The FJ Cruiser and Jared's Turbo Diesel XJ finally took an overland trip to the North Maine Woods for an adventure to find fall foliage. For months I have been wanting to take an extended overland trip and finally got a little taste of the full experience. North Maine is a beautiful place to be in the fall and offers many places to roam. Over the 4 day span, we got to experience everything from bridge collapses to mud pits.
This experience will be the first of many... stay tuned.
Huge thanks to everyone involved.

Probably the best FJ video that I've ever watched. Content and editing are fantastic.
Thank you! More on the way 👊🏼
My wife and I absolutely love the mountains in the north Maine woods. We stayed at the Abol bridge campground in 2019 with my brother and his wife. One of the best vacations we’ve ever had.
Definitely a beautiful place, I need to make it back soon!
the look of a tough-revved FJ makes me hanker ardently to own one in the offing . . .
Love the edit dude. Here's to next time!
Absolutely, can't wait!
Great video, I love Maine! We go up to Cupsuptic Lake in Rangeley every summer, they have some great remote campsites, absolutely stunning landscape in that area. What's the name of the campground near Mt Katahdin that you guys stayed at? I've been working on planning a North Maine Woods trip and go further north and that looks like a great stop. Also, very nice editing!
Sounds like a sick trip! That is Abol Bridge Campground on the outskirts of Baxter State Park and was the final day on our trip because it allowed for us to quickly leave and hit the road the following day! Thanks for watching!
@@OutboundIntent Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply!
Great video, amazing footage. Just subscribed. I'm planing to do a 4 day overland in the North Maine Woods this summer. Your video has me even more excited. I've hiked all of the AT in Maine and summited Kathadin twice.
Thank you for your support 👊 the North Maine Woods has been my favorite place to overland on the East Coast so far. There is an endless amount of area to roam. I definitely want to go back and summit Khatadin.
Great show.. it made me homesick for Maine.. The sound volume kept going up and down making it hard to watch this video.
Keystone carry!
Indeed it is haha
Keep tire chains in the fj in the winter time if you off-road. It doesn't hurt to have that as a back up. Great video by the way. I love my fj too!
Sick FJ! new sub here in pa your videos deff help my decision on picking up an fj this week. 🤘🤘
No way man good to hear! What color?
Cool adventure Amigo
The start of many, thanks for watching 👊
Awesome video. Keep going. Greetings from Germany mate
Thanks for watching 👊
New sub 🇨🇦🍻
Thanks for joining 👊
Nice FJ👍 working on getting my 60series back on the road by the end of the year. Also the family and I are heading up for pur yearly trip to the NMW in a couple weeks. Fantastic place
Man that is awesome! Any cool spots you would be willing to share with me? I want to head up again shortly
@@OutboundIntent there's so much to see and do since it's a giant place lol. I think if you're gonna camp, Leadbetter Falls site is probably the best one for a first time stay over. We are going to try Big Bog this year but we've stayed in a few others so far. Honestly most the sites are excellent so you can't go wrong with any really. Lost Pond site is good and has a sweet little trail to get into. Def need 4x4 for that one. But I do most my exploring during partridge season. We end up riding the roads looking for birds. Grab the Gazeteer and just go lol.
Do you have a link for those head lights? Great videos
fj all day. never been a jeep guy. and what camera do you use?
In this video, a Sony A7III and an R6 was used. Now I just use an R6!
@@OutboundIntent nice. quality looks real good
Great video. Question. Have you replaced your needle bearing in your front diff??
Nope, haven’t needed to yet. Why?
@@OutboundIntent I was just curious if yours needed it. I just replaced mine. I noticed a vibration after the lift.
Cool video makes me want to take my FJ into Maine... Your voice gets lost in the background music somewhat.
Thanks for watching! I can definitely agree with that... I am working on improving my voiceovers as a whole
Keep itnup
Thank you sir 👊
what suspension sir?
What lake did you camp on? That was an epic location!
I believe it was Cuagomac Lake, for most of the season it’s probably unable to be camped on because the water is too high. We just got lucky!
I have my RTT mounted just like you do, but how in the heck did you mount your awning? What mounts gave you enough clearance from the tent? I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks.
Great question! I used the L brackets from the awning mount and put those under the tent mounting points. So technically that side sits up a little higher but you wouldn’t notice it… the biggest con is that it’s a lot of weight sitting up there.
Shoot me a DM on my Instagram page (@outboundintent) and I can send some photos
If only a Fj cruiser with 150k miles wasn't 40k. I want a new one so bad tooooooooo
Yeah it really sucks for anyone wanting to get into an FJ right now 😬
I'm looking at a 07 with 172k miles, and they want 14k, trading my platinum tundra for it.
How are you liking the FJ with no fender flares? Any issues with rocks hitting the body, etc?
Love the look and honestly there is most likely slightly more rock chips but nothing too crazy haha
The Maine Woods are private property and we are indebted to the owners that they allow us to enjoy it. Next time, check at the gate about cutting their live trees, leave that chain saw home.
No live trees were cut, chainsaws are a necessity when that remote as fallen trees may be needed to be cut out of the way
9:44 on your video, clearing the trail.
@mikebarney5310 clearing a marked trail that has weedy brush on it is not cutting live trees
Great trip folks! Great State of Maine awesome footage guys thanks for sharing Good Stuff 👍 👍🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸 The Vermonter and Legal American!!
Thank you! More to come 👊
