Thanks! Fish lake area is a great spot to break in the GX! Lots of scenic, easy trails.

Sounds great!

Thanks! Gear has been relatively the same for about a year (just working hard on technique), and I'm trying to color grade correctly, that's the big change. Thanks for noticing, it means a ton!

No, this is National Forest land, about 40 miles or so west of the national park.

Forgotten Waypoints thanks. In my to-do list! Once these Covid-19 restrictions abate. Spring time I hope; getting ready for a long trip out West (from Atlanta) to enjoy my just purchased 2020 JGC Trailhawk. I enjoy your videos tremendously. Merry Christmas to you and yours and many, many happy off-road trails.

I like trying them all. I've had jeeps, Hummers, and various Land Rovers, it just seemed time to try Toyota.

With experience, a stock 4runner and 100 can handle a 4. As a beginner, I'd start with 3 and under. Roads like this are super easy and even crossover friendly if you avoid taking the option route. I really need to do a vid on trail ratings.

@@ForgottenWaypoints Yes, I'd love to see a video like that. I've subscribed to your channel.

So many great places to go and explore in a stock rig don't worry at all about mods if you are just getting started. What is important is sleeping well and eating well when out for a few days. I started with a stock Xterra and took it many places and had a great time. I mean it was all new to me. After a few years I upgraded the tires to a "Rugged Terrain" passenger tire and that got me a little farther. Years after that when I was consistently caring more weight and on rougher trails (White Rim in Canyonlands NP) that it became apparent that the old suspension was being used to it's fullest and the P rated tires were a liability. It took about 6 years to get to a point when I actually felt I needed anything other than stock. Choose the trails that are right for what you have and and enjoy the adventure. First "mod" for me was caring an air compressor and tire repair kit.

@@andrewfoto Thanks for the feedback! Sleeping and eating well are the least of my concerns. I'm an avid backpacker and car/campground camper, so sleeping in a tent (and eating nearby) are things I can do already. Retirement is less than 10 years away for me, so I'm looking for something new to do before and during retirement. My plan is to buy a used 4Runner or Land Cruiser and use it as my learning rig. If I like overlanding, and eventually feel like I've outgrown that rig, then I'll upgrade to something newer and/or more capable. Just getting ready to dip my toe into this new adventure for now....

@@sgoldste02 You are a step ahead from most who are starting out. Both of those rigs will take you to many great places.

No, the icons are faux beadlocks. I'm not sure I like them as they snag rocks (the beadlock ring that is, the rest of the rim looks great).

No, it’s the name of the mountain range too. I assumed it was Native American, but I’m not sure. I’ve received a book on the plateaus in the area, I’ll have a look and repost if I discover something

@ForgottenWaypoints In part 1 of my video about driving to the Twin Crater Lakes I asked if anyone knew where the name "Mytoge" came from. I received a comment that it mean "Moon". The commentor referenced a book titled "Utah Place Names" published in 1990. The origin was Native American but it was unknown which specfic group it was.

@@cactushill, good find. When I get some time, I'm going to dig into it some more.

This isn't a secret dude. Calm down.

Most people aren’t going to do this. Only off road enthusiasts and there’s PLENTY of off roading like EVERYWHERE in Utah. There’s room for everyone.

This looks like a super fun trail. Love those views. Let’s meet up next summer to run it together.
