I made this trip a few months ago in a 22-year-old 4runner. No snow but tons of giant holes in the road. I also drove from NY. I did it on a whim after a buddy questioned what I was going to do with my wife's uncle's old truck after he passed. I told him I was going to fix it and drive it to Deadhorse Alaska. So I did. Thanks for sharing your trip.
There's nothing that a 22 year old 4runner can't do. I am proud to work at their japanese facility that make "toyota surf" which is basically a rebadged 4runner. Our bosses were obsessed about one thing and one thing only, quality. Good trucks.
Ever since childhood, Alaska has been calling me , no where else on earth comes close to Alaskas beauty, the sheer wilderness, northern lights in the winter , land of the midnight sun in the summer, as yet never got out there but before I’m 50 in three years I will be out there . Absolutely stunning .
You've got to I lived in Fairbanks/North Pole area for seven years and I'd go back today if my wife let me but we don't want to seperate our young kids from their family that far away but I still hold out hope we can move back one day until then I just have to make trips.
It really has that effect on folks. We can't get enough ourselves.
@@renegadearms I know the Fairbanks North Pole area is nice , I see a lot of it as we follow a family on CZcams called somers in Alaska and they live in North Pole , we’ve followed them for the last six years . My biggest issue is we have a disabled daughter who needs 24/7 care , but hopefully one day we will be out there .
@@renegadearmsMe too bro, it’s just been calling to me. Has me wanting to pack my bags and leave everyone behind to live in a Cabin out in Alaska Wilderness
In May of 2019 I made the journey from NYC to Anchorage Alaska with Dad, sister and niece and loved every moment of. That was our last family road trip before my dad passed away in April of this year from his battle with cancer. I'm definitely looking forward to another trip to Alaska and this might be the next venture. Oh and thanks for being a part of the Android fan👍🏾
did similar road trips in Europe. Starting in southern Germany I went all across Germany and Sweden, across the arctic circle and into Norway all the way to the North Cape in February 2022. Did that with a Skoda Kodiaq and a rooftop tent
Winter tires are amazing, even without studs you can feel a significant difference.
love blizzak and nokians on the snow, the difference they make over conventional AT tire is insane
@@Kill4Time255 I’ve had Michelin X-ICE in most of the cars. Never bothered to change out the A/T’s in my truck though. Manitoba gets a ton of snow, but it’s flat land so 💁♀️
I think people who travel a lot are good people. They value their lives and nature.👍
Thanks! This is a very exciting video! Now, for your collection, you need to drive to the Arctic Ocean from Russia. And there in the northern cities in winter the temperature reaches -120 F. And in my city there are such desperate travelers on prepared off-road vehicles who go on such expeditions to the far north in winter, and even there was such a thing that they repaired the engine right in the tundra at a temperature of -100 F (closing with a polythene and heating the space) when the connecting rod broke off from the piston on one of the cylinders. So welcome to Russia, there are places very similar to Alaska in winter.
That's incredible! Maybe one day that will be a possibility.
@@LifestyleOverland Yes - "The ways of the Lord are inscrutable"! Someday you may want to visit Russia, I will be happy to accompany you on a trip, for example, to the main Ural ridge (not very far from my city and the large Ural city of Yekaterinburg) - to the mountains, and I noticed that you like to travel where there are mountains! Or you can go to the world's largest freshwater lake Baikal (it is very beautiful there), or to very beautiful places - the Altai Mountains (American Justas Walker and his family have been living there for many years - there is a CZcams channel), or to the mountainous Caucasus.
I myself sometimes drive my prepared Toyota FJ Cruiser SUV (although much less often than you) on light off-road, I drive an Audi Q8 car (this is my car for everyday driving). I myself live in the provincial city of Perm in the Urals (you can watch a CZcams video about my city "НЕ Москва! ПЕРМЬ! Прогулка по историческому центру города. ПРЯМОЙ ЭФИР!"), so welcome to Russia!
Russians are very hospitable people, look at how in the comments people support a Canadian who sold everything in Canada and for the sake of 9 children (given the policy of family values in Russia, unlike Canada) moved to Russia in February 2024, bought land and is now building his house "Our CANADIAN home in RUSSIA!! Наш КАНАДСКИЙ дом в РОССИИ!!"
Good luck on your trips (I will be waiting for your new videos) and may the Lord bless your wonderful family...
@@LifestyleOverland I may have incorrectly converted degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit! When the guys were doing repairs in the tundra, the air temperature was -37 degrees Celsius (the table shows that +37 degrees Celsius is 100 degrees Fahrenheit, but perhaps the cold is calculated differently) And the temperature in the places where they went reaches -55 Celsius! They drove 4 cars to the city of Dixon and on the way back, after driving about 200 miles, they got up for repairs (Toyota land Cruiser 100 car) eventually repaired (and drove this car without 1 worker to the house, but the engine later had to be changed)
And 2 years before this trip, they went to the city of Amderma in the far north as well! The main thing is that the car has different backup heating systems, an elevator from 5 inches and wide tires (because you often have to drive on a snow-covered virgin land with flat tires) Of course, this is dangerous because you can only drive along the winter road during a certain period (from February to March) the rest of the time there are severe snowstorms or a thaw in which you can not drive) And considering that there are distances of 200-300 miles between settlements (according to the map of Russia this can be understood) then of course these are risky expeditions but they are worth it they stand for the sake of feelings and memories!
That sounds amazing! We would love to explore your country one day. Thank you for the invitation!
@@LifestyleOverland Of course come and take your friends with you! We have a lot of beautiful girls (friends will find a bride) - the video: "😎July 2024. Moscow center. Location Patriarch's Ponds" and the inexpensive cost of living in the video is an example that corresponds to food prices, and it is higher than the average in Russia "Russian TYPICAL (Luxury) Supermarket: Would You Shop Here?" 100 dollars of living expenses in Russia is about 300-400 dollars of living expenses in the USA so a tourist trip will cost you little (and if we talk in general, life in Russia is also inexpensive - education and medical services are free - according to a medical policy that is issued for life, but of course there are many private medical clinics, utility bills are also inexpensive, or for example, I pay insurance for cars (payment immediately for 1 year in advance, but you can pay for six months or 3 months) Toyota + Audi for about $ 120 per car for Internet + cable TV for $ 14-15 per month (at home, the Internet speed is up to 500 megabits per second), cellular communication - $ 9 per month (this is for my 2 SIM cards - one of them is in my Audi (because I'm just like you on your videos in music screensavers - I listen to fresh indie-style music on the road with an annual "Yandex-music"subscription (including the sound I use at home - in a smart speaker as well as in an integrated music system with ceiling acoustics, this is a very convenient thing with a large music library of hundreds of thousands of tracks - new items and music for every taste and this subscription it cost me $310 a year! I'm saying all this about music because I really like your tracks (indie style - beautiful vocals, guitar, etc...) on screensavers where there is beautiful nature and mountains!)
All this is necessary so that you have a general picture of expenses during a tourist trip in Russia!
So for a place to relax on exotic islands (for example Bali or the paradisiacal Maldives - where we like to go on vacation), visit Russia and you will not regret it! If for you the middle (or more northern) strip of Russia is a very uncomfortable cold climate, then welcome to the Black Sea coast, for example, the city of Sochi with a California climate and houses on hills overlooking the sea or mountains (or at the same time in one window the sea in another window the mountains) with a high-tech/minimalistic exterior and interior design (also renovated myself in this style last year)! Welcome....
LESSONS from my trip on Dalton in winter, 1. you can never have enough fuel so get more never pass available fuel even if small amount needed, treat all fuel with no freeze, and one of the important ones NO PEOPANE HEAT,TOO MUCH MOISTURE, USE GAS, DIESEL OR WOOD HEAT. DO NOT PASS OYHER VECH, THAR ARE STRANDED ALWAYS ASK IF THEY NEED HELP. AND HOPEFULL THEY WILL DO SAME FOR YOU GREAT TRIP
THE NEW TUNDRA WOULD LOOK NICE WITH A NEW ALU CAB, YOU DO A FEW TRIPS ALONE.
Haven't watched all of this yet but hopefully the Tundra engine didn't let go! Toyota have to replace 100,000 of them !!
Ok I finished Part one and I NEED Part two soon!!!! We are in serious need of some snow after watching this.
nice car and nice places;)
Amazing video, phenomenal journey......
Glad you enjoyed it!
New sub here,stay safe guys & happy travels✌✌✌
Freakin Sweet!!!
Привет из России (Краснодар), отличное видео, прекрасный отдых. Желаю всего хорошего.
Great as always. Such adventure and beauty all in one set, to be continued. I realize a lot of your viewers enjoy the music, but I just mute that out and advance forward. Enjoy so much more the commentary and knowledge you have to share about where you are, where you are going and the actual sounds that seem to make it real for us that can't go. Not a criticism, just an observation. Just wanted to share one view point. It just seems to distract so much from the realism. I just really enjoy the story more than the song. Anyway, great video, great adventure, nothing but praise for all that you do and share. God bless, look forward to the next trek and look forward to a great future with lifestyle overland.
Great episode to watch!! can't wait to see your tundra build tackle all the great trails!
Thanks! Itching to install the mods that have been showing up while I've been editing 😁
Good evening from West Virginia! We are excited to see this adventure!
Thanks for watching!
Living the dream bud, keep it up.
Kevin, did you like those chicken strips at Coldfoot Camp? I had them a few years ago and they were awesome. The chef was from New York City and he really knew how to make some awesome tasting strips.
They were excellent 😁
ah yeay! Always great to see Alaska!
Good laughs there at the end 😂. Alaska looks nice covered in snow/ice.
It's so incredible.
Starlink is great! I’ve used in Antarctica and on the ice cap in Greenland
Wow, that's awesome! What were you doing in Antarctica?
@@LifestyleOverland supporting the National Science Foundation…looks up the 109th Airlift Wing. It’s an Air National Guard Unit.
Very cool!
@@amateuradventures9140 we’re seeing it more and more on wildfires. Starting to replace the COWs (cell on wheels).
Wow! That's a real bucket list adventure! Going to have to watch all that amazing snow covered scenery roll past a few more times. What a great story, can't wait for part 2!
Thanks, Tim! Hope you get to drive this route one day.
What was that round thing with lots of windows?
Curious about your truckside tent little room next to your truck...would love more info
Watching this while it’s 100 + degrees lol
Hope it helped you cool down 😁
Great video Kevin!
It always hard to tell on video, but what was your average speed on the Dalton?
Thanks as always.
Usually around 45-55mph... Craig might be quicker 😉
Great job on this episode. The truck looks amazing. Star link for the win.
What an awesome experience! I bet this was hard to film though!
STRIGHT AWESOME 🔥 ❄ 🩵⛰
Great adventure. Did you turn around a few months later and go back and meet up with TrailRecon, or was this the same trip?. From TrailRecon, it looked like a few months later. Either way, it was a great video
Yeah, it was a separate trip. We filmed a TON this spring.
What a great video! I miss seeing your girls with you but even guys need guy time! Keep up the great adventures!
Thanks! Will do!
California gas prices are higher than Alaska or at least they were when we were there
You can keep those CA prices lol
The best experience to share a road trip with good company. Thanks for Sharing
Cool. Were those studded tires on Kodiak?
Yep!
I live right around the corner from them. I see their rigs all the time
Awesome...❤❤ in which month this video recorded please reply .want to visit this place.
This was February
Thats on my bucket list for next year, not in the winter
Yeah, you'll want a few trips in good weather first!
@6:42 Hey mister, you cant park there :-)
hello to the author of the channel, I came across your channel and will be glad to watch your videos, because such trips are like.
País : Brasil 🇧🇷
Hello !
Great episode you 2 have some bark on ya. OBTW we have our new GX 550 Overtrail and sporting its Topo bear sticker.
Thanks! Honored to be repped on the 550!
Gentlemen, i want to file a complaint. At the 3:02-3:05 mark in the video, our lovely presentor opened the door, grabbing the handle from below. That made me feel weird. End of complaint. Awesome video btw.
He gets nervous on camera and doesn't know what to do with his hands 🤣👍
@@LifestyleOverland hahahah 🤣
Loved this epic trip even better....waiting for new episodes soon...be safe ❤
LIving the dream..Hi from Sweden ❤❤❤
💫💥👍 beautiful..
Thanks ✌️
Super nice aveture road trip guys God bless
Beautiful drone footage along with the music. I can’t wait to get on the road.
Glad you enjoyed it
What awning is that? Does anyone know what the brand and model is?
Alucab 270 awning
Thanks
Thank you again
Thanks for riding along!
The introduction you gave of Milo is great. That is a perfect summary of him 😂
other than motor blowing up!!
Dude your drone shots are amazing considering how little subscribers you have!
That wall kit is neat and perfect for cold winter camping. Very cool! Alaska is beautiful but not sure I'd want to travel during the winter (though that does present it's own beauty). I'm sure that Tundra build gave you some ideas for your own build. Can't wait to see the progression!
Would love info on that tent
👍
Nice choice on the Calument Bourbon!
1:55 Good to see Tom Segura doing something the poors can do as well....
A GIANT Tom 😂
@@LifestyleOverland OLD days Todd....
Bro. Thanks for your upload. So sad I live in Europe. Alaska was always a dream!
@@LifestyleOverland I can almost touch Alaska through the fence....
Had the pleasure of chatting with Craig at Expo PNW. What a gracious guy. Hoping to utilize his services in 2025
@0:04 seconds in on the opening title page, you forgot another "h" in highway
Good catch. Kills me there no auto correct in Davinci. Never should have added that last minute 🤦 I'll fix it in the movie version
Luckily I was able to trim that out. It'll be back for the combined movie!
5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I miss living in Fairbanks, Id go back today if i could.
So many I talk too either love it or absolutely hate it. I would love to spend a year in that area.
Longing to return. Was there as a student intern with BLM Northern Field Office from 98-02
Wait, what are the specs on the truck? Diesel or gas? Ive only seen diesel for sale
I was stationed at Eielson AFB for 5 years, man I miss AK !
Great episode... sorry, I blocked the shots again 😂
Tried to give you a cameo 😂
@LifestyleOverland 🤩 Superstar status achieved. Thanks Brother!!!
Man ngl after all the tundra engine failures I’ve seen, I’m not sure I’d make this specific journey in a tundra 🥶
This is true overlanding. Vehicle based travel "outside your home country", where the purpose of the trip IS the travel, not the camping. Engagement with locals, seeing the world from their perspective, and contributing to their economy by breaking bread and buying more than just the necessary fuel from the local people. This is great uncommercialized content! Nice work. Thank you.
Alaska is just incredible. Personally, we don't get hung up on definitions. Get out and travel where and when you can but most importantly remember to soak in the whole experience. A lot of "elite" folks want to put it in a box but that's losing sight of what it's about to begin with. There are many degrees of "hikers" just like there are many degrees of "overlanders". If you're out here hunting for an identity or renoun; then it's likely you're missing the real adventure.
@@LifestyleOverland well I don't think it's "elite" or elitist to understand the difference between car/truck camping, boondocking, touring, RVing, and overlanding, no matter how uncommon that knowledge is. All are great sources of adventure.
Like vehicle based travel, there are certainly many types of hiking, but backpacking is not the same as "Scaling The Seven Summits". This video was a lot more "Seven Summits" then it was wearing a backpack 🎒 to school.
Don't get me wrong, I love everything you do, but miss labelling it, or lumping it all under one name doesn't make it cooler. Even if it makes it more profitable. Infact, for many who are too shy to say, it is very much the opposite. And for those who don't know; they likely never will due to the massive amount of incorrect information circulating on the inter webs. Ignorance can be bliss.
If nothing else these comments should get you some engagement. You're welcome 🤗
What song is used while 21 min stamp
How the hell the car started after a night of shut down😢
@craig_pester is an absolute legend! Local celebrity. Loved the adventure, gents!
@pesterc
He's the man!
@@LifestyleOverland I had a chance to learn you were coming back up for the Kodiak adventure but couldn't be around to accidentally meet you in person. Maybe some year when you're back 🙌
