to the editing this one is top tier bro the best channel when it comes to video production quality, beats out all the others, your attention to detail and editing is top of the top keep it up bro

This is so cool.. being 60 yrs old I feel like I missed so much by working my life away. My first Tacoma is on order, can't wait to experience some real outdoors.

[@tacomabeast]

You still got plenty of life ahead of you to enjoy the outdoors 💪

[@HoglundOverland]

Never too late for adventure

[@takemechrome2291]

Why’ don’t you air down when you actually need it? Then you can be more fuel efficient for the majority of the trail

[@91Bronco]

For real lol.

[@braydonantal2403]

I thought the same thing

[@stephencarbajal5657]

I was thinking the same thing, it's like to certify you're a legit overlander? Wonder why you're getting 10 mpg

[@JonBecker81]

I came down for the comments immediately because I thought that the second he was airing down. “Uh, that’s just a dirt road but whatever.” “Bro, you’re supposed to air down on dirt!” 😂

[@stephencarbajal5657]

@@JonBecker81 hey you're not a legit "offroader" unless you air down even if it mean you get 10mpg (yolo)

Wow. Those shots of the horses really were amazing... Looking forward to this series!

[@stout_tossme7541]

Out here we have quite a few wild horses. Amazing to see in person.

Want to go on that killer trip too! from Vermont to Tierra del Fuego!!

[@m.h.3344]

Epic adventure.... props to you and the guys. This is one of the best video I have seen on KZbin... this gets me pumped, it pushes me to do this same adventure... and this is a small film... good job to the film makers on this video.👍👍

[@ChrisIsland]

I've watched a few Tacoma beast videos but I've never seen one quite like this. Awesome trip, cool footage and I enjoyed the narrations that sprinkled in some history along with the visual components. Very well done

[@mikaelhuostila4005]

I want you guys to upload one single full length video of the entire trip!! Looks absolutely awesome!! Literally the dream to be able to do this with my taco some day 🤙

I have a jeep and still look forward to all of your videos. Amazing work bro. Can’t wait for next 3 days.

[@SGudur]

Half the way of the video, I am feeling so jealous of you.. You are lucky guys.. I was a traveler back in the days, but had to quit due to other responsibilities... But, I am not that jealous and I pray for your safe adventures.. I know that it is from Nov-20, but I can feel the freshness of the journey... I am not hurrying in watching the Eps by fast forwarding them... Loads of love from India... Stay good, stay blessed and stay safe... I know, we are actually safe when we are off-road!! Hahaha

[@lifeofpride4462]

Every time you talk about the Mexico to Argentina trip I get goosebumps, I'm from Guyana (Venezuela's neighboring country) and my dream is to tour the entire South America in my truck. I have a WD21 Pathfinder, LN172 Hilux (which I do most of my off-roading in) and a recently bought 2nd Gen Taco(which led me to your channel). I'm loving the channel. loving the TacomaBeast fan base. Haven't taken my taco off road yet. I'm still learning about it-and taking advice from all the guys at your expo I'm going to build smart-find what works for me and modify accordingly, I've already made a list of items I want on the TacomaBeast shop, about to pull the trigger on a few purchases soon. It's All About The Taco!!!

[@tacomabeast]

Hell yeah bro! We love inspiring you guys and can’t wait to see what your taco is gonna look like 🤙

[@twotwentyswift]

Glad to see you guys got off the main road and hit the side trails. You have to do that to justify airing down. I enjoy that route and have never found a better way to sandblast the paint off the bottom of my rock sliders : ) Next time check out the rattlesnake trail area by five-mile pass for some fun off-roading, it was only maybe 3 miles north of where you started your journey and left the paved highway. Oh, and glad you got to see the stallions fight! I've gone out and watched some absolutely brutal fights where they were kicking and biting each other like crazy! They are one of the last symbols of the old west and the spirit of the wild. I love the narrator you got for the vid too! Nice!

[@mountainsmoore3657]

Cool video. I am anxiously awaiting the rest of the series!

[@josevital2972]

WOW! What a treat. Love the trail, love the cinematography, love the company, love the history, I love everything about this series. Well, only one problem. I don’t want to wait a week for the next episode! I want to binge. Keep up the great work.

[@tacomabeast]

Wow man that means a lot. We can't wait for you to see day 2

I did this by myself in the summer of 1978. Salt Lake City to Lake Tahoe, majority off road in a 1966 GMC 4x4 step side, no air conditioning, no phone, CB radio only. No winch, only hi lift jack. Slept in open bed of truck. Not one problem.

@@HoglundOverland I didnt go to fish springs. I turned south toward Delta for a while, and then I headed west again, and then around Keg Mtn. And a whole lot of side roads to see where they went or connected to. It was a great time.

OvErLaNdInG Is serious business bro. gotta shell out atleast 20k+ of crap probably dont need for something like this lol.

[@michaelarchangelthehammer]

@@tdel8613 it'd be nice..but not needed..it does kind of make one look silly though to be worried with so much...

[@HoglundOverland]

There’s definitely something about just getting in the truck and going but then again maybe you’d never come back from a trip like this. Being out in the middle of the desert with no one around you really get a sense that things could get bad quick if one of the rigs break down.

[@michaelarchangelthehammer]

@@HoglundOverland yeah I could imagine..in a 3rd world country but I mean it's the lower 48..I've been in these areas, it could get uncomfortable sure, but where is the adventure in that?...I know everyone has their idea of adventure and the risk vs reward ratio certainly is personal...if I were to go on a similar trip, I would want highly confident(not prideful) and capable men..that is better,(in my opinion) than all the bells and whistles

[@SithLordDarthBane]

GL in Mexico 🇲🇽, we attempted to take a ferry from Florida to the Yucatán and come back up to Texas, we called it the Gulf Loop…. In the end Cartels ended up taking out GMC Yukon…. Luckily we didn’t get injured… mostly due to me speaking Spanish and convinced them that I was USAF. ( I was still in the service) so they just let us go but I still filed a Stolen car report and we ended up flying back home. Stay far if you try it. I am sure if you reach out to the consulate they will tell you that it’s common for Cartels take 4wheel drive vehicles.

Honestly that night sky though, never seen something so beautiful! You should sell tickets or raffle group trips like these around the US!

[@ryancline3025]

@@HoglundOverland without overly commercializing the "untouched" the answer is unequivocally hell yes. I'd still want the trip to be personal and spiritually authentic by making the trip based on a well thought out build and well prepared pack out. Test your gear, your preparedness and your abilities.. item #1 fill up water carriers 🤣 .. do you fear becoming numb to the experiences if you were to trail guide?
