37s do look awesome! I'm curious to see the final product. As others discussed, I think it is important to recognize the difference in people's vehicles based on the intended uses and general wants. People "Overland" Unimogs when a stock old 4Runner will do. It's all a matter of enjoying your...

Well this looks exciting! Puts Christmas gifts to shame.

What an awesome trip with an even better ending. That thing looks great! And it's already got some miles under her. What all was done to it to officially make it a Prospector?

Looks like a great trip! I like single car travel but something feels much grander about a convoy, even a two-car expedition. I'm hoping to convince some of my friends to do one of these trails with me. Thanks for the write-up!

Wow this looks like a great trip! You found some awesome little niche places to see. I'm adding a lot of these to my next trip list. Thanks for the write up!

Those are some great pictures! Any close calls or were y'all a good ways from most of the wildlife?

Congratulations! That looks great! AEV always does such good looking work. The hood, the wheels, the bumpers... It's all just right.

What 'Shovel' said. I've gotten a lot of compliments on how new mine still looks and I know a lot of that comes from keeping the black plastic looking new. Once a little mud gets on the fenders, they are a PAIN to get back to black unless they're washed immediately. Lots of 'Back to Black'...

I think there's definitely the potential of this looking cool! Especially if you can get it recessed enough to not obstruct the view.

Now as far as lessons learned go, there were MANY! What we did right: 1) Taking a full 14-days to really let our minds forget about work for a while. 2) Roof top tent to sleep off the ground and keep dirt out (also a negative on this one too) 3) Leaving room in the budget to grab a hotel, a...

Going through Titus Canyon was gorgeous. The steep drop offs, the reds, the yellows, the old buildings, the history. It was such a cool drive. ^^ Air bags in the rear were still aired up even though we took out all our camping gear and left it at the site. Then we went...

Now on to the audible. Death Valley. We had originally planned to stay in Sequoia another day and then basically book-it home to Houston. However, with it being so cold and wet, we headed to the desert to see what all the hype everyone writes about is all actually like. Wow. We drove across...

As we got back to Visalia, we triple and quadruple checked the weather. From here on out there should be no more rain or snow…. Just really cold temperatures. Time to get back up into Sequoia! We grabbed some snow chains, flashed our NP pass, and drove on into the park. We passed our upcoming...

The Hotel was a good call; Dry room, dry tent, heat, and a real shower. The next morning we woke up with a new vigor for the day. We picked up a coffee and headed up Sierra Drive into the mountains. As we broke the “flat” land, the sky started becoming dark. As we pulled up to the entrance...

Thanks everyone! The following day, instead of taking the long way around to Yosemite Valley, we opted for a more tree filled hike near Wawona and did the Grizzly Giant trail in the Mariposa Grove of Sequoias. At home I have a few pine trees in my yard so I genuinely thought I knew tall...

We’ve learned our idea of overlanding can fall a little short since we try to prioritize hiking as well. And since most of the best hikes are in NPs, we have so far found ourselves camping at normal campgrounds. The next couple parks wouldn’t be much different. The next morning, we took the 5...

After a few days in Big Bend, we broke camp and began our trek further west toward LA. We completely planned to camp out in the BLM campgrounds west of Phoenix. However, we've never done that before and after arriving in Phoenix after dark, we were a little worried about camping in either the...

This is a trip report of our 6,000-mi road trip out west in 14-days back at beginning of November 2020. Also, this is not true overlanding. I just want to get that out there. We started from Houston, TX and made our way west to Big Bend NP, then further to Los Angelos, CA, up to Sequoia NP...

That was a great write up of a pretty epic trip! Even though y'all had some set backs, it still sounds like Baja travel is not too unsafe.

Love watching your channel and am excited for this new build and adventure. As much as I love having everything enclosed in the cab of an SUV, the Gladiator does tick all the right boxes of a strong, durable overland vehicle. I think you made a great choice!
