I Got My Van Stuck. I Wasn’t Making That Mistake Again.

Last year, I got my van stuck in a snowdrift. I was able to get out, but it taught me an important lesson: it’s better to have recovery gear and never need it than need it and not have it.

In this video, I’m installing traction boards on my 2025 Toyota 4Runner before my next adventure. It should have been a quick project… but between missing hardware, a relentless bee, and the summer heat, it turned into more of a chore than I expected.

Whether you’re building an overlanding rig, preparing for solo travel, or just enjoy watching someone figure things out as they go, I hope this video helps.
