Really appreciate the stock wheeling content. It’s really hard to film and wheel like that. What a cool trip.

I really enjoy this (mostly) stock content. It’s relatable. When I got my first 4x4, I put some skid plates on, and tried to follow some lifted Jeeps, while only having 31s on my truck.

That looks like a great adventure. It takes some balls to wheel a brand new vehicle 1200 miles from home in a foreign country. You got the first scratch out of the way. No you don’t have to worry about scratching it anymore

Honeymoon period is over for the Taco. All my new trucks only got 3 days. Before some dents or scratches from wheeling them. Thanks again, looked like an awesome trip.

Even though ima yota guy, Would love to see the new bronco go through this same adventure.

You hands down make the best videos! It’s amazing watching you build things in the shop then use them out on the trail!

That sidekick is kick ass. I learned my lesson years ago. Never wheel with parts store $50 CVs. Rebuilt OEM or upgraded CVs. I haven't broke one in about a decade. I cant wait to see what crazy fabrication you'll be doing to the taco!

Thanks for showing and telling people about aspects of Mexico that they may not encounter or consider in their western lifestyle. The "gas station" was the perfect illustration.

One of the first things we learned from desert wheeling is make sure you can see the vehicle behind you, if you lose sight of it radio ahead and wait for them to join back up . Safety first people can die out there. Love the video 🤙🏼

i think you are absolutely insane for taking it on that trail

Very cool. I drove 3,000 miles from the SF Bay Area to Baja and back in November with my girlfriend. Spent three weeks down there sleeping in the roof top tent of my home made camper trailer. Hit some pretty remote areas. Total awesomeness.

I know how hard being standby all the time during a trip capturing best of it and putting together. Thanks for bringing this adventure to us from the heart of off-road community event. Huge respect for your work.

I won’t be able to do that or buy a truck to adventure like you but it feels real to watch your journey and to experience it virtually.

Man, I don't know how you stay so calm all the time. You're CLEARLY operating on a higher plane than most of the rest of us.

So Ive been binge watching these videos and the soundtracks kick butt. Good to see the Tacoma halfway keep up

Bro, this video of BAJA in a stock TACOMA was Epic and arguably your best work thus far. The cohesiveness, comoladarie; teamwork, adventure and the breathtaking sceneries did it for me. Your video editing skills (particularly on this video) is undeniably the best in the 4x4 TOYOTA KZfaq that I have seen - its almost cinematic. I watch lots of your tutorials too but this one, to me was the best. You managed to capture and exude a side of Mexico that we Americans don't know of - we only hear about the Cartels and Poverty and Illegals but never thought it would be a place for adventurous excursions. Thanks for the Delivery brother 🙏

Well done! Tough trip for sure and much appreciated you filming the way you did! Also, mighty good statement about not separating a group like that, especially out in Mexico. Bad stuff can happen. Glad everyone was alright! Thank again for awesome video!

Once again, this is a great wheeling video break-off from your normal in shop, you do this really well, blending the two together, great stuff here y'all, just awesome.

I've found two awesome channels that I'm surprised I've never seen before seeing as I've been watching so much toyota content for years now.. I'm glad to see how the 2021 holds up stock as I'm looking at grabbing this truck soon. Thanks for making awesome content! The first video I watched of yours was the video about all the issues you've been dealing with i like your level headed and concise complaints shows your knowledge base.

Another incredible production and the sounds thru the head phones you got the music on point.... Great job its much appreciated!!!

That sidekick is my dream rig 😍😍

Nate the production of these videos are simply amazing and I really appreciate the thought you put into your content!

21:15 Ah... that moment when you realize a Suzuki Sidekick just out-crawled you and the built Jeeps... ;-) That thing did really well!

A front locker changes everything.

Strong work with the español 👌🏽 Laguna salada is right by my home town. That’s where my off-roading days started. Hope you enjoyed the desert, rocks and the food. Thanks for sharing

I Just bought a 2021 Tacoma DCSB TRD off road 4x4 with the Tech & premium pkg and crawl control has saved me 3X already here in the Arizona desert , where rear locker was on truck would not make it up few steep deep rutted out hills but crawl control made it with ease . Just remember crawl control will not work if you have your locker on the whole purpose of crawl is each wheel is free to get torque when mostly needed for traction, I’m really impressed with this new Tacoma I will definitely keep it for many many years . I give it up to you man I couldn’t do that to my brand new truck , awesome video though , keep em coming 👍🏻

I like the stock wheeling videos I learned when I had my fj cruiser with 285s and bilsteins to level it out there was very little a stock truck with careful planning can’t do

Haven't watched in a long time. I'm not a fan of rigs sitting on 37s and such. However, in my opinion, this was the BEST video you've but out in awhile. I had a blast watching!

i'm sure you know this, but for the guy with the broken front shaft... using your winch rope as a tow strap is extremely hard on the winch brake. good way to destroy your winch.

Thanks for putting the Tacoma through its paces before the build - looking forward to how you build the truck after your experience.

Wow what a trip. Short but looks like loads of fun. Cool to see a Michigan plate in the group

These are the videos that I love to see. I Drive a 2019 ZR2 and I love to push it to the limits seeing what it can and cant do.

Ever been lighting fireworks and watched as a fuse burns into an M-80, but it hasn’t exploded yet? Well, this is the moment that you, Nate, and the Dirt Lifestyle social media conglomerate, appear to be at. This is good stuff, here.

Awesome video Nate! This channel is gonna blow up, I just know it! 👍

Finally off road hard great video and footage

Man im a huge fan of this channel and to know that you guys came all the way down here gives me more interest on overlanding! is because people like you that im started fitting my 02 Explorer ( i know is not the best overlaning vehicle) but is been serving well for the family to take us places. Greetings from Rosarito, Baja!!

Nice to reminisce, Baja was a lot of fun. You had a lot of grit to put the stock Toyota trough those obstacles!

That looked like a blast!! Great video Nate!! Top filmography!! 💯❤️🐞

That XL-7 is a beast!

Awesome adventure! Thanks for taking us along with you!

Love the Sidekick, that thing is sick! I hope my XL7 will look as good as that rig one day...

It is amazing to see what a good stock vehicle can do.

Awesome. What can I say. Taking your Yoda off trail. It's like the time when I bought my 03 silverado 4x4 and took it off road after about a month of ownership. I cut wood for my wife's niece house every year since. I put a few dents and scratches on it. My wife was pretty upset. I just said. We bought it for hauling and hunting and such. It's not going to be a mall- crawler with fancy wheels. Then we got spray liner in the bed. Best investment I ever made. Still has stock tires. But bent them. So I invested in aluminum rims. Still ticking at 348 ,000 miles on the same trans. I am hooked on your channel watching. This is cool. I love going off road. Im 66 yrs older. I have a 2000 disco also. Working on my 68 GMC this summer.

This video was next level! Amazing job Nate, you've come a long way with this youtube stuff. This needs wayyyy more likes, come on people run this up.

He'll yeah now that's what you call off-roading that stock Taco did pretty good

Feels really cool that you guys went to explore Baja and are bringing more eyes to Baja ! ❤️

I bet that 4Runner wasn’t actually breaking CV’s, but most likely over drooping the suspension and popping them out. Toyotas have very tight tolerances for what they will allow and should be testing for binding with any new suspension upgrade. Great video 👍🏻

Great video! love your stuff man!

Awesome video. Always amazing to see people helping others. 👍

Gonna say this.. Ive been doling busy wed since the 80's. Your video was the most realistic ive ever seen. Thank you for your video. Ive subscribed and followed. Cheers

Great video, Nate. Thanks for putting it together.

Super great video, very impressed with the filming.

Amazing vid Nate, that looks like an EPIC adventure!!!! Let us know what you found out on the Tacoma

Helluva lot of fun. We take stock trucks out on the tracks and absolutely blow the owners minds how capable the trucks are. Good thing we get video of it to look back on. Looking forward to this truck build. 👍

Great video as always, that sidekick is a cool build. But Chris was going to show us the proper way to make a PB&J. 🤭 keep up the good work.

I have never seriously considered a guided off road adventure (for many reasons) but this looks awesome!! Love to see "sidechick" on the trails!

Congratulations! You're an international overlander, haha. Great video! Sometimes I wonder if all the mods are necessary - The stock truck videos are educational!

As a fellow 2021 Tacoma owner, my heart sank when you showed that body damage 😭 😢 😭

Thank you Nate, that was a fantastic video. Thoroughly enjoyable!

I love that Suzuki. What a beast

Nate your filming and editing skills are awesome. Your footage is always well done and so much fun to follow along!

Love the stock wheeling content and the channel. Do you remember using mts rock mode with the locker during that rocky bit in the beginning? That was alotta wheel slip

I’m rewatching this because I can’t wait to see the videos of you getting the parts in to start building it.

Greetings from Tijuana, have been following your videos for a while, great content, congrats. Just one observation: It’s not that bad as they say over here as every were if you mind your own business. Your welcome anytime, hope to see you back ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

I thought I saw a bunch of MileStar Tires on this trip; then I hear "Martin from Milestar Tires" with y'all and working hard! Getting ready for my 2nd set - naturally, bigger this time. Great video, great adventure. I haven't been in Mexico since 1972 for the same reasons you described. TJ is only 25 miles south! Thanks for taking us along.

I agree with the front locker. You should definitely make that a priority before the tacoma gets crazy.

Just bought a 2018 TRD Off Road, keep it up.

The SIDECHICK is an awesome build!

Great video! Now we have our next trip picked out. Can’t wait to see what you do with that stock Toyota.

Great video again Nate !! Looked like such a fun trip . I see a lot of suspension changes coming to your Toyota in the near future . Until next time be safe and take care sir .

As a 26 year old trying to get into the offroad world, this kind of stuff is what I love seeing. Goes to show that you can still have a ton of fun with a stock truck. I've got my 2000 silverado (big full size truck, I know) but I'm looking forward to someday being able to go out and do stuff like this. Texas needs to open up more offroad parks lol

That LED grille light hanging on to dear life behind the grille @5:58 lol

Well done sir, looked like fun. Nate you have made like one or two payments on the taco and already putting body damage on it.

Love it!! I would like to try my Ranger Raptor on those rocks. Fantastic video!!!!

That sidekick is very cool!!!!! :D

Awesome video brother! I'm really digging the way your putting these together! I'm very new to "real off-roading" but I got myself a 93' 4runner and I live in Central Washington, so maybe we can hit a trail together someday.

I agree with you. Taco needs some upgrades. Kool trip 👍

What a trip! Are you going to do it again in a few years with a built Toyota? The gallon milk jugs were interesting. They are made of the same HDPE plastic that gas cans are made of, it's just not red. I wouldn't want to store a bunch of fuel in my garage in gallon milk jugs, however. I guess you use what you got.

your vids are certainly cable T.V quality , keep up the great content sir 👍

The SOUND of something BREAKING, can be more dramatic; then seeing something go wrong.

Nate, just finished watching the video on my 75” LG with surround sound. Awesome!!! Excellent video!! Keep it up!!👍🤓

Your reaction to gas in milk gallons was funny AF did you fill up on 2% or almond gas ⛽for the organic yota🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This looks like a killer trail system for the Land Rover

Thanks Nate for putting this video together!

I saw you with Brad over at Trail Recon, I like your channel so I am a new follower to it.

Awesome video and really appreciate the work put into it. I have a 17’ Tacoma Off Road stock and wanted to know how capable it could be before doing a bunch of mods. Happy to see these kinds of stock Tacoma videos👍

This is better than ultimate adventures videos. thanks Nate

ahhh the video I was truly waiting for.

Super nice video!!! Awesome place and scenery

What an adventure! This is awesome great video! Can't wait to see the build 😊

ifs is the number one problem but as most toyos have long travel setups its all upgradable. ofc lockers front and rear as option is a saving grace but in ur case clearance tends to b an issue aswell as travel

That little tracker gets around 😁

Great adventure and to show us what our tacomas are capable of

Another great video Nate! Hate that you got the cab, but hey it happens. Serious question for you now. After you have the front locker, sway bar disconnect, suspension mods and 35’s on it will you do a return trip for a comparison run? It would be interesting to see just how much difference all of the mods made going back over the same terrain, you already know which rock to avoid so you have that going for you. Dan.

I meant to just skim through and wound up watching and enjoying all of it, thank you!

I love my 95 tacoma, but don't usually hit jeep rock trails. Want to build a crawler eventually. My truck just has a modest mid lift all the way around, rock kickers, etc. Most of my offroading is Ocotillo Wells, Gordon's Wells, Buttercup, superstition, and Glamis sometimes.

That little sidekick is bad ass

NATE YOU ROCK MAN GRATE VIDEO BROTHER LOVE IT ALL !!!

love it, Welcome to Baja, any time you want to come back. you did the most bad road for us when we race Baja on are class 11,thats it Cordillera Molina to Heroes ( you need to try to do Summit Noth to South on yout Jeep or your Disco) i hope on the furute you can join us on Baja racing ot chasing are class 11. we have a lot of 4x4 section, but we need to deal with are vw stock bug :) .

Another great video! I'm really enjoying watching you push the stock Taco. I have a Toyota, but watching an IFS Yota try to rock crawl is just painful, LOL.
