I wasn't expecting a Part 2, but this was even better than Part 1. You've got a really good group there. You almost made me feel like I was part of it. The camera work was superb as you guys tackled the most challenging parts, even to the point of accepting some damage. Great stuff. I have a 2002 SR5 4WD that I bought new almost 20 years ago. It's my daily driver, but I've never done anything like you guys just showed, and I likely never will. So it was great to experience it vicariously. Many thanks for the thought that went into producing the video and the generosity of sharing your experience.
We're stoked you enjoyed the videos. Most of the camera work was handled by Ali and I agree he did a great job. My approach to making these 4wheeling Adventure videos is I do want you to feel like you're there by allowing for longer shots and showing things other than the 4wheeling action. It seems like most people who make 4wheeling videos have this quick highlight reel feel where you get a new visual every 4 seconds. I never liked those kind of videos. Thanks for the nice compliment. We appreciate it!
Yeah, Anwar is the best spotter I've experienced so far. He's a young guy but has tons of off-roading experience. Some guys don't want to be spotted because they want the "Challenge" to do it all on their own. I never mind someone spotting me, especially because I know it can prevent me from getting stuck or doing damage.
I drive these trails every year. Loved how you documented them. I can vouch that some of this sections are no joke and can be slightly scary. Super stoked to test out my 3rd gen 4Runner up there for the first time this year!
Thanks Sam! Glad you're enjoying our off-road adventure videos. Yes, we absolutely want to inspire people to get out there and explore in their rigs. It's definitely why I built up my 98. Mall Crawling is fun, but not as fun as doing the real thing.
@@TimmyTheToolman absolutely. What is so awesome about these rigs too is that they were totally designed to be capable, reliable, trail dogs. I am early in my build of my 97 limited 4x4, and its pretty awesome what stock suspension and all terrain tires can do already. Thank you for the videos!
@@LOYLSkipSh0t Agree. And I really like that they're smaller than some of those bigger 4x4's out there, allows us to get around some smaller spaces. I can't imagine some of those bigger 4WD vehicles trying to get through the trails in this video. Slowly building up my '98 as well (within reason - $$).
6:37 "You're real close!" **vrrrr SMACK** 🤣 Been there! Once I saw the 3rd gens gettin hairy I knew that 5th gen was in for some trouble 🤣 Love these videos, keep em comin!
There was a rock that the left rear tire would hit and kick you over to the boulder on the right. We saw evidence of previous group carnage with pieces of tail light lens on the ground.
Damn ! That was a great video ! Total off-road !! Beautiful scenery ! That was awesome man ! I never got a notification on this video ! I'm gonna have to watch part 1 ! 👍
It was a fun trip. You need to get out there and explore. It's a big reason for having a capable off-road rig. Mall Crawling is cool, but not as cool as the real thing.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I thought the wheeling videos would be more popular with people. Where's people's sense of adventure? I think my rig is relatively boring compared to a lot of people's rigs. It's nothing flashy but it's functional.
@@richlien5598 I'm running OME 861s. It gives around 5.5 inches of lift in the rear. With the just the rear bumper weight, it probably brings it down to 5 inches. When I load down with tools and gear for a trip, I'm about level. I carry lots of stuff so I'm pretty heavy when I do these trips.
Yep. I heard my rear end scrape along that boulder and I just gave it some more gas to get out. It's part of wheeling that you take some damage here and there.
I'm glad I found your channel, we have camped at Gold Lake (one of our faves) but never ventured to the 4x4 campgrounds. I'm not a rock crawler like your team is. I was wondering if my 4Runner will make the drive from the paved campgrounds to the more secluded ones that you stayed at?
Nice! Now I miss California and my Toyota!. If you are ever down South, check out Lockwood / Miller OHV trail. It's out of Hungry Valley OHV park. Did that trail with my stock 95'. Barely made it out from there, twice.
Wow those steep climbs and some of those passes! You guys have some cojones lol Really like how nicely you guys have modified your rigs.. All the fun I can get down here is the muddy Everglades Nat. Park. I will try that with my 2WD :) Haha.. nope
Yeah, the video doesn't show how steep they really were. We made it up no problem but sliding backward on a steep hill is scary and dangerous. Mudding is fun but I prefer the desert runs like we do in Death Valley and the higher Alpine runs we do in the Sierras.
@@TimmyTheToolman Hi Tim, Im a rock climber often in the Sierras annually. I recently acquired a 2001 4runner 4wd and would love to join the Sierra runs in the future.
@@yoimron Yeah, we could add you to the group. What are you doing next Saturday, September 10th? We're having a RUclips party at my house in San Jose if you're not doing anything. The details are in this video: ruclips.net/video/8OdEk5REUZs/видео.html
We try to access popular areas like this on the weekdays to avoid the crowds. The experience changes drastically when there's too many people. There's always one group that's too loud with their music or drunk talking and laughter and I like getting out in these areas to have more peace and quiet. We are all surrounded by plenty of noise in our everyday lives. I don't hate people but it's sure nice to get away from the usual hordes when you visit the mountains.
Great work on the 2 part videos! Im curious: what percentage of the 3rd gens had rear lockers? Looks like you’d need em to be able to complete that loop. Cheers!
Glad you like the videos. Don't know what percentage came with rear lockers. It was an option people could choose when they bought them brand new from the dealership.
I didn't mention it in the video. Yes, I used Gaia. It's a great app. I use it for all our off-road adventures. It's great to know exactly where you are on the map so you don't end up making a wrong turn and going off course.
man the inconsistencies of trail technical level raating is so erratic... this loop is a 7 on onX, the rubicon is an 8.... this looks like a 6 (for these set ups, which is the type of truck set ups i think trails should be rated...medium level builds)
@KirbyLouis It might be like rock climbing where the rating comes from the hardest obstacle. The HUGE difference between Snake Lake and the Rubicon is Snake Lake has a handful of hard obstacles, and the Rubicon has dozens and dozens of hard obstacles. Big big disparity between those two trails.
Don't really know when it comes to used. People go the used JDM route for engines but that's a real crap shoot whether you get lucky and get a good one, or unlucky and do a bunch of labor just to put a piece a junk engine in your rig. If you're looking at rebuilt engines, I would suggest Yota1 Performance in Riverbank, California. For the transmission, Marlin Crawler sells rebuilt ones.
Hey Tim I had a question for you. Went to get my yearly inspection today for my 3rd gen so I decided to get an oil change also. So the shop told me they had to add a quart of coolant inside of the coolant jug. They added Shellzone yellow universal coolant. Now my truck has the Toyota red coolant. Would my 4Runner be ok with this? Thanks for your help!
@@TimmyTheToolman Thanks for the reply Tim, yeah the universal stuff they put in contains silicate and I heard silicate is not good for our Toyota’s. So unfortunately I’m going to flush the whole thing. Sucks cause the coolant is only 10k miles old. 🤦♂️
@@jaymoar3561 Well, you said they topped off the reservoir with it. Maybe just pull the reservoir, drain it out and refill with with a 50/50 Toyota Red mix. Not very much ended up back in the radiator, but do what you think is best. If it makes you feel any better, my 2000 3rd Gen ran with Prestone Green for probably 100,000 miles with zero issues. I recently converted it to Toyota Red when I did the timing belt job on it.
@@TimmyTheToolman Yeah I heard it’s fine to use one or the other like you did but mixing the two could cause problems. I’ll have to see how much is still in the reservoir tank tom when I have some daylight. Thanks again
Everyone huh? Well, I guess we must have skipped class that day when the teacher was talking about the lack of fish in Little Deer Lake. You're a funny guy Tim.
@@TimmyTheToolman thank you Timmy. I see another steep climb on the other side of the lake. I mean either wait you do it, you’d have to climb a steep section. I am looking at the Gaia gps terrain map and it shows a similar ascent on each side, one on snake lake side and the other one on little deer lake side. The steepness looks the same on the map but you are saying it is more difficult if we try to go up from snake lake? Thank you. I am taking some people that may not be proficient to do the most difficult terrain.
@@Achisachis73 Both ways are steep but I'd much rather do it in the direction we did. That drop into Snake Lake we came down was rocky and loose. No way I'd want to climb that unless I was in a dual locked rig with a winch. I think it would be a fiasco of witching to get up it.
@@TimmyTheToolman As an ex-3rd-genner, now driving a 4th gen, I was wishing there was a 4th gen on the trip. Until you got to that tight squeeze! It looked like a 3" wider 4th gen might not have fit through. Was there a bypass?? Or just, punch it though no matter what?!
@@DanTuckerSails Hey Dan, there's actually another trail that cuts off of our route near Snake Lake that would go around that boulder constriction obstacle. I haven't driven it though and don't know what you would encounter on it. You would miss the rest of the loop doing that though but I guess you could come back around, go to Little Deer Lake and then turn around and finish the loop.
It was that way when we were there too but there were clear signs that people had set up camp there. The way we knew is there was quite a bit of trash up there. People can be disrespectful A-holes. The outdoor experience is being rationed out more and more and more. There's more people with the same available areas to recreate in. At some level I support it because the experience is ruined when there's too many people but it sucks that you have to put your name in a hat for a lottery to access some areas.
Its a tricky obstacle because you think you're clear and then your left rear tire hits a rock and pushes you into the boulder on the right. 3 of us took damage there.
@@TimmyTheToolman At the 9 minute mark. That was painful to watch you guys taking damage to the right rear quarter panels. The rear differential scrapes too. There was some steep ascents and decent on this trip
@@brucewayne2773 Yeah, it was painful to hear as I was scraping by that bolder but I decided a long time ago this 98 4runner that I built was for off-roading and I'm not going to lose sleep over some scrapes and dents. This is going to be my vehicle for a very very long time and I'm not worried about resale value. When I get rid of it, I'll be too old and too tired to give a shit what it sells for. My armor and bumpers did what they were intended to do and not something that's just cool to look at while cruising the mall. My front skid took a hit. Both bumpers took hits. My rock sliders took hits and my rear diff skid took several hits. I'm actually stoked they took hits because they did their job to protect me from more extensive damage. This trip validated why I spent so much money and time on all that stuff.
@@TimmyTheToolman Wise investment indeed. I would be interested to buy one that is all done like yours to take the punishments and not worry about the cosmetic damages and just to enjoy on it the trails.
@@brucewayne2773 Yeah, that's exactly why I bought this one. I have a 2000 that's mostly stock that I use as a daily driver. I take it off-road but just on mellow fire roads to go camping and mountain biking.

That is a very steep trail. Been wanting to do it myself.
It's pretty fun. I only wish the fishing was better at those lakes. I know Gold Lake has fish in it but the other two seemed devoid of fish.

Don't know. What vehicle do you have?
On the red 4runner there was a red canister underneath on the back, what is that?
