Are you guys airing-down?? Dropping your tires down to around 20 psi really helps when rock crawling like this. Guaranteed you wouldn't be having those issues around 5:17 if you aired-down. In general, not just rock crawling, whenever I head off-road I'll always usually air-down, you'll notice a HUGE difference in how your trucks will handle, it's like night and day once you do. Also grab a pair of radios if you don't have any, it makes communicating when spotting so much easier! Good job love the videos!
Thank you very much. Yes we always are down. In Moab we aired down to 15-18psi. Usually I air down to about 22psi to protect the wheels. We also use GMRS radios for comms. Thanks for the tips though.
Why don’t people cover the setup of their rig in these videos? Approach, departure and breakover angle, tire size, and lift is all that’s important yet nobody says it or puts it in the description.
My apologies. Honestly the reason is because I make different videos every week and it would be a lot to remember to add into every video. I built the entire truck on the channel so I assume that everyone has seen all my videos. I run an Ironman Foam Cell Pro Stage 2 lift kit with 35x12.5r17 Firestone Destination M/T2 on Method 701 at zero offset. Hope this helps. The rig has come a long way since that video.
Hello!!!! Love your video. Just bought a 2021 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD QUAD CAB. Hoping by August to go to Utah with my wife and two pups. I am intrigued by the bed tent options...can you send along a couple good rigs? Thanks and be well!
@@AdventureBuilt 10 is about the minimum for an E load tire to even flatten out enough to make a difference especially with a light truck like a Tacoma. More air less deformation and more resistance trying to roll over objects also less footprint = less traction. It makes a world of difference. You have to consider wheel and tire width though I run stock wheels on 35s on my Tacoma so I have an easier time going down as far as 5 in the snow and 8 in the rocks.
Growing up in Utah, I have a different perspective of modern Moab. 15-20 years ago, a slightly modified 4wheel vehicle could do 90% of the trails without lockers, winches, or 40's! Downtown was like 3 gas stations and 2 hotels, and maybe a few restaurant's ! Today is insanity!
I have to be honest. The hardest part of these videos is picking the music. There is so much to choose from and I try to make the music fit the feel of the video. What did you not like about this videos music?
@@AdventureBuilt hey not trying to be too critical 😂... just seems like it drones on & on same thing ya know and a little too much ... luv y’all’s videos since beginning and I completely understand trying to fill the void ... maybe suppress it some make it more just light background I don’t know 🤷🏼♂️... just didn’t seem like it fit 👊 keep the vids coming bro’s
Condolences on your friend! Taken way too soon, I'm only a few years younger so that hits hard. This is such a fun trail, looks like fun doing it with other people. I was in Moab a couple years ago on a mountain biking trip, I decided to rent a two-door Rubicon to hit some trails. None of my friends wanted to come with me, they just wanted to ride. So I hit the Fins solo, hoping to run into some other Jeepers, but no, nothing. Had the whole trail to myself. It took a while, I had to keep getting out to self spot, but it was a blast. The Wrangler was stupid capable, didn't need the lockers once, it just crawled over EVERYTHING.
Thank you very much and he definitely was! I’m glad you had a great trip in Moab and I’m jealous. I wish we had the trail to ourselves. We had a Jeep follow up most of the trail that must have thought the louder the stereo the better the party because he was rocking it.
Great job again Kelly. My 7 year old Son and I both enjoyed the video. Great footage and a beautiful location. Living in the rainy Pacific Northwest it’s quite the contrast. Condolences on the loss. Nice to see the channel grow. Nice to see a TRD sport out there like the 2020 I have. I wonder if he had a locker installed? I don’t know how you find the time to respond to most comments. Keep up the good work!
The real question should be, how often do you use MTS? MTS is very useful on trails, it’s basically traction control that simulates a locker using the ABS system. crawl Control is only useful in a few certain situations like downhill descent control, or when stuck in deep sand. I use MTS whenever I wheel.
@@AdventureBuilt Did you have to trim anything to get those 35's to fit...or was this just the lift? Do you have any issues rubbing? I appreciate the help...I'm debating what to do as we speak.
I’m pretty sure Ben and I are running the same tire size (35’s)but don’t know what brand or tire pressure. His FJ is a climbing beast. Geared low, great approach and departure angles, and he is a great driver.
@adventurebuilt what was the setup for that 4runner? I'm looking to do some trails in Moab in April and will have an ironman 4x4 stage 2 suspension. Am I going to need sliders?
Awesome video and amazing drone shots! Those climbs and decents looked crazy! Looked like an amazing time. What is the name for the hitch/receiver protectors on the gladiators? My condolences for the loss of your friend to you and his family..
Thank you very much. I am using the factory front camera but it really sucks. The definition is terrible. I usually use my GoPro on my hood through my phone. Way easier to see but nothing beats a good spotter.
Sorry to bump an older thread. Just wanted to say I'm also Gilbert based and started my Tacoma build in January. Love the videos can't wait to get to Moab with the truck!
@@AdventureBuilt when locked the inside wheel travels the same distance as the outside wheel in a turn. Causing unneeded stress on the differential locker/drivetrain, along with tire wear and loss of traction due to the tires binding and doing little skipps(on rock or high grip). I personally wheel open x open till I get stuck or am close to. This helps you not get too buried for a winch pull or snatch. And it's nice on the components :) nice rigs man!!
Cool video !
*FFS Please Kill the Background music! We'd rather listen to nothing but tires and dirt!*
What brand wheels are on the Grey Taco? Methods 704?
Excellent video! Now on my to do list…
Haha thank you very much!!!
Looks like a great time
It 💯 was!!!!
@@AdventureBuilt what size tires on the Taco?
@@NateRobertson-jl4jm I run the Toyo MT 35x12.5r17.

Where you able to fit them because of the cab mount relocation? How high is your front setup? 3”

Thank you very much!!!
Fun trail
Sure was!!!
Did you use crawl control at all
No I find it to be not all that helpful. Plus the ABS pulsing is super annoying.

Need to get that tire pressure down.
Yea I don’t know about that. Trevor was running 10psi in the 4Runner and I was running 15psi in the Tacoma.

I remember driving through there about 20 years ago and you are totally right.

What lift and tires are on the red gladiator? Awesome rigs and video!
Here you go. The lift is the Mopar Fox lift, Method Trail Series wheels and the bedrack is rebel offroad half rack.
@@AdventureBuilt thank you! Looks awesome! I’d like to do the same thing to my stock-for-now Gladiator
That white FJ is sick! I want one so bad. I’ve heard rumors that Toyota is bringing it back & is so, I’ll get one.
It is mega capable and I have heard the same rumor. I just wish they would fix the blind spot issues.
And what bed rack is that on the white Gladiator?

Nice trails guys ...what kit was u rocking on this adventure in the tacoma
Thank you very much. The Tacoma is setup with the Ironman 4x4 Stage 2 Foam Cell Pro kit, Method 701 Wheels and 35” MT.
Great job again Kelly. My 7 year old Son and I both enjoyed the video. Great footage and a beautiful location. Living in the rainy Pacific Northwest it’s quite the contrast. Condolences on the loss. Nice to see the channel grow. Nice to see a TRD sport out there like the 2020 I have. I wonder if he had a locker installed? I don’t know how you find the time to respond to most comments.

Thank you so very much. Moab is absolutely amazing and you can’t beat Arches National Park. Yes he has front and rear ARB lockers. So lucky.
Going doing this with hunting included...here in Canada.
Getting my Toyota Tacoma TRD 4X4 OFFROAD Premium in April.
Can't wait.
Well that sounds like an epic trip!!!! Planning a nice build?
How often did you use your crawl control feature on your Tacoma?

Not very much at all. I’m not a huge fan. The ABS pulsing feels terrible.
Look forward to every video!
That is awesome. Thank you so very much.
What happened to Mike?
Unfortunately he had a medical issue and passed away! RIP.
Which is newer? The Jeep? Mike? Or his spotter?
How much lift is on the Taco? Also are those 33's?
It’s a 2.5” Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro Stage 2 kit on Toyo MT 35x12.5 r17.
@@AdventureBuilt Did you have to trim anything to get those 35's to fit...or was this just the lift? Do you have any issues rubbing? I appreciate the help...I'm debating what to do as we speak.
@@JourneyMapsLiveandLocal honestly they are a ton of work. Cab mount chop or relocate, trimming and more trimming, gear change.
@@AdventureBuilt That's what I've been reading. Crazy man...your rig looks so sweet though! Great job!
Great Vid. What size tires are you running?
Thank you very much. Toyo MT 35x12.5 r17.
What brand are Trevor's rims?
Method Racing 704 in Bronze.
That's funny, you ask why your not making it through this and then you do the exact same thing. Gotta love karma bud.
What size tyres on the FJ ?
The FJ is running 35’s and they look awesome.
Are you and Trevor running different tires or tire pressure than the FJ (Ben)? You seem to spin tires alot more than him.
Tire compound I'd guess along with psi and possibly the weight distribution of the truck
I’m pretty sure Ben and I are running the same tire size (35’s)but don’t know what brand or tire pressure. His FJ is a climbing beast. Geared low, great approach and departure angles, and he is a great driver.
@@AdventureBuilt I agree he is GOOD, but I would ask his secrets on tires because he never slips... he has that thing dialed.
Sorry about your friend guys. It was sad to see that at the end. Take care, Everyone!!!
could you share your route ?
Absolutely. Email me and I’ll send you the .gpx file. advbuilt19@gmail.com
@adventurebuilt what was the setup for that 4runner? I'm looking to do some trails in Moab in April and will have an ironman 4x4 stage 2 suspension. Am I going to need sliders?
Absolutely. Sliders are essential, especially for Moab. Gotta protect that rocker.
Awesome video and amazing drone shots! Those climbs and decents looked crazy! Looked like an amazing time. What is the name for the hitch/receiver protectors on the gladiators? My condolences for the loss of your friend to you and his family..
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. I honestly don’t know the name of the hitch skid plate but I’ll find out.

Well said!!!
Good work fellas , just wondering how many miles on your 2020 Tacoma now and if you had any mechanical issues with it , thanks for posting 👍🏻
Thank you very much. Just rolled over 10k and not a single issue.
Another fun Adventure and great video, thanks guys! Kelly what front camera are you using for your Tacoma? I'm also very sorry about your friend.
Thank you very much. I am using the factory front camera but it really sucks. The definition is terrible. I usually use my GoPro on my hood through my phone. Way easier to see but nothing beats a good spotter.
That crossing point at 16:58 is fun to do at night. NOT! 🤣
Yea exactly the thing I was avoiding!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Are you guys AZ based?
We sure are!
@@AdventureBuilt Gilbert in the house!!
Sorry to bump an older thread. Just wanted to say I'm also Gilbert based and started my Tacoma build in January. Love the videos can't wait to get to Moab with the truck!
My dream but it’s delayed as I do not have a 4x4 and just bought a motorcycle. Anyway, “ LET’ S DO IT. 😂
This a LIFE....😁
I would suggest leaving your lockers off especially on solid Rock unless you absolutely need it when going straight
Why is that may I ask?
