Watch out for samsquanch.
Great video Francis. Thank you for sharing, I'm curious how you set up your drawers when you head out on a trip. Thank you.
Ok, I gotta ask: What about incoming traffic, and the vehicle is an earthroamer?
@@luisd.hernandez9046 haha earthroamer would be great. What about incoming traffic though?
Super nice looking rig, but a 2" taller tire only gives you a 1" lift, as you can only take half of the increase in tire size due to measuring from the middle of the wheel to either top or bottom. Thanks for the info, I'm trying to figure out whether I need to switch to TRD Pro wheels versus my TRD Off Road based on off sets, since I'm going to try 255/80-17. Hoping to avoid any rubbing based on it being more narrow but they are slightly taller than the 285/70's.
Absolutely love the video, intro was perfect! Question what trash carrier is that?!
@@joelburciaga3663 it is a “last us bag”
What tire carrier is that ?
@@dnevada89509 it is a rigD ultraswing
Hi Francis! Hope you’re doing well. I’m still looking forward to your next vid. You’re bringing us to great adventures and I’m really inspired with all you do and bring to us.
@@campyb4ra I’ve put a pause on my videos but keep a look out, I’ll be back sometime soon. Thanks for watching!
Fascinating video. I camped in Oregon national forest last year and it was amazing. From Colorado here and we got tons of great places for disperse camping.
What a collection of gear! What is that ceiling net?
@@ThrillaPark thank you! Do you mean inside the tent? It came with the roof top tent.
@@francisngo No, I meant the net inside that holds stuff. Want something like that. Link? tia.
@@ThrillaPark sorry I’m not sure what net you’re referring to.
You’re right. I DID mean the net in the tent - which you said came with. Sorry for the confusion!
@@ThrillaPark All good!
Bro go some cold places plz. Thank you!
@@kiddygia8013 haha maybe this winter :)
Mosquitoes and flys didn’t carry you away?!😲
@@sabre7 this was early in the season where there wasn’t any mosquitoes yet!
Hey thanks for the video man. I got the same exact car used 45k miles on it. Considering doing the headlight leds and bigger tires. Dumb question- i don’t wanna lift my 4runner, can i put 275/70/r17 on the same wheels? Will that rub? What is the best led headlight bulbs you recommend? Thanks man!
Personally, i like the 265 tires on the black 17” TRD wheels. Will probably get some 265 KOs after the Grapplers are worn.
Incredible footage. Looks like national geographic. Wow (From a jealous east-coaster)
Great video. My truck and setup looks almost identical!!
awesome video, thanks for sharing it .
Bro was working the hel out of that drone at max attitude . I see you got your money worth
Found your channel randomly, it’s a shame your last video was posted 7 months ago!! Love your videos!! Dope!!
Love your videos. With your 3 in. lift, how much clearance do you have?
Amazing video. Great production Certainly sets a vibe 😎 Thank you Sir 🫡
A brotha You definitely have talent in the overlander culture. Your culinary skills are excellent and very sultry. Your video editing is perfect, checking out the build while the Orzo cooks down is genius. Great Job. Greetings from a fellow overlander in San Luis Obispo CA.
What brand/color of wrap is that? Looks great!
Did you ever switch the wheels to the -10 offset?? Did you make a video? Thanks bro
Very good vid!
balls! I just did this trail and not gonna lie I got lost on a couple of the open rock parts lol. The stairs at the end were steep! Great vid!
It’s such a fun trail. So many obstacles. So many views. It was a great time, very thrilling!
the red is the best color, by far
Says your website is expired
It’s back up now !
where youre friend?
Did you have any vibration issues, steering wheel vibrations?
Minor but because they’re bigger and more off-road tires. Have you got the wheels properly balanced after installing?
@@francisngo I got them Road Force balanced and it was a big improvement. Thanks for the reply.
This is beautiful. Need to get healthier and enjoy something like this.
Quick sand wrapping came out awesome! Super interested to know about your vinyl wrapping experience? What product and how much did you use? How many hours did it take to wrap it around? Any comments or separate video is much appreciated!
Thanks, Francis... Super helpful... QQ: When mounting the support bracket to the fender, did you use both screws? There's a piece blocking the second screw hole coming from the small fuse box holder.
Did you have any balancing issues?
No balancing issues
Good build, campsite, food, chill music, and absolutely flawless videography! This is some seriously good work. Many thanks!
Thanks for checking out my video!
If you come to the east, look me up.
Nice rig, im getting a 2024 trd off road premium plus, same color, it happened very unexpectedly, been doing alot of research since i made the decision to get it, glsd the opportunity arose, i hope the 2025 models will prove themselves the way these models have, in today's world, the working class people really deserve a quality product we can count on!!! I've been a toyota truck guy for years, can't beat the longevity u get from them. Unfortunately, i live in a salt state & that eats them up, i have a 98 tacoma ext cab i bought in Tennessee in 09, put a 6" lift on & do not drive in the salt, drove out to alaska once, down to Florida several times, it has 220,000 miles on it now & still a real good vehicle, plan on passing it & the new 4 runner down to my nephews when its time for me to be done, hard to find simple quality products that last anymore, looking forward to start modifying the new one!!
Can't agree with you more. Toyota are built to last forever. Even the new "hybridized" Tacoma and Tundra will last - I still see 1st gen Priuses on the road. That speaks volume! It might not have all the bells and whistles you see in BMWs and Mercedes but it sure will outlast them. I've been a Toyota owner all my life so I might be bias but it's hard to stir away from its reliability and longevity. I also plan to keep this 4Runner. Thanks for watching!
This was soooo helpful Francis! Do you still have the wiring diagram you linked in your website before it went offline?
Cool - thanks for the vid. Just upgraded my tires to 285/70/17. Quick question - what phone mount are you using?
I use a magsafe car mount - here is the link: amzn.to/3wNsiqB
@@francisngo Thanks
hey bro! stumbled upon your channel and i found your setup very cool! where I can find your build sheets if u dnt mind me asking ?
I have an old copy of it somewhere on my google drive. Reach out to me on Instagram and I could send it to you.
Great Video, thanks dude!
Thanks for the video, I got the same set up to the tee, after trying to start my air compressor and it doesn’t even start up there is a click notice when trying to turn it on, if I unplug both compressors the fan turns on. I got in contact with the shop I got it from and they said I can’t hook the compressor straight to the the switch pros and that I have to run it to the battery, they also said I need to use the ARB harness the one with the purple wire, after looking at the schematic the purple wire becomes the red wire and that he said that goes to the switch (makes no sense in needing that section of the harness) I haven’t installed it yet just trying to get more information on why it’s not turning on before I install it, I did us the battery from a vehicle but it still doesn’t turn on , the only wires I didn’t run to through was the blue and white wire that goes to the fuse box instead I put it on the circuit breaker just to test it. I’m not sure if that’s why it’s not turning on. If you got any ideas I’d like to know. Aloha!!!
I’m curious. When camping like this what’s the proper way to dispose of any scraps or leftovers so you don’t attract bears?
I carry a tire bag for carrying trash and firewood - check out Last US Bag. They're great products.
Thanks for the video Francis, I find these simplistic videos very calming and inviting. You have a really nice rig, I hope to be investing in a similar setup within a year. Cheers from Sean, Vancouver, BC
Great videography. Your intros are amazing especially including the soothing relaxing music. If only your camp set ups are on point this would be a great channel

Type of quality that will make it
What cutting board is that? Awesome videos
Hi Francis, you don’t afraid ocean breeze will rust your truck by staying too close to the beach?
Thanks for the visual guide! Any chance you can tell me the distance between the bottom of the tray and the top of the fuse box? There's guy 3D printing fusebox extensions for the 2020+ that makes room for fuse taps. My tray is ready for install but want to add the extension before if it will fit.
Just discovered your channel man. You have INCREDIBLE cinematography. Can’t wait to get up to speed with all the vids you have now and see more in the future
Awesome video man, love the golden light hitting the pines. SO beautiful
