- Ultimate Adventure has been a bucket list trip for me for almost 2 decades. In today's video we will take our Toyota Tacoma on Ultimate Adventure 2022 and see how our little 2021 taco can handle a few days of real trail abuse. We broke stuff, we made friends and had an amazing adventure because @onXOffroad was willing to help me check this off of the bucket list! So, thank you OnX and thank you folks for watching!

One man's broken taco is another man's plate of nachos? 😀 Thanks for bringing us along Nate, it looks like an amazing time (breakages and body damage aside). 👍🇨🇦
Yes indeed, and I love nachos especially with avocados
Lol this is spectacular 👌. Thanks for watching and for making me hungry 😁
@@DirtLifestyle only thing wrong with ifs,,is ifs..no travel, weak, too many parts..you watched offroad hub.. fj crusier. i told him, they break, he fitted s/duty diffs..
@@DirtLifestyle you seem so talented as a fabricator but i don't get the point of this?
Have Had a similar experience with the milestar Patagonia's ran them on my rig in 2 different sizes they are all right in dry rock out west but in the east I have had and seen 6 sidewall failures in 4 sets between me and friends.
Yeah milestars only downfall is sharp shale rock into the sidewall.
That was one heck of an R&D mission with the IFS system.
Not surprised about that van window, that guy was bombing, how he kept it upright was amazing.
Too True!!
Good times! Looks like a blast of a trip.
I love that your truck fits Into a bunch of the "overlanding Toyota" stereotypes but also shatters them.
Does it have a bunch of LED's all over that change color and a rooftop tent? Yes.
Does it do the gnarliest trails at Windrock and crawl up stuff buggy's struggle on? Also yes.
Amazing build Nate. Keep up the amazing content!! You're an inspiration to fabricators and 4x4 enthusiasts everywhere 🤘🤘🤘
Great video! I've been waiting for more content lol but can we talk about how insanely cool it was to have Fred and Dave for DED guide you? That's awesome
Good days
We're back!!!! Added to the playlist for tonights viewing. Can hardly wait!
Thanks for the continued support 🙌
Dude, this is so freaking epic. I know how much work you have put into making your 3rd gen as capable as possible. And even though it still has a ton of factory parts and configurations on it as it is, that thing did so much better than I imagined it would.
This was a seriously awesome video, and I am so grateful that you took us along for the ride. 🤙
Yep!!!! Those milestars are super cool until they aren’t…. I switched to the Mickey Thompson Baja boss MT. Super happy so far.
Great video. I loved the tacoma build series. I have seen the Barnes products in several youtubers videos( MORR, Fabrats and yours) , but never realized they were in my back yard until you mapped them.
No apologies needed Nate, you were out there enjoying yourself which you are allowed to do even as a RUclipsr but you were also out there using the trucks you build for why they were built, the video was worth the wait.
For me, it's about doing work on my vehicles so I can go out to enjoy, not going out so I can do vehicle work in the shop. Maybe I need a second dedicated vehicle build, time to talk with the wife me thinks😉. Looks like a lot of fun just the same though 😎
Thanks for sharing your experience at UA Nate! Loved your music choices! Looking forward to the next video 👍!
So cool to watch you wheel your rig. I’m so happy you had the opportunity to go and do ultimate adventures
I'm impressed the rack and front diff held up. More-so the diff, I think the rack was an upgrade from a Landcruiser if I remember correctly. Make sense that the front subframe wasn't up to the task. A little reinforcement for the rack mounting locations will help. Same thing you'd need to do with a frame mounted steering box.
Having aftermarket front CV shafts is a huge plus on this truck. If those were stock shafts or joints I wouldn't have been surprised if you broke one.
For that bolt that keeps backing out check into some distorted thread lock nuts. McMaster also has flex-top lock nuts. I've never used them though.
Looks like the truck held up really well. Awesome job on the build.
Highly cool Nate thanks for taken us along with you. That looked like some very outstanding place to wheel.
Yoooo, i love your videos. I love how y'all really show what your rigs can do. Thanks for not babying it. This is the baddest Tacoma out there. Others are mall crawlers compare to yours...
Nate! Thank you for getting something out there! I’ve been anxiously waiting to see what you have been up to. Thanks for the great, well thought out and well edited content my friend!
The Tacoma is definitely cool, but I’m still sticking around waiting for the TJ to get some love!
Milestar tires are supposed to be really good, and they work great for some people, but I'm sure you won't regret the change to BFG KM3s! KM3s are beasts!!!
This was a great video, a lot of action and awesome trails. one of the few videos I don’t hear you bashing the Tacoma and comparing it with your Jeep as much… 😂😂😂
Nice adventure. You needed the break! Building content I am super stoked for new ideas!!
Found your channel a week or so ago. I’ve probably watched 6 hours of it by now. LOVE your content man!
Good to have you back, Nate! Looking forward to what’s next
Have always wondered if IFS would survive on UA, thanks Nate 🤘🇨🇦🇺🇦
We need more videos like this man! I hope to see you out on the trails in Naches or on the BDR one of these days! That Toyota is an absolute BEAST!
I love seeing the ifs go. It moves well and the formula for ultimate adventure with the 1 ton full body smaller rig on one Tons has been beat to death. This is so different. Solid on the street. Great offroad. That’s a tough balance to strike.
I would agree I with they mad the rtc or whatever it's called for my 2nd gen runner I would totally sell one of my kids to buy it lowland keep it ifs
Thanks man! I'm glad to see some IFS appreciation. And I'm with you, watching IFS work it's way through obstacles is pretty fascinating. The tires travel up and down without rolling onto the sidewall and it just looks cool.
Welcome back Nate. Good to see you you back on! Great wheelin spot! All together great episode!
Those are some really intense wheeling, but it is so much more impressive to film these footage yourself at the same time. Full respect Nate! Btw, does your RCV clicks? I can hear some clicking but not sure if it was them. My fairly new RCVs click and pop sometimes. RCV told me this is normal because of harder material. But at the same time, they also say clicking is a sign for rebuild. Not very consistent messages.
Great footage Nate, No need to apologies for going out Wheeling. for 34 days and not posting videos right away. we all understand. Looks like you had a epic wheeling adventure. An hung out with a great group of wheeler.
Hey Nate on minute 8:34-8:49 I noticed a clicking sound taking place as the front tire rotated. Do you know where that came from? I just recently installed my RCLT kit on my 3rd gen Tacoma and was hearing the same clicking sound coming from my front driver side when I took it wheeling for the first time. Would be great to know more about where it’s coming from if you have any info on it!
If you have RCV's with your setup then that is most likely what it is. Google/youtube rcv clicking and you will find a bunch of posts about it.
WINDROCK Trail #39/#40 is one of my favs anywhere!
Just did them last week, although it was wetter
Man you guys were super close to home this year. I know where you stopped at that advance and the private off-road place you guys went too.
Great footage. Glad your rockin KM3's. Back to work.
The camera never does it justice. Nice work in the taco!
Thanks! I'm having alot of fun in this thing!
So impressive that a longer rig could do those trails-it even had the rooftop tent still on!
Great job on the video! Thanks for making it.
You have one sweet truck! sorry to hear about the tire troubles..I'm a big fan of bfg tires!
Excellent video, from the trail footage to the breakdown. From a wheelers point of view. This is the best there is.
When you're in nothing but big, sharp rocks and mud like that, sidewalls are huge! For average wheelers, Moab, Sand, I think the Milestars are a good tire.
Glad you’re back dude, been missing your work.
Thanks for sharing. Missed your regular weekly posting.
Still looks pretty wicked ON CAMERA, too !!!
Great footage, great storytelling. Thanks Nate!
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed the analysis of the failures, it will help us all build better rigs. thank you
Glad you enjoyed it man!
Loved this vid. I've watched UA on motor trend and this fresh "boots on the ground" view was great.
What a cool opportunity to be on UA!! Crazy about the milestars…
I spun my bolt around so that even if the nut falls off the bolt stays in place. Its dumb that the bolt was installed against gravity from the factory. Love the truck dude
Dude that chevy EXPRESS MAN😂
Man I missed your videos, but that was amazing!!! That taco is crazy cool.
Thanks! I'm loving this Tacoma lately! Finally getting it dialed in 👍
Really enjoying the 20-30 minute videos. I see to many RUclips videos trying to cram everything into 10 minutes. Keep up the good work.
When you had the upper control arm nut and bolt come loose.
Is there anyway of doing a double nut lock on the upper control arm.
Say a slightly thinner nut first to hold it all together then a lock nut of some kind, like a nylon lock nut.
So you can lock the two nuts together to try and stop the bolt and nut of the upper control arm from coming loose or worse loosing the nut and possibly the bolt of the upper control arm.
You could make the front skid plate from stainless steel say 16 - 12 gauge or standered 18 gauge for strength and lightness it will be heavier than aluminium but lighter than standard steel.
On your tyre's try going for a thicker ply tyre say for eg:
8ply to 12ply
12ply to 16ply.
If I am getting this right that the thicker wall of the tyre is stiffer but also a bit more robust to splitting.
They are my thoughts on some of the thing that came up after your trip, you may have a better idea than what I have.
But most of all one wicked ride. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
From Philip Burrows in Overton on Dee, Wrexham, Wales, UK.
The double nut trick is an oldie but a goodie. And I'm still debating on how to proceed with the front skid. Tube can work as a great skid and shave weight but some thinner/higher tensile strength steel would be easy. 👍
Great video Nate. I actually use orange lock tite on my upper UCA thru bolt. I have lost that nut out in Anza Borego and carry extra nuts and bolts for all of my suspension parts. Happy willing and great informative content as always.
Welcome back mate. Love your vids.
Thank you! It's great to be back!
Very interesting. I’ve only had two sidewall issues in my 10 years of wheeling. One on stt pros and the other on duratracs. The duratrac was my fault the stt pro this year I’m hoping was just a fluke. I’ve had them for two years with this being the first issue. Idk what to think about the patagonias because I see other people like Matt’s recovery have great success with them.
Man love the truck! Definitely a dream for my taco
Awesome video! That is some rough, hard wheeling right there.
Awesome to see how that thing continues to evolve, and great video. One idea to get the front to flex more (I had the same problem on my GX) would be to put a sway bar on the rear. A correctly placed antirock bar with some long arms may do the trick to try to keep the rear more level forcing the front to flex, but still not stopping the rear from full articulation when needed.
Missed the videos. Welcome back.
I am not a IFS hater, but it has 2 major drawbacks in my book. You need to be very wide to get good travel out of the front. Secondly, unless you start with a 86-89 4runner or pickup, the body clearance sucks on newer vehicles. My problem is not the IFS it is usually the platform it comes on.
Love this footage Nate and love the Taco. The bed set up is so sweet! If I had the cash, I would put that on my Raptor
Thanks man!
That was a great adventure!!
Owsome drive. Thanks for sharing. 😃
Cheers. 🍻
2:51 man that m715 Kaiser is my dream crawler. Also I’ve always wondered who are the drivers of the production vans? They’ve gotta be just as skilled 😂
Looks like a heck of a good time. Glad you only had minimal damage.
That was a cool adventure! I’d love to see you get a 1st gen 4Runner and solid axle swap it with the trail gear sas kit. That’s what most regular people buy when they sas and that’s what I want to use but I’ve never built anything. Would love to see you do it step by step with a Toyota mini truck front axle.
I listened with headphones so I could hear all the beautiful engine noises.
keep up the killer content, cant wait to see the UA footage. always nice to see a good mix of build and wheelin content.
Looks like a blast. If the front still doesn't flex better with the wheel spacers you could put a slightly stiffer spring in the rear
Love that LOOSE & LOST hoodie!
Like that Big van !!
Absolutely love your front bumper lol if it were for sale id buy it! perfect minimal style
Thank you! I built it minimalist and out of .95 to keep it super light. So far, it's working 💪
@@DirtLifestyle looks like it! Watched your video on it, makes want to try to do my own but i suck a welding lol 😂
Dual case and 42s, then you'll be a monster
You should try the Mickey thompson Pro Xs tires. You'll be amazed how good it is
My buddy saw you at Potts Mountain. Said the Tacoma looked like a beast!
Nice! Everyone I met out there was really cool
Love your stuff bro!! Keep it up!!
Nate this is the best and most epic episode 🙌🏼 nothing is hard if you from the pnw! Your the boss 💯
Hawk pride is always a muddy mess 😂 awesome video
Dang, I have heard of that upper A-Arm bolt coming loose on folks.
2 things I've heard broadly.
1.) It's a 1 time use bolt thats torque to yield
2.) You should loctite it during an install of any upper A-Arm.
Pro tip from the Toyota manual, based on the orientation of the bolt from the factory, you cut it off the first time, and install the other way moving forward.
The con to that of course is the need of loctite given that the bolt that can walk off if it comes loose (like it did here).
Shoot, now that I finished watching the video that was epic.
You have helped shape my ideas about what I want to build for sure, and I love being able to pull from your experience.
HI NATE 👋
THAT WAS AWESOME ! GLAD EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME & NOBODY GOTTEN HURT IT SOUNDS LIKE 👍 CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE VIDEO WHEN IT COMES OUT !
QUESTION ? MY NEPHEW IS RAISING MY 1999 FORD F150 XLT 4.6L EXTENDED CAB 4X4 . 3 " TORSION KEY & 5 " REAR LIFT BLOCKS . DEFINITELY HIGHER & MAYBE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS WHEN TASTY WAS YOUNGER / NEWER ?
BUT WHO DO YOU LIKE FOR FRONT END PARTS UPPER & LOWER CONTROL ARMS 🤔 ? MY NEPHEW HAS TO REBUILD THE BUMP STOPS / ALL THE SALT USED & NEW CHEMICAL SPRAY FOR ICE & SNOW
FOR THE WINTER ROAD / HWYS & SOME BEACH ⛱ DRVING . EVEN THOUGH TAKEN TO CAR / TRUCK WASH STILL RUSTED A LOT . SOMETHING ABOUT THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS NEED TO BE LONGER I THINK , WILL HAVE TO CHECK ✔ ASK AGAIN BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 THANK YOU 🙏 GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD A BLAST I KNOW YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO SEE 👀 YOUR FAMILY ! YOU WERE MISSED !
Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have a great answer to your question. The brands I preferred are companies like Barnes 4wd but they just make the parts to build it yourself. I don't have enough experience with bolt on kits to have a favorite. Good luck with your project!
Damn .I live in Florence and never knew about this.those trails have seen a lot of crazy stuff
Welcome back!
Awesome video nate
Great video Nate. But, did anyone notice the Jeep gladiator 4xE at 18:37 of the video.
watched the UA videos on motor trend. this video right here will be better then their video. good job!
I am over in your neck of the woods. I pick up a load at old castle pre mix in south side of the Tacoma area. Run it back to Missoula,then go home. Hunting season just started, oh yeah my 20th anniversary is this week I should probably be home for that. My wife and I seen you drive thru our small town here in western Montana last year with the land Rover behind the motor home. At first we were not sure if it was you then you posted up about the ghost town and the fires that we had going on here. It looks like you had a good time with those guys on UA . I still refer to your build series on different projects that I have going on. Do you think that you will be able to work on the LBDT this year? That's what actually got me watching your channel. Then finding out that you are in the PNW caught our attention to. Thanks again for the information on your build.
Watching the way your tires flex definitely looks like pinch flats, something about the Patagonia's construction is not up to the task. Hopefully the BFG's hold up better
I've seen sketchy videos of that van all over instagram. 🤣
Had lower oil pressure crawling on rocks too. 17 TRD OR. Build not LT. doesn’t matter if it was flat or include slow crawl under 1000rpm in 4wd low I had a manual I would get low oil pressure and the truck would stall. This is the fail safe cutting ignition preventing damage. Never figured it out till my DI Pump failed and found a worn cam. Fixed it and upgraded to a TJ. SO I think I did haha. Does your ever smoke oil out the exhaust on steel inclines ?
No apologies
Your channel, your directives
We’re just along for the ride 🤙
I think Lite Brite started the fad of the Patagonia tires. Soon after, Brad (trailrecon) had them, Matt (MOOR) had them and still does, you, and many others. It's pretty obvious it was started as a sponsor promo as Lite Brite has Nitto sponsor now. Brad has BFG's now, and others have moved to something else. I'd love to see you sponsored by Nitto or Toyo. In my opinion they are the best over all. Before I bought Toyo's I looked at the Patagonia's just to see what the hype was about. The first thing I noticed was the weak sidewalls. I couldn't see how those were holding up to LB and others. I just couldn't do it. Thank gawd! I don't blame anyone for having a sponsor. I do think everyone should do their own research prior and not follow any fad.
After watching this, I'm not sure any tire could survive at the pressure you run. I saw several times where the tire was squished flat to the rim against some of the rocks. Might need a couple more pounds to save the sidewalls.
I think that M715 is the one with a Dodge V-10 in it!
Well done sir
Great video!
Awesome video thank you.
Missed you! Now do some real rock crawler fab😂😂😂
Did some R&D at Barnes 4wd there!
Nice job Nate. It was great to see your ultimate adventure footage!
I spied Ian Johnson from Xtreme Offroad / Four Wheeler / Big Tire Garage make a cameo appearance there @ 8:02.
