This channel is for the automotive-obsessed and the aspiring race car driver within us all. I travel and track my E36 M3 and play with many other cars while closing the gap between you and your first track day. Whether it's an autocross or HPDE, it's time you ditch the parking lot meet and join me on course. Let me show you how easy it is through personal stories, behind-the-scenes looks, and semi-pro tips along the way.
LX470 Road Trip Vlog: Day 8 - Lincoln’s Day Out in Phoenix While We Wait For Better Health.
After a “zero day” of no miles, minimal walks, and lots of rest, Lincoln is showing at least one sign of improvement.
An eye twitch that started as part of this neurological issue has stopped, giving us a sign of hope that the root cause is treatable and his condition may continue to improve.
He had the energy and desire to get out so we made the most of it by visiting a doggie bakery and picking out the most unexpected snack he’s ever had before continuing on to a tap room and restaurant patio, two types of places he’s very familiar with back home.
We will remain in place until we see more signs of improvement or feel it’s best to get back on the road. We’re mapping out potential routes back home to NC and evaluating what he may be up for along the way.
We’ll update you again soon. Cheers.

LX470 Road Trip Daily Vlog: Days 5 and 6 - Lincoln’s Not Well and We Don’t Know Why
zhlédnutí 82Před 3 měsíci
Late night on day 4 of the LX470 based cross-country road trip, Lincoln rapidly started losing balance, proper orientation, and motor function on the right side of his face. After an emergency vet visit followed by an all-day neuro evaluation, we’re staying put in Phoenix as we aim to help Lincoln overcome an unknown neurological related issue. Lots of speculation but no answers yet. Hopefully ...
LX470 Road Trip Daily Vlog: Day 4 - Camping in New Mexico Before Seeing the Mexico Border in Arizona

Day 4 of the LX470 based cross-country road trip started off at a snowy 8,000 feet in elevation (and 27°!) in New Mexico’s Lincoln National Forest and near a local ski area. We camped out of the truck and watched the snow lightly fall all night long. And who knew about skiing in New Mexico? 🤯 The day also ended in a completely different fashion as Lincoln and I made it into Tucson for the night...

A fail proof guide to finding and accessing the Hurricane Creek off road trail from i40 by the TN/NC border outside of Asheville, NC. UPDATE It’s no longer a completely casual trail and is not recommended for the unfamiliar or unprepared. Continued use, especially during bad weather has caused larger ruts, off-camber areas, and overall less beginner-friendly conditions. I recommend ONLY going w...
In a weird spot with my career, not sure of what the near future holds, not sure what is best for me. But this video was wonderful. I love your attitude in it, your outlook. Ryan, after knowing you for over 20 years now (off and on, of course) Ive realized what kind of man you are and this solidifies that more. You got this. Im about to start watching your other videos about your trip and am super stoked on it
Jeeez I'm in a similar situation being laid off and deciding for an adventure. Unfortunately, my adventure ended early when my car burnt down at the track and the rebuild cost absolutely requires me to focus on my income again. Uggghhh hopefully I can live it up again soon.
Nice video, just getting into this stuff and finding alot of trails around me but most videos I've found dont map out many land marks to help find the start of the trails. God bless and be safe!
if im looking for a 2gr to swap into my 91 NA manual what should i be looking for? is there a specific year and do i need the wiring harness from that vehicle the engine was in?
Lincoln is doing better and his parents are just awesome
Awww…what a sweet baby! So glad he is doing better!! ❤️🐾❤️
Thank you. Hoping for more as we continue our travels.
That lady takes you back to the Shoppes on Little Creek Days
Great to see him getting around better.
Thanks bro.
Hey Ryan, there's this real cool tool you can use to research weather of the places you're traveling to and the elevations you'll be exposed to. It's called the internet. You're welcome.
You passed through Alamogordo? I live there. Nice.
Oh, I hope Lincoln feels much better soon!!
Thank you. Us too. Tomorrow I’ll share an update on his day today and us trying to let him enjoy some fresh air.
Hope he gets better. We need him happy and healthy for track dog activities.
I hope to have him join us at a track again soon!
Momma will make everything better, for Lincoln and you! Praying this is something smaller on the list of possibilities.
🙏
Once again fantastic. Your edits are pretty freaking good knowing what limited stuff you are working with. Awesome content can’t wait to catch up at the track in a few weeks.
Thanks. Only working with an iPhone and a GoPro, especially editing on an iPhone in various areas with limited connectivity makes me have to be selective and intentional!
What's on the menu for the trips... some MRE's, gas station hot dogs, or are you and Linc doing some filets and loaded potatoes?
I precooked and packed meals for me in a good cooler and then brought too many healthy snacks for in between. Lots of temptation during the gas stops though. And as for the filet and potatoes, I only get treated that well when travelling with @lockonautosport. 🤣 youtube.com/@LockOnAutosport?si=e-DlQ7-4xGv29EOQ
ohhh hell yeah dude
So cool!
Absolutely awesome.
Glad you think so!
Surreal!
That Conoco gas station is so freaking awesome! Great location for a photoshoot for sure!
Wow! What a great day!!
Sorry and congrats dude! Sometimes that’s the kick in the pants you need to take the next step. It was for me anyway. Have fun in this next bit of time brother. 👍🏻
How are things?~ Like it!really stunning , 💫
Great, thanks.
Awesome, jealous of this adventure but also can't wait to see what the next episode brings.
Thanks for following along!
Can’t wait to make this trip with y’all!! Great job! 👏👏
Have fun you guys. I wish I would've taken more time on my trip out there.
Thanks, Josh. Never enough time. But we’re certainly making the most of it at the moment.
Awesome to see can’t wait to see how this goes for you.
Thanks, friend! Same here. 🤣
Wow, way to go. I cannot wait to see all the places you go , and things you do!!
any update on this build?
Spectacular!!! Cinematic perfection!! Can’t wait to get on track with you soon!!!
Thanks friend! GRIDLIFE will be amazing.
❤
It’s such a bummer when you pour so much into a company and then they let you go like it never mattered. Been there. Your prospective is refreshing and being prepared definitely helps! Soak up the extra time with your fam and live it up while you can! 🙂
You know I’ll make the most of it! Hope you’re well too.
Sometimes we’re dealt a card we may not even know we needed. Love your outlook and know you will make the most out of it.
Thank you! You know it.
Awesome outlook and I know you will do great things in your future. Also I know some of those things in your near future.
Thank you. Let’s meet at the track soon!
Very inspirational! I know you will continue to do great things! ❤️
Thank you, Leilani! I’m glad the inspiration came through.
Great outlook! I know the feeling when I saw the writing on the wall while I was at Amazon. My first day after leaving I was at VIR with SCDA. I can't express just how awesome that felt!
Thanks, Jordan. That sounds similar and was exactly why you saw me working grid for SCCA at VIR this weekend. New found free time? Volunteer at the track! Looking forward to driving with you again soon.
I can't believe you made a vid on how to get there, its going to be shut down because of mis and over use, there are tons of videos of jeeps taking roads such as this in nasty conditions and destroying the roads, this ain't no trail, Flatlands in GA is a perfect example, shutdown or Cashes Creek, shut down, take this video down please, locals don't like and the FS for sure doesn't
Yet this video is 6 years old and still not shut down
Makes me wanna buy an MR2 and do the same!
You won't regret it!
you are the MAN, thank you for this vid!
I know this video is old but good info. My JDM left clear corner works fine. The right one wires the same way blows a fuse and my taillight fuse. Any ideas?
Mine came with resistors built in the bulb
Where did u get the canbus led from? I tried a set aliexpress and it still hyper flash.
That parts car chassis is in nicer condition than my car, jealous of the paint
AWESOME VIDEO
Stunning car mate
Great choices. It's not about tire size , it's about angles and you have the angles , BIG time. Independent suspension actually as a squared roll resistance compared to solid axle. When you pick a wheel up , you are NOT maxed out on up travel and that's why you won't roll. Solid axle , by the time they pick a wheel up it means that the up travel is maxed out. This is because of a difference in motion ratio.
I'm using tge canbus led with anti hyperflash... so far no problems.
Did mine today. OEM came off with some careful effort. New LED relay flasher went on with ease after hunting down the connection.
dude this is a clean car!!! i have one as well my cusco top hats are bad where can i find replacement online?
How are liking the lift? Looks like it would be handy for when my 5sgte is done.
Thanks, are there any camping spots you recommend in the area?
Please update soon
Thanks for the video. I'm wanting to check this out in my 3rd Gen T4R sometime while exploring the TAT, but I've heard it has some rough spots, so I definitely would want to do this in a group ride. Appreciate you giving us a solid way to get to the trail. Nice Land Cruiser, BTW!
