always stoked when you upload. Not often you find chill youtubers with entertaining long form content who don't feel like they're putting on a facade personality. Cheers brother.

😂 why do you need your friends to ride with you? Scared?
A thick reading book in the fridge LOL...the expanse of the Death Valley area is crazy but amazingly beautiful. For a place so devoid of life and wicked dangers, it's a truly gorgeous place.

It absolutely is.
I could watch these dedicated trip videos for hours it gives me ideas for stuff to do on my own
Definitely enjoy this type of video. The rebuild videos are excellent but we want to see you enjoying the builds also and living vicariously through you.

Bad ass vid 👍
I busted up laughing when you said it was the start of a horror movie hahah
Awesome video Mike. I can't imagine exploring charles manson's hideout alone at night
Whoop whoop Mike is on a roll after his long awaited return! 🙏 🙌🏼
Thanks for taking us along. Great channel you got going.
Awesome video Mike I really enjoy all of your content!! Thanks again
Excellent video Mike, thanks for taking us along!
this is one of my favorite videos of yours. Rad to see a project you've put so much time into out there doin it's thing. Good timing too as I'm trying to put together a camping trip in the next few weeks, Death Valley is definitely on the list now. Cheers!
Got hooked by your first Tacoma build videos, been watching every video since. Keep up the great work buddy 🤙
Great video! Refreshing to see someone just exploring and having fun and not taking it so serious with the gear and food. Thanks man!
Great video Mike, definitely interested in more like that. I give you tons of credit for all the work that went into it. Also, props for doing it all on your own.
super relaxing to watch you go on your journey. This really makes me eager to finish working on my 1993 jeep YJ and take it out to local trails and campsites to do some overlanding. I really enjoyed your video and just the serenity of Death Valley, hats off to you for doing it solo!
Keep the videos up man. Your style of video is a breath of fresh air. I did something similar in college in SLO, drove through the desert and ended up my trip camping on pismo.
Thanks for sharing. I always get excited when I see a new video. 👊
good simple video, entertaining to watch, keep making them. it's good content seeing you wheeling around and just exploring.
Love that truck. Nice to live close to all these awesome places to tour and explore...Great video Mike 💯🇨🇦
I gotta say, this has been one of the more inspiring videos for me. I’ve wanted to go on a trip like this for a while, but for one reason or another haven’t committed. CA has some amazing sites and history to explore, I need to get out and see it.
Big fan of your channel, Mike. Hope you keep it up 👍🏻
This is one of my favorite videos of yours yet. Love to see the Taco in its element and see you adventuring. It's inspiring. Keep making the awesome videos man. You rock.

Very cool seeing the mines and seldom visited parts of death valley. Thank you for sharing
always a good day to see an upload from you!
Great stuff Mike. Looking forward to more content!
Ohh , didn’t realize this was a new one I just subscribed today. I was checking your vids on the “pre runner shocks” on the Cherokee. I like what you did with the rear shocks.
Pretty cool video! Death Valley and a Toyota truck, you didn´t disappoint!
Just found your channel, you just gained another follower dude! Keep uploading!!
Great video man! Would love to see more trips like this!
Love your videos! Always looking forward
Awesome blog brother. Watched the whole thing. One day I’ll go out exploring like this. This is life.

That's the best tacoma model out there! The size and power are perfect. I love my 4.0 but I love my friend's 3.4 as well.
I love Death Valley! I'm driving a 25 yr old RAV4 currently - doing fine and I'm impressed .......More Death Valley adventures please - enjoyed this a lot
Great video love the wrenching and trip videos

Hell yeah dude, sick vid keep them coming! 🤙🏽
Really cool video! I love how your video wasn't embellished by music - just raw footage.
I have a 23Zero Breezeway 62 RTT and i would say its more than big enough for both me and my girlfriend at the same time. I'm 6'3 ~210 pounds and still find it very comfortable to sleep in. We do bring an extra memory foam layer to throw in and that definitely helps. Just as comfortable as my bed at home
As an 03 tacoma quad cab owner, so cool to see this! I just got a hard top tent and have it mounted much like yours. I did the same exact thing with the ladder at first 😆

Jersey Mike's, that's my wife and my go-to, off-road exploring sandwich place. Great video. My wife and I are going to do a trip to DV before the end of Winter.
I had a chance to visit death valley last summer. Late afternoon just in time to catch the sunset. Followed by a thunderstorm, it went from 120 degrees at 7 pm to 55 degrees. The sunset was just incredible, truly an experience.
Love your videos can’t wait to get my 1st gen sequoia out on some trips soon
Enjoyed the shit outta that man. Glad you're back with some new content.

Awesome video, you inspired me to head down there in a couple weeks. Try pulling the tent ladder all the way out then shortening it. I have an older tepui and that’s how you get mine to lock
New here but gonna tell you this you are funny, really missed some silly humour like this :) Loved the vid, looking forward for more!

Pretty wild that the cabin had a fresh fire in the fireplace but nobody anywhere to be found
Wicked. Rode down through death valley on my motorcycle in 2019. Crossed the Ebbets pass in November and picked up the 395 south. Spent the night in Brighton and loved my next day in the valley. Next night was in Nipton. Great adventures.
Pretty funny your a master mechanic yet had trouble with the ladder😂. Fun video. Thanks
Sick trip, thanks for sharing!
Makes me miss Nevada So much amazing back country!! Definitely can be a little overwhelming You just have to be careful Nice video!! Get those bushings replaced 😅. I take that back.. you had replaced them.. definitely something squeaky tho. Anyway good fun run!!
Nice!!! We did this almost same trip last January (2023) but in reverse. Trona, Escape Trail/Fish Canyon, Goler Wash/Mengel Pass, Warm Springs, West Side Road and Cerro Gordo. Happy wheelin' and be safe.

This is sweet. Reminds me of back in the day I had a old 92 Toyota I drove from Seattle and moved to St. George Utah and I would drive around and explore the southern desert there. Good times. Nothing quite like it. Especially when you get to a surreal place

Just stumbled upon your video. Awesome solo trip! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great video, thanks for a good adventure. Those piles of dirt from the mines are called tailings
What a cool adventure!!! I like to see more videos

Looks like a good time bro 🤙🏻. Need to get my 4runner out on a trip again.
Looks like you're having fun out there I have the 2004 Tacoma with 230,000 miles on it still running strong amazingly enough I can sleep in the passenger seat with the extra cab and the seat all the way back it's relatively comfortable. Especially because I need the space in the back forthe Dirtbike.
Thanks for taking us with you bruv!
Yooo yeah you passed through Cero Gordo out there. I've wanted to check that place out, but you're wild for going out in the winter lol.
Bro you are bat shit crazy to do all of that by yourself. Major props.
awesome video mike !
I love how you build your armor by yourself, If you ever make one for 3rd gen 4runners, shoot me a message. I really like the look of the tubular one on the 3rd gen taco and also this swingout on the 1st gen!
Awesome video Mike 😊
Epic way to end the trip man!
Peak KZread, just a dude, a truck, and the open desert. No 5m budget, fancy editors, careful thumbnail selection to boost engagement

Finally! Was wondering if you were done with the vids.
nah wtf that cabin w the lit fire was insane
Nice video, Mike!!
I exploded Dead Valley last year in a 1987 Toyota 4Runner. That’s old. Great job👍🏾
Hell Yeah. My type of Dude! Never been to Death Valley but it’s on my list. Cheers

That creepy first cabin with the fire going but nobody in sight? NOPE. Hell no. Definitely run.
It's nice to have a offroad/adventure channel that doesn't rely on clickbaity bullshit titles to garner attention like all those other shnooks. Keep it up
Dope af video bro, an awesome vid for sure! I stayed at some of those cabins, you’ll know if it’s occupied if they’re flying a flag out front like the one with the fire had going on. Keep up the great work!
I have the same tent and I about lost my shit the first time I used it trying to figure the ladder out. Gotta start with it fully together and pull one by one from the bottom
