Ultimate Adventure has been a bucket list trip for me for almost 2 decades. In today's video we will take our Toyota Tacoma on Ultimate Adventure 2022 and see how our little 2021 taco can handle a few days of real trail abuse. We broke stuff, we made friends and had an amazing adventure because ‪@onXOffroad‬ was willing to help me check this off of the bucket list! So, thank you OnX and thank you folks for watching!

We had 3 sidewall failures on a set of Pats on our XJ. Running the same trails in our JLUR with BFGs and LJ with Swampers has resulted in zero sidewall issues.

The amount of people that run the Pats is sad. I feel like youtube is to blame for their popularity. I run km3 and debeaded and the tire was completely folded over under the wheel. Once I was able to seat the bead, I gave it some air and it was like nothing happened. BFG for life.

I've heard many people praise how light they are, but that's because they're missing material compared to other heavier tires IMO. Another great video!

When you had the upper control arm nut and bolt come loose. Is there anyway of doing a double nut lock on the upper control arm. Say a slightly thinner nut first to hold it all together then a lock nut of some kind, like a nylon lock nut. So you can lock the two nuts together to try and stop the bolt and nut of the upper control arm from coming loose or worse loosing the nut and possibly the bolt of the upper control arm. You could make the front skid plate from stainless steel say 16 - 12 gauge or standered 18 gauge for strength and lightness it will be heavier than aluminium but lighter than standard steel. On your tyre's try going for a thicker ply tyre say for eg: 8ply to 12ply 12ply to 16ply. If I am getting this right that the thicker wall of the tyre is stiffer but also a bit more robust to splitting. They are my thoughts on some of the thing that came up after your trip, you may have a better idea than what I have. But most of all one wicked ride. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 From Philip Burrows in Overton on Dee, Wrexham, Wales, UK.

@DirtLifestyle Жыл бұрын

The double nut trick is an oldie but a goodie. And I'm still debating on how to proceed with the front skid. Tube can work as a great skid and shave weight but some thinner/higher tensile strength steel would be easy. 👍

Would be great to know more about where it’s coming from if you have any info on it!

I'm impressed the rack and front diff held up. More-so the diff, I think the rack was an upgrade from a Landcruiser if I remember correctly. Make sense that the front subframe wasn't up to the task. A little reinforcement for the rack mounting locations will help. Same thing you'd need to do with a frame mounted steering box. Having aftermarket front CV shafts is a huge plus on this truck. If those were stock shafts or joints I wouldn't have been surprised if you broke one. For that bolt that keeps backing out check into some distorted thread lock nuts. McMaster also has flex-top lock nuts. I've never used them though. Looks like the truck held up really well. Awesome job on the build.
