Epic rig, congrats! I bought my first truck last year and discovered the world of canopy campers. I think they’re the best option for overlanding because you can turn the bed into standing height living space yet it’s still a compact vehicle. The alucab is top tier, just be conscious of your payload. You may want to run the truck over a scale to see how much capacity you have left for gear.

Does Wall Drug still have free ice? I spent a few days in Wall waiting for a new u-joint to be put in my BMW back in the mid seventies. Towing a small trailer to Oregon from NJ to seek fame and fortune…got to know the badlands real well. 50 years ago and I still remember Wall Drug. I’m sure the LX is better equipped to tow a small trailer, but there is still additional wear and tear that towing anything creates on a drive train. Good luck with your Tacoma rig!

Interesting, would have never foreseen this one… the LX is the ultimate overland machine. It’s obvious the the wind/road noise has increased in this video from your previous videos. It’s a good thing you’re not getting rid of the LX, as it’s one of the best trucks ever made. I feel like we’re an outlier as we prefer tent camping when overlanding as it doesn’t take up so much space and weight.

@WheretoNextOverland 6 ай бұрын
We LOVE our LX! It has been amazing for us, and I can't imagine getting rid of it. And yes, there's no doubt the LX is comfier and quieter than the Tacoma. This change is more a product of a truck based platform being better suited to multi-week overland travel, at least in terms of space, comfort and (most importantly) ease of setup and teardown. You just cannot get close to what a truck camper can do to the above with an SUV / Wagon platform. So it's not an LX thing .... more of a platform thing. Of course, having both gives us the best of both worlds 😃

@@JeffCleverley That's pretty typical of any Tacoma build, not much payload left after mods. ANY Tacoma with a camper on it is probably over GVWR. While there are some Tacoma's with higher payloads those tend to be lower trim models without options, access cab and/or 2WD trucks. You have to pay attention to the door jam sticker to get true payload numbers. I know for this particular Tacoma, Double Cab TRD Off-Road, that the door jam payload sticker will be 900-1000lbs. It's not technically legal here but our rules are not as strict as per se Australia. We won't have to have the trucks weighed to be certified or street legal. In some states to register your truck all you need is to pass emissions testing and they may check and see if your headlights and seatbelts work. The only time you get your truck weighed is if you're in an accident and the lawyers and insurance companies want to find who's at fault. There's no such thing as an GVM upgrade here, legally. From what I understand most GVM upgrade kits are just new shocks, springs, and maybe some brakes. While we can do all those upgrades and technically increase payload, this does not change what the door jam sticker states and will not legally increase payload. We can't get the truck re-registered with a new higher payload sticker like you can in AU.

@J.Young808 ahh, yeah that all makes sense. I agree that in stock form, SUV's are far more practical / usable for every day stuff. You might consider putting an OTT tune on your Tacoma. It's the first thing I did when we got home and it's honestly the best $500 mod I've done to any vehicle ever. Gives you a bit more low end torque, but the real benefit is it almost completely solved the annoying gear hunting 3rd gens are known for. Makes the throttle response MUCH better to. Do your research though ... since your truck is still under warranty, a tune may or may not be worth the (very minimal) warranty voiding risk

For example, on a 3rd gen Tacoma, there's a fair bit of modification (cutting) that usually needs to be done to accommodate 35's. Along with around a 3'' lift. And then, once you have 35's, you really need to re-gear the truck. So, fitting 35's to a 3rd Gen Tacoma becomes a pretty big production with a pretty big expense. In our case, we also have to factor in the Canopy Camper, which from what I understand will not easily accommodate a 35'' tire on the rear door, where we have our spare mounted. Of course it can be done .... but fitting 35's on a Jeep Wrangler is NOT the same as fitting 35's on a Tacoma. 4th gen Tacoma's look like they'll probably bolt right on though, which is awesome to see Toyota fix that oversight!

Going from a 100 series to a Tacoma is a downgrade no matter how you slice it.

We LOVE our 100 ... but the Taco is a tool for camping, and the important part is what's in the bed. From a camping standpoint, it's a massive upgrade. No matter how you build a 100 (unless you cut the roof off), you can't get close to this setup

Don't mean to be a downer but the 3rd gen tacoma was not great. Its reliable, but that's about it. Bad seating position, noisy unrefined gutless engine, horrible transmission and pointless cramped back seats. I I had one built out, don't miss it. I'd take the LX470 all day long or even a Tundra pro. I have both currently. Definitely don't miss the tacoma. With each rig we learn what we do want and don't want. I've had several. Good luck on your journey. What ever you do though, don't get rid of the lx. You’ll regret it.

The Tacoma is a tool to facilitate easier, more comfortable long-term travel. What was most important to us was what's in the bed. With that said though, I'm curious if you got your Tacoma tuned? I ask because the FIRST thing I did when we got it home was get the OTT tune done, and it is truthfully the best 500 mod I've ever done to any vehicle. Totally transformed the way the truck drives. No more gear hunting, better torque down low. Front seats? I'm 6'2'' and drove across the country in 3 days in those seats (18 hour days). I didn't find them to be uncomfortable. I was expecting to based on all I had read, but I didn't. The seating position is a bit strange, but then again....I'm the kind of moron who crams himself into an NA Miata just for funsies. Lol. As for the LX --- yeah, DEFINITELY don't want to part ways with it. After 3,000 miles in the Taco driving it home, getting home and jumping back in the LX instantly reminded me how much I LOVE the way it drives.

@@WheretoNextOverland I get it. I did eventually tune, my Tacoma, I did put larger 33 inch tires on it and I ended up getting it down to 529 gears which made a huge difference. I definitely get your point about the bed and all the goodies in it being workable for you guys. Even with my 2021 tundra pro as much as I love it every time I get into my LX 470 and reminded how much better quality fit and finish how much smoother the drivetrain everything is in the older Lexus and Toyota products

@troyt5564 oh, there's no doubt. The 100 is built like a tank. It's the type of vehicle where a manufacturer says "let's see what the best we can do is" and that's the result. Hell, it was a $60K truck back in 2000! The Tacoma is a commodity built to a price point. I like both, but they're definitely not the same!

TBH, I can understand where you're coming from with this comment. We've always tried to keep the channel focused more on where we go and what we find versus what we're driving. We'll continue to focus on the adventure and the discoveries along the way ..... most of which (let's be honest) could be accessed by a $1,500 4WD. Hope you'll stick around, but if not ... we get it. Cheers. 🍻

This is a silly comment. It’s nonsense to say that the good people who put in the hours to make this channel for you to enjoy are less fun to watch because they will be in a different vehicle. I invite and encourage you to go watch something else.

Every other “overland”…..it’s a business and they are following the well defined plan. Overland in and of itself is the biggest marketing ploy I’ve ever seen. I remember trying to define it to my Dad and him laughing his butt off.

You will grow to hate your truck camper. It's too big, top heavy and drinks gas at an alarming rate. Once you get it loaded down, it will be way too heavy to do any serious over landing. You'll have to resort to over landing on paved roads only. It's bigger ,wider, taller and a lot heaver. All of the qualities you DON'T want in an overland vehicle. You might as well have bought a motor home.

The tight, overgrown trail we JUST ran last weekend disagrees with you. It was every bit as tight as anything we ever ran in the LX, Taco camper did fine. Pinstripes? Sure. But that would've been the case in anything. It's no wider than the LX. It's no heavier than the LX (seriously ... it's probably the same. The Tacoma has an 1,100lb lower curb weight than the LX and the camper LOADED weights 650ish lbs). It gets the same gas mileage as the LX. The limitations you have in your head of what a Tacoma with an offroad camper can or can't do don't align with my experience at all.
