Thank you guys for watching. If you guys want a signed print for your wall I print all of them myself from my large format Canon printer larrychenprints.com/
I’ve been eyeing one for some time now!
Oh man i wish hé did 2!!
I bought a black one from 2000 after i saw the first video about the rav4 very hard to find one with ac here in the netherlands. I traded in my touareg for it 😅😂 i Love this little car its a joy to drive compared to that touareg. The touareg was also a very cool car but its just so heavy, its very comfy tho but no driving fun.
The RAV4 is proof you don’t need an expensive vehicle to go out doors and just have some dun in nature 👍🏾👍🏾 I love this episode Larry.
He's got that RAV4 set up really nicely with the turbo engine swap and suspension. It's a legit dune rig.
A lot of guys buy Suzuki Samurai’s for cheap and trick them out for glamis.
@@KosmicHRTRacingTeam there aren't any "cheap" Samurais out there any more 🤣
Could probably build a nice Vitara or Chevy tracker too for the dunes
this is not a normal rav4, stephan has the build on his channel
I wish Papadakis had done more vids on the Rav4.
I wish the same😂
I've waited for a whole year for part 3. Sigh.
Papadakis's Rav4 is amazing I love the custom suspension he put on it! Legendary!!
That is so incredible, brother. I love the fact that you are nervous and you are pushing yourself through that to enjoy what you are doing great adventure, man. That's so awesome, brother. I have a lot of respect for you conquering your fear.
I really want more content on that RAV4 build but Mr Papadakis went quiet... Throw us some bone lol.
The FJ is dope but I love that Rav! Papadakis needs to post more vids.
i wish papa dakis made more videos about the build tho
Steph trying to close his door is such a 1st gen rav thing.
Larry banging off the limiter it awesome. I love that he’s just as much into driving as well as shooting
Glad you got out and used the truck you built to put a smile on your face.
Keep the momentum going whether you are in the dunes, rocks, dirt or mud. Momentum is your friend, until you loose it, haha!
Keep shreddin'!
The Rav is an amazing little car!! I have a bone stock 97 RAV4 and it will do a 2nd gear burn out and will do 85 in third gear! I’ve also jumped it and had it buried to the frame in sand and she’s still alive and rippin!!
that whine sounds so sick
That's why I love taking my Suzuki samurai out there
supercharger whine sounds so good. I need one for my 4R
I'm a nobody that recently reached out to Papadakis to inquire about the specs of the Rav4 as I have a similar 3SGTE swapped 4 door Rav4 with a Celica GT Four gear box that I'm building into a rally vehicle. He was super nice to help me with some advice. Super cool
Haha!! Dude,,that diesel rattle at 25:37in the dunes was awesome.
5:02 “he is the dune expert” 😂 I just watched 9 tons of matte black ford not shred the dune… it went ⛴️📉
Your Fj is actually the most capable in the dunes, I have driven alot of offroad rig in the dunes and the Fj is if I may say the perfect balance, between weight and power. The only difference between your fj and our fj set up here is the tires, we use a more street tire than offroad tires. The famous brand here is the geolandar G015
I have to say that this video was so much fun! Thank you from an old lady who can't get out anymore!
That tundra and FJ should have no issues in those dunes
One of the top channels! Larry you are a fantastic watch. Genuine passion, honesty and the variety of culture you bring is inspiring.
Thank you dude.
Amazing Video Larry! Thankyou!
Such and awesome video guys. Man, I miss Glamis. Thank you for capturing it so well!
I can't fathom anyone that know's who Stephan is would ever say no to him Larry...you made the right choice of course! LOL
This is awesome guys...smiles per mile are very high level in this one!
26:26 - ROFLMFAO!!!
Can't tell you how much appreciate the guys on camera and their stabilization is on point!
I aslo have an FJ.....with a manual transmission.... 😄COOL VIDEO
That is a sick opening shot of you rolling through the dunes, Larry! You can see your expression and all.
Great video. It is difficult to convey scale and angles of the dunes, but you managed it well.
I am predicting that SUVs start growing in more popularity this year with the modifying sub culture. I think we are all starting to realize that after much time, effort and money we’d like that to result in a vehicle that can do more than dodge lanes and look good.
For stock FJ wheels, we go 12psi front, 10 psi rear to avoid pop out. For bead lock you can go between 7 to 9 psi depending on how soft the sand is
We need some off roadin' content now! I love this video 😎
"It's amazing that under all this sand ... is just MORE sand!"
-Larry Chen, 2023
😁😁😇😇😁😁
Looks like you guys are having a blast. Been duning myself for over 50 years. Rail for 20 years.
I love watching the FJ out in its element
Steph is such a knowledgeable guy, I want to see more content from him!
The raw excitement and nervousness is so great.
That clip at the beginning of your FJ was great 😂
I watched this whole shit and I loved it! Fire vid. I love living in SD
The Yokohama MT G003 are the tires that are true Jack of all trades. Great video there and so nice to see the RAV4 here against the FJ Cruiser.
Stephan has been starving us from an update on his Rav4 build so I am glad to see it here. Great video!
This was an awesome video. Now it's time for a before and after fj detail video. How do you get all the sand out?
Man I love this. That supercharger does incredible. Steph makes me want a RAV4! I actually really like that body style.
Glamis is my home. So sweet seeing quality content coming out of there.
Papadakis is just soo awesome
12:32 or so Larry you look like you're navigating a boat in sea of sand. lol. Nice like Papadakis said getting out of your comfort zone. 👍
The RAV4 has the big advantage of the super low weight and COG, he could go sidehilling and step on the brakes if he wants and that thing won't roll over, the FJ Cruiser is far more capable on the dunes than the RAV4, it has a lockable rear diff and the transfer case is split 50/50 (the RAV4 is an AWD transfer case, he needs momentum on the dunes, plus it has no low range), it just need smaller tires with maybe a more negative offset wheels and a LSD front differential, the Ford guy is the bravest because if that truck broke down in the dunes there's no way you can drag him out of there. Also an FJ Cruiser on 35's and with some beadlock wheels you can go easy on 4-5 psi on the tires, and the difference in traction compared with 10 psi is amazing
That was a fun day in the dunes! Glad you enjoyed the BBQ 😎
Awesome to see you enjoying the dunes Larry! Don’t under rate the FJ, With some more experience/ comfort level you’ll find that thing is more than capable to do most anything you’d want out there.
I roll my 2500hd through the dunes too. It's priceless to crest a razor back and there are rzrs on the other side and they scatter
That rav4 driver and the car in general doing gods work out here I’m scored on a 2 door that I plan swapping in a 3s gte
Definitely different and I love it
Yoda bro 😂love the license plate!!
That looks awesome
Your friends that have rigs and aren't duning are missing out on so much fun. It's scary, I did it for the first time a month ago but it's tons of fun.
Hey Hot Wheels should do your FJ next . This would be so freakin awesome. Amazing driving Mr C💪
This is a whole different fun!!!
heres a tip for those that want to try.. when off roading , thumbs up. you dont want to have your thumb facing the wrong way when in Glamis.. thats a whole lot of time to be in pain before you can get help. dam n that diesel... cant believe that tank actually floats.... insane.. also .. wouldnt mind building a rav 4 from the ground up.. but monies are much needed. maybe just go for a mini pajero instead.,.
Golden rules. Don't fight gravity, Don't use break when going side slope, if your wheel running you are good. When you feel the car start to drift on the side slope tap tap tap the throttle. Try to drive on 4L 3rd & 4th gear.
Badass, the dunes look fun, maybe one day I'll take my 4runner to the dunes
Larry! Please repost the tundra build series! Can’t find the videos anywhere!
With the fj how did you have it set up where you in 4h. Or where you in 4L with locker on?
The 1GR in a the current gen Supra would've been a better move for the Toyota Fans.
5:40
The RAV4 is so sick
Good save with the walkie-talkies!! 😅
That fj is so wicked !!!
I could tell by how rough the terrain feels in the car that the tyre pressure is still too high.. definitely could have blown the down alittle more. The Fj is the best dune car in the world.
Gotta love car dudes trying their hand at off-road lol
That day looks like a blaaast
Are those KMC's available for FJ fitment yet?
What do you have your transfer case set to?
Glamis, while fun AF, will take you out of your comfort zone real quick. Miss running around that place! Nothing else like it that I've found. Glad you went for it Larry!
I own a 2007 Toyota fj cruiser i also installed a Magnuson supercharger now i upgrade my coil packs to ripp PERFORMANCE COIL PACKS what a huge difference in acceleration if more aggressive
More people need a first Gen Rav4, they need more aftermarket support
Is that a subaru hood scoop?
I wish that Florida had places like this to drive...it seems like much of the land here is owned by someone who has no trespassing signs everywhere.
Nice!
Cool dunes 😎
More speed larry glamis is all about momentum I've taken fwd sedans out there you just need to slow down for the transition from down hill to up hill the transitions over bowl to bowl are more scary then dangerous just commit there's gonna be ground over there
sweet ass rides... wow!
Love the FJ, hate the elbow basher that diamond plate makes up for in the interior
Wait, the two coolest people on the planet 😂
I would never follow Brian in the dunes 🤣🤣🤣
Sad that we didn't get anymore videos from him on his RAV4
Hummer EV in the dunes sounds like a must see
The FJ will do everything the Rav will do. The difference is the driver 100%
I know this is off base an topic. But have cars an motor sports been the only things you photograph or film ? If not what's else have you created that possibly the audience or your fans have yet to see?
So fun lookn
I have been dying to see updates on papadakis RAV4 on their channel for over a year now. Thanks for the upload.
The sand is scary quick sand haha
There are sand dunes like this in the US?!
it nearly has every sort of terrain and climate, im telling you america is a huge playground.
you can do anything automotive i think.
We have two areas in CO.....
Larry needs to get stuck so he can stop worrying about it haha
Now Take The FJ Mud Riding Down South Mud Bogging With A Snorkel
Steph has allows been the cool even from the NAT day
So you think that’s fun. Next step is SXS, then quad, then dirt bike. When you are on dedicated “toys” and not human transporters, you worry less about crashing, or rolling or getting stuck and much more about the fun side of things (speed, jumping, etc).
4 door Rav4 is 100x better looking than the 2 door version.
love yodas... thx japan!
Pull forward and the trunk would shut i bet!
Contact Casey to help get that burn truck out of there
Ppl were not thinking that bro... Im one of those guys looking at you and WE are thinking " this dumbaz is gonna get stuck or destroy his tranny, yo brett u wanna tow him out? Brett- nope he will learn the hard way" ...
