  • In March 2022, I visited Big Bend National Park for my very first time. During this trip, I camped in Chisos Basin, cooked a meal, watched the sunset (& sunrise) and did a little bit of off-roading in the Chihuahuan Desert.

    Greta video! At the 7 second mark, what navigation system are you using? It looks like Google maps satellite view???

      @francisngo  Před 2 lety +3

      It is Apple CarPlay. I was using Google maps on my iPhone and it translate over to the 4Runner's infotainment.

    Last question lol, to Velcro the patch on does it come like that from the park office or do you have your own Velcro you attach first before putting on roof?

      @@francisngo very nice man. Did it take time because youd never done it or thats just what it takes? Also you have any pointers or sources of info on diy wrapping?

      @@nunquamdormint it took a lot of time because it was a one man show. And the front/rear bumpers and rear hatch were probably the hardest. Oh and the door handles. I believe if you have it done professionally, they will have 2-4 guys working on it. Some pointers: Watch a lot of vinyl wrapping videos on CZcams and to practice, I recommend wrapping the roof first. It's the easiest part to do without having to remove any components and there are grooves on the 4Runner's roof that you can learn how to use the squeegees and remove air bubbles.
