In today's video I discuss why I took a break from KZbin and what to expect from the channel and my Lexus GX470 moving forwards.

I bought a GX470 because of your videos and had a blast in winter and now off roading and mudding. Keep them coming 😊

[@jkow6981]

Me too!!!🎉

[@crazyturtle16]

Me too! Picking up my project ‘08 Lexus GX 470

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

I feel this dude, I bring upwards of $26,000 of camera equipment I used on my hiking videos. In a space where views are hard to come by I feel production quality is something I can control and something most aren't willing to suffer for but it really comes at a cost mentally and physically. I upload videos of hikes never been filmed before, first ever drone shots, stuff with unique features like dinosaur footprints and I get 200 views where a video on a new hiking bladder hose or whatever gets way more views. Its important that while we may willingly suffer for the craft, we shouldn't miss the entire point of being out there in the first place.

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

@bluelinetrout that is so true, so much auto tuned crap. I hate the sound of auto tune. What happened to just raw singing?

[@LoganKingMedia]

Well said!!

[@jonschlegel2961]

It’s true We care more about the story than the cool camera angle. Your content will always be top notch in terms of production no matter what

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you!!

[@lil.musubi]

You’re doing the right thing because it’s your thing. Life is about challenges and how we navigate through it. There is only two mistakes people will make in life. Never starting and never finishing what you started.

[@jamesfroese9232]

I really appreciate your authenticity.

[@fj_matt]

I’m excited for you man, and it’s good to have the ‘King’ back. Haha

[@BeeChan_]

Super stoked you are back. Missed your content!

[@robbergstrom943]

Good to see you back. We’ve really enjoyed your videos and look forward to future videos. Kudos for finding your true path.

[@YotaSurfs]

Solid return video

[@ecahatch]

excited for the work to come, thanks Logan.

[@jonyrho]

It'll be exciting what holds in the future for you Logan!

[@finboyYYC]

I enjoy seeing a new view on my backyard, keep it up man!

[@Fotomotion_garage]

Well done prioritizing! Get after living your best life!

[@tbcmediaca]

Feel That! All the ability to create amazing video can sometimes get in the way of experience and then we end up with less than we had hoped for. Excited to see where the journey takes you dude!

[@MichaelHoward21]

I really enjoy your videos; they’re obviously a lot of work putting together and just wanted to shoot you a “thank you.”

[@jt.explores]

Welcome back!

[@DrewToner]

Mr. King, really looking forward to more of your adventure videos!! Welcome back!

[@TheGarrettZone]

Glad you’re back!

[@bamafencer12]

Good luck Logan! I understand where you're coming from with life stuff. It's all about managing it. No need to rush, life is precious.

[@cfranco101]

thanks for this man. I stopped creating for different reasons, had a land rover focused channel and took it all down a few years ago. but you are 100% right. it should be for fun. I'm glad you've found a way.

[@firstprototype]

Enjoy 😊

[@dirt5two]

Looking forward to future videos. Your GX was an inspiration for building mine. 👍🏻

[@LoganKingMedia]

🙌

[@chrispy725]

Take care of yourself and post whenever you want. I'll be here. I'm still subscribed to community channel and waiting for an update from her!

[@andredias1877]

So pumped really enjoyed your old videos can’t wait to see what you have coming next 🤙🏻

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks for watching!

[@kolansito7730]

Respect bro! 💪 do you, be merry!

[@kypercarjoe153]

Ill be watching brother!

[@DarksideOffRoad]

Good luck dude! 💪

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thanks!

[@Allen_Yuon]

Glad your back Logan! You inspired me to get my own Lexus gx470. Can’t wait for your awesome videos!!

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you and that’s awesome!

[@xClassEdits]

Been feeling this a lot in my own ‘career.’ Glad to hear it’s normal to go through waves, to lose and to rediscover your inspirations. Just keep going!

[@LoganKingMedia]

🙌

[@yeloautosports]

You're right. When you film it all its more a job then it is a passion. If it's to make a living I totally get it.. if it's for fun, it can start taking too much of your personal life.. keep on making that content... as you see fit

[@rafalrafael1042]

Ur back! nice! Good Ur alive ! ;) We need more often Ur content, not just 1 per half a year !

[@geoffamon9462]

Yep, been right there. Smart move

[@Prokastrynator]

You videos are refreshing, fuck the gear, do what you are doing right now. Have fun

[@JeepTrailsandBarbells]

Yeah we go out and record a lot of stuff with the iPhones, not everything, but a lot. Then when i get time i go through it all and edit it down. Dont get me wrong, i do care about my audience and trying to make interesting content for thoughs who are interested in our adventures. But i mainly do it for me my friends and family. We love going back and watching the videos and the trips we go on and the fun we had. Like a living memory almost, when the past gets hazy we look back at the videos and remember clearly. I just started getting more serious about the editing, but i keep it simple and just have fun with it.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Well said I do love looking back on past trips!

[@scandinavianvisuals]

There he is!

[@SpencerHogg]

Super cool man, I resonate with this big time. It’s been like… 7 years of KZbin almost? The Subarus and the Tacoma. You get fcking caught up - you get lost - it becomes a lot of work. But we all get caught up in the commercial side of things. “Sponsors”, or “work for product” which becomes something you chase you lose the passion. Hope we can link up for some camping buddy 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@LoganKingMedia]

Very well said man!

[@TXGX460OverlandandOffRoad]

Good for you! Your channel is in a completely different league than mine but I know what you mean. I hit the creative wall at the same time work got really busy and I had to prioritize… meaning the KZbin videos were de prioritized. I also got tired of waking up every morning looking at KZbin statistics on subscribers and watches and and and... You’re right - go out there and make videos that make you happy. Don’t care about what the KZbin algorithm says.

[@LoganKingMedia]

Thank you it’s nice to know Im not the only one feeling this way haha

[@BrettsGarage]

Glad you're back. You're GX is super cool. I sold mine a few months ago and picked up an Audi A6 Allroad. I wasn't taking my GX on any trips to warrant the gas mileage and it went to someone that can take it on some real nice trips.

[@Andrew-on5do]

You went from incredibly reliable to one of the least reliable ever made.

[@BrettsGarage]

@@Andrew-on5do we’ll see… I’m loving the allroad though and all of its modern luxuries. Will it last 20 years and 200k miles, who knows but I’ll probably have something different before then.

[@Andrew-on5do]

@@BrettsGarage not bashing your decision to purchase one. I’m a fan of the German stuff also. I own a golf r and my wife has a q5 but the 200k mile Gx seems to be our least difficult of vehicles.

[@BrettsGarage]

@@Andrew-on5do i didn’t think you were. I think I bought the wrong GX. It was from the northeast and I went through 2 set of headers in 5 years, burned through some front rotors before upgrading to the 460 calipers. The a/c went bad and needed replaced along with steering column and some cv joints. Whole exhaust needed replaced. Airbags went out so upgraded to an ironman 1.5” lift with 33” tires. I spent nearly $13k in repairs over almost 5 years of ownership but thats including some shop costs as I didn’t have time for the more recent stuff. It was also close to its timing belt replacement, the touchscreen quit working and I drive about 400 miles a week for work now so those factors all added up to my buying s new car. Illegally never buy a northeast or rust belt car again. I miss the 470 when I need to tow one of my other cars or go pickup some stuff from home depot, as I didn’t care as much if the trunk got dirty. I tried to convince my wife to get a newer GX460 but she opted for a VW Atlas. Ze Germans as Clarkson would say, lol.

[@derekwoodcock2510]

What is the current setup for suspension, ucas, lca, any new updates or Re gearing?

[@303RUBIX]

Do you sir. Your GX is so dialed in. Enjoy is the point

[@johnpark6138]

The best version of you … is you.
