Your choices are realistic and definitely a great direction. There is nothing flamboyant about your choices. They are practical. Proud of you!!
Thanks for watching!
@patriciatennery3021- very well said ❤️❤️
I like the intro with your new truck, it's definitely a good choice and I'm sure Jaylena is so proud of you for being such a stand up new Dad. Always thinking of your girls and their well being. I bet Ember will start to feel better as you take to the road even for short trips. Great job, congratulations on the new truck!
Yooo 💗💗
It is always exciting to see you happy and taking on new adventures on your life journey with Jaylena and Ember. I'm here to see everyone's creative juices following from building buses, homesteading, decorating your new home, creating music, crime podcast (Jaylena), and now camper for truck. It's all so exciting!
Super excited!
LOVING the truck!!! Consider trying a tow behind camper or pop up. It would leave the the truck bed space for extra room for tools, propane, gas cans, outdoor furniture, back up supplies etc. Got a take a run while camping? Unhook and GOOOO! That way you'll still be set up at camp and be able to do what you want. Easy peazy.....Best of luck 😊
Good idea!
Ive always had toyotas. They are reliable and i love your Tundra! Looks brand new. It must have been well maintained. Great buy Isaac. Keep truckin!
Love the truck!
Agree! Looks fabulous! Someone really looked after your new truck! I have chosen Toyotas everytime I buy!
Hi Isaac. U did a great job of choosing or sticking with Toyota. I have a 2004 Toyota Sequoia and it has 250,000 miles on it already. I bought it brand new in year 2004 of course and maintained it very well and it is very reliable …. No engine issues until now. This Toyota suv/truck Sequoia is same engine that your 2006 Tundra has. Also I bought a 2019 Tundra 4x4 with crew cab/5ft bed and only got a camper shell on it for overlanding and stealthy capabilities when am in cities. I car camp all the time when am traveling….so Congratulations for your new Tundra, am happy and excited for u Jaylena and Ember. I super adore your beautiful family esp. Ember she is so beautiful.❤️❤️I recently visited Oregon @my nephew in Portland area, visited the Oregon coast and it’s so amazingly beautiful. I plan to come back soon, I love Oregon!💕💕💕
What is wrong with the engine? I have a 2000 sr5 with 240,000 miles. I've replaced the front end, 1 radiator at 185k miles and 1 starter at 130k miles. Engine and tranny run like new still
You made a good choice buying Toyota, congratulations 👍🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 💗
Your truck is in great condition for its years Isaac. Really pleased for you that you found it. Will be a fantastic camper. Exciting!! 👏🙌👍💫😊
And how right you are about the missiles!!😮
Looked specifically for it!!
So happy for your 2006 Tundra. They are amazing vehicles. There's going to be many great adventures ahead for your sweet family.
Thanks yo!
I’m happy for you Isaac! We have a 2008 Tundra and love everything about it. You won’t be disappointed.
I love this truck so far
Congrats Isaac..Looking good..Tundra is super reliable.👏🏾👈🏽
Thanks yo
I have a 04 tundra extra cab,bought new best vehical I have ever owned. Only have done normal maintenance 154000 miles. I love it.
Awesome!!!
Very excited to see what your next build is for the truck! You always have great ideas and the finished product is always something to really be proud of! I like that you haven't given up on your dreams and have just changed things up a bit to accommodate your family. Ember is a lucky little lady to have you and Jaylena as her parents! Take care!
Stoked!
Nice I appreciate it when you 2 are always switching it up you never know what you're gonna get I literally have been holding my breath waiting for this one love you guys
Ha ha
Per Scotty Kilmer, these are the best pickup trucks ever built the 1st gen/Tundra 1999 - 2006 with that 4.7 v/8. I bought my 05 new, now just turned 44k miles still looks and drives like a new one, always in the garage when not on the road. Just remember to change out that timing belt and water pump at around 100k miles and change oil and filter at least every 5k, do this and it will last one million miles.
Loving the truck so far!
Nice looking truck, Isaac!
Truck/camper camping is so easy - unload the camper at your site & you have freedom to do whatever you want. We did that for many years with my (only child) daughter & there was even room in the back seat for her to bring a friend or 2 along - from young childhood right through high school. Great memories!! 💚
One Hundo!!!
I'm with you and Jaylena where ever you take your channels! I started watching you because of Jaylena and I love watching your family! You 2 have inspired me to go on adventures with my husband. Take life as it comes. You 2 are awesome can't wait to see what you do next!
Thank you for being here
Always excited to see what you’re up to
Thanks for watching!
I love this size of Tundras, now that there bigger I don’t enjoy driving ours anymore. I’m short and can no longer see around the mirrors and over all vision is difficult for me. Good choice! It fits your needs now.
I’ve never driven the bigger ones!
Love ‘em 😁
I am excited for you and the family. Life is definitely changing for all of you. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks yo we are hyped!!
My Toyota Sienna is a 2008 and is still in great condition. I had to replace the 100,000 mile sparkplug. It costs a lot to do because they have to take out a lot to get to it. It has 160,000 miles on it. Still going down the road with regular maintenance😊
Love Toyotas!
the older ones are actually nice af and got the old school feel and interior i like
Def!
Congratulations ❤ can't wait for the build!!!
Thanks yo!
Life is getting better and better! I love the well rounded home life and over landing, recording and teaching Ember to make funny sounds and words. And lots of good family fun! Thanks for bringing us slong!
💗💗💗💗
The older models are and have always been the best.. Awesome Congrats!!💖💖
Love this truck!
Looks like you scored a great all around truck 🛻 looks awesome 🎉❤😊congratulations - can’t wait to see your new adventure rig get all ready for the back country - enjoy the process
💗💗
It's a nice truck. I love the way you always put your family first, Glad Jaylena has someone who cares about her the way you do.😊❤
💗💗💗
Wow, that looks nice for a 2006! Great purchase!
Thank you!
Cant wait to see the build xx
Commenting at three minute mark. Truck is in great shape for a 2006. Hot the four door and the 4 wheel drive. Those first gen Tundras are great trucks.
LET'S GO! Can't wait to see what you're going to do😁.
💗💗💗
Looking forward to your creativity in the new direction
Thanks yoo
Always excited to see what you and the family are doing next
Thank you for watching!
Im excited!!
Thanks for watching yo
Great choice. You always have the family in mind. What a great young man 👨
One Hundo!
We bought a Toyota small truck back in the 1980's and that think lasted us over 20 years until we sold it, still running perfectly. It was the best vehicle we ever owned. NOW, why did we sell it? Because it would not pull a horse trailer. Ergo we bought a Dodge 1 ton diesel with Cummings engine when they first came out. HOWEVER, under heavy load the engine over heated when we pulled a grade with the horse trailer. So I sold that one and bought an F350 diesel crew cab 8' bed and a goose neck 4 horse slant load horse trailer with sleeping quarters and a queen bed. So that's my dream team and still own it 23 years later. I LOVE that truck HOWEVER it has a horrible turning radius and doesn't fit in a parking space well at all. So, I'm going to check out the Toyota Tundra this weekend and maybe a camper just for the fun of it.
Ha ha wild story! Honestly I love the tundra!
@@isaacturnerit I’ll shop tomorrow for sure. Thanks!
Congratulations Isaac!
Look forward to your journey, thank you for sharing. 🙋♀️ 🇨🇦 🙏 💜
Thanks for watching!
Yea, on getting a 4wheel drive truck, you get the freedom to go off road and drive in town. I am a truck family, one 2500 truck for camping and a Chevy avalanche for driving around town. We put the back seat down for our dogs and keeps the seats clean and the truck bed for dirty construction stuff. Trucks are great for family's that work on stuff, garden, construction, remodeling projects etc.
I love it so far
OUTSTANDING YO !!! #1 KEEP THE FAM SAFE !!! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW THE CAMPER TURNS OUT !!!
💗💗💗
Congratulations on your new truck,looks great.
Thank you so much
Congratulations to u and your family 😊🎉
Love your new truck Isaac, you are going to have a blast in it I am sure.
Hyped!
Nice ride. It will come in handy for many things you may need to do.
💗
Nice truck!! Thanks for sharing.❤️❤️💛
Thanks for watching!
Oh yeah bro. Fo Buh Fo is a major major game changer. And I bet you don't even have lockers in the axles YET. So you really only have a 2wd still. You have differentials front and rear, so when in 4wd, you have 1 front wheel with traction, and 1 rear wheel with traction. If lockers or limited slip differentials are added to the front and rear axle, now you have a true 4x4. As much as I hate to admit, cuz they're not USA company, but Yotas are good. A few months back, I got a killer deal on a 2006 Corolla with 130,000 miles that has been well maintained and clean from our impound auction where I work, for $2000. That thing runs like new, gets 30mpg and is super comfy to drive, freeze deez nuts cold AC. Great car. I just use it for my commuter car back and forth to my off grid property now that's 47 miles from where I work. Although, I'm usually driving a tow truck everywhere, but now I at least have an economy ride for my days off if I ever get one, or want to cruise to So Cali to see family. You'll like that thing and have great luck with it. The Lexus too since they are also Toyota powertrain. Congrats !!!
Dang maybe I need lockers!’
@@isaacturnerit They ain't a bad idea bro. Now do a bit of research so you know the difference in a locker and a limited slip differential. A locker keeps both wheels in the axle locked up together, as I said you'd have a TRUE 4x4 with lockers. So now when you turn a corner and your wheels are locked together, you're going to feel a bit of an uncomfy bind and might even hear some poppin and clackin, that's the locker letting loose as it's supposed to do so you can turn the corner rather than bark your tires since turning a corner your wheels on the same axle are now moving a different speeds until you complete the turn. So some people like lockers for that reason. I love'm. Now there's limited slip diffs too. A limited slip diff works just like what you have right now. Both wheels are unlocked. Now when wheel slip is detected, the mechanism grabs the other axle and locks up the axles together so that you both wheels moving the same speed. So the limited slip diff is more comfy, but it also has parts like clutches and such that need replaced and the wheel locking up is not instant where as a locker stays locked up and only releases on a turn. Put it this way, Real off roaders use lockers, Street princesses use limited slip diffs, and that's OK too, they do work. Here's another consideration. Torque steer !!! When you're in 4x4 in the front axle and you go to turn, if your front wheels are locked up, it's going to be a bitch to turn and you're going to feel the steering wheel fighting you. It's normal. If you want to avoid that. Then do a locker in your back axle, and a limited slip diff in your front axle. So then you have a true 3 wheel drive, and the front axle will grab that 4th wheel when needed and you only feel torque when you need a true 4x4. Or, just leave your front axle alone and put a locker in your rear end. 3 wheel drive is going to get you about anywhere you want to go unless you are rock crawling and I don't recommend that in an overlander rig at all. Rock crawlers are purpose built and don't belong on the street. Rock Crawling is brutal and breaks a ton of parts.
Great thought process!
💗💗
Welcome to the 1st gen Toyota Tundra family…your truck looks in amazing shape..hope to see more videos
Hi Isaac, Jaylena and little getting big Ember. I was a little sad when you sold the busses, I have watched the builds but understand the reasoning behind selling them. Now you are going to give me more content of your Life. I can't wait! It's like having gained a new family, watching your adventures and I feel like a granny when I see Ember. I have 3 grandaughters, age 7 and 5 year old twins.Keep it coming lovelies, you're doing a fantastic job making an old woman happy. Much love from Bristol, England.
Thank you so much for being here :)
Your new truck is so cool. Looks like it’s in excellent condition. Happy for you Issac. 😊❤️
Thanks yo we love it!!
Congratulations Issac and family! 😊👍💕💕💕
💗💗💗
Your truck is fantastic it will make a great camper Issac! So happy for you all.😊
Thank you hyped about it!
Keep on truckin! 🤙
Will do!
Awesome truck, what a great find. Going to be fun just being able to get to places you couldn't before. ❤
Thanks for watching :)
No one understands the draw of a 4wd until they they go off road driving & exploring in one. The open rd really opens up when you have a 4wd to go off the beaten track & can really explore your back country & wildlife parks. Great choice Isaac for safety & fun adventures
One hundred percent!
In my opinion you did great. Even though I'm not into Toyota I think this was such a solid move. Congrats, its a great looking rig!
Thanks yo
Great video! First-time subscriber! Love the Tundra!
Ayyy thanks for watching!
The truck looks nice I think it can be a great adventure vehicle for you and the family. I am excited to see what you do with it. Take care.
Thanks for watching!
Congrats!!
💜💜💜 Great purchase
Thanks yoooo
My man you did the best decision ever. I’m looking to buy a tundra 05-06 to do exactly what you said.
Hey Isaac, I've got a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4-wheel drive cherry red 4 door pickup. Bought her off the showroom floor. As of today, it only has 56,000 miles. I baby my truck and don't put a lot of miles on it, and it's been garage kept the whole time. One reason I don't drive it much is because I'm 70 yrs old, hate to drive, and have promised my son (he's 31) my truck will be his when I stop driving. I want to hand it over to him with low mileage. You're gonna love that truck!!! Can't beat a Toyota truck!!!!!!❤
Wow that’s awesome!
Gee that is a nice truck and so happy for you. Thanks!
Thank you!
Happy for your new truck !
Thanks yo
Love your excitement!!!!
💗💗
Love the truck ,that's what a good man will do family always first keep trucking Issac 🙏🏿🙏🏿💖💖
💗💗💗
This is the Casio watch of trucks.. simple, reliable, timeless
Ha ha good way to put it!
Timex
In the 80's and 90's we pulled a 23' Cobra camper behind a Chevy Blazer with ease. Loved it. We camped in great campgrounds throughout New England. I'm 84 now, miss those days. From Connecticut. Love your family.
Sounds awesome!!
I'm so glad that you're taking your family's safety into account. Not that you haven't before, but what you said makes sense.
Thank you for watching
Awesomeness. Good Luck My Friend. Im sure this to will be amazing when your done . Love U Guys ....
💗💗💗💗
Never a dull moment!
We stay poppin
It’s a beautiful truck Isaac! Makes perfect sense why you chose to change up!! Looking forward to the up and coming adventures and builds. Take care 🥰
💗💗💗
Blessings on your new adventures with the fam.❤❤❤
Thank you!
I have a first gen Tundra as well. It's a 2002 access cab model. It's perfect for me! I love it so much! I got it around 150,000 miles and now it's just over 180,000 miles with minimal maintenance. Most I had to do was replace the driveline carrier bearing a couple times and lube the drive shaft. As well as replace a couple O2 sensors. Nothing else beyond normal tasks like oil/fluids has needed to be done. Do need to look at the timing belt as it is past when it should be changed. But I don't have the time or money at this point so I need to make sure it's in alright shape. If that fails it's a toasted motor unfortunately. I believe it should be every 9/10 years or 90,000 miles. Both of which mine is over since it was last done. But it's been a great truck for me! I feel in love with it from the first test drive and had to have it! I got a topper that came with it when I bought it and it's amazing for camping! I can setup an air mattress in the bed and camp in style! Aside from that the windows of the topper leak which makes it not so fun camping in the rain lol. But you have an amazing truck if you take care of it and it should go for a very long with minimal work! I need to get out and do some camping in my truck now that it's finally cooler out!
The first gen Tundras are so amazing and I love them! I will never get rid of my truck till it's completely toast! I never want a car payment again and prefer the older vehicles for the less nanny features that I don't need. And for the easier and cheaper maintenance that they need once in awhile. And being a Toyota it should be super reliable and last for a long time! Enjoy your truck and take care of it and you"ll go far!
❤your new truck. Cannot wait to see your new camper on it. Peace out.
Saaame
Excited to see more xxx
Hype can’t wait
I got 2006 sequoia, basically same truck with a 3rd row. had it for almost 9 years now. Its a nice ride. Will pretty much haul and get you out of any place. just regular maintainance. tires, oil change, brakes and timing belt and water pump (need to do that at every 100k). will bend the valves if the timing belt breaks. Very nice ride. Very simple to maintain. mostly everything is 10mm bolt. a few odds and ends, but you'll be happy with it.
Love the truck so far
Congratulations on the new truck ❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
I love this gen of Tundra! It's the perfect size truck imo!
I agree!!
I'm there with you on the Toyota's Isaac. Your truck looks really nice for a vehicle thats 17 years old!! Looking forward to the camper build.
Thanks for watching!
That Tundra is one beautiful beast. Just right for a daily driver and an adventure rig. Y'all enjoy!
Thanks yoo
Thanks yoo
I can’t wait to watch the new adventures go get it you guys🎉🎉🎉
💗💗💗
That truck will last you a very long time. You'll love it and it's very dependable.
Hyped!!
Half million miles easy... expect more. Whether you know it or not, you happen to have bought the singular best half ton pickup truck to ever grace the roads of North America. Well done
I love the truck!!
Super cool Dad-driver!! Look forward to watching the journey with it and the fam! :D
Dad driver!
Yep....Mom Mobile and Dad Driver! hahaha!@@isaacturnerit
Extremely excited about the direction so will get hubby addicted.
Thanks yo!!!
Good decision, Isaac. This is my first time driving a 4x4, too. I love the option, and got a Suburban because of it. I've already had to use it and I'm not even on the road yet. Lol.
I love 4x4
Awesome congratulations. This should be a interesting build. ❤
💗💗💗💗
Nice truck! Congrats Issac!!!
Thank you!
We have a Tundra and a Lance Truckcamper. The truck pulls a utility trailer for work, my husband's a gardener, and we go cross country or weekend camping with the camper! Perfect combo!! ❤❤❤
Got a camper and pull a trailer? Dang!
The truck is used for daily work, and yes with a truck camper you can still pull a small trailer for camping gear. Wood, tables, chairs, BBQ, bikes, awnings! Best combo ever! ❤
I always enjoy your videos. I found you about three years ago when I retired and will continue watching your new adventures. Good luck Issac, I must tell you I did a career in the Navy and then another 31 years traveling and repairing submarines as a civilian employee. My greatest adventure was as a husband and father. Carry on. Mike from Maine
Thank you so much for being here!!
Wise man, and you can't go wrong with a first generation
Tundra. Looking fo Dr a 2016 Tundra, really hard to find.
I have a 1996 4-Runner with over 500 thousand and still
going stronge. Take good care of that beauty and you'll
never have a problem.
I looove Toyotas!
So thrilled Isaac for your reasoning on going the direction you’re going with choosing a vehicle that works safely and is a trusty vehicle for the needs of your family - also respecting your fine example in buying something of quality in being a used vehicle so many go overboard in getting into debt in feeling the need to buy brand new at exorbitant prices but so glad you see value in having something you can rely on and easier to maintain mechanically - can’t wait to see your adventure rig - I have an older little 4x4 2007 ford explorer sport trac truck that I’m hoping to work on - hoping to make a type of rooftop camper for some weekend camping fun -great times ahead 🎉
Yooo thanks for understanding!
Very cool truck. I had one the first year they were made back in 99/00. Thing was bad to the bone. Good strong running truck. 👍
Awesome!
Waiting, congratulations on your truck, 👋👍🙏
💗💗💗
Love your change in direction.
Thanks yoo
I love my Toyota sienna van older model 2010-2015. I would not ever go back to a car. The Toyota is so comfortable to travel in. Great choice for a family/adventure rig. Have a great day. 💖🌟
I love Toyotas!
I love it! Both of you seem so relaxed and happy.❤️❤️
💗
So excited for you and your family 👍🏽 especially because your always putting your adorable daughter and girl 👍🏽💐
💗💗💗
Congratulations Isaac!
💗💗
Hello!" I like your truck. Nice color, good look, Have fun with it.😊
Great pic Isaac!!!! I have a friend who owns n travels with a Tundra-he tows an airstream n has his wife a German shepherd and a cat. He says will never get anything other than a Toyota Tundra again. Good luck can’t wait to see how you make it your own ❤️❤️❤️
Oh snap an airstream would be epic
