On this episode of Weekenderlander, we take the Land Cruiser on a mini overland trip (just camping really, relax), to let it spread its wings a little. This was the 80 Series Land Cruiser's first trip since putting on the new GFC (Go Fast Campers) tent. The FZJ80 performed great, though we didn't really do any wheeling. The GFC held up great, and we had a good time taking the 80 on its maiden voyage. Full Land Cruiser Walkaround coming soon.

Should I ever think about adding narration like everyone else does, or nah?
Some narration could be good when showing things that could use some more info....
I haven't watched many of your vids yet. Found you thru John the PoetWarrior. I see your ankle has healed... that was rough.
I can't wait to see more about your Land Cruiser. I'm hoping to pick up some tips and ideas for overlanding camping adventures.
Please no. Look at venture4wd no music no narration and the most epic stuff on CZcams. His vids make you feel like you’re there. If you change make a change in his direction. That’s my two cents anyway 😬
Last Line Of Defense i like not having music. Although if you do music maybe lower it down a little. Fellow spam,eggs, and rice lover and Colorado adventurer. 🤙🏾
Last Line Of Defense definitely need music
Narration during broll? I think it's fine to let the pictures speak for themselves. You nail the vids so they speak volumes. Let the videography speak for itself.
For shots of vehicles travelling off-road, music is great. I don't like it when it is a background to a conversation or narrative.
Got it!
Old Tanker Yep, same here.
Same here, good comment.
100% agree. I find it highly annoying to have music on when people are talking. You are then chasing the volume. You have to turn it up to understand the conversation and then it is too loud.
Agreed.
No question keep the music. Keep to your style it's why most of us watch you.
No plans on changing, thanks man! Just wanted to see how no music was received, but I prefer with music for sure.
Keep the music. It’s your style and that’s what makes it you.
I’ll take the vids any way you want to produce them, with or without music, etc. You are great at what you do. As far as content, I like the way you mix in gear reviews, off-road truck stuff, over landing/camping, and guns. Keep it all coming!
Appreciate it, man!
I can see that this channel is going in the right direction. 80's are where it's at man. I have a 91. Love to see everything you do to your rig and camping .
2:41 - think this is actually the second time I've put this in a video...
The mighty 80 series
A legend already
A future icon.
I agree with Old Tanker comments, love the subtle music when traveling. Like Ashley’s involvement, trying to inspire my wife to get involved in these type of outdoor activities.
Hey man, hello from Coffs Harbour, Australia I have friends in Cedaredge and have been to. Colorado a few times, great place. I also drive an 80 so we are practically brothers.
I appreciate the detail you give on you gear and look forward to the 80 walk around
Keep the shiny side up 👍👍
Bro. Honestly you got this far filming and editing the way you have. Do you man. That’s what makes your content yours. Don’t listen to others who aren’t making content to your level. Love the content budddy
Keep the music. It adds a lot to the feel of the video.
Some things I'd find interesting in weekenderlander videos:
- Packing. Tips, things you found you don't/do need based on past trips, etc.
- Setting up camp. Picking out a spot, getting leveled, etc.
- B-roll of scenery
- Your take on the road to where you are and what type of vehicle you'd need for it. Things like AWD, high clearance, stock.
- Vlogging around camp. Gotta get your girl to be less camera shy haha.
Roger - thanks for the content suggestions, I'll keep them in mind for sure!
Keep the music for sure! Also, we find the videos of you, Ash, and Atreyu the most entertaining and how you set up your campsites. Also love the time lapses of the ride home. The only thing I’d suggest is maybe some videos of hikes! Thanks for the vids Mike👌🏼
Bring back the music. What really brought me here was the style of your first few weekenderlander videos. Go back to that. Dad always says "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Keep up the good work man.
Some video ideas
- The prep that goes into a weekender or and overland trip
- a mock bugout trial
For sure the music. It adds a level of professionalism and also adds to the enjoyment of the video!
Keep the music in man. Music changes everything and adds mood and suspense to any film making... I can't believe someone asked to keep the music out. Keep them coming man.
Spam and eggs! I thought I was the only one on the mainland that liked this kind of food. Love it! And yes, I also love your videos in general because they always teach me something new.
About 3 minutes in, my son said he likes the videos better with music. I agree with him.
Love all of your videos with or without. But your music brings it all together
Hawaii + SPAM = Heaven!!
My man! Eggs and rice!
But definitely add some music, it gets a good vibe going to the weekenderlander feeling! Great vlog otherwise! ☺️ Cant wait for the walkaround vid!
thanks!
Most of the island’s in the Pacific had to live on Spam during WWII. That’s why it’s ingrained into the culture out there. I also love it my dad was a Marine that served out there, so pretty much going to be eating it.
Definitely add that 80's type music back
Yes, Add music. Does anyone go anywhere without music?
Nice when you decide to use is for real. Ill take you out. Looks great Mike.
Yeah, now that it drives straight down the road, ready to take it out, haha. It'll just be slow going up any hills... for now.
@@LastLineOfDefense I usually keep the pwr button on all the time and if I'm going up long steep hill, I'll either throw it in 2nd or turn overdrive off, or both!
It gets really hilly sometimes here in WA like CO
Definitely music. Not only does it give these videos an upbeat vibe but it makes me want to go camping because you make it look really fun, besides its also your “signature”. These weekenderlander vids are the best!
Saw an 80 series in thumbnail and clicked as fast as I could
Thank you for not overwhelming the content blasting music at me. Music appreciation is an individual taste kind of thing. We all have different tastes. Nice presentation!
Love the Weekenderlander videos. I like when there is music, and I always like hearing about gear you are using and testing out. Thanks
Man its your channel. You do what you want to with it. We'll still watch.
I'm definitely a music guy. A lot of people prefer it. Anyone that doesn't can adjust their volume. Win win situation. Love the Weekendlander series!
I like the music. It adds a lot more to the video and I like the music you usually choose.
Music is great when the volume of it doesn’t over power the video
I’m 5 seconds in and I hate everyone that requested there be no music.
all about your music selection for a long time, it goes so well and involves us as the audience into what you imagine musically to fit your storytelling. its revealing and true thats the best kind of inspiration.
Music, it’s a must.
Just pulled my fiancées FJ80 out of storage after 4 years of it sitting. Excited and inspired by yours to get it out there and do some work on it!
Sounds like a fun project!
No music, no problem. I enjoy your awesome content and if I'm not paying I'm not complaining. Good luck in the new year. Love the LC.
I actually liked the no music I always like the weekenderlander videos because they make me feel like I'm there, detail and the experience is why I watch
Appreciate it, glad I'm able to take you guys along with me!
Ahh, found the comment box. I like the music but also cool to change it up at times. Content: equipment, gear, including installs and specs. I really liked the water container that you tapped with a spigot. Maybe some b roll with how-to on that, where the container was sourced, and brand name. Detailed info is your specialty. Lastly the location, (not GPS necessarily) story behind it. Colorado is rich in history. Some of the landscape appeared to have been damaged by an avalanche or fire- went by quick. Nature, gear, history, music. Magical combination on the way to 1m subscribers :)
Oh, and the 80’s looking real nice. You will enjoy it as you move ahead with her. And I dunno if I missed the music or not, but yeah, maybe I did. I would enjoy either way I’m sure. Peace.
Great looking set up man. I like the background music in the video on your next vlog. Tell us more about the GFC tent next time.
I especially like the gear reviews/builds. Watching you use the stuff you promote plus adding it to your description is awesome. The way you organize your trucks and utilize every square inch in a functional manner is what I love. The music adds a little flavor, but ultimately it's all about the content for me anyways. Keep up the great work. Tried and true is how I view your channel.
Needs music. Feels like I’m a creeper watching someone’s home movies. Those that don’t like music can turn down the volume.
quit creepin'. Jk, keep creeping.
I agree with this dude. The music is always a nice touch
Nothing wrong with the right music at the right time. Your selections are generally good. But I can go both ways.....music or no music that is.
I was literally just camping here. Sweet spot. What a trip!
My kind of breakfast! Love spam and eggs. And do add some music. A plain jane one is ok once in awhile.
Nice change of pace to your videos. I like to hear a little music underneath. I think it adds to the mood of your show. Keep up the great work!
Id say keep your music this is your channel you do whatever you want with it
I like a little music in the videos, but then again, you do you Mike. We are here to share in your adventures. I do like seeing Ash and Atreau in your videos too. Its gives it multiple out looks on whats going on. I still like the Taco Weekenderlanders, but the Cruiser is pretty cool!
Music is a good thing. I say keep putting it in! Also, the LC is looking amazing!
Do what makes you happy and love the music love the vids keep it up, nice color of paint Beautiful👍🏼
Would love to sees some longer weekenderlander vids
Great video - I enjo the music- consider leaving music in.... it would be cool to watch you summarize the Toyota Lamdcruiser environment- start with a brief history of the various models in the lineage and which model is your favorite. Your 80 looks fantastic
I love how you said 2020 is just around the corner with exciting things to come..... Love that retro synthwavey music btw. New sub and love the content here 👍🏼
Love the no music! It’s like ASMR for overlanders. Hearing the dirt road as you drive over it, the sound of the the food sizzling on the grill etc. I see a lot of people who want music, but I think they’re missing the point of no music.
No music? The music you choose definitely adds to the experience. Keep the music Mike. And as far as what else to film? I really like your weekenderlanding videos. The places you go are just awesome. I like how you mix vlogging and product review. Great concept.
I love these 2019 videos showing all the optimism for 2020. Great truck, camping spot and dog, and not necessarily in that order. I love the dog hair all over the hat, it certainly gets everywhere.
Lets see some more gun tuff!!!!
I love the weekenderlander stuff! Music is good, this is good too. I don't really have anything constructive to say. Thanks for the vid though!
Enjoy the music, don’t pay attention to the haters. Love the new ride, such a great looking rig!
Like to see more about your truck. Looking forward to the walk around.
Personally, I much prefer the music, although i did appreciate hearing all the bumps and squeaks that make the video seem more "common", like everyone can/should do it.
Most underrated camping item 7:12.. paper towels lol
I really like the music you pick for the videos. I've shazammed a few tracks from your channel. Keep the music!
Will do!
Another fantastic video! I think that music is always welcome since it sets the mood esp when on the trails but do what you love doing. We're grateful for the content. I esp like your "new" overlanding rig. Can't wait for the next video, keep up the great work!
Such a good series. Thanks for doing these. Side note; keep the music. It adds a lot.
Thanks!
Going back and watching some older videos because of a new project of mine and completely forgot you said you’re half Korean. My quick go to is spam, eggs and rice and I get asked if I’m Hawaiian sometimes so it was a good laugh to hear that because I’m half Korean, half white as well. Love all the videos!
I’m from West Virginia and grew up eating fried spam! Love it!
I always love seeing more shots driving of the trucks whether it’s the Tacoma or this land cruiser. More off roading clips and driving clips of the trucks would be sick although you do a great job of adding a lot of everything in there
Toasted bread, tomato, lettuce, mayo, and fried Spam...mmmm!!
I liked this with no music! My favorite video as far as your music setup is Mesquito pass! Music most places until the trail and then just the sound of your tires on the rocks I love it! I love your videos man! I'm excited to see this 80 more often! 👍
Bring on the winter camping ❄️
making me want to get a TLC. I used to dream about these as a kid. I just got an FJ cruiser though so I'll be working on that for now...
Here in Vermont Spam it pretty popular so rock on! The bacon spam it killer imho love the 80. Keep filming the way you do thats my take on it!
I personally have little preference but if I was forced to choose I would say that no music is better, I enjoy hearing the vehicles struggle for traction and the sound of the engine.
Music is good. Traveling shots. Maybe some more difficult terrain here and there. They are good though! I definitely enjoy them!
Your content is great! I just click and enjoy the ride 🕶.
Now that your asking, I want to see more of you hiking or biking around. That vid with warrior poet was fun. Also tips and tricks for campers that you have learned
Hey. I grew up on spam and rice. Love it. The Philadelphia Pa guy I am new rig looks great 👍🏽🤙🏽
Love your videos with music. Like your casual style and not overly complicated on technical details but letting us know what you do to kit out your truck.
I agree with everyone else, keep the music. You've been helping me add to my SoundCloud. Can't wait to see the drawer system you have planned! 👍
Nice quick trip getting out there. Hat is awesome!
Hey, Mike! If you haven't tried it, try grilling some spam. Goes great with the usual eggs and rice, but you could also make some grilled spam sliders (w/ a slice of pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, tomato slices and some leaf lettuce). My old auto tech coworker who's an older American Latino told me about that idea of grilling the Spam.
Your videos inspired me to get out there and enjoy nature!
Just recently grabbed a 4x4 Tacoma thanks to you.
Can’t afford a roof tent rn, but we’re gonna grab a bed tent and work our way up!
That’s awesome man, glad to hear it!
I can eat spam, eggs & rice every morning for a whole week. My favorite breakfast combo.🤤🤣
Oh man, 2020 is going to be a big year - you were kind of right! Thanks for the video
BTW That truck looks amazing!!! I'm only 5 min in but I miss the music and the mood it sets in your weekenderlander videos. You are good at it and you should keep it up! Thanks for what you do Mike.
Great video! Like some others, I enjoy a bit of music with your B-rolls...but the content was still great! Looking forward to more adventures with the 80.
I think I like music better than no music. Its more relaxing to me for some reason.
I would love to hear more about the new Land Cruiser, especially as I just acquired one myself.
Frederick Marquart
X2! I just picked up a 100 series land cruiser but I do love the 80s. Please include the color of the paint and who did it because it looks great! Also want to know about the wheel and tire combo.
I like the gear reviews with each trip and talking about all the new stuff you keep adding on. I think you should add a little bit of narration into your vids! I would also like to see some more content from you. Keep up the good work!
Land Cruiser looking good!
For sure keep the music, but whatever you do, please keep the series alive. Seriously one of the best on the Tube...Peace
Appreciate the kind words, Vince!
I like the music, it allows you to throw in some cinematic shots to break up the pace of the video. Some people probably just don't like the type of music, but I think you choose it wisely and it works.
Your overlanding videos are what got me hooked on your channel, there is no other channel like yours (believe me, I've looked). How you present your trips on CZcams is perfect, the chilled out music, light gear reviews and explanations, and aesthetic shots and angles are perfect! Please don't get rid of the music.
Haha appreciate it! No plans to quit the music, just a brief experiment on this vid.
I logged in to check out your 80series, but the breakfast eggs and spam was hella cool surprise.......Oh yeah, and keep the music rolling
Your brought your dog....so instant thumbs UP from me!
I was skeptical about no music but... this was great and enjoyable content. Awesome 80 😎
Can’t wait for the walk-around
I like the vids with music. Kudos to you for experimenting with your style. Thanks for the dose of inspiration to get out there and explore👍
