More crawlers please!

I usually get stuck at work, Monday thru Friday.

Keep interviewing the crawler guys and soon enough you guys will be hooked and making one of your own.

You guys would probably be good friends with Matts Off-road Recovery here on YT.

Stuck story - when I was younger, a buddy and I took a SxS out to the Utah desert. About an hour in I drove onto what looked like a dry cracked lake bed, as soon as I went down a hill and got on the lake bed I felt the tires starting to slip so it was obvious that only the top was dry. I should’ve stopped right there, but I had some momentum so I gassed it which worked for a little while, eventually the clay/mud/snot got deeper and the tires got packed and we sank to the doors. This is where it got ridiculous. My buddy and I were around 7 miles from where I parked my truck so we spent hours trying to dig out by hand and with old bush branches. When that didn’t get us anywhere we decided to walk to the truck, not fun. Get to the truck, go to Wally-world to buy a tow strap, get back and get the truck stuck about 60 yards from the SxS - by the grace of god after a few hours of digging we get the truck out as it wasn’t in as deep of mud. Back to Wally World to buy more tow straps to pull from further away, but by the time we get back it’s dark, pitch black dark, we drive around the desert until about 3am and can’t find the damn SxS, exhausted we call it a night. The next day we drive back in the worst rainstorm of the year and we get to the SxS but the lake bed now had about 6-8” of water as the mud/clay/snot wasn’t absorbing it. We go home again. Day three we come back with gravel, shovels, and two big 6x8’ plywood sheets. 8 hours of digging, and moving the SxS from one plywood sheet to the next to get it off of the lakebed we are free. Needless to say I won’t drive on lake beds again, and I have a reliable winch and recovery gear with me all the time.

Super cool to see you covering 4x4's built for everything. I'm in snow country so 2 wheel drive, although cool, has no place here!

I’m 18 now and I bought a 1996 4x4 Chevy s10 with the 4.3l v6 and the 4l60e. I bought the truck for $500 and I’m still driving it now with some issues that I’ve fixed along the way. When I bought the truck it was on a 2in body lift on 32’s and the keys were cranked all the way up with no diff drop or anything besides 1in spacers in the front. Even though it’s my daily I do wheel it quite a lot and I usually go with my buddies and one of my buddies has a 1990 4x4 Toyota pickup that we named tab pole and it has the 5 speed and the 22re and it’s pretty rotted and we’ve put a wooden flat bed and a PVC snorkel on it in two nights and I don’t beat my truck because I’m the rescue vehicle which is why we ended up naming it the (RESCUE 10) and my buddy will go and sink the Toyota in all kinds of holes with my other buddies on the back of the flat bed and when he got stuck I would rescue him. On one trip I had went out with myself and my two buddies and one brought his pit bike and we were cruzing around exploring and I accidentally went in a hole that was a little deep and broke two of my fan blades and luckily I was able to drive out of the hole in 4 lo and later my buddy in the Toyota pickup came along with us after cranking the keys and putting pretty bald 35’s on it we went to a spot he got stuck in on another trip with 31’s so he could redeem himself and he went through a hole that was really deep and the motor sucked in water and bogged down because my buddy didn’t seal the air box to the snorkel well enough. So we hooked up my truck the (RESCUE 10) and we tried for 2 hours at all different angles to pull him out but the issue was he made it through the first hole but sunk in the second so I had no room to really yank him out with the kinetic rope and he was suctioned in the mud so I had to drive all the way back to my grandfathers house to get a come along and shovels because we didn’t have a winch on either vehicle and then all the way back out to where he was stuck and my buddies had used ratchet straps to release the suction from the mud and we decided to try and yank him out again and after 5 tries I finally yanked him out, luckily without ripping the frame in half. The fun wasn’t over because I had to flat tow him through several holes and across ruts to get back to the sand road and after that I flat towed him 3 miles on the sand road and while I was pulling him he was clutch starting it and the little 22re finally came to life and this whole thing took 7 hours, a couple broken straps, and a lot of gas and I don’t regret a second of it. It was some of the most fun I’ve ever had. My father was really pissed that I came home at 3am but I’m sure he was happy that I was wheeling not drinking.

Living close to johnson Valley its essential to have at least a gallon of water and an emergency meal in the vehicle at all times, even for running to the store, and if your stuck at night start a fire and someone will find you.

Building an 84 4runner. Glad I found a video showing the Toyota dual cases and 40’s. I’m running duals and 35’s and I’ve been iffy on keeping them.

Love the crawler video!! Keep them coming!!

Branden is so good at explaining all the different aspects of a crawler build. This is a good video for not just people getting into crawler Toyota guys but all Jeeps and 4wheelers.

Arcadia off-road for the WIN!!! Good job guys

I remember seeing these guys at tds a couple years back at the waterfalls killing ! Ever since i fell in love and now i want to build one of my own👍🏻

Them some awesome Tacos. I met Branden a couple years ago too, nice guy.

Love a well built yota! Great video man, thanks for keeping it humble. Awesome channel

Love that you get all the desert trucks prerunners and crawlers diggin the vibe keep it up

Loving all the rock crawler videos!!

This was insane...awesome video and content. Show us more this motivated to buying a 90's taco....great job Terra...💯😎🤙

Love love love these builds!!!

This such a cool change up, I loved it!

Awsome truck love when you guys show toyotas!

Hell yeah! Been dying to see these episodes

This thing is dope! Thanks for showing this guy's truck.

this was really informative, thanks!

More of these guys!!!!! Super rad

Love to see yall branch out this is my kinda stuff but been watchin yalls vids for long time

Haha these edits are in point. The door falling off with the lambo merci cut 🤣

I would love to go on a rock crawling trip with these Taco’s. I myself have a SAS 01 Taco too. Nice work!

Love the feature!!! So sic

"Is this some sort of gang?" 🤣

Got stuck in a washout off the trail letting a prerunner about 20 minutes after finding out I was going to be a father after both of us digging out the the chassis a nice couple on quad tried to give us a yank. No luck. 30 minutes later another awesome couple with a built jeep came by and yanked us out definitely a trip neither of us will ever forget. Good ole knarstow!!!

Dooope builds love the do all rigs

Stuck story from the UK Went out to recover some lads, stuck and flat tyres. Got there and recovered them and got them out only to get myself badly stuck in the mud. Chassis hung up, pulling tree out with the winch, battery dying all the power in the cab going dim thought it was me for the night till I finally found a strong enough tree to get my self free. What there for 4 hours in darkness. Got back home to find the winch died.

Like the Rock crawler. I have a Jeep YJ crawler. 14" travel front and rear. But no jumping. Slow and steady. The Bronco is for fast and jumping. Like the variety of builds you are showing.👍

Love your passion

Dude those are bad ass!!I have a 04 4 door I'm sasing mine next week

hell ya!!! lets get some more videos like these.

20 mile hike out, in the PNW. Snow and rain. Almost frozen, 3/4 ton chevy. All night sleeped in the truck then 13 miles on foot before we seen anyone. Then another 8 miles in the back of a truck freezing to the pay phone... lol

My friends and I took a 2001 mustang convertible on woods trails and got stuck on a huge hill. We strapped a log to the back driver side tire and floored it. Crazy, but worked.

Can't fhcking wait for part 2

Cool trucks, I've had a 02 since new. Bone stock n by far the best vehicle I've ever owned.

Sick Taco's!

Cool rigs! You guys should hunt down some bronco owners to show off their rigs in honor of the new 2021

Shoutout to Erick and Frank from Primo Motorsports. Awesome guys built my entire truck. Super knowledgable and skilled.

JAMES HOLGUIN. Look up a race called "KING OF THE HAMMERS" its like a Baja rock crawl race, it's got the best of both world's. Thank you for starting to show more of this content, I feel like we get over looked. But when really we all have a passion for dirt. All my boys drive prerunnners but when dune season is over, it's my turn to be the driver lol. Thanks for always posting awesome content, love the channel!! And the hair 👌💪👊

Awesome Truck, I need to do this to my WK. A vehicle that can do anything.

Saw these trucks a few weeks ago at glamis! Made me miss me old taco.

More rigs like these? Great builds.

wow that 4 door is amazing

Been waiting all day get off work to watch this I i wish y'all could come to Hesperia to check out my rock crawler

2000 4Runner clipped the bottom of the radiator. It flexed and popped the lower tank. Flash light died quickly so it was just moonlight. Pulled the radiator and some rtv, a flat head screw driver and a rock rebuilt the radiator. I finally made it home at 5 in the morning.

Those are sick. I got some sh,t building now. Hope to see you guys out one day.

Soo Nice 👌🏼🔥🔥🔥

So sick. I wish I could fit into small trucks. I love them

Hell ya man awesome video

LOL@buying the trucks and shop sober. 🤣🤣

A land anchor is great to have when your stuck. It’s awesome when there’s nothing to hook a winch to

I was once driving in the dry lake bed doing like 5-10 miles trying to just take it easy and ran over dry mud but it was wet under it and got stuck all the way down to the pumpkin. had to walks 2 miles till i found the nearest random dude to pull me out. found a dodge and the dude was supper cool

start to do? 1st Gen Tacoma's huge in the offroad community

Damn that’s one bad 🌮!!

I was bombing through a small mud hole in my bone stock xj, had it in 2wd to do some slides through it and hit a super soft spot and sunk a little, threw her in 4wd and the thing just sunk to the bottom of the door sills all the way around. was waiting for a buddy to yank me out for 3 hours, while trying to dig myself out a bit. fun times

More crawlers please 👍

So i had my fiance conveniently sub your channel. I just dont understand why you guys are not at half a million subs by now. Thanks for all your videos. I even watch some more than once and always until the end.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!

Taco life 😋 Cleetus life!!

You should come and check out the rock crawling science out here in Reno Nevada if your going to continue covering crawlers. Love that your covering crawlers too by the way

Hell yeah 🤘🤘🤘

We’re you and hunter compas with Rudy from high core? I remember seeing him roll around with some SAS tacos like yours ...the cool thing is they were all silver too lol. Might be confusing you guys but nice trucks!!!

So my best broken story would be with the red truck that's my profile pic (idk how to change it honestly) decided to drive up a mountain at 6pm when 16 in shorts and a t-shirt with no phone, got to the top shut the truck off and walked around admiring the sights but turns out the ECU power wire broke off the terminal and the only way the truck was running before was from arcing the current, so I'm at the top of a 14er no phone and a dead truck as the sun's going down since it's 7pm, I spent the night in the truck in shorts and a t-shirt while it was snowing on this mountain 40F, I have never been so happy to see the sun come up since then and it's been a huge learning lesson in my wheeling experience

That's a sweet Yota

If you guys are up north Cali I got a turbo first gen on 40s custom 3 link u should do a walk around on

I love them tacos...

I actually got stuck out on a trail by myself in my Jeep Cherokee I was luckily about to get out after jamming a large branch into my tire and used it as a max track 😂😂

can you guys do an episode explaining deaver kits

Crawl boxes are for control but more importantly traction.

Two of my friends took their stock 1500 offroading late at night and ended up high centering on a log. They ended up having to stay the night until I woke up to a bunch of missed calls and had to rescue them in my jeep in the morning. They were not prepared to stay the night and had to sleep without heat for the night in January in New Jersey. Moral of the story, don't try to send it over a log with 1/4 tank of gas late at night in a stock truck without someone to help when you get stuck!!

The real question is, what tire shine is he using? 🤔

The front axles out of a 3500 1 ton

I ended up having 3 turbo Subaru wagons at one point lol you don't get to choose the color when you buy used cars.

Marlin Crawlers.

Matrix recovery ladders are a must

I love this YOTA.. noice...

I’d love to see one being built.

was out in my first gen tacoma and my lower ball joint bolts failed had to drive it out on 3 wheels i have videos of us dragging it trough the woods if you want. Got real lucky they failed were they did if it would have happened 15 minutes earlier when i was on the highway or when i was hitting some whoops at 40 the truck would have been mangled and so would i.

*mid 80s *3500 Chevrolet OEM 35 spline inner w/ 30 spline outer

“What are these guys right here”. Points at Compressors....lol

FUCK YES MORE CRAWLERS

The dislikes are mopar boys who are mad they aren’t the only capable vehicle on the trail

I took my 2001 toyota tundra 2wd out to stoddard wells, was heading back to the main trail and drove through a dry river bed like a dumbass. Truck get stuck of course. Had no shovels or tools, was digging the tires out with my hand, threw a traffic cone underneath the tire to try to get traction, nothing.. Had to walk 5 miles in the freezing desert at night to get cell service then had to wait 2 hours to get picked up. All I had was a thin cheap hoodie, couldnt get a fire started for the life of me.. Definitely was a huge eye opener, I never go offroading with one vehicle anymore, I always keep emergency supplies as well, along with flares and fire starters.

LMAO!!!😆 "so with the big tires you'd want a 40 spline?!?

Took my 98 Cherokee 25 miles into a dirt road died on me right on the edge of a switch back. Ended up being a lock out overdrive fuse that I couldn’t see. took over two days to get my Jeep out of there if you want I can send you guys pictures and the full story on Instagram but it was a nightmare we had people lose there shit on us multiple times. We towed it out with a Lexus Gx but and over a single lane dirt road. Gained about 3,000 ft 😂 didn’t have power steering or brakes.

🤘

How much does a build like that cost? I have a 2000 frontier 4x4 ifs and I've been wanting to do a fas but I would like to know a rough estimate, also because there's not many fas frontiers. Thanks!

i’d like to see more tacoma’s or some jeep comanches would be cool too! keep it up

Can I off road with like a after market UCA and 2.5 oem king shock ? Or do I have to upgrade everything

all i can find are videos of people talking about their truck and i just want to see them actually going

Does this mean Rock Crawling merch in the future?

I need your link geometry, been fighting it for a few weeks, either I can have caster change 2.5 degrees through full travel, with 53% antisquat, or get 97% an my caster change 4.8 degrees. You think 4.8 degrees will effect streetable driving?

Hmm wondered where Arcadia Offroad is... Arcadia Ca 😡😂 Question: I was admiring that thumbnail. Track bar and drag link.. What's the CORRECT way to set those up? 1) make them parallel? 2) male them same length? 3) same length AND parallel? Thanks guys.

Hey I woke up this morning and I was stowked and it was hanging
