Went down to Arizona and hit Smasher Canyon with Wheeling Full-size. We had a fantastic time and really worked to get through the trail. In the end, the trail lives up to its’ name and we both left with body damage.
This was my first real outing using the Eaton e-locker and it performed flawlessly. There was numerous occasions where the weight distribution was off enough but were a non issue having the rear locked.
The biggest opportunity for the truck on this trip was the approach angle, which I’ve known for some time. The front bumper took a lot of abuse but not surprising. I’ll be working on fabricating both a front and rear bumper for the truck next so you’ll probably see changes to come for the next video.

And the award for My Nuts are Made of Tungsten Unobtanium goes to... A very brave full size Tundra wheeler! I'm more kitted up for pre-running, but much respect for guys running their trucks through the rocks and making it look easy! 👍

Excellent video! People do tons of videos with walk-around's of cool Tundra builds, but very few with decent actual offroading. I am always hesitant to go to some places due to the size of the Tundra. Thanks for showcasing the capabilities of this platform.

That's some crazy off-roading in a nearly stock Tundra

Nearly stock……. Except for tires, wheels, lift kit, rear locker, sliders………… nothing “nearly stock.” I wish I was here a year ago to tell to that.

@carsenrichards8205 2 ай бұрын

⁠@@overlandbyday1130compared to most finished up overland rigs this is considered barebones. Missing bumpers, winch, regear, bigger tires, beadlocks, more skids, extra lights. Most trucks, especially Toyotas, will end up with a lift, wheels and tires. Sliders and lockers are the only off-road specific mods this truck has that sets it apart from any other I see multiple of daily. Not to mention it looks like he’s on 20’s and the “lift” is more like a level. No cosmetic mods, limited suspension mods, limited performance mods. Sounds pretty stock to me.

⁠@@carsenrichards8205all the bs you mentioned is not really needed for most off roaders. Most people who have them don’t even use them. He is more than equipped for off road

@carsenrichards8205 29 күн бұрын

@@Trd2020 This isn’t about what’s needed or what other people do or don’t use. I never said he wasn’t equipped for off-roading. Most vehicles nowadays are capable enough right off the lot. That doesn’t change the fact that he is nearly stock and has hardly touched the surface in potential off-road modifications. A raptor comes off the lot with over half the mods I listed and technically still “stock”

Yeah the bumpers are next for sure. I had originally intended to already have bumpers for this trip but the month leading up to this I ran out of time to fab some so I ran the stock ones and sure enough they got in the way pretty bad.

@oversizedoverlanding2365 2 жыл бұрын

awesome video dude thanks for sharing. since you installed the eaton locker have you experienced any disengagement while shifting to reverse? supposedly this locker does this which seems like it could be an annoyance.

@beehivetundra 2 жыл бұрын

None that I noticed. And I did have to back up and reposition and number of times on the trail and never experienced any loss of traction or disengagement. While it could have happened, it wasn’t disengaged long enough to notice or be an issue.

Whatcha supposed to do if you break something out there like ur rear diff or bust a while in your Trans?

@beehivetundra 10 ай бұрын

I’ve got skid plates protecting the oil pan, transfer case and transmission, so busting a hole in that is very unlikely. But if it did happen then I’ll just have to get towed out. If I destroy a rear differential I can still drive out in 4x4 using just the front differential, this already to me once before with my 4Runner and that’s how I got home. Other than that, I carry spare CV axles since those are more likely to break.
