  1. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Webb says:

    Why drive old trucks: because half of the adventure in getting places, is wondering if you actually will.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Human says:

    When your engine gets so hot you should keep driving with the windows open and the heater full blast if it isn’t to hot outside. If it’s hot outside than you should take breaks.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Will Middlebrooks says:

    Reminds me of my monthly drive over the Cascades on Hwy 20 in WA. 82 Diesel Rabbit Pickup would crawl 35-40 in the shoulder on the way up. All 52 horses lugging up the mountain. There's a certain flow state you settle into when you're moving slow, immersed in your surroundings and hyper-aware of all your rig's mechanical idiosyncrasies.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Lee says:

    I live about 15 minutes away from the Land Cruiser museum and tomorrow morning I’ll be visiting for the first time. Thank you for making videos that inspire me to 1) get out and see the multitude of sights around me and 2) reignite my passion for my passions.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars s 9 says:

    Baja, Baja, Baja!!

    I bought my '89 fj62 from a kid in Montana and it had an Overland Cruisers sticker on it. I emailed them on an off chance they could give me some info on it and they sent back an entire history of my truck. Great respect for their work. My FJ is partly a symbol of not buying into the idea that cars are a service that you are beholden to the corporations for. It's mine free and clear. Nobody is going to turn off part of my car because I quit paying them. If it breaks, everything you need to fix it – parts, knowledge, help – is out there for you. Sure, it's work to keep it running well, but it's rewarding to me. And, damn, it's got great lines!

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Althaus says:

    Loved being along for the ride on this road trip. Can't wait to see the Land Cruiser again when it's got a new engine.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Galen Anderson says:

    FJ62 owner since 1994, added an FJ80 in 2017. Something about them resonate with me. Good thing I live where I don't need speed. Great story, I get it.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Djan Fo says:

    I drive a 1986 Land Rover Defender with an old 2.5 naturally aspirated diesel. I'm replacing the engine next week. Going this slow gives me headache and stress

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rafa Gomez says:

    Proud fj80 owner. Masterpiece if a video

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Borash says:

    You’re not still in Bozeman are you? I live here and as I have drawn inspiration from you, leaning in to my craftsmanship and spirited man nature, it has been truly enjoyable to apply your life perspective in some ways to my own. If you are still here, I would be honored to share a conversation with you!
