      Thank you! Yeah I tend to spend 15-20 hours editing every video like this. I also work 50+ hours a week so it’s a slow process. I do have 2 more from this trip, and 3-4 weekend trips videos in like for edit next. Hoping to have it all out by the end of the year!
      I’m also about to leave for Sedona for a week to go camp and check out UFOs on a tour with night vision goggles! Should make for a fun one!

    We always have to remember... I still need to get out and home. So it's not shame, it's smarts to let the obstacle win. Plus! That's what I bought a winch for... "I get to use my winch finally!!" Not letting the trail win makes for a REALLY bad day, for us folks that don't trailer our rigs everywhere.

    Nicely done as usual! I’ve been to that lake before, but didn’t come up the gulch to get there if it’s the same one? Some of those above timberline lakes won’t support trout because of their depth and freeze solid in winter. Beautiful country!!

    • @IndependenceOverland
      @IndependenceOverland  Год назад +1

      Thanks Scot, that makes sense. I also found some information saying this lake is an old volcanic shoot and it’s incredibly deep.
      There is definitely the easier way to get to the lake, and probably the way I will take next time! The crazy trails are cool and all, just not necessarily my style. It definitely is beautiful out there! Snow will be flying soon!

    I’m assuming the Tacoma had a regear when the lockers were put in, I’ve got the same regular cab Tacoma with a manual, considering which ratio to regear to when I add a locker. Do you know what he went with? Also considering upgrading to the 2016-17 4 cylinder Tacoma r156f transmission that has a lower 1st and 2nd gear.

    • @jabeuerlein86
      @jabeuerlein86 Год назад

      I went with 4.88's. I went with the 4.88's mostly because it returns it closer to stock ratios, but really wish I had a little more torque... In this video, I pretty much guarantee I would have made the climb with 5.29's. Downside is that rpm's will be higher cruising at highway speeds. If you can swing it, 4.88's and dual transfer cases is the best option. The r156f certainly wouldn't hurt either!

    • @IndependenceOverland

    Man, I dont get that obstacle. Some vehicles do it like it's nothing and some struggle. I just posted a video on it and did not get near as tippy. Maybe the longer wheel base helped. I am wanting to get a rooftop tent and definitely looking at weight so I dont get too top heavy.

    • @IndependenceOverland
      @IndependenceOverland  8 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah I think a slightly longer wheelbase would help, but we had a lot of rain during those days which didn’t help either. I’ll get it next time!

  • @ronbbaker
    @ronbbaker Год назад

    I assume from the video, there is no bypass around “the wall”, so the only way to get to the lake. Is that correct?

    • @IndependenceOverland
      @IndependenceOverland  Год назад

      I don’t believe so, if you connected from the way we went out. You would just have to check the maps and plan accordingly.
      I’m releasing a full length version of this adventure in 2 days. 1 hour and 30 minute run time!

      @ronbbaker Год назад

      @@IndependenceOverland That makes sense…I’m planning on going solo in late August and am actually more concerned about getting stuck on the wall and not being able to get out since it’s one way. I have a new Bronco with 35’s and lockers, so it shouldn’t be a problem…just trying to determine worst case scenario. I forgot to mention the video is fantastic and very helpful to scout the trail!

      It’s a 4 banger and that section is steeper than it looks. If he gives it too little it dies, so he has to hit that skinny pedal. Pretty hilarious if you ask me!
