Thanks for this conversation!!!
Comment from : Lamar Williams

I guess most people don't use their vehicle as a daily driver and overlanding huh?
Comment from : SpyderDan1985

I believe the best 4x4 overlander is the one you can afford I swap alot, now i ride a 2022 VW taos daily and looking into a Toyota Highlander (1990-2003 models) for overlanding

Great info! I'm new to this and trying to learn as much as I can
Comment from : Memo Farias

Those are a lot of the things I have considered In the end you always wind up with some compromise Great discussion!
Comment from : Rene Velez

You are a brave man I would bet you $1 million you would not choose a Land Rover if you had to take it to Africa or the Pan-American highway Have you ever considered a Lexus 460 GX? I am boggled that you actually use a Land Rover for anything other than driving around San Diego Wonderful video by the way thank you

Great topic hits

BradbrbrHow do you keep from getting the dreaded pinstripes from branches and shrubs on the trail in your Ram? I have an F250 with overland upgrades to suspension, tires, racks, RTT, etc The truck performs really well except when the trail gets tight Did you do a clear wrap (good 3M flexible) on the sides? Do you research and only go on trails that are going to be wide enough? There has to be an answer for those of us running a full size vehicle

Great vid gents Thanks 👍🏼
Comment from : Legends Beware

Modifying a vehicle after purchase is almost like a disease Once owners start spending their discretionary income on aftermarket modifications they don’t know when to stop The aftermarket companies love these individuals😁
Comment from : Mini2nut

Awesome discussion video! Thank youbrbrIt is a dream to go out west and run those roads and trails!
Comment from : HEMITJ

I love all of the different rigs, modded out jeeps, and my favorite the Ram 2500s (cause I own one) but I'm surprised we don't see any one overlanding in a Hummer H1 (or an old surplus HMMWV)
Comment from : Maple Ridge Dairy

Great video thanks for sharing your thoughts, although I did not hear either one mention the number one factor in my opinion is BUDGET!! My thoughts are get what you can in YOUR BUDGET and make it work the best you can!!
Comment from : James Ajac

On PBS, Car Talk was once ask what vehicle to overland from Canada to the tip of South America they picked a Land Rover only because in every remote country you can find parts I would still take a Jeep Wrangler but was a point worth thinking about I love them both but have owned 10 jeeps and no Land Rovers Dirt's channel makes me think if I make that trip ?!?!

I enjoyed the convo guys, and fun to see you in my home state

Great discussion to watch! THANKS Enjoyed all of it!!
Comment from : Marcus Alan Cate

Best vehicle is the one you have A lot of great art is born within the confines of limitations There are people over landing out of be bugs
Comment from : WBR79

Nothing on truck camper versus trailer
Comment from : Cort Johnson

What about adding an extra gas tank? or maybe a bigger one if possible, things to consider
Comment from : Trevor J

Great conversation Brad & Nate I bought my first 4x4 in 1976, a F150 with manual transmission My wife & I took it on a camping trip up to the White Mountains of northern eastern Arizona I drove up a really rocky, steep forest road & peaked out at the highest point on the mountain thinking I had really accomplished something only to find a '60's Volkswagen beetle parked also at the top Took my 1994 F-150 4x4 last year up the notorious backroad from Lake Pleasant to Crown King, My son-in-law & I both have a 2003 Land Rover Discovery We have made numerous trips in them from Phoenix to Prescott, Payson & Flagstaff areas, as well as Bloody Basin & Table Mesa Roads in our "unreliable" Land Rovers! Proper maintenance, preparation & sensible driving skills go a long ways!

Great conversation! As an X-Infantry soldier, now retired, I know the difficulties and suffering, when going out to the woods unprepared My two cents, particularly when dragging the family along for the fun, it seems to me, rule 1; do not forget anything! Your plan should read like an operation’s order, together with mission essentials and considerations for a safe, secure, fun, round trip Get in and get out Just thinking, as I learn from you Thank you!
Comment from : Jose Antonio Fernandez

This was fantastic watched guys from Nee Zealand they had a bunch of stuff even battery chain saw and knowing what to bring for food :-)
Comment from : Brian G Ellman

What about sprinter Van's
Comment from : David

You guys pretty much covered everything !👍🏻 but at the end of the day it comes down to your needs and wants! I really wanted a 4Runner, Tacoma or jeep JL but didn’t go that route since I need a higher tow capacity and payload ! Ended up with a double cab GMC Sierra 1500 v8 and it gets the job done so easy! Good mpgs on the highway as well on 35’s ! Rides smooth and handles great offroad with fox suspension! And still tows 9k
Comment from : Manuel Ramos

Anyone that says you don't need a winch on an overlander hasn't actually gone anywhere challenging in their rigor they throttle out when in doubt with the parts flying
Comment from : GeekyTechyCool

I wish you had somebody cruising with you in a sprinter van Also, they have aftermarket stuff where you can replace your factory gas tank with a bigger one (489 gallons) & an auxiliary gas tank (28 gallons) I heard with just the auxiliary tank alone, you can drive around 700-750 miles
Comment from : berniedmj1

What's your gas mileage in the power wagon on the trails?
Comment from : RV Having Fun Adventures

Depending on the year/generation, wasn't the VW able to be optioned with front, center, and rear lockers? Even thought they had the ability to lift themselves a couple of inches
Comment from : Shawn Brown

Maybe a Ram2500 with Cummins 6bt would’ve been better brad?
Comment from : James Kopic

Great video Is there a video where we can see more about Josh’s Gladiator?
Comment from : Dustyn Manuel

Vehicle reliability is key My Toyota is ultra-reliable and it will never be a parts orphan

Is a jimny okay?
Comment from : Chocoballs

I saw you both coming down the hill towards Mazama Campground at Crater Lake a few days ago 👍
Comment from : Trent Slusher

Good information, thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience…brMore of these talks please
Comment from : Hugh Wolfe

I rented a Jeep in Colorado to drive on some off-road trails last week and saw like 10 UTV’s for every Jeep I saw
Comment from : G G

Good stuff! I remember floating around in mud with my 4x2 Ford Explorer that had a truck frame with my son Fully capable in most situations, but crossing a shallow river bed, got stuck twice in a small hole with mossy rocks I wasn’t far off-road in my mother in-laws backyard, but making out of so many places, it really gives you a false sense of security
Comment from : NINEZ

Check out the Seattle area as there are new KOA campgrounds going up everyday! 👍🏻
Comment from : Sean Stevenson

fun conversation have 2 vehicles I am building for overlanding One is more like the tiguan and the other is or like your power wagon, but its soo expensive to build them :
Comment from : GamerGeek

Did Nate say Midwest and Utah in the same sentence? 😂 oh those silly PNW people 😬 from Detroit, and I'd move to Utah in a heartbeat if life situation allowed
Comment from : Schlexpeditions & Reviews

Thanks to both of you Great episode that was very informative
Comment from : David Bennett

We are taking an Amtrak to Washington and renting a Tacoma Unfortunately I don't have a lot of extra time to explore but I would love to spend a week or two exploring beautiful Washington statebrGreat video
Comment from : Adventures of C&J

I think a decent consideration for most people is the fact that your rig is also your daily driver
Comment from : OverRun

Speaking of Comfort One of the best upgrades I did to my '06 TJ was to upgrade the Seats The OEM seats offered almost no support and at the end of the day, you would feel like someone had beat you with a bat Now, the new seats support and hold you in place No more beat feeling at the end of the day Well worth the cost!
Comment from : KA5IVR

I hate that it is such a huge part, but budget/cost has to be high on the list of considerations I drive a currently stock power wagon (which cost so much I'm kinda scared to wheel it) so I know a dream setup like yours cost deep into 6 figures For some a used Tiguan may be the most they can afford Bottom line is just to be happy with the capabilities that you can afford And for goodness sake, be polite and respectful to everyone who deserves it, regardless of what they drive
Comment from : Brian L

How true our needs change in life so does our overland ingenuity with our rigs and gear to obtain our goals out on the trails Only answer I have found is to build your rid for your needs and goals
Comment from : James Connely

I thought I saw your power wagon up on Bethel ridge!
Comment from : Matt Jones

When you camp in areas with bears, what do you do to store food, trash etc securely? Do you keep it all in your pop-up camper?
Comment from : M H

so glad to you see you WA and hitting the WABDR! I am excited to see if you do the BDR from canada to mexico when that one is fleshed out (if you decide to do it)
Comment from : James Fisher

Great video I have 4 long legged kids plus my wife who all REALLY enjoy camping When we had to replace our previous family vehicle, a Ford Expedition, I was able to stumble upon a replacement, except this one is 4wd We target camp sites that are further out than most weekenders are wanting to venture to No difficult rock crawling, but North GA mountains and creeks and stream are common We have room for the fridge and I am about to toss on some slightly larger tires The next step will be a roof rack and I will be completely set (except for the never ending tweaking) Maybe when the older two move out, we can get something more nimble, but for now, the larger vehicle's size and comfort is the best fit brbrBoth of you keep up the great videos
Comment from : STinGa157

Nice video Great conversation

Great topic Brad Always good content
Comment from : Howard H

I have a 40 year old chevy k30 crew cab long bed single rear wheel that I take overlanding probably more times than I should still haven't left me stranded in the mountains no you don't need a brand new Cummins or Rubicon you just have to keep up on maintaining your vehicle Whatever the fuck it is
Comment from : K30Nick

Need to come up to trout lake Washington and camp come see my jeep
Comment from : Ronald Daron

Good to see you two doing a segment together again Great interactive discussion
Comment from : blackfoot16

Trail Recon, I think your next upgrade will be the RV with a Jeep in flat tow
Comment from : Norman Johnson

I completely agree with overbuilt cause you never know what you’ll need! Few weeks back during that heatwave, a couple buddies and I went to Van Epps in Cle Elum WA, it’s a mild trail We all have well built wheeler/overlander s but if we didn’t have a winch we wouldn’t have made it! Even though it was dead summer and the hottest point at that, there was still hard pack slushy snow that we had to winch across so for anyone who thinks bare minimum is ok, think again!
Comment from : Giovanni Estribor

Interesting talk! I have an f150 that unfortunately came with 20" wheels, I put 33" duratracs on it which helps a little and am getting skid plates and a 2" lift I have been a bit apprehensive about taking it out to do trails like this because of the 20" wheels, but the tiguan story just goes to show you can take anything out as long as you have a group to go with and enjoy the outdoors without all the expensive gear that makes it a lot easier, but isnt necessary I will be curious to hear about the trailer experience from nate as thats what im hoping to do as well!
Comment from : WeekendWarriors

My overlanding vehicle is a Ford 2002 Ford F150 As of now it has a 25 inch lift on it that was a total mistake My advise to anyone that may be beginning to build a vehicle is to research and find a lift that is engineered properly I am now saving money to lift my truck again When I could have purchased a better engineered lift in the first place I am physically challenged and was wanting to leave my truck as low as I could and also get larger tires on it for a little more clearance I will be going to a 4 inch lift in the future, and possibly with 35 inch tires with a lower gear ratio in the differentials With the lift I currently have I am unable to trust my rig on little more than a paved road
Comment from : Joe Easterling

Hey Brad great show , can you talk about IFS or solid axle which one is better ?!
Comment from : Hussain Al Lawati

Great Topics! 👍
Comment from : Luis Davila

Ps: Brad dont forget your not English follower, sometimes (I don't know why) missing subtitle wich allow to understand better what you say because some words speaks seem similar to my ears but arent the same thing cheers & greetins from Italy
Comment from : Alessandro Concas

Brad, hope you tossed those stock FWC turnbuckles… BTW, the factory tie-downs on a PW are more than enough for a Hawk Ask me how I know 😎
Comment from : Don Leamon

Nates spot on with the reliability comment So many things I was worried about when buying my Jeep when it came to reliability and I've owned it for over a year and a half and had absolutely zero problems with it so far And that's just it As the years go on it's hard to say that reliability hasn't begun to equalize between the manufacturers A good friend of mine sold his Toyota Tacoma because of just how many problems he had with it, and the I turn around and another friend is super pleased with his Toyotas reliability It's just not as simple as Toyotas are more reliable than Jeeps or vica versa And I think that's what is supported by many recent studies but perhaps I'm just mistaken
Comment from : Donovan Goodwin

For me as a weekend warrior my 2 door Jeep jk works so well for me And yes storage is challenging, but it's a thing that I get to work on and do exactly how I want For me the amount of aftermarket support it has, for the performance it has, I can't think of any other platform for me But I do lots of rock crawling(We go to Moab more than once every six months) and wheeling Camping is in many ways the secondary part of my experience I ground camp and pack a simple cooler for food But that's just the spectrum of Off-Roading for you Are you only wheeling? Are you going on extended trips? Are you young, don't care so much about comfort? Are you older and wanting more creature comforts? To answer the question, what's the best overland vehicle platform? Well that depends on your needs, who you are, and how much your willing to work on you vehicle to make it yours It's really that simple I think
Comment from : Donovan Goodwin

Love this conversation i have a 06 jeep commander i have the 37l v6 rwd its a 7 passengers but with it just being me and my wife i can throw the seats down or take them out and carry 1200lb with the seats in and 1500-1600lb with the seats out mpg 14 city 20 highway i can still tow 3500lb with the added weight but full tow and loaded maybe 7 mpg
Comment from : marleymellows

Thanks for this Looks like a great trip
Comment from : Jeepin with Julia

Brad, how do you like that Nemo Stargazer chair?
Comment from : Stan Ross

This is a helpful discussion My wife and I have been having the same one I’ve had nothing but wranglers for 10 years and love them I’m wanting a Gladiator But now that we have 2 kids under 2, and want a third, the Ram just seems to make more sense for the room

Comment from : rico macpherson

Good points , well said , that Tacoma looks sweet can’t wait to see what lift & tire/wheel combo he does to it
Comment from : Peter Homa

Love seeing you guys film together! Sounds like I'll be down in San Diego in September to pick up my bronco Would love to get a chance to say hi to you
Comment from : mark demieville

Great video! I love how you two sit and casually talk about stuff Thoughts on using say …a new Ford Ranger as an overlanding rig?
Comment from : David Bishop

Brad, Now you've got the nice overland vehicle Four Wheel Campers pop up!!!
Comment from : Steve Price

Great conversation! Go with what ya got and evolve My wife prefers having a house and eating everyday so I have a budget Right now I drive a T100 and I love it Do I wish I had a $60k vehicle with $20k in mods, sure I still have a great time though
Comment from : Andy Whipps

Good info Thx yall Enjoy the trip
Comment from : Jeff Combs

Just get some Nato jerry cans and secure them Highly doubtful they'll leak, they hold 5 gallons, and good durable steel I carry two in the back of my rig one on each side of my spare tire that I secure to the back of my bed so I have more bed space in my truck
Comment from : Mier DeVries

Again, as I've said on Dirt Lifestyle's channel, some of my two favorite Youtubers! And also, thank you on this topic! I just recently took my Mazda 3 out on a trail, albeit an easy trail, up to a point And with my buddy and my camping gear! Yes, I would love an overlander vehicle that has more capabilities, but at least I was able to get out there camping! It's all about what you can do with the vehicle and where you want to go, and do it! Thank you!
