I think the mechanics being happy to help is common all over the planet. I was a motorcycle tech for 16 years in WV and I never turned away anyone traveling that needed a helping hand and a some tools. And I have received help from mechanics while out ridding… what goes around comes around😉

It must really be amazing to be finally reaching the country that has been on the horizon for so long. I enjoyed the part at the beginning about having a plan. Plans lead to expectations and expectations can lead to disappointments, so why have them? I have always liked to keep my options open so that every curve delivers a surprise, you guys seem to be the same way. After all these miles (Kilometers), Sunday seems to be the perfect vehicle. Even when he is down, he never gives up and patiently waits for repairs. The fuel pumps seem to be an anomaly, but maybe it's been like a body rejecting a transplanted organ. The other ones just weren't the right fit. Here's to hoping that Argentina and Patagonia bring you all of the gifts you both so deserve for having the perseverance to never give up.
Thanks for the great content. That cracking sound may be your camper. If I remember correctly, you used rigid mounts to attach the camper to the frame. Given that both cab and camper are attached together, there wasn't much choice but to use rigid mounts. I would do a close inspection of the camper around the mounts, cab splice area, and walls. It's common for cracking to appear in fibreglass camper body walls over time if they're aggressively off-roaded with rigid mounts. It's safer to separate the camper body from the cab and use flexible mounts on the camper.
Bud you're hella courageous!!! I carry a pelican case in the back of my Taco (5vzfe) with everything short of main/ rod bearings at all times. Including 3x Denso coil packs, extra set of plugs and wires and even a full timing belt/ water pump kit. Most of my wheeling is within 1,000 miles from central California so i couldn't even imagine what'd have to carry down to Patagonia to feel "safe" 😅😅😅. As always epic adventures and incredible footage/ story telling. 👏👏👏
Hahah so awesome! We have a full timing belt and water pump as well as a knock sensor harness 😂 we had heard how popular this motor is down here so thought that the basics would be easier to find!
@@fraserwright9482 Curious how that works out for you -- I'm hoping to do the Pan American Hwy in a mostly stock awd SUV -- of course not doing any serious off-roading. My rig is clearly a "pavement princess" for going down bad roads, Ok, but not real off-roading. I'll stick to rural, but somewhat populated areas and smaller cities -- at least that's the "plan" -- lots of AirBnbs, hostels, odd hotel and campgrounds on occasion.
I agree after 6 years we make very little plans. We haul a smoker with us. Can't tell you how much we love it. Got it cheap and add a propane burner to hold the heat at 200°f then add wood chips as needed.
Dan Grec talks about ordering parts from Rock Auto while traveling in Africa and S America. They ship to almost any country using DHL, and have all the parts you'd need for the 5zv-fe engine. Have you looked into ordering from Rock Auto?
We have! The only reason we didn’t hear is because Argentina charges extra for importation and we also don’t have the time to be waiting for parts. Had to improvise!
Yet another masterpiece. 🙌 The entire video from beginning to end. I unfortunately talked myself out of a journey like this when I was young and free. But living it through your uploads is almost as good. Safe travels guys.
Greetings once more from the sunny south Okanagan, thanks for another look at the journey you're on. Good to see you could get the plugs and plug wires, sorry to see another furl pump packing it in, but at least they had one. So many of the aftermarket parts here now seem to be of variable quality anymore. Here's hoping the next stretch will require a tad less wrenching. Safe travels you two.
Thank you! Yes, you’re really rolling the dice these days on parts if you don’t buy straight from the source. We’re confident fifth time is the charm here 😂
I cannot imagine how lonely some of those places are. Yet you always turn a difficult situation into a positive. Please get the spare parts. Travel safely . Ps save me some roast 😅😊😊
This scenery was just amazing! Make sure you fill up on that amazing Beef while you are there, I would call that about a $50 roast when you get back to Canada! Simple border crossings are just the best, sending good vibes Sunday is ready to plow forward for you now and as always, much love 💙
Quick tip. Not sure if you're aware that spark plug wires can be custom made. You should be able to purchase the crimping tool and terminal ends at a parts supplier. You could also use a similar style wire that isn't for that specific vehicle to get by. It's common in the high performance world to custom make plug wires.
When Have Any Of Our Plans Ever Actually Worked? We Plan, We Get There, All Hell Breaks Loose. -Harry Potter And a lot of these mechanics are hoping that you mention their shop (Hint, hint for those of us who might be traveling in Chile next year. :| XO posted Lat/Long with their South America series) You give them payment by giving them recognition. Plus, it's probably more work to bill you through their system than it's worth if they're honest. Said as a mechanic's son.
Building a good car for a road trip like your's is necessary I can see that off road driving has helped you a lot It has become a perfect build for your road trip But these cars also need maintenance And n some countries you as traveler are seen as a guest or a friend and the happy to help you on your way Keep it up the good way maybe with a little help from the locals Have FUN and be SAFE
The roast you cooked was perfect couldn't have done a better job myself , you guys are having a luma fun there and the people in Chile are super and nice to see you got every thing fix and they where so very helpful ,On to the next adventure and be safe my fellow Canucks ..... All love Joe from Muskoka Ontario
I am so excited to see you guys in Chile and Argentina. It will be great to revisit places I saw a few years ago. Not sure i miss the way the wind messed with the moto in Patagonia though.
@@ToyotaWorldRunners Maybe! I was there in November, so early spring. Was still cold and windy. Would actually blow the moto;s over. But was still worth it.
Absolutely fantastic. I'm thrilled to see you include maintenance and repair. I would be happy to see more. Your Patagonia one literally came out while we were watching this one. These are coming out in quick succession it seems, like you're working through backlog. Where are you guys hanging out now?
@@ToyotaWorldRunners Phew! Absolutely love the videos, truly inspiring. I've been traveling the world for a few years on and off, spent a lot of time in Colombia (One of my favorite places in the world). Juggling the idea of just saving up, quitting my job and traveling for as long as I can for quite a few years. Your videos have helped me get closer to a decision to do what I actually want to do, and not just exist for a 9-5. Thank you!
Where exactly is this border crossing you entered in Chile? I've been searching on Google and Garmin. I'm also doing the PanAm and want to cross here. Does it have a name? TYVM
you should let people know, this was exhausting and only recommended without the filming and video editing...do the trip for yourselves next time...good work tho
It’s hard to have a spare everything in your mobile house. Yes lots of it sounds basic but there’s lots of basics you still miss. Hindsight is 20/20. Odds are if you are resourceful there are solutions
If we were relying on luck this whole time, 16 countries means we should buy a lottery ticket hey? On a real note we started this trip with benches full of parts. If you’ve seen our previous videos you’ll know we switched from an in-line fuel pump to and in-tank. We carry a spare in-line in case of emergency, so that we can easily do the job ourselves. We were near a town that was able to drop the fuel tank for us so we chose that. It is amazing how resourceful you can be around the world if you’re willing to make the effort.

We love the part about the fuel pumps. And we feel the same way. We are firm believers that 5th time is the charm here 😅
Cerulean Blue... My favourite! Unreal to see it in a huge lake 💙 so so beautiful 💙❤️💙
Love that Sunday is firing on all cylinders again. 💚
So do we!
B.E.A.Utiful scenery! We're changing the fuel pump on Betty tomorrow JUST because I don't want to share in your fuel pump woes.
That lake is the bluest of blues!

I am the other side of the camp. I take as little as possible. No big tires, no 4WD

Hey guys I think the best way you can have an adventure is when you can live it amazing absolutely amazing
Another great viewing. So satisfying to see Sunday get all that love.
The irony of the tomatoes going to the birds. They’ll eat the seeds, disregard borders, and shit/plant the seeds in Chile. Life will find a way…
😂😂
Let that sink in!
Another awesome episode from TWR. Thanks.
Literlly burst with joy when u reference Shaun whale. ❤️ I love those guys and yall!

Well... You've done it again! Wonderful, fun, uplifting, beautiful... Loved it! So so proud of you both, your attitude is fantastic ❤️❤️❤️
bienvenidos a CHILE....aunque fue corta la visita...saludos de Punta Arenas.....(.Estrecho de Magallanes,,,CHILE)

How do we start importing the beef!! Haha
Excellent photography very picturious journey.😊 Be happy safe and blessed journey ❤️.
Amazing exploration and nice drone shots coupling with uplifting music. Bravo for keeping the adventure spirit alive throughout the video
Keep greasing those universal joints. 👍 Safe travels!
Exciting leg ahead looking forward as always!

So stoked for you!!
Another amazing adventure, thanks for that. You make me want to visit chile.
Chile is amazing!!
Guys , your videos are amazing . Greetings from Florida .
Love you guys!
Take us on an adventure
Great story telling guys
Building a good car for a road trip like your's is necessary
I can see that off road driving has helped you a lot
It has become a perfect build for your road trip
But these cars also need maintenance
And n some countries you as traveler are seen as a guest or a friend
and the happy to help you on your way
Keep it up the good way maybe with a little help from the locals
Have FUN and be SAFE
Epic! Fantastic scenery! I'm so glad you got your mechanical issues sorted out. Safe travels👍
So are we! Thank you for watching!
Yup,Shawn Whale would be envious
Great to see everybody is doing great. Like you off road route. Roll on Landcuriser chinook. Awaiting next video.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Will do! Thank you for watching!
Ugh it's such a good day for an upload 🤘🏻
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
❤❤❤❤ another epic video, that city with all the parts was so cool, glad you got the Toyota outfitted with new parts. Greetings from soggy Maple Ridge
It’s probably one of our favourite parts of Latin America. The streets with all things mechanics!
I am so excited to see you guys in Chile and Argentina. It will be great to revisit places I saw a few years ago. Not sure i miss the way the wind messed with the moto in Patagonia though.
We’re hoping there will be less wind in the fall!

I would be happy to see more.

Thank you so much for the comment! We are still very much in Patagonia on the road 🤘🏼
@@ToyotaWorldRunners
Sweet, thanks, you are kicking tail! Happy trails! 😎✌️😍
4:39 YEESH… That point was SO sketchy. 😬
Travel to Uruguay 🇺🇾 you will not regret it.
We will!
You can wild camp at the Parque Metropolitano at the entrance of the cable car, it's on ioverlander
we found this out later 😂
❤❤❤❤
Brake fluid looks a little dark. Might consider getting that flushed before hitting the mountains again. Clutch fluid also if it's hydraulic.
Yay I'm first!! BYW love your rig!
I have some friends in Termas de Chillan if you hit that area
Would have been great to crack a Lucky at the summit 😅
Always
Hello guys, how are you from Sydney Australia seeing you and I hope you stop by my city Pucon Chile let me know so I can give you a gift
Guys, can you stop posting before I'm going to bed? I need to sleep.
Love the videos!

What happened to -The obstacle is the way- title?
Why don't they build Chinooks anymore??? Amazing videos guys
It’s up to us to build them now!
If Chile is anything like Venezuela those plugs are probably Denso-ish 😂😂😂
hola buen video, consulta que motor tiene su camioneta? saludos desde chile
Hello! 5VZ-FE (Toyota 3.4 V6)
Hope you grab an extra fuel pump with all the problems you have been having? Que sigan llegando las historias
The way is the obstacle?

Dont buy spares in Argentina. In chile are cheaper
I'm pretty sure they know that they are doing at this point. So when you go and do it you can do it your way. Just a thought 🤷
