Sorry mate, wanna ask about ur phone n tablet mount.. can u share with me what type that did u use? Coz it seems very nice :)
Welcome to kerala
Zeke is living like a King guys!!! We play with him daily and loves the dairy dog life! I bet you if they would pull up to come get him he wouldn’t get in lol!!!
Zeke has it made!!
I do not speak your language, but that does not stop me from watching your videos. I like them all. I'm in love with motorhome ... etc. A big hug of follower of Brazil. 😁 Google translation.
Muito obrigado! Que bom que você gosta! (Google)
That is the toughest decision ever... to me dogs are family, they aren't pets, they are kids. I've got 3 dogs (had 4, 1 past away in January 😢) I know how you guys feel. Prayers the doggie gets better.
It was tough... He's doing great though! Getting updates regularly. Thanks for watching!
Thank you guys for sharing this adventure with your sweet little family. The good, the bad, and all. It’s a fun adventure to come along while I’m on call working in a hospital. Keeps me connected with the outdoors. Quite inspiring. Hope everything is OK with your wife’s family.
Thanks so much for the support! We really love hearing all the comments on howing we help inspire and motivate... It motivates us so much more! Thanks for watching!
Great video as always! We love the Cosby area and that’s where we choose to stay when we’re visiting the Smoky Mountains. We have made a lot of friends there during our travels through the years and a special shout-out to Mrs Dawn and the fine folks at Carver’s Apple Orchard and Family Restaurant, they’re awesome and serve the best apple fritters with apple butter for sure! Great to see y’all and looking forward to your next video. Safe travels! 👍
This made me cry 😢 I know that wasn’t easy. But you guys made the right move. I’ve started watching your journey from the beginning since my first video was shortly after the Lexus build. I’m invested now.
You and your brother favor, big time. Good times, having family to share with.
Greetings from South Africa. We love following your adventures, but just a minute in today you had my wife in tears leaving Zeke behind. She's such a huge dog person and we love to travel with our dogs as well. Would love to travel in the USA one day, there seems to be so many beautiful places there.... almost as beautiful as here in sunny South Africa ;)
Thanks so much for the support! We sure miss our boy, but he is doing so good there! Let us know if you ever make it to the states!
I have a black lab mix that's 10 and showing signs of significant aging. Also she has a tumor on her side. It's heartbreaking knowing she's almost done. They're a part of the family. I wish you all well and have a safe journey!
It's so tough seeing them at this stage of their life. But, we have had some great times. Thanks for watching!
We lost our 8 year old chihuahua, Wilson, a few months back and it's never easy, even just to leave them to be taken care of. They're not just pets, they're family. Good decision to do something that, although hard emotionally, was what was best for his well being. Another great video as always!
Hey guy's, love the videos, my kids and I watch them all the time. Happy and safe travels to you and your beautiful family, cheers from Sydney Australia.
Looks like an y’all are having an awesome time!! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the trip offers!
Oh man... It's only getting started... I really can't wait to share! Thanks for the support!
It was great meeting your brother and you at SMOR. Great video as always. Safe travels and hope to see y’all next year at SMOR.
Great meeting you as well! Thanks for the support!
This has to be my favorite episode just because i live in Cosby just a few miles from were they held the overland rally this year.
Beautiful country up there!
You just made me really miss Kyrstals now. I miss the south. Safe travels.
Haha! I'm missing them too! Thanks for watching!
The Smoky Mountain Overland Rally is a great event! It was very nice meeting you!
Pretty cool video as always!! Met your brother Caleb and his family out at Nemo’s tunnel and did a little trail riding awesome family no doubt. Looking forward in the next month and hitting some more trails with Caleb!👍👊💥
That's awesome! Can't tell you how excited I am to see him getting into the pastime. Safe Travels!
First off, love your videos. My wife and I are new to subscribe to your videos and we enjoy the family aspect of it. Very inspiring.Question: what type of 4Runner do you have "Off-Road", "TRD PRO"? Also, for video editing what type of software do you use and for your CZcams intros and titles. I absolutely love it! Keep up the great work and we will continue to follow you.
-Retired USAF
As a 30 year professional dog trainer and one who travels all over the country with my black lab Charlie, I can say you did the right thing. Great video thanks.
We appreciate the support. It was a tough call, but he's doing great.
Something you guys should try to make if you haven’t made it already is gutted jalapeño peppers filled with cream cheese wrapped in bacon grilled
Another great video. Was talking to a coworker the other day, and we both started talking about your videos. It was great. Both were finishing each other thoughts on videos. Pretty cool that we both watched the same video the day before. Neither knew that the other was watching them. Haha. Is it crazy that sometimes I wear my Lifestyle Overland tshirt 2 days on a row? Safe travels.
Oh wow! That's so cool! We've also been surprised at just who is watching. Folks stop us at gas stations, restaurants, etc. and tell us they saw us on CZcams. It's crazy! Even had several folks in Deadhorse that watch! Love it!
Another fantastic video. Best on CZcams. Best of luck to you guys
I just came across your channel a few days ago and have been getting caught up on your videos. I'm from Maryville and when I first saw your face I could have sworn you were a former coworker. He actually looks more like you than your brother does, do you have any cousins or other relatives in Blount county? So at the very least you have a doppelganger.
I'm enjoying your videos and yeah, Krystal burgers are the best!
I've heard rumors of a clone sighting in that area... But unless there's a twin my mom isn't telling me about, I have no idea who it could be 😉
Omg I wish knew y’all were there I would loved to say hello; I live in the city of Tyler and ride my bike at that park. Tyler State Park has some of the best mountain bike trails in Texas. Love watching your videos, been slowly fixing up my 4Runner for my overland adventures soon.
It's such a great park! We are going to start doing some meet ups as we travel so we can connect with you all. We will let you know when and where!
That toyo bold overland is beautiful wow such green mountains, here in CA aaaaa not so much
Oh man! Oh man! I cried a lot.....
Us too...
Love watching, always look forward to the next one. Sorry about the pup but I do understand. :-(
Thanks for the support and kind words.
Nothing like a good ole Krystal when you've been away for a while. And a nice talk glass of Mayfield milk. They're ice cream is pretty good too.
Hi guys - not sure if you answered this in an earlier video - at this point you're running all-terrain tyres, but have you had your suspension modified from stock at this point in your journey? I see a lot of lifted jeeps, but your 4runner looks pretty normal albeit with upgraded tyres. Enjoying the video and happy that I have lots to watch before I catch up.
Sometime hard to make decision are hard but for the best. Ahhh Crystal cheese burger...Can't beat them!
Thanks for watching! Really appreciate the support.
I love me some Krystal's but they are easily beaten by White Castle
While I understand and appreciate the reason for leaving Zeke behind, maybe that should have been something considered with more thought and trials before becoming nomads.
How so?
When the Mountains call . . . You gotta go!
"help you out", mention overlanding on any forum and they'll laugh you out of there... made that mistake when i bought my 2016 tacoma TRD OR... have been into offroading, but I really want to do some traveling around this country of ours and see some sights.. slowly building my tacoma up to get it there.. should be another year or so and i will be well on my way. currently on stock size 265/65/16 yokohama geolandar AT's, 1.25" wheel spacers (in prep for some 285/75/16s on the stock TRD wheels), pop lock kit, soft tyger tonneau cover, ordering the max-modular 18" bed rack with the tonneau mounts in 2 weeks (payday) so I retain my tonneau covers use. I will also be ordering the ARB Simpson III RTT. after that it will be the front bumper (SSO hybrid w 20" LED bar/winch), sliders, and rear bumper, then it will be suspension time looking at the OME BP51's with OME 888 springs, and rear heavy duty leafs for a 3" lift.. then tires.. eventually gears...
What do you expect, if you're on the internet there is always going to be assholes.
It is so sad to know how this turned out. Zeke RIP.
Nice Video. You did what was best for your dog.
B roll was on point this episode.
Looks like White Castle burgers. Living up north in Pa now, I miss Bojangles chicken.
You need to make a pit stop in South Africa, great over landing opportunities 😉
Sorry for the doggy. As for the burger, looks like a decent clone of the White Castle, so hell yeah, eat a dozen.
Thanks for watching! I'm craving some right now...
Is this a Toyota advertisement? Ha, I love my Tacoma, don't think I would ever get a 4 runner. Very happy with Toyota so far. As for Krystal, I think we may have them out West, but the only burgers I eat now days are Carl's Jr.
Hello , We just wanted to say ever sense we found you Chanel we have enjoyed every exposed and on the same note we are very sorry about Zeke and pray that he can get better but you did make the right decision for his health . On another note I have noticed that on the interior head liner of your vehicle you have multiple patch attached to it so could you tell me how are you attaching them too it . And keep the great videos and be safe out there Gods Speed.
Fantastic!
Thanks guys!
Big prayers for your lab. It was tough when our lab died. That looked like Goff Dairy outside of Hobbs. I could be wrong it's been a long time since I was in Hobbs. We have deliberated a lot on moving to Red River, NM, but we have the same issues with our parents getting on up there in age. If something happens how do we get back to them especially if we are snowed in? Best of luck to you folks
Happy travels!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Q: you have loose items in the rear? Bumpy roads, situations, perhaps a cargo barrier/net?
Recently visited my dad in Georgia and Krystal Burger was the first thing I ate. Also what chair was that. Please do video on it.
Yes! Oh I'm so hungry now thinking about them... That is an Oz Tent chair. I can't remember the model name but it's on their website. Thanks for watching!
Another great Vid! Also love the song at 6'27"... What is it, please Kevin :)
"So Many Words" - Nadja Alsen (www.epidemicsound.com)
Awesome content
Thanks for watching!
Yo must have done some overlanding to get from El Paso to Hobbs. Prather Memorial Highway, aka gravel road across north Fort Bliss?
Oh yeah Krystal burgers. Awesome. I think trhey might even surpass the innovator, White Castle.
How long will you guys be on the east coast. You planning on making it to the overland expo east event at the beginning of Nov?
We are definitely planning on making it to Expo East! Currently in Fairbanks now 😁
Lifestyle Overland fantastic! Would love to meet you guys. Have been following you for a bit now. We will be at the expo probably sat.
Awesome! Seeya there!
Man y’all where in Tyler Texas? I live just 45 minutes from there. I would have loved to meet y’all.
We are long gone from there since the videos lag real time... But hope to have some meetups when we roll back through!
Nice vídeo my friend
cOSBY IS A HELLUVA A PLACE TO HOLD A RALLY, ANYONE WHO LIVES NEARBY KNOWS YOU DONT DRIVE THROUGH SLOWLY WITH OUT OF STATE PLATES. LOL. bEAUTIFUL PLACE THOUGH, i MISS EAST TENNESSEE. DANDRIDGE, KODAK, SEVEIRVILLE KNOXVILLE, LAFOLLETTE_GREAT WHEELING IN LAFOLLETTE. BY THE WAY, RUN BY CARDINS DRIVE IN ON 11E YOULL LOVE IT
Cardins is the bomb too! Chilli dogs!
I just started watching a few of your videos loved it and decided to watch the whole season 1. and I am on season 1 episode 8(this video) I just want to know if the house you were in on episode 8 is ur house if so, why not just leave ur belongings there? or are u selling the house too? from Ethiopia
how do Krystal burgers compare to whitecastle and Whataburger? It appears that all of the Krystal places in Dallas have been closed.
I'm very involved in Dog rescue and see people have to make hard choices all the time. Ultimately, I think you guys made a good choice. He'll be there waiting when you get back. As I get started I plan to drag my dog Kaiser around a lot, but he's young and rides in the car pretty well.
Good luck and keep posting your story.
Honestly I've never had the other two to compare! I'll have to give them a try... Yeah, Zeke is having a blast with his temporary family. He has made himself right and home and get plenty of shade and AC! Thanks for the support!
Looks like we could make a comparison test happen, but it would require a little driving. There is a Whataburger in Baton Rouge, and Krystal and White Castle are both in New Orleans. So there is a future road trip for you. I havent seen any Overlanding videos done in swamps.
I have never had a Whataburger. The difference between White Castle and Krystal is that Krystal automastically puts mustard or theirs.
whataburger beats them all!!!! Texas!!!
Hmm, you might be on to something...
Have you tried White Castles -it so are they better ?
That would be super hard, glad to see you guys made the right decision though, probably wouldn't be a good out come for Zeke!
On the other hand I am super excited to see the upcoming videos of your adventure, I have been looking forward to them since the announcement!! Your Enchanted Rockies Series was what started me down this rabbit hole of getting a 4runner and planning my own adventures, I thank you for that, my bank account does not though!! lol
Thanks so much for the support! Glad we could help you boost the economy by getting an overland rig 😉. Well, we can't take it with us so better use it while we are here and able! 😁
do you take a vacation? or plan to? if so what do you do in ur vacation?
Wait a minute..did y’all get the trailer through a Starbucks drive thru?!
It's designed to go ANYWHERE the 4Runner goes 😁. Didn't even have to jack and drop it!
Oh we see how it is, get rid of the wife and kid and bust out the steaks!😁
Oh yeah and the humidity
I like your channel
Thanks!
Hello,could-you-please-explain-how-you-hooked-up-your-fridge.
No drama!
Moved to the UAE 3 years ago. Had every intention of taking our dog with us. Even picked out an apartment that was dog friendly.
3 years later our dog is still living with my parents. It was a much better fit for him then the 14 hour flight. 😥
It's a tough call, but it's hard to completely change their routine especially when they are older. Thanks for the support.
What is your favorite GoPro cam to use?
We have the GoPro 4 but want one of the new ones!
@@LifestyleOverland I have the 5 black but want the handle to it so I can start making videos. Soon though soon! I've put on the new grill and headlights set up for my rig and got 4 new tires the other day along with other goodies I'm gonna start adding this month so it's a work in progress. I'll start filming when I get my stick for my gopro to make better quality vids
Awesome that you guys are able to do this kind of adventure!!!! I’m jealous. But how does one do this with the family and afford it? I’m always curious about that kind of stuff. Are you guys able to earn $$ somehow? Sorry if this is too personal to answer. I totally understand. Anyway best wishes and safe travels. Keep up the vids.
+Tri Ha Thanks so much for the support! We definitely dont have the budget figured out 100% yet but we have several small income streams that help keep us going. We will eventually make a video to talk about our methods.
So weird following you on IG and this being so far behind. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't make a difference, but it throws me off. :)
Yeah I totally understand! We could have just went dark until it came together on the editing side but we have enjoyed sharing our travels and getting real-time suggestions. Lots of fun stuff in the queue!
What's the odometer reading on the 4runner?
The second I saw Caleb I said to myself; that has to be a close relative...
OMG! Did you have to choose which baby to feed to the dingos? Like, Sophie's Dingo?
Poor Zeke :(
Who starts singing at 6:32?
Hmm, I really can't recall! We use music from Epidemic Sound so you can find them there. I'll be attaching the song info starting with episode 18 tonight!

@@chrislafty Nice!
👍
What is that Krystal unnatural burger doing to your gut microbiome?!?! Why, yes.... I am from California. How did you know? hehe (actually it looked fabulous)
Ahahaha! It keeps me regular... That's for sure 😉. Good thing I don't live there...
You and Caroline are adorable, why your wife is always unhappy?, never seen her being loving with you, a kiss?. She gets mad every time you ask her, "What's for dinner?" Be HAPPY mother!!!
Hmm, you need to keep watching... And no, she doesn't get mad, you're just misinterpreting her. Thanks for watching!
@@LifestyleOverland Thank you. Yes you are right, saw other videos, your wife is a beautiful young lady. He disfrutado y aprendido muchísimo con sus viajes!! Abrazos a la familia!! 🐨
i cant understand such a decission. we also have a dog - never ever i could give her away, she's part of our family, like a child.
Didn't give him away. Put him in the best place for his health while we travel.
hope for him to get back to you guys soon :/
We are with him now.
I prefer white castle over krystals lol
Все круто, только фастфудов много кушаете!
My dogs ARE family. I would never leave them behind especially if they are getting old and having health issues. Should I decide that I wish to pursue some other type of lifestyle which did not include dogs I would postpone until I no longer had any. The fact is that Zeke will always wonder what he did wrong that you left him. I pray that I will NEVER have to make that decision.
I have decided to unfollow this channel, due to the fact that you like Krystal Burger, White Castle is far superior and came first........JK, i will never leave this channel! but White Castle is still my favorite, lol. great video as usual.
Haha! Well, I'm going to have to give White Castle a try and find out! Thanks for watching!
You should be able to find them anywhere in the midwest. you can also get frozen ones in all major grocery stores, but they are better hot and fresh.
when you have decided to become a parent,youre top priority now is not of yourself anymore,but is of your children well being,you ought to think of your chindren,more than you ought to think of yourself.when you want to serve yourselves then stay single,that no child future will be compromise .
