    Great watching as always. If you enjoy a bit of a fossic and early gold mining history you would LOVE a visit to the Goldfields in Western Australia. Thousands of mine shafts, abandoned mining equipment, ghost towns, graves and 100 year old bush pubs scattered through the middle of nowhere!

    Another great weekly adventure. I don’t comment much. We have been using the toilet seat also for a couple of years. And yes, my fingers have felt the pinch before. We use the HardKorr lighting inside our 23Zero. Love how it turns orange also so the bugs kinda stay away. We do run the GARB too but the friction pinch straps just don’t seem to hold much weight, especially going down bumpy roads. I have found that our bag is hanging near the ground. I love how it stays black in the sun and the zippers haven’t failed us yet. Take care you guys. We appreciate your videos and history lessons. ✌️

    The only nugget you will find is if someone did not follow Mama bears advice and cover their hole they dug. Caroline is adorable, I really miss that age when your daughter will sing, color and still has an imagination. Be safe, stay healthy and have fun.

    Wow, this episode sparked so many memories. Several years ago I got to spend 3 weeks in Alamogordo on a work trip and we did some adventuring on the afternoons and weekends. Went to the Valley of Fires (covered in snow), White Sands, and Carlsbad Caverns. On our way back from Carlsbad Caverns, we happened to find the Texas Pit BBQ a block up from where y'all stopped for gas in Cloudcroft. We're from Knoxville, and had two Auburn alums on our team so we were surprised by all the 'Bama stuff on the walls. One of the Auburn guys started looking at some of the photos and recognized some of the areas from his hometown. Turned out he went to highschool with the owners kids. One of the few good spots we could find Southern Sweet Tea out there, and we ended up with a gallon or two to-go!

    Thanks for the video. Before you give up on zippers in the offroad, about 4 yrs ago I started using WD-40's DRY LUBE PTFE spray. It will evaporate so it is dirt & dust resistant & is a rattle can. I used it on the zippers on my Jeep LJ top to make it easier to remove the side curtians & back window. I buy mine from Amazon. Looking forward to next weeks video already.

    A tip for the clean waste toilet. If you are a bigger (fat lol) guy like me when you lean over to finish things off with TP the toilet will want to lean over. A really simple hack to make it rock solid is to take the top off and flip the toilet 180 degrees and use it "backwards" with the two legs in the front. It is way more stable this way. I honestly don't get why it isn't designed that way in the first place.

If you havent you'd be interested since its an old mining town and theres even a small muesem open Friday and Saturday during the summer months although I don't know if they're open this summer due to the pandemic. It's 9 miles from Hwy 180w. It's paved but I've heard you can drive through all the way to i25 and the pavement ends just passed Mogollon. Cool video by the way, keep it up! 👍

THE OTHER YEARS WERE JUST AS NICE BUT DIDN'T HAVE A SOLID FRONT AXCEL AN SAT TO LOW. AFTER 91 BUT THEY WERE STILL ALL TRUCK AN NEEDED A LIFT AN YOUR OFF. THIS NEWER SUV HAVE THE SIZE BUT NOT THE DRIVE TRAIN. YA FROM 73-O6 THE TAHOES AN SUBURBANS WERE THE WRITE SIZE. IT'S WILD HOW THE NEWER MID SIZE SUV AN PICKUPS ARE THE SAME SIZE AS A OLDER FULL SIZE PICK UP OR SUV AN THE NEWER FULL SIZE SUV AN PICKS ARE JUST TO BIG FOR OFF ROADING. ANY WAYS I LIKE YOUR VEDIO AN KEEP HAVING FUN AN MAKING HAPPY MEMORIES. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE AN LIVE ON. I WOULDNT WORRY MUCH ABOUT YOUR TOYOTA THEY HAVE ALL WAYS BEEN BUILT STRONGER THAN US DESIGN SUV'S. BET YOU DIDN'T NO YOUR TOYOTA SUV FRONT IFS FOR A LONG TIME WAS ABLE TO HANDLE AN 35 IN TIRE OFF ROADING FOR A VERY LONG TIME NOW. SO YA TOYOTA'S FOR RUNNERS HAVE A BIG HEAD START ON HOW TO MAKE A TUFF OFF ROAD SUV.
