#BUDGETOVERLAND #OVERLANDING #CAMPING
HEY GUYS; Posted updated list of links in the description. Some of the prices have changed so I tried to find cheaper links. Check out the Descriptions above!
I love that this video thumbnail is a picture of a 40k dollar 4runner with a 5k dollar GFC platform tent. LOL
Yeah I really wish I had a cheaper rig for the purpose of those video. Was going to take a photo of all the gear but honestly thought it would be a pain in the ass to shoot. This was just me half assing a thumbnail tbh lol.
@@OXFOOT lol no worries, it's good info dude! I just thought it was funny :-). I love those luci lights man. I have a few of those and they're awesome. I especially like the ones that charge both via solar or via usb.
Yeah I figured more people would call me out on that. What ever. Yeah I love those Luci lights. We have a few of them. I’m not sure if ours charge by USB, I’ve only ever used solar.
But yeah “take it from me the guy that spent 50k on his rig, I really know budget gear” lol.
LoL. Just watched this and thought the exact same thing! Budget overland gear for beginners (standing in front of $80-100K worth of rigs). It's all good, though. The information was solid and gives me some ideas. I really like that remote for the winch!
Here’s a few things that I found to be budget friendly, but good quality
RTic cooler. I use a 65 which will hold about 5 days of food
Kelty self inflatable sleeping pads.
Small Webber propane grill
Over window screens. Keeps bugs out, keeps condensation out, fresh air in if you sleep in vehicle.
Quick boiler.
OnX off road subscription. $30 a year and it’ll tell you where all the trails are and works without cell service.
KC led off-road driving lights. Finally, I can see!
Thanks so much. That’s quite a list. I’ll have to try some of that out and see how I like it. Going for a part 2 soon so maybe some of those will end up on there if I like it.
+1 on the RTIC cooler. Especially instead of a 2,000 dollar fridge like most of the yuppies run. It keeps food cold forever and is very very very affordable
Thanks for the ideas. We have two of those Coleman foldable tables and we love them!
So far mine has held up pretty well I really like them. Keep them in the truck and sometimes I’ll even bust it out at a fast food spot when I’m on road trips.
Man what a great video! It's so refreshing to see a budget-focused Overlanding video and I appreciate the fact that you have used all the gear. Thanks!!!
Yeah I’m not trying to sell anyone on anything, I’ve got no sponsorships, and if I keep handing out budget secrets i probably never will. Just trying to hand off some info to others.
Hoping to come up with a part 2 once I’ve tried out the new stuff.
This is easily a Top 3 video for best, realistic overlanding gear guides. A lot of helpful information packed in under 20 minutes!
Thanks, I’ve really been thinking about doing another one but I’d have to use other people because I basically gave away all my budget gear secrets in this video. Maybe I’ll try some new stuff.
what an absolutely great video to stumble upon to! thank you so much
I’ve got some new products I’m trying this spring summer and hopefully I’ll be able to do a round two this summer.
Great video! Thanks for dropping the info. Gonna pick up some new lanterns and walkie talkies
Yeah love those lanterns. I’ve never had amazing luck with walkies but these have been the most useable for me so far.
This was incredibly helpful. Thanks for posting!
Thanks, so much. I’ll be working on a part 2 soon.
Got randomly recommended this video, your video production is awesome! You're doing it right!
Hell yeah man that’s dope. I’m trying to improve the quality out here. I’m glad you liked it. Give me a year and it’ll be where I want the quality I swear ha.
I love the Coleman lighting system! It reminds me of the Free Spirit Recreational Light. If it only came with a stand, I would buy that instantly! Nice video bro, very informative!
Yeah I mean the Coleman light is super helpful. I would eventually like to go to something like the free spirit though. One step at a time I guess.
The light for 28$ seems like a steal with all the versatility
Yeah there’s a lot of stuff out there that isn’t expensive but is really versatile. The expensive companies would like you to think otherwise.
@@OXFOOT Feels like the expensive company's also just re brand some of the cheap stuff/copy it and mark it up
Camping goes from 0:35 - 9:14 and offroading is from 9:15 - 19:15
Very underrated video with practical and affordable gear. Appreciate the info
Thanks I really appreciate it. A lot of folks with underrated vids out there... Getting noticed by the algorithm is the hardest part of RUclips. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out though.
I agree on two of these items for sure. I’ve been using Ozark Trail 3 man for motorcycle camping for literally years with no trouble at all. Easy up and down and it just works. Also, have had an ENO 2 person hammock, also have the ENO brand tree saver straps and even the bug cocoon (absolutely worth it during yellow fly season!!!) Good info. Thanks!!!
I’ve got a Harley I’ve been trying to eventually turn into a scrambler to do offroad camping and all that with. Used to do it on my old ninja when I lived in the Appalachian mtns. Always used a hammock and a really light sleeping bag but the weather there was much warmer than Colorado.
Eventually I’d love to get a GS but I have so many expensive hobbies as is. A GS1200 and KTM 1190 are my grail bikes.
Fun and very informative video! I'm also in Colorado and always looking for people to hit the trails with
Awesome. What area are you in? Theres tons of groups online that I use to meet new offroading people and if you find me on instagram (oxfoot) I might have some stuff going on that I share on my stories.
Honestly..... haha definitely appreciate you making this video man it was super helpful and informative as I’m just getting into the whole truck camping/ overlanding thing.The video quality is also very good hopefully you get more subscribers going. Just subscribed myself keep it up!
Yeah I think I recently started thinking about video quality so the subs are starting to come in. I appreciate the sub! I’ve got tons of things on the way coming soon.
And also you said you’re new, so welcome to the overlanding community. Just know you don’t have to buy all the expensive stuff ha. I know it seems expensive.
The best video that helped me decide what to buy for 4Runner, thank you!
Thanks I appreciate it. I have links to everything I talked about in the description if you’re interested.
If any of the links don’t work let me know. Sometimes stuff changes on Amazon.
This is a great resource. Thank you.
Thanks so much. Links to everything in the video is in the description. Should be doing more videos like this soon.
#commentsquad Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video. Please send me suggestions for me to try for part 2 of this video. Go ahead and hit subscribe so you're notified about the next one.
maybe camping clothing next time?
@@financejohnson4225 that’s a good idea. Any suggestions of stuff I should test out? I have a few things in mind.
@@OXFOOT I've seen a few amazon hiking thinkgs I'd like to try out.
15:35 if you look on the back side of the head of the tire gauge, there is a spot to push the Schrader valve in with.
To deflate the tires other than where I deflated?
First time 4Runner owner. Nice video - thanks for sharing these
Awesome! Hope you love the 4Runner as much as I do
Very nice footage! Big like 👍 from me!!! I also love hiking, camping, fishing/hunting and make some videos to. Keep on!!!
Thanks so much. I have a lot of videos coming up with more camping. Plus I’m shooting a part 2 to this one.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the channel.
Really cool stuff!
Thanks!
Alternative title, “Things you need for living in Colorado!” Haha Great video to share with my friends when they ask about camping basics! Well done, hun. 👏🏽
I mean essentially these are things you need just to live here. Especially during the winter.
Colorado for the win!
Love it here. My favorite place I've ever lived for sure.
Love the content! Getting into the hobby can get expensive quick!
Yeah I know. I’m big on the budget products. I don’t need 100k to go in the woods. Although I still overspend.
Definitely! I got my 4Runner 2 years ago, started the "build" shortly after that, and I STILL need to accumulate more required gear to be able to go out with the local groups.
Really good information, thanks for sharing!
Thanks I appreciate it! Glad you liked it.
Working on a part two coming up after I test some new budget stuff out and see if I like it. Taking suggestions if you know anything ha.
Got the 13K XBull winch on my jeep and love it, works great! I did remove the steel cable and put on synthetic.......Great video, I subbed ya.
Yeah I honestly don’t know how I didn’t think of just taking a cheaper winch and replacing the cable. A lot of people have let me know in the comments how easy it is. Thanks!
I’ll have to look more into the XBull honestly, I really like the products of theirs that I own now.
New to overlanding and trying to get started camping in my 2021 4runner SR5, this video was helpful, thanks bro.
Nice. Well, welcome. Just know you don’t have to buy all the expensive stuff the influencers buy. See a ton of people make that mistake. Do your research and you can probably find knock offs versions of everything that aren’t bad.
Also if I was to buy another 4Runner and do it all over again I would just buy an SR5. I don’t use the locker enough to justify the extra money and I’ve never really used crawl control.
Your channel is awesome! I'm glad I came across it. It's super realistic. Letting people know you don't need expensive gear to have fun, just go out there and explore🤘🤙
I also wanted to know what shovel is the one mounted on the blue 4runner? I've already been thru two of them...
Yeah I try to show when the budget stuff works and when it doesn’t. Most of the time the budget stuff is completely fine, sometimes even better.
Both of us have just regular hardware shovels. The one in the black one is wrapped with I believe duct tape or some sort of black tape. I had one I got at garden center and it’s lasted me a long time. I plasti dipped it black but it came in like a regular wood grain color.
@@OXFOOT thank you!
X-bull makes a lot of good products, I’ve been using their traction pads for years and I even scored a winch with wireless remote and synthetic cable for $300 bucks, I also use their deflator which is basically an arb and it has been great 👍
Yeah I’ve been pretty happy with their products, my only complaint I’ve had with them is that their traction boards just don’t stack very tight together. Other than that I’ve been pretty happy.
Very informative!
Thanks so much!
Amazing stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I should have a part 2 coming soon. Gotta try out some more stuff and see what I like and don’t like.
@@OXFOOT fantastic! On a binge on your channel now and getting some really nice tips and alternatives👍 Surprised you’re not in a million subs at least!
I’ve been flying under the radar ha. Hoping I can grow the channel to those kind of number ha. RUclips’s a weird place and I haven’t figured out the algorithm yet. But thanks so much, that’s super nice. Really appreciate it!
Very good video, thanks for sharing.
I feel like I need to make an updated list, I have so much more stuff since I shot this.
I admit I was laughing at the massive sleeping bag lol but only because I have a similar bag lol. It’s not as bad as yours though lol Mine is from Sportsmans Warehouse and I believe it’s there in-house brand something Ridge and it’s the “Elk Hunter” its rated down to -35*Fahrenheit. I absolutely love it! Its flannel on the inside but canvas on the outside, it has big brass zippers and definitely keeps me warm. I use it in my Hennessy Hammock with an under quilt for when I camp in the dead of winter Dec-Feb at 7,000ft right at the edge of the tree line. Last year and the year before the temperature dropped to almost 0*Fahrenheit and I was toasty warm all night lol using the bathroom the next morning was a different story lol my next bag is the same brand but its called the “Deer Hunter” and it’s rated to 0*Fahrenheit so I use it in the early spring and late fall. The rest of the year which is mainly summer I just use a wool blanket or something light.
There’s a sportsman’s warehouse not to far from me. It’s on my list if places for the “overland gear at” series. I’ll have to check that out. What you are describing sounds a lot like the ones that I talked about in the cabellas video as well as ones I’ve seen at some other places. The flannel for sure helps.
I used to hammock camp too but I was in college and too broke to afford a proper sleeping bag so I usually avoided the winter in the hammock and just stuck to the ground tent.
Cool video. keep it up
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Great video!!! Don't know if anyone mentioned this but Badland winch do come with synthetic rope
Yeah I think some people have mentioned that since I filmed this. The only ones I had seen at the time had the steel cable but I believe you can even worst case swap the cable out which is a pretty good option. If I did it again I think I’d go for the badlands with the synthetic.
Great video!
Thanks for stopping by. Going for a part 2 soon.
I use the JT brooks pro tire deflators. Love them
That’s nice, I’ll have to look into those. Thanks.
We love it! Look forward to more videos! On my way to scout your other videos lol
Dope. I need to hit yours up when I get off work today. Thanks for checking it out!
Cool video, you have a huge sleeping bag, someone uses army sleeping bags 👍🏻👏🏻
Yeah the bag is really massive but it’s kept me warm down to -5. It’s my primary bag for winter camping because just pulling the zipper down a bit makes 20-30 degrees comfortable too.
Thanks for the video !
Thanks for stopping by. Should have a part two coming soon.
I have a Butler bed roll, I feel you on packability and how important it still is in the cold.
I’ll have to look into that. I don’t know much about them. Thanks for the suggestion!
I have 2015 Taco and I sleep in cabin of the truck , those inflatable lights seem cool,
Nice, I e only sept in my cabin once in my 4Runners and that was because of mountian lions. Good for you making that work.
And yeah the LUCI lights are really great!
I like the wench, sleeping bag, stove, off road lights, your going to make them up grade their quality & quantity!
Yeah luckily other people before me let me in on some of these before I tried them. I love sharing information so that people can get their search on the right track.
Didn’t know you can refill those green canisters with a standard propane tank! That’s awesome! Thanks! Gonna add two of these to my list
Yeah, they also make some that are refillable from the factory. Technically the ones I filled up in heat I’ve learned are illegal to transport when you refill them. Don’t ask me if I still do it once I learned that fact though.
@@OXFOOT lol “I’m sorry officer… I… didn’t know I couldn’t do that”
Great video. The only comment I have is regarding refueling these 1lb tanks. Legally (DOT rules) can't transport these refilled propane tanks. Legality aside, I am not sure if the green 1lb tanks are designed to be refilled multiple times. Personally, I have seen the green bottles rust within couple of months and the safety valves pop quite easily and leak propane after few months of non-use. Maybe it will be fine but Flame King sells a refillable version.
Yeah I have heard a lot about that. I really only do it maybe twice before replacing them but I may eventually end up looking into the refillable one. I know they are quite a bit more but not sure how they are different from the regular green ones. I’ll have to look. Thanks for the info!
I have that ham radio.and I had my county fire channels installed and I use it as my portable radio for the fire department
Yeah I love using it especially for emergencies. I hear there’s something related to avalanche safety channel in my area which would be nice when I get back to winter camping. I’ll have to research more and see if there actually is one.
Awesome video content. But may I recommend you use some lighting? Maybe use some of those Harbor Freight lights with a defuser to brighten your videos. Hard to see the products without good lighting.
Yeah this was a huge complaint with this video. I really didn’t know what I was doing back then. I had only had the camera a few days at that point. I’d like to think I’ve gotten better but it’s really more my editing back then and trying to shoot RAW in 100% manual mode. Maybe my new videos aren’t much better though.
Can recommend the coleman bags. Both of my kids have one and it got down into the 40's F a few weeks ago over night and they were just fine.
Nice! Yeah I love Coleman stuff!
@oxfoot awesome video, just starting to get into truck camping and overlanding so starting on a budget is always easier to explain to the wife :) what is that mini firepit thing at 6:22 in the video? Where did you get that?
I used to have screw on deflators like yours in a small black leather pouch; they are lost now. Now I open my tore repair kit and use the tool to unscrew the valve cores. The tires deflate in about the same amount of total time (one at a time instead of all at once) and it is a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Yeah that’s a good one. My first ever time deflating I had one of those pullers but I didn’t know what I was doing and went down to like 8 PSI. With a lot more experience now I bet that would be incredibly useful tool!
Now I’ve got a 4tire inflator/deflator set up which is totally hands off and really easy but that would be good in a pinch.
@@OXFOOT Did I spy a MORRFlate quad from Snail Trail under your hood
First take-away from this video...putting stickers on the tailgate edge. Never would have thought about putting some there. Aside from that great vid, I really want to get into overlanding to enjoy the outdoors more.
Yeah people give me stickers and I just don’t like the aesthetic of it in my window. It makes its way into videos so people still see them but I don’t have tons of stickers in my window all the time!
Yeah I think that prices on stuff will come back down this spring. Everything camping related has gotten inflated due to supply chain issues this year.
Tx for sharing!
No problem!
I tried that same setup for onbaord air and had issues with my bolts not holding into the rivnuts so I finally took mine out and going to figure some other onboard mount setup later.
I do have to note I found it interesting that the black Pro had the standard valance on the front and the silver off road has the Pro style valance on the front lol.
Keep up the good work and info
Ha they are both TRD off roads I believe. Mine is the silver one and I added that front badge pretty soon after buying it. I honestly just think it looks much better with that. Never was a massive fan of the all silver grille on my truck.
Which bolts? The ones holding the compressor down? I hadn’t run into any loosening yet.
@@OXFOOT the method I used I found on trail4runner.com and they install rivet nuts to secure through the foot holes on the compressor
Yeah they installed theirs reverse of that I did. I almost did it the way they did but figured it would work fine just bolted in like a battery considering it was lighter than a battery.
By reverse I meant the other direction as mine. Theirs was big side facing into the engine bay.
Thanks for the video. I appreciate your practical view on things. Is there a walkaround video on the black truck?
I just got to set it up. It’s got a crazy drawer system in the back also, hot water heater and even a pot filler arm on it.
@@OXFOOT sounds crazy man
Would also love to see how you wired the nilights at the tailgate
I need all this stuff, right? Awesome video buddy!
Lol, yep all of it. Nah... But for real you should check out that -30 sleeping bag since you’re about to be living in that teardrop. Might be worth a look.
@@OXFOOT I’m going to share this... really great vid! I have the Teton -25 bag (also on amazon) for emergencies as that diesel heater I bought is ridiculously powerful (had to turn it off tonight). The cooking stuff I’ll probably order and I got a jeep, no need for traction boards 😉🤣 JK
Honestly at this point my favorite is just cooking on this little fire pit we have. Pan straight to the firepit. Two birds one stone.
I’ll have to look into the Tetons one. I for sure need stuff for the part 2.
You can use the Baofeng radio without a license. You would have to program only the FRS channels and if you program any of the channels like Forest service, or local police, you can listen. Keep in mind like you said, if you push the talk button and are caught without a license is where you could get in trouble.
I’m really just saying that because I don’t want people about there buying them and thinking they can just cuss and do all types of stuff on the ham channels and then tell everyone this “oxfoot” guy online is telling everyone to buy these ham radios and use them without a license. It’s understandable that you can use them that way without a license but if you don’t plan on getting a HAM license you might be better off with a FRS radio.
I have the smittybilt compressor installed in the same location and it has never failed me.
Yeah I’ve been really happy with it so far. With the C4 tray I used, I don’t see why almost any compressor wouldn’t be put in the engine bay.
Hammocks for summer, especially on a motorcycle.
Agreed
Thanx for the info Peace
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out! Hope it was helpful!
Great intro video! New to overlanding w a 2021 Pro. Excited to get the rig all setup! Can we talk bumpers, rooftop tents, paint protection?
Congrats on the new 4Runner! I've been wanting to make a video on all my favorite companies and what I recommend to people but I just haven't gotten around to it with this other big video I'm doing going on. Paint protection you're talking to the wrong guy lol. Don't look at my 4Runner too close ha. I've got all types of branches and deep cuts. Have you ever looked into G.O.A.T. truck armor? I have a few buddies that run it and they really like it. I think I may do a video on that soon.
Also as far as rooftop tents... That sort of the video I've been focused on lately. I've been checking out tons of them lately getting in an checking them all out. If you're going for a hardshell I fell like I know most of them in and out at this point. If you're unsure on what to get and just want something for the summer while you think, Tepui's are always a great option and then you can resell them on craigslist or return it within a year if you buy it from REI.
Ceramic coating on the paint is a great investment
I use the el cheapo lights too. Been bright enough for me
Yeah they work just fine.
Agreed
I’ve been going through all the budget videos and I definitely appreciate this one. How did you change the air compressor fitting and how is it working of you? Does it get weak or anything?
I’m about to upload a video soon explaining how I did the compressor. And all that in dash. The compressor fitting is super easy though. You just cut the old fitting from the hose and replace it with a new fitting. After you put the new fitting on the hose you just tighten it down with a little screw driver based hose clamp.
You could also try removing the whole thing at the base of the hose where it connects to the compressor and trying it that way. Didn’t do this but I’ve heard it works.
@@OXFOOT thank you! I can’t wait to see the video! I guess I will decide either to cut it or change the whole thing after I see the video. I appreciate it!
Yeah I think it’s honestly a pretty easy mod. I’ll make sure to put emphasis of that part for the video.
Great video. Just watched it. I would like to see a video how to install the Smittybilt compressor. I have a Smitty clone and use it out of the bag right now.
If you’re talking about how to install it in the engine bay I have a video on how to do that now. I believe it was the next uploaded video after this video.
I’m sure the method I’m using would work on most compressors, just might have to change some minor things if it’s bulkier.
@@OXFOOT thanks. I’ll check it out.
Informative.
Thanks! I have a lot of other videos on budget overland gear.
Love the front bumper, which one is it? Love the vids, new subscriber!
The front bumper on mine (the silver one) is the C4 fab low profile with the mid height tube bar option and 30” light bar cut out option. The black one is a victory 4x4 lo profile bumper which I believe doesn’t have any options.
I saw some videos about the hazards of refilling the green propane canisters, as they're rated for single-use only, and are recommended to not re-fill. Just FYI.
Yeah I’ve read a lot up on that. After a ton of research I’ve come to the conclusion that I would only refill it a few times. There’s a lot of stories going around about someone’s cousins best friend having an accident but I’ve not personally seen enough to make me not do it. There’s always a risk when handling propane. At this point I wouldn’t recommend doing it more than two or so times.
Good video 👍
Thanks so much!
Trying to eventually do more videos on the subject, like a part 2, 3, 4 and so on. Need to start researching new products ASAP!
Keep it going
You want more of the list or just “keep it going” with the vids? Because yes to both of those. Doing an updated list soon.
Jt brooks for the win 🤘🏽 vids of my CRV on my page ... thanks for this deff needed to see this video
That’s sick. Just watched a bit of it. I posted a new video after this one of off-roaders under 15k... CRV didn’t make the list but if the video does better I might make one for the 5k budget. CRV would for sure be on that list.
One thing on the old Coleman stoves you can get an adapter to use the 1lb propane cylinders instead of the white gas.
That’s awesome! I’ll have to look into that. I’d love to convert my dads old one that he gave me. Thanks!
Harbor freight has synthetic line for their winches. Way cheaper than smitty built. FYI and good choices
Yeah I think the synthetic line is the way to go. I like my smittybilt but I know folks with the Harbor freight synthetic winch who like theirs a lot.
Thx, man, your vid inspired me to go out and enjoy the great outdoors! BTW do you have FB or INS? gonna follow u
Thanks so much. If I’m here to do anything that’s it. Motivation to get outdoors.
My Instagram is the same as my RUclips, it’s just Oxfoot.
Great video. Hey looks like your in gig harbor wa
I’m actually in Denver CO. This was filmed in Aurora at a buddy of mine’s house.
BTW, the Baofeng supports Ham, GMRS, and FRS. That single Baofeng can replace your Midlands, or also communicate with them. All it takes is the Chirp software and a USB cable to configure your Baofeng.
Damn what? That’s crazy. I’ll have to look into that. I know one time I went to a certain frequency and I was able to communicate with a regular family hand held but I heard it was actually highly illegal?
@@OXFOOT It's as illegal as driving beyond the speed limit, except, it's not really going to harm anyone, as opposed to, say, driving at 90mph, and getting into an accident.
The illegality occurs when you TRANSMIT on GMRS/FRS on this device. The very specific regulation states that to transmit on GMRS/FRS, the antenna must be fixed/permanent; whereas, on the Baofeng, the antenna is removable/replaceable with a "larger" antenna.
When you consider the amount of FCC "police" in remote areas, and them having to prove that YOU were the one transmitting, the likelihood of being legally fined/punished/scolded is quite low.
The government really does have more important things to do, or, at least, they should. :-)
Still, the risk is there. It's up to you to decide it it's worth taking.
I use an Xbull 13000 pound winch with synthetic line, it has been awesome and only costs about 350 dollars.
Yeah I’ll have to look into that. I’ve been happy with my XBulls traction boards so if their winches are anywhere near as quality as them then I’d say it’s a solid purchase.
@@OXFOOT I have used mine a twice now for off road self recovery, twice more for recovering someone else on the trail, once for lifting an engine block and several times for pulling bushes, towing cars out of ditches, and yanking down a storm struck problem tree ect. been about four months and its had zero issues doing basically anything asked of it and it for sure isn't getting the pretty gentle life of a show piece!
Awesome vid! Off the topic question though what rims are those on the black 4runner they are 🔥
The icon rebounds and he’s running mud terrains. Since this video I’ve gotten new wheels as well. His Icons are dope but I love my SCS wheels.
@@OXFOOT right on my dude! Thank you!
only 1k subs??? incredible production quality
Thanks I really appreciate that! Maybe once I figure out how to work the algorithm I won’t have to rely on people sharing the video to get it out there. Maybe the subs will grow eventually.
But yeah really thanks. Working to improve the quality as I go as well.
Great video. What fire pit do you have? I like the design and can't find it anywhere.
I’ll have to look into it but I believe it was something on tractor supply’s web site. Like $70. I’ll ask my gf, she bought it.
I would love to know how he had those nilight pods mounted to n the back, If you could tell me that would be great man.
remember that you can swap the cables on the winches... they do come off!
Yeah I’ve had a few people remind me if that since I released the video. That’s a good idea honestly and I would definitely recommend that for the harborfreight one. Someone even told me that harbor freight had a synthetic line they carry.
@@OXFOOT I honestly can't say, I live in England! Over here we get a lot of winches that come with steel rope and we just buy the synthetic to go onto the winch, one thing to note though is if the brake is inside the drum it is less suitable for synthetic, as the drum gets hot and can melt the rope, so that's a great video to do and give the local viewers something to think about when choosing their winch.
Thanks for the reply. :-)
The reason the butane stove doesn’t do well in the cold is because butane is only good to about 40*Fahrenheit. Below that and it becomes a liquid not a gas so it won’t work for the burners. But you can use a mixture of butane and propane which comes pre-mixed in special canisters. Why would you want to use a mixture instead of just propane? You ask lol it’s because butane is much hotter than propane when being used as a flame to cook on, like more than a thousand degrees hotter. So by mixing them you get butane that burns at lower temps and propane that burns at super high temps. Best of both.
I’ve only messed with the butane stoves a few times in my life and have had very missed experiences with them. Sometimes I live them sometimes not so much. I just bought a butane stove for another video I’m doing so I’ll have to look into that mixture for sure. Thanks for the insight!
I'm a hammock camper. Never use a tent again. Love the budget series.
I was a hammock camper for years, I totally understand. It takes me a mattress pad on top of a mattress to be as comfortable as I was in a hammock.
This popped up as a suggested video. Solid gear, but the Midland gmrs radios realistically have a 10 mile range (not their fault aside from typical bad advertising) and do require a fcc license, a no test gmrs license.
Yeah this was a while back, I really don’t use HAM anymore, I still bring it for emergency channels but I don’t use them. I will be switching to GMRS unit that stays in the vehicle very soon.
But yeah I guess I didn’t know as much about GMRS back when I uploaded this video.
I also picked up the midlands from Walmart and used them without knowing about licensing until I became a ham. Once they drop the price for the gmrs I think it will be the way to go for most people. I use my yaesu ftm 400 in the truck and it works out great for ham and gmrs (listening only of course, that would be "illegal" to transmit)
Bought two sets of the XBULL boards before going on the Kentucky adventure tour earlier this month. Both sets cracked towards their ends on first use for me. Conditions were heavy mud with some rocks in there but both recovery situations didn't put any flex on them. Hopefully its just bad luck for me as I've also seen many videos with successful stress tests
Damn that sucks. I haven’t had that kind of experience. They might have some quality control issues then because mine have had years of use and are still alright. XBull made a few types, were the ones you got like mine or did they look different?
Like I said I’ve had friends who have had theirs crack, so I get it.
Same exact ones off Amazon but Orange for my color choice. I'll keep using them in the meantime however until they're completely clapped out lol
They were meant as a quick stop-gap until I can pick up a set of the maxtrax extremes. Really hope others have better like like you as well!
Damn, alright well... I hope people have the same experience I had. I love my maxtrax though. I can’t see these breaking, but I’ve seen videos of people breaking them too. I guess it’s just sometimes they get broken and other times they don’t.
On the next budget overland video I’ll try to mention that about this video.
Just an FYI, Harbor Freight has a 12000 lb Synthetic winch cable available, I wanna say it is sub $150 and the hawse fairlead is like $40. You could get a steel cabled winch and after awhile upgrade the line and fairlead for a decently low price. and of course they have a wireless kit for them as well. something to think about.
That’s a good point. I had no clue they even had synthetic lines there. I’ll have to look into that. Maybe talk about it in a future video. I hear the cables aren’t the hardest thing to replace either.
@@OXFOOT I can't imagine they're too hard, I saw they had an APEX synthetic 12k winch too, but it's obviously more expensive than the steel cable kind.
Jeff T once you use steel cable on the drum, it's not good to switch to synthetic line. Cable can mark/damage the drum causing premature failure from cuts&abrasion to the synthetic line.
@@Chevydevil that's a good point
Hey guys... you’ve got the gear, but you need a budget truck first right?? Here’s a video I did of my top 15 favorite offroad vehicles under 15k.

Those small green propane tanks say they’re not refillable don’t they? I thought about figuring out a way to fill them up just like u did but wasn’t sure if it’s safe since they’re “not refillable”. What do u think?
So they do say that but after tons of research it’s illegal to transport them after doing that but that’s really a huge liability thing for them. I only refill them twice before discarding them just to be safe though. I know folks that have been doing that for years and haven’t had issues. That being said I’m not a scientist or anything like that so there may be a reason they say not to refill them, so I’d say look into it more yourself to confirm.
Where did you get that flag decal in the pack driver's side window and do you think it would be visible with dark tint?
It's more of like a grey matte finish anyways so the tint shouldn't really matter. You can just pick it up on amazon here:

What kind of rock sliders does the black 4runner have? They looked awesome.
Just asked and he said they are toytec sliders. They work with and without KDSS.
Badland has a 12000 lb winch with a synthetic rope for 399 I have one they're awesome
I didn’t know that. Good to know. I don’t know much about the badlands winches personally. Glad they have that option. Thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment letting us all know!
I for one, would like to see a video on the onboard air
Well looks like you ended up checking it out after all. Lol.
@@OXFOOT yeah I found it after.
I'd be good with backseat delete, build a platform with slide out storage, inflatable air pad, sleeping bag and i can sleep in the 4runner. i dont take up much space
You know I really considered that. Goose gear makes a rear seat delete platform that turns the whole back into a flat surface. I did years of sleeping in the back of my cars before I found out about rooftop tents and how comfortable they are. But I don’t mind sleeping in the back with a $50 REI back packing mattress and a sleeping bag.
@@OXFOOT I feel safer knowing I can pull away from whatever situation if needed. goose gear does an amazing job, it's not cheap but quality will forever be better than knockoffs
Yeah goose gear is super expensive. If I had the time I think making one myself would also be really great.
@@OXFOOT if you got carpentry skillz and time away from family you should design something for yourself. I think you'd get more satisfaction
Cool video. Quick question about the 1lb propane tanks. Is it safe to refill those? Have you had any issues with it after refilling it?
So far we haven’t had any issues. It’s best if you make the small tanks cold so the propane rushes to them. The only issues I’ve had is that they are actually not the easiest to fill. But yeah they function properly once you get into the grove of filling them.
Just a note on this. They do make purpose 1 lb tanks for refilling but they are expensive. I refill my basic ones, not the purpose ones, about 5 or 6 times, then toss just to be safe. You can find used ones everywhere. Also, I know everyone refills them including me but there is a warning on the tanks about a big fine for reusing/refilling them.
@@oldmillrd1506 damn it’s almost like you predicted my next video! Yeah a lot of people asked me about this and I want to show people how to do it safely. The refillable ones are crazy expensive! I think 5-6 times is a good number. I make sure to fill it aimed away from me and all that. As safe as I can.
Did you ever make that video for mounting the smittybilt? I have that compressor and would love an expensive mounting option.
I’m guessing you meant “inexpensive” but yes I did make that video however at the time I hadn’t figured out the wiring situation so I was just running it with clamps. You can run it directly to the battery with a fuse. Go to my videos and scroll down to 7 months ago and it’s a video called “DIY fast and easy onboard air…”
@@OXFOOT I did, thanks. I will take a look. I have that compressor and would really like to mount it.
hi, what camera/lens/mic are you using for this video? you sound quite clear
It’s a canon R and my mic is a rode videomicro. Honestly I was really far away from it and it still picked me up pretty well.
Would you recommend I use my cooking device as my heating divice ? That what you did LOL
I don’t quite understand? Sorry I made this two years ago and I’m not sure what part your referencing
What mount do you use for your front license plate?
It’s a mount that comes as an option with the C4 Low pro bumper. It’s called the C4 HAWSE LICENSE PLATE MOUNT.
Wheel and tire setup on the black TRD Pro?
Icon rebound 17x8.5 and nitro trail grappler 285/70/17.
Which wheels are on the black 4Runner, Icon Compression?
The icon rebounds and he’s running mud terrains. Since this video I’ve gotten new wheels as well. His Icons are dope but I love my SCS wheels. A little wider stance than the icons.
