Awesome content Mike! Building an neglected truck up and amazing memories. Love the direction of the channel.

Heck yeah man, I commented on your Death Valley video. As a previous St. George resident thanks for picking up that trash I appreciate it! A lot of folks go off that Washington damn road and dump a bunch of shit. I think it’s a lot of the out of towners who’ve moved in since Covid.

I am watching your videos while on vacation in Vietnam! You’re a funny guy! Good sense of humor!!

Thanks for taking us on the journey with you. Love the content.

Sweet video, love the build.

Awesome video Mike,,glad you and the Taco had a blast!

Awesome video! I’m from NY and can’t wait to be able to take my truck out west for a few weeks and explore like this. Keep up the good work!

Great content!!! Really enjoyed watching your trip.

Awesome video Mike, your videos are getting better and better each video! looking forwards to more camping content!

Great video😊love to see the camping with the taco. I love your channel

Really fun video! Thanks for sharing!

Great video Mike! You have brought that Tacoma back from the dead into an awesome truck! You should be proud of it! I loved the "It falls apart at that speed" comment. Yeah, the Tacoma is not gonna set any salt flat records. Lol

Utah looked liked a whole lot of fun! Always looking forward to your videos Mike. The Taco finally paying off 🙌🏼

Ok so lets talk about that cooler. I have 2 of them and they are deadass the best cooler for the money by far. I've been out at a fish camp of my family's for about a full week one time and it held ice the entire time. Everything stayed at a consistent temperature the whole time. Even here in the scorching FL sun building fence all week long with it in the bed of my truck it was holding ice mon-fri. Love those damn coolers. The only gripe I have with them is they need a vent somewhere that you can open and close. Sometimes the suction they get is so damn strong you gotta pry the lid open. Love the vids tho mike. Started watching your vids when you got this taco and absolutely love this build series. Keep up the amazing work man! (powerline trails are where its at tbh)

Nice taco, I use 91 octane in mine as well I seen a big difference in gas mileage going from 21mpg to 24 mpg and feels more alive not sluggish as it once did when I was using 87octane , I guess that 3.5L with 11:1 compression ratio needs the higher octane to get the best performance out of it Good work 👍🏻

The only reason I run it is because it’s supercharged, otherwise it would be getting the cheap stuff!

I know the tunnels (past Elko), salt flats by Wendover, Spanish fork canyon, the car wash across from McDonald's by Kanes creek. (Live in Utah) When i mentioned the Uintahs, last vid, my bad, i wasn't sure where you where headed exactly, also my bad dumping on Moab. Its just for me, that area, has significantly changed, for my liking (the people). We even tried it just before you, on the 23rd and 24th. Anyway, I am 100% with your style,.. and dig the attitude. Great vid. Stay up my guy.

That big plane was the StratoLaunch , designed to launch rockets and spaceplanes from high altitude to space under the center . I've been to the Mohave airport a few times , I worked on Spaceship 1 for Scaled Composites during the development phase . Sadly the founder of Stratolaunch Paul Allen died in 2018 and only recently have things started back up again , a lot of us in the aerospace field were worried the family would part it out but thankfully it looks like Paul's dream may yet come true .
