  • This week I wanted to touch base on whats coming for the channel over the coming months, and a bit of an inside scoop on why my content is lagging behind. I want to keep everyone informed on the channel, and also collect some data to help make this channel more entertaining for YOU. Give it a look and let me know what you think!
    More Tacoma, Land Cruiser, 4runner, and INEOS Grenadier content will be coming soon. More adventure content is in the works, and I will be soon showing you some ways to make your old Toyota gain some of the features of the next gen trucks!

    I'm 58 years old and owned Toyotas my driving life. I keep them for the long haul. I still own a 1996 Tacoma. Bought in 98 with 30,000 miles. My youngest son now drives it. I got my 2012 FJ in February. Gonna keep it to the end. Glad your keeping yours. Looking forward to the upgrades as I too will be wanting to do some. I also like your travel and adventure videos.

      @@IndependenceOverland Thanks! It would have to be after the SEMA show. Toyota holds measuring session for aftermarket suppliers there. So they prefer me showing detailed stuff after that. The press vehicle may not be available till the new year, even the non-hybrid (seems to be a little delayed).

  • @overland_adventure_nz
    @overland_adventure_nz Před 8 měsíci

    Well @independent overland, I feel with some of your past videos and comments that you may have a new Land Cruiser coming.
    But I personally hope I’m wrong and you are going ahead with a new Ineos Grenadier because that would be a very interesting US building project and a different direction to what most people down under were built.
    I’m personally considering ordering myself a Grenadier and building it up a bit different to 90% of the world market with my personal experience working on and helping built a number of Africa Overland touring trucks for 20+ passengers camping tours back in the 1990’s before returning home to downunder.

    • @IndependenceOverland

  • @dustytraildiaries
    @dustytraildiaries Před 8 měsíci +1

    Stoked for the new stuff coming for the FJ! Love the content, and I think me and probably many others are here for the outdoor videos more than the new Land Cruiser or tacoma videos - there's definitely plenty of that already, and the overlanding and outdoor content you put out is awesome. It sounds like the new build will be something new, sounds like you've already had some deposits down etc. Wondering if you'd ever build an older Toyota for the channel? Thinking like an 80 series, pickup, early-gen taco or tundra, etc. I'd love to see more of the bigger overlanding channels do a build on something that's not the latest and greatest.

    • @IndependenceOverland
      @IndependenceOverland  Před 8 měsíci +1

      I have absolutely thought about older Toyotas a million times. The problem right now, is that I professionally take care of a fleet of older trucks so I know how much of a pain it can be. With my limited time to produce content as it is, an older vehicle would put me in the shop more. So for right now, newer, reliable vehicles will be the direction I go. But once I can make videos full time, I will have time to tackle some seriously cool stuff and put my professional skill set to work! I’ve got ideas!

    • @IndependenceOverland
      @IndependenceOverland  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Thanks Chris! The disconnect system is impressive. If your GX doesn’t have the KDSS I don’t see why it couldn’t. The front end of a GX vs a Fj are nearly identical as far as I understand.

    Nicely done again Tyler. Have you upgraded the rear axle on the FJ Cruiser? I also run an Alu Cab RTT and awning up top on my ‘19 4Runner TRD Pro and it gets heavy! I know in the past you had mentioned a Dana? Thanks. Tom

    • @IndependenceOverland
      @IndependenceOverland  Před 8 měsíci

      Yes I have, I have the Diamond axle which utilizes the 80 series Land Cruiser differential. So its a 9.5" beefy setup! Your 4R should have the 8.2" if I am not mistaken, which is much stronger than what my Fj had from the factory. But since I run heavy, I figured it would be a worthwhile way to spend some money. I would very surprised if I even blow the rear diff up, I am pretty light footed!
      Good choice on the Alucab!

    If I had a say, the smaller land cruiser would be called the 240 FJ. Why? Why not.
    Also, bro that sway bar disconnect system would be a god send. I have a homemade system that's worked good so far but I'm just waiting to hit it's failure point and mess something up. Guess I'll become a Patreon I honestly can't say there's many channels that I've watched consistently over the years.
