I've made a bunch of 4wheelin videos as well as vids related to my job as a teacher, and of course our kids. My entire motivation for making videos; the massive amounts of time in editing, setting up the multiple camera angles on the truck, flying the drone, etc., is to capture my own special...

Yes I've been to Big falls. The turn off for the bf trail head is separate from the road to the condor lookout. You wouldn't pass the lookout to get to bf. Yes there are water crossings, a few. Not sure how they are after a big rain. I made it out to bf several times in a 2wd truck. Lots of...

You download/cache GAIA maps when you have wifi. Then when you get out in the field, your tablet's GPS will position you on the Gaia maps you previously downloaded. This is why choosing a tablet that has GPS is crucial.

Los Padres National Forest, which includes one of the most scenic drives in the world through hwy. 1 Big Sur. Search up Prewitt Ridge and Coast Ridge Rd. Be sure to see if hwy. 1 has closures, it wouldn't hurt to check the NF website also. Many nice spots to be had

heads up, ski traffic heading to Big Bear will likely be a $hit$how...

Are you talking about the Condor lookout off Hi Mtn. road? Yes that road was quite easy, I believe it passes by a campground.

You do enter from hwy. 50 off Sly park road, the other side of MET near hwy. 88 is always closed in winter.

Mormon Emigrant Trail is the go-to for a lot of Bay Area sno' runs. It's about 3.5 hrs from me on the Peninsula. It gets crowded and you have to stay on MET and not take side trails, it does get patrolled. Bowman Lake road near Tahoe is also legal. Also check out the road to Uncle Tom's...

Does Does BCN have map layers like Gaia? Map layers is one of the most useful features IMO. I use a base map, say a National Forest motor vehicle map, and then add a shaded terrain elevation layer on top of that. Seeing forest routes with terrain/elevation works well .

Hi Mountain road that goes from Lopez Lake to Pozo, although it gets closed in poor weather. There is a tougher side trail off Hi Mtn. called Garcia Ridge trail. There is also Rock front OHV area off hwy. 166 and national forest off hwy 58. Just look for the green parts in google maps and the...

10" Samsung tab A running Gaia premium. Everyone usually just recommends what they run.

I'm trying to imagine how you break a rear axle in Dedeckera canyon. Maybe something in the rear was compromised already and the light 4wheeling in Dedeckera exposed the weakness?

I'm not sure anyone in the history of overlanding has ever said having a locking diff is a waste. People weigh the cost of adding lockers against their needs and budgets, but if money was no object, I'd imagine anyone would like to have lockers. But I hear you're not trying to add lockers, so...

It's basically following routes 16 and 17 on the DV backcountry map https://www.nps.gov/deva/planyourvisit/upload/Death-Valley-Backcountry-Roads.pdf

I don't think there's a right or wrong way to go but going: Saline Valley > Saline Valley Hot Springs > over Steele Pass > through Dedeckera Canyon > To Eureka Valley Sand Dune is almost entirely on dirt, more challenging, more remote, more fun IMO.

I've carried two 3-gallon Roto's on my roof for many trips through many altitude and temperature changes. The trick is to tighten the heck of of the spouts; I use a cresecent wrench to tighten the spouts. The Roto's do swell and expand but I've never had a leak. Common sense tells you it's...

I've driven Lee Vining up over Tioga pass numerous times, but never really paid attention to mileages. My best estimate is: LV to Tioga Pass gate/entrance to Yosemite: 20 minutes or 15 miles Tioga pass to Tenaya Lake: another 20 miles or 25 minutes Total time from LV to Tenaya Lake: 35 miles...

Bodie is open 365 days a year, you just need alternate transportation to get there when it snows.

A while back I made a list of all the mods I've done on my 2nd gen, here is the link: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/classic-t4rs/233656-mod-madness-my-archive-2nd-gen-mods.html
