Happy Birthday! It's too bad you planned your trip too well not to have a celebrity cameo appearance of Matt! Good to see the Sequoia being bored and not breaking a sweat. I took mine 4000 miles to Florida and back with no issues. No opportunity for it to get dirty, but it did make it to the beach! Hope to make it to Pikes Peak later this year.

Hi guys. I am a new subscriber. I just found you while searching for Sequoia's and thought I need to look at a couple of more video's. So you want to learn to track. Keep doing what you are doing and you will. The ones I have watched so far have been fun and from a genuine view point. Referring to the article... Well everything is out there if you are will to pursue it. Life doesn't just knock on your door. You have to live it. Well done.

The east coast is notorious for being over regulated with limited places to camp for the night. That being said if they had time to make the trip they could’ve planned to head out west just a bit and they may have had a different outcome. I like the chill reviews

California and the extreme west coast of Oregon and Washington are the same: Private or heavily regulated public land. Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico are all much more open to lightly regulated public use. I have utilized those quite often.

There's a very old establishment here in Alberta called the overlanders lodge. It's a pretty expensive place to stay and has a very long history of lodging overlanders, like the real overlanders with wagons or trucks from the early 1900s. Its not really cheating. What's cheating is the roads in between destinations.

I’ve slept hundreds of nights in my 4runner. But I stay out west and Mexico. If you look toward the East coast there isn’t the massive public lands available in the west. His article was probably pretty accurate, then factor in a rental, luxury van and no 4x4 and the backroad options are even less. Vehicle travel isn’t for everyone and I’m always amused how many “vanlifers” consistently sleep in parking lots. If my travels consisted of sleeping in parking lots I would have quit long ago.

The biggest mistake is to believe that renting an expensive van provides a magic wand. At the end a vehicle is just a tool. Of course a good 4x4 van would bring much more creature comfort into an expedition-like multi-week trip, but a SUV or a truck with a canopy is more that enough to enjoy the nature for a few days. It is all about research and advance planning. Off topic: I'd be very curious to see how you guys operate with your bed having so tiny head space! :)
@TheFraziers 2 жыл бұрын
Totally agree! Honestly, we have decent headroom still. Even with the platform and bed set up like this, we can still pretty much sit up in bed and I (Dillon) only have to duck my head a little bit. The sequoia is very big and very tall.

With your lift suspension tires and rack. What are you getting MPGs on the highway out of curiosity. Mine is still bone stock and trying to keep the gas mileage as much as possible. Which I know is a joke cuz the gas mileage is not that good but I drive to California all the time from Washington State!

@@TheFraziers that's not too bad you for 33 inch tires. The best I ever got in my Sequoia mine's all stock was 19 MPGs. Even though the gauge was reading 21. I did the math and it was 19 but that's was 60 to 65 mph. Once I went 75 to 85 mph in California I was getting 15 MPGs

@@TheFraziers unfortunately I'm doing a motor swap right now. I will do it later video when I have everything together of what everything cost and why stuff went wrong. Mine's the 2002 limited. My first mod will be after the engine swap I think it's going to be ARB lockers on the rear. I tend to push it a little bit off-roading so. I broke my Nissan I broke Jeeps. So I've learned what I can get away without breaking so. I think the locker will save me from breaking the Sequoia.
@adventuretrails1ato 2 жыл бұрын
@@ricky_ricardo I got the Sequoia for it being known for some okay off road capability and lots of space. Ultimately I'd want to four wheel drive van but I don't have 20 or $30,000 to get one that's set up. Also the gas mileage on those vans is not too good. So Sequoia is the closest thing to a four wheel drive van with the most amount of space. That's the way I look at it!

No, but there’s often forest land and wildlife recreation areas. They also often allow free camping. The point also wasn’t that the east has tons of free camping. The point is that driving from one big east coast city to another is not a great plan if you intend to enjoy scenic natural beauty.

There is No literally almost no blm land or free camping land in my area and if you do park anywhere remotely private expect a visit from the police... You have to go way up to Maine way up in VT or way up in NY and you might get lucky .. anywhere from Virginia up to mass forget about maybe you can get away with it in Virginia in parts nothing like outwest it's compacted city after city
