- "Laugh and Cry", Moab... In this episode the XO crew travels south of Moab on the Lockhart Basin trail then into Valley of the Gods in southern Utah. The jokes are subtle, and the laughs are as big as the country they travel through. Also, Jeff Downer tells the guys about his past tragedies including his mothers death from breast cancer, being brutally hit on his bike by a drunk driver, and his sisters diagnosis of breast cancer. Then he roles it all up into "life is short and you must pursue your passions!" You will laugh and you just might cry.

Folks, I was diagnosed with cancer in 2013 being Multiple Myeloma and now throat cancer since a month ago.
I found your channel through my sons interest in offroading and have almost watched every one of your video's.
Can't thank you enough for the great content and editing of your amazing trips, not only fantastic but a great way to enjoy and forget all the troubles a person can be going though.
Very best to you in your journeys!
Cheers, Pete
I started watching you guys about the same time I was diagnosed with cancer. You don't know how great it to be able to see you guys and gals out concurring life. Thanks for sharing I soon hope to be out there exploring the world with you. Thanks for Sharing.
I hope you recover soon. I pray for your dreams to come true.
Having discovered you guys only recently i have become indescribably inspired. I have said the same on other of your videos... however once again i thank you. The true source of your inspiration is obvious for those who are open to receive it. Your teamwork and support of each other is just a tremendous example. Thanks once again.
+Marty Allen thanks! That means a lot to us here at XO!
I wish I had friends like this.
The commentary is absolutely beautiful. Especially the newer videos...
Y'all are amazing. I found you when searching for ideas while trying to overland my 94 Toyota pickup. i watched all of season two and searched high and low for season one. I'm happy to see y'all put it up. Im a 19 year old engineering major, and before XO i had no idea what i wanted to do with it but now I'm doing what i can to pursue a career with Toyota in their off road department. I love what y'all do and its so cool to see how far y'all have come in the cinematography and over landing aspects. i encourage you to keep being passionate about over landing because you are truly making a difference in peoples lives!
Now that was Funny all the gear going into the Tent ! I was laughing 😂 Hard
Cancer killed my mom when I was 17. Breast cancer tried to kill my wife in 1990. Brain cancer killed her in 2004. Solo adventuring in Baja has been my therapy. Folks don't understand. Damn it Jeff, this one hit too close to home.
God Bless the Downer family. Strong Souls are capable of Anything you put your mind into it. Blessings
100 Series fully loaded with rooftop tent and trailer makes it looks easy. Of course the addition of the front locker that was later added would have made things easier. Enjoy the heck out of these videos living through you guys. Thanks
Now I know where to store my floor jack, my Hi-Lift and my 12 ft ladder!
Thank you!
+chrisfev01 You bet! HAHA
These seasons are even better the second time through. Just caught the School of Rock reference. Nicely played.
Fantastic travels!!!! My son and I are inspired!
You just gave me my thanksgiving weekend trail solution. Love your videos. You also reminded me how lucky I am to live only 200m from Moab. Thanks for posting.
glad to see another great adventure. i love the ending phrase. God bless and may you continue on having lots more adventures to share.
The first Noth American series was so good! Got.me.hooked and wanting more. Ready for the latest season to come out! Keep up the good work XO!
Funny, watching this episode again we made the same mistake in the route last week. A little looking around and we finally found the proper path. Good times.
An absolute amazing series, btw. It's 5 a.m. on a Sunday morning and I can't stop watching :)
May God Bless the Downer family and all families battling cancer. My mom has been battling cancer for 15 years, Had Breast cancer, now bone cancer. Cancer can rip families apart, or bring them closer than ever.. luckily for my family, it brought us closer through Christ.
As for the trip, that trail looks pretty awesome. Gonna do some research on it, but I don't think I can go at that trail with 1 rig out of safety concerns. Was the footage you showed the worst of it? Nice video fellas!
Find groups on forums like tacomaworld or Toyota4runner.org and keep eye out for trips
I'm planning my first ever trip to Moab at the end of September. This video doesn't make me feel like an excited kid before Christmas one bit (yeah right). I've thoroughly enjoyed your Alaska and Central America series...thanks for sharing this with everyone.
Fantastic videos . I love watching them. You do the trips most of us just dream about. Keep up the good work
Atb Tony
very inspirational all your videos are, keep up the awesome work
I love your videos. You guys do such a great job and y'all are an inspiration.
ok, so, I have watched all the Alaska/Yukon vids. I have watched most of the North American playlist. Recurring theme: Land Cruiser continually getting stuck Tacoma(s) continually getting it unstuck....I'd rethink that heavy beast. I will say however I have ZERO overlanding experience but am looking for my first rig.
I think it has more to do with the fact that they're towing a trailer behind it. Without the trailer, it would have no problem keeping up with the tacoma. I always keep thinking they shoudl rethink carrying a trailer.
Been through some of these same trails with my dad and brother! Looks like you guys had an awesome time! keep it up!
Awesome video with a fantastic message. Keep it up.
Much improved motorcycle riding compared to first video. Nice work.
wouldn't an Enduro or trail bike be better than the BMW.
Absolutely
But in all great team and thanks for sharing pf adventures with us. :-)
Hey guys, this is easily my favorite CZcams channel, I was just wondering when the next trip starts and then 'airs'? Also, I'm off to Canada on an adventure of my own in 5 days, one way flight, I think I almost hold Expedition Overland fully responsible for this; inspiring show!
Great!
A second Tacoma?! I spy a first gen this go around.
No lockers on the land cruiser? Is it a limited slip diff? That bmw motorcycle really makes light work of those technical sections! Love it.
Inspiring.
The video just getting better everytime,when will be the next one?Thank you.
Love the series! I was directed to them after commenting about some of the antics I'd seen on some of the 4x4 Alaska shows seen on a major network. You guys are awesome, very jealous.
I do have a question about the rooftop tent on the Tacoma. Having had experience with fiberglass tops in the past, I know that they can be prone to cracking even without the added stress of weight on the top of them. Now when you add the rooftop tent and it looks like other gear that is being stowed in the rooftop tent I would think that that fiberglass shell would be very very prone to cracking how did you guys address that?
AWESOME
Hey guys, love the show. What are those awesome maps, and where can i get some?
with those " New ARB Tents" you mentioned , how did you manage to get any sleep with those flapping tent flies..jaja
any suggestions on how to get the tents fly from flapping as much?
I would love to be part of your team. .. I really appreciate the professionalism of doing thing, safety aspect and your behavior to one another. On the down side, I feel the one on the motorcycle lack of serious skill and he's motorcycle is way too much to handle for him. Unfortunately that could bring the team in serious trouble (injury) and down time with mechanical issues that could be avoid by having a much lighter bike. Further more a smaller bike would be much easier to improve his skills. But in all great time and thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
17:20 It puts the lotion on it's skin or it gets sun-burnt again...lol.
great vid, thanks.I am curious about tire sizes on both those truck, you can throw in the motor cycle size but doubt they would work on my ranger. it is time for new tires and run a 32 11.5 now but am looking for alternatives.
Did you really store a high lift jack, floor jack, and a ladder inside your roof top tent?
Peanut butter and onions go well in Thai food.
what quad-copter are you using for the aerial shots?
Please forgive me if this has already been covered but is this before you installed lockers on the Land Cruiser? I have a 2000 100 series and I've been thinking about installing an ARB air locker on the rear but if you did this without one, why would I even spend the money? I love your videos.......best on youtube!
They mentioned it doesn't have any lockers so they had to fiddle with the traction control and throttle.
I have a question, while the Land Cruiser is climbing up these tough terrain, were you guys on 4 Low with center diff lock?
I hope you guys realize you are living the dream, right?
Love all of these videos so much.
Why the f800gs? I own one but would feel much more comfortable on a 450 enduro.
Just wondering.
these videos are so fine
What's going on with the bfg ko's? I thought you guys sported the coopers or something.
You are living my dream!! Where can i pickup a expedition overland hat??
Thanks David! You can pick them up at www.xoverland.com. We have a merch section with all proceeds going to help with our production costs.
Thanks again!

Hey how are you guys getting that footage from up in the air? Are you guys using a drone?
my mom passed away in December of 1995 as well
What kind of drone do you guys use and who is flying it. They are good at it.
Does anyone know the budget on this series or has the team mentioned it?
Youse guys keep going, "Duh, we might be lost...", then looking at a map. Maybe try using the quadcopter for aerial recon rather than just videography. MY home-made quadcopter can be run up to 3000-ft for a real birds-eye view of the surrounding countryside...I don't know the limitations of your store-bought one. ;)
PS. You need a dust-sock over your snorkle, to pre-filter out more of that crud.
Why no sliders on the Cruiser?
What paper maps are you using?
Did I honestly see you guys putting heavy jacks on the roof of your rig? Why?
And what happened to your food? Looked like something blew up in there.
Great video! Music in the beginning is way too loud and in my face....it doesn't fit the visual beauty of the landscapes.
Hey guys, I was looking into getting a used 4x4 4runner. Any models, engines, years, I should stay away from? Thanks!
The only one to stay away from is the 3.0 v6.
I'm not sure what your budget is but the 4th gen(03-09) 4runner is one of the best value 4x4 overland platforms on the market right now.
Jeff
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback Jeff! Love the vids. Keep them coming!
I owned a 95 3.0, I really liked it, though it was also the vehicle where I learned how to change out the head gasket, twice. There is a 4 cylinder 4Runner that is supposed to be very strong and reliable. You can usually find one for around $2k.
Where was that cave? Did you camp in there?
What are your build specs for 1st gen tacoma
wrong choice of tyres from the beginning...
Do you let people join you on adventures?
Less talk about the road less traveled and more footage of the road being traveled.
Jeep , been there done that next
too much background music
1st
Really a BMW? KLR, XLR or DR would have been a lot better out there. That scooter is an 80/20 road bike.
