X Overland's Ultimate Tacoma Overland Build 2 Ways//First Tacoma PCOR Tray Bed//One With GFC Camper

[@jamescliftonbates]

To the "sell-out" comments here: when you bust your tail for decades perfecting your craft of story-telling, filming, editing, voice-overs, travel logistics, team-building, etc, brands such as Toyota, ARB, PCOR, etc, want to work with you so that their products gain exposure to a targeted audience and because they know their products will be highlighted in such a way that aligns with the way they want their products highlighted to a mass audience. What XO does is no different than Nike wanting their products on Tiger Woods because they saw him as the best golfer in the world. Awesome builds, XO crew! The vast majority of us appreciate what you do and what you put out for our enjoyment! (ps what pants do you all have on? I need some.)

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thanks for the kind words! The pants are Fjallraven🔥

[@Beattheroutine]

I think you’re missing the point of many of these “sell out” comments. The point is that these builds are unrealistic to the average offroad enthusiast. No one is saying they don’t deserve it. This is an awesome channel but not many can afford these setups. You can’t even find TRD Tacomas at Toyota dealerships these days.

[@jamescliftonbates]

@@Beattheroutine I hear you, but calling someone or some organization a "sell-out" presumes that said someone or organization subscribes to the notion that they are aligned equally with the person calling them out under the pretense that what they promote is realistic. I haven't seen any of XO's content regarding these trucks claiming to be realistic or affordable for the average off-road enthusiast. With that common denominator, it's not logical to call XO a "sell-out".

[@ebuqble33]

When I watch overlanding videos on KZbin i see one thing in common for all , Toyotas and Isuzu. They are for a reason.

[@tnoutdoors7016]

When the Vid strikes and you have to quarantine from the rest of the family, you do it in the back of your 4Runner while in your version of the X Hanger. (ok ok its my garage). But being able to watch XO build videos and the new Alaska launch make it a little more tolerable. Great work on the builds guys!! Top notch as always.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you! Sorry your sick but love that you found a fun place to watch! Get better soon!

[@edl8538]

I'd love to see a behind the scenes video of the two builds. With details on installation challenges, total (MSRP) cost, hours spent on the build, what works and what doesn't, What you wish you could improve, etc.

[@coolftp]

I think it's rather impossible. These videos are sponsored. If something doesn't work, it's replaced silently. Someone who gives them tires or other equipment for free does not want 100,000. people watched something break. This is the power of marketing - talk about positive things, not negative ones; sometimes you have to add fragments from the installation that something seems to be going wrong to add realism and such a thrill, stress, etc. In fact, Alaska can be attacked with new equipment worth less than $ 40,000. For example, you buy a new Tacoma with a 4-cylinder engine, an access cab and a utility package without rear seats. For an additional $1,500 you can install a rear lockout and compressor, for $2,000 you change the suspension, for an additional $1,500 you buy new tires and for $3,500 you buy an extrahigh canopy. All you have to do is install a 2" receiver on the back and front and buy a winch that mounts to the 2" receiver + some hauling equipment. Together with canopy heating and a mattress, you'll get around $40,000 with a new car and gear, and maybe $20,000 with a slightly used one. What is shown in the videos costs at least $60,000-70,000 in total and a lot of labour, but actually - I think - it only costs them labour; the rest is advertising.

[@Jack-fd8cx]

Man someday I'm going to make a copy of this for my own tacoma!!! Slowly but surely, this is the goal!!!

[@NorthOz]

I love that you guys do full engineering and 3-D scanning for the best products over many months. Meanwhile, I slap together a build with left over plywood and fashion myself a setup in a day. Different approaches but you have to laugh at the gap between my channel and yours. Probably why you guys are so successful too. You guys are crushing it and it gave me some good ideas 👍 Always good to see my state in Australia getting a shout-out too. We need more 🇺🇸 products over here and you need more 🇦🇺 products over there.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

It’s all great stuff. Doing what you do is awesome as well!

[@BrettWilliamson]

Those fourbys are looking very Australian in America nowadays. Lovely builds you've done.

[@GoodkatNW]

The presenter's beard appears to grow at the same rate as the build progress. 10/10 Super expensive builds for your average overlander, but this looks like the best-of-the-best product consolidation from different vendors. Very cool

[@laloolhouvum1634]

Wow what a rig. With all it gears, electronics, expensive lights all around, the pcor canopy, Dual winch, custom bullbar, great tyres(expensive😃), Redarc power system with extra lithiums, state of the art suspension system, lockers, full belly armoured the list goes on. You guys are fortunate to have a sponsorship and to be able to built an overlanding vehicle of this caliber (I'm jealous🤫). Me and my friends(5) in two ISUZU d-max (all terrain) we went to the Himalayan range and Ladakh was our target. It took us exactly 2 weeks to reach from the North East part of India. ARB winch(runva 8k lbs) compatible front bumpers and dual swing rear. Both the truck got pair of spots on the front bumper(BD LP pro 4) with S1 led fog lamps swap with the stock one's, A pillars flood (BD S1 amber), headlights are stock, couple of rack mounted leds(cheap), 1 high lift jack, shovels, traction boards(Amazon).One got manager 30 system with 120 w lithium, we got stock TC, HDC and E rear locker, yakima racks with RTT, ARB awning (e-bay), 2 inch lift with Fulcrum suspension, Bridgestone 33s A/T, we carry a lot of jerry-can cause we don't have long range fuel system, one truck spare has to be located in the stock carrier (cuts and trims) so, that it carry more jerrys, at one point we bought petrol from a loaded tanker on the road. Climbing was tough, challenging and scary cause on the left there's nothing but a thousand feet drop down. Elevation sickness make us stationary for one full day. We got lots of pictures and few videos(GoPro).

Guys, remember where you came from. Now shipping vehicles and fancy gadgets (your now saying you have always used, not when you started out). Great you guys have come so far, i think dial back a little and acknowledge that this is a far way from where you started rather than act like this has always been you.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

From day one we have tried to build the best trucks we can muster. The mentality has never changed.

[@niki3151]

​@@ExpeditionOverland it felt like you guys built what you could and had fun. Forgotten cables for cameras, jokes (Ryan you forgot something) and the hard hitting truths of what made you all take the leap. Sure it took off but the first round of edits it felt like the guys and gals, the experience of camaraderie in the journey and the trucks and bikes that got u there. Now its the build projects/ gear, the expedition and then a crew of people: the XO crew. With each edit a little more of the professional and a little less of just the family friends and people doing cool stuff, bonding, living, getting out. Friendship etc

Spending 90k on a truck is not a bad idea considering that most camper trailers are nearly 50 to 100k. I guess it's all relative you could spend 250k on a large diesel camper van.

Wow wow wow 👌 👏 👍... love the trucks and envy those of you going on such an epic trip.... what a dream. I almost hate to say it... but I only wish that you could have all those upgrades on a Tundra. Only because I would love to have the room of a full size truck. I know that the Tacoma fits the bill for this purpose and outfitted as such. Well it's more than capable and fully proven. But I am a little older and I just like the room and size of the Tundra. However... these are fantastic and this was fantastic and again. I am envious in every way of both the vehicles and the trip. So very cool 😎 👌.

What other modifications did you need to do in order to for the 35” tires? I know you mentioned the cab mount chop, but other trimming to wheel well or fender flares? Flatten the pinch weld? Was it mostly achieves through alignment? I am also running a CBI high clearance front bumper. Can’t wait to watch the rest of the series!

Top Notch video work Clay, you guys are really taking it to the next level, looking forward to this series. I just ordered my first Tacoma last Sat. TRD Offroad. I've been researching tires and see that you guys have used the General Grabbers A/TX on past expeditions. I've been undecided on the BFG KO2's or the Goodyear Dura tracks. I just might have to choose the Grabbers lol.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

You won’t be disappointed! Superb tire.

[@alexmojcher9]

I've had both the ATX and X3 on my vehicles, inspired by General's support for XO. Both are absolutely great tires, and I strongly recommend either one of them depending on your needs. Sounds like the ATX if you're comparing against KO2.

[@gideonstitt9995]

When these builds are complete, how much do these trucks weigh and where does that land relative to the GVWR?

[@3098jorge]

It’s my question too, no way these builds are under payload capacity.

[@geographyinaction7814]

​@@3098jorgeThey are overweight, and grossly so. The Tacoma is not a Hilux, it has nowhere near the payload, braking, suspension, or power. This truck has a useable payload of about 1100 lbs, and that must include fuel, gear, passengers. You cannot increase GVWR, and every ounce of weight you add must be deducted from the available payload. Heavier, larger tires and rims, suspension upgrades, bumpers, armour, canopies, roof racks, awnings, all of that pushes much of that 1100 lbs to the limit...add fuel, water, food, gear, people, you're too heavy. There are people out there that add 1000 lbs campers on these and think they're good. They have also lifted the truck and added hundreds of pounds of gear and think they are fine. The European Rangers, Amoraks, Hilux trucks have payloads that are 2-3 times that of the N. American versions.
