Why do you add your channel's name in the title of the video? You don't need to do that. Only people who have no social media skills do this. Great video though.
Happy to have had this older vid find its way to my feed. REALLY nice to see a bunch of regular rigs out having fun on a cool trail. It showcasing the East, with our nemesis, mud, is a HUGE bonus. Far too many West Coast focused videos.
I have an 03 Sequoia that I just ordered some springs for. More altitude coming soon! Love the videos too, getting out on the back roads with our kids is the best leisure time we spend.
Awesome! Maybe even this 73 year old guy can enter in. The rain and mists of the hills makes you understand the melancholy music of our Appalachian Mountains. It's my home but farther north in Maryland.
+Bill Sprague Thanks so much, Bill! You should join in with a few locals and get out there too! We grew up in the hills of East Tennessee ourselves and love coming home to these mountains. Though I must admit, the allure of the west keeps us away most of the time.
I owned a Jeep Wrangler and traded it in for a 4runner but never took it off roading. The Jeeps and the Raptor made it look easy. I'll probably get another Jeep one of these days just to go on a trip like this.
I’m in the group of East Tennessee overlanders and for anyone that is not already in the group or has road in any of the group rides I recommend the group it is a great group too be in
Hopefully I can my dad and me was really wanting too go to the 2018 winter ride but my Jeep was broke down and my dad wants too be able too take both our jeeps and not just one
Does it make sense that it was so much easier for a Jeep, both Jeeps did it pretty easily but those were soem decently built 4Runners as well. I always thought they were on par?
+Grant Ubando Haha, thanks! You'll just have to plan some long weekends to hit Big Bend or Southeast New Mexico. The Amarillo area has some fun spots on the Canadian River too.
Very cool video, the jeeps where just beasts, as well as the Raptor, which was surprising, but the Tacos were representing as well. Looked like a great weekend...
None of the trucks really excelled over the others. Each had their good and bad moments. Ultimately, experience played far more of a role than the vehicles.
Looked awesome! Currently building my 2017 Ram 1500 once it gets a lift and some new rubber I need to hit some trails! This video really makes me wanna get out and trail ride.
+ll1l2l1l2lll The team spirit was strong with this group! Had a good friend helping with the shots, but we both got pelted pretty good! Thanks for watching!
Very nice job! That was a great combination (and proportion) of narrative, action shots, shot variety, overview, etc. That looks like a great place to explore.
Like the vid. I see some cars ready for the challenge as some that are clearly not. Folks need to lift their rigs a as well too. Thats how you avoid slamming the side of that nice truck on to rocks.
+Free Thinker A lot of good lessons were learned on this trip. A lot of mods were installed afterwards too ;-) Sometimes you just have to run what you have though and learn your limitations. We all find them eventually no matter the mods.
Thanks for making another awesome video. I have really enjoyed watching your adventures out west. Living in TN this one was closer to home so that was an added bonus. How do you connect with other overlanders? I would love to get some more experience on the trails.
+Matthew Cole Hey, glad you enjoyed it! First thing I would do for locating others to learn with is join www.overlandbound.com forums and check out your regional forum for individuals and groups in your area. Also, there is a link in the description of this video for the East Tennessee Overlander's Facebook page that has a ton of great folks who are on the trails just about every weekend.
A friend and I are starting to outfit a gen3 4runner and a 2010 Tacoma. We are setting out for AZ over spring break from Nashville for what looks to be a 2 week excursion. This is all new to us and we've been prepping our toyotas since the new year with a Sonoran Steel 3" and 285's. Our roof top tents should be here within 2 weeks and we've been adding some ancillary equipment here and there.
@@LifestyleOverland you did do it!! Dude I literally ate popcorn while viewing this video. Man and machine against nature. I enjoyed watching those vehicles struggle like a baby taking its first steps. Struggle is good tho. Makes u better for the next trip. Every vehicle has strength n weakness. The driver only as good as his truck will allow. The truck only as good as it's drivers skill level. Give n take
Awesome video mate, wish i had the $$$ to ship my 2012 79 series Landcruiser over and spend even 3 - 4 months over there... Australia is great, but i have been around it 3 times now and know i will never get to see it all so 4 wheeling in the states is next on my bucket list..... wish i could add a photo
+Jurgen Van den bergen That's so awesome! Australia is on our bucket list, but first we need to hit Alaska 😊. Be sure and look us up if you ever make it to the states. Are you a member on www.overlandbound.com forums? I'd love for you to share your adventures with us on there.
Why don't you guys just leave the vehicles where they are and swap countries for a period of time? Not exactly the same experience but you can always plan the vehicle move in the future. You would also get to experience another vehicle with the direct assistance of the owner.
IMHO the only regions of America worth moving halfway around the world for are the North West-ish region(Wyoming, Dakota's, Idaho, Montana, Washington) and Alaska. The reason I say this is because though there are some good long trails throughout the rest of the country, they're few and far between. It's difficult to find a quality multi-day, several hundred mile expeditions in these more populated areas. For example I live in Northern New England, specifically New Hampshire. And as rural as it is up here, the only decent areas around for true overlanding are in Northern Maine. Forests are simply too thick for old logging trails to preserve long, and local laws make it difficult to 4x4 anyway. Alaska and the North Western states I mentioned are really where you would want to be. And be prepared for a muuuuuch different climate than the Outback! Good luck if you come! Have you ever met Ronny Dahl out there?!
@@bassage13 It doesn't matter. The GC outsells the 4Runner 3 to 1 in the US whilst the Camry, Corolla and Rav4 outsell all similar american vehicles. Why?

@@bassage13 Are you kidding? Mountains, valleys, deserts and every rough path in the US are plenty with Jeeps. Even in Serbia Jeeps have to rescue Toyotas: th-cam.com/video/SfSFKxPgxIs/w-d-xo.html (especially after minute 7). I guess you don't watch videos on TH-cam very often, don't you? lol
+Deathless2288 With the exception of that last nasty spot, yes it will. The overall clearance of those vehicles will limit you somewhat, but there's still a lot of fun to be had overlanding within the limitations of those rigs. Just learn what you can and can't do.
Drove a jeep wrangler for years; stock everything that thing would pound its way through anything I could throw at it. Sucked in almost every other way, but that, and it looked cool. Awesome vid.
None of the trucks really excelled over the others. Each had their good and bad moments. Ultimately, experience played far more of a role than the vehicles.
well my point of view is those jeeps are based on military technology and meant for this hobbie, and the others are just daily drivers city trucks, so its silly to see those cars with regular suspension and tires on these trips. that f150 tho!
Jeeps of today are a far cry from the days of Willys jeeps. And the Willys were comparable to tractors like most Military vehicles of its day. Not a bad thing by the way just new trucks have come a long way and can be far more capable than their military brethren.

If you pay attention most of the were heavy loaded, they had to attempt climbing that somewhat slow, if they were empty shoould have done what the raptor's dude did, push the gas pedal, also when off-roading never under estimate the driver's skill, this is 70% part of the success, an unexperienced driver won't fare well on those trails.
If your talking about 10:35, most of the other vehicles had campers and equipment luggage. I didn't see that Jeep have anything, except for what looked like a little backpack behind the spare. That's something to take note when out overlanding.

Great to see Ford, Toyota, Nissan and Jeep people hanging out together and having fun.

Great vid. Love the fact that there were various brands of rigs..
+TWENTY EIGHT Thanks! It really was a great group.
Lifestyle Overland: hey man, at the minute 1:35. What is the purpose of the rope wire attached from the roof rack to the hood.?? thanks in advance
It helps push tree branches and brush away from the windshield.
Lee Mims thanks for the info
They are called limb risers
The wilderness, the challenges, and the triumphs - this video encapsulates offroading bliss.
Tacomas, nissan, ford, hummer! all united all together! NICE !!!!!!!!!!
+Tacoma FAN Thanks for watching!
Awesome !
AWESOME! friendship, support, encouragement (ESPECIALLY among strangers) can't be underestimated. we ALL need it. thank you!
The worst part of this is the end, when you have to return to you daily routine on monday!
It’s the worse feeling that reality is coming back soon... 💔
Raptor said "i didnt pay 60K for nothin"
that ford raptor is no JOKE!
Raptor just puts it in "BEAST MODE" no winch needed
Loved the opening song, editing, videography, and the warmth that this video brings to the car community.
Thanks so much!
I love that you guys put in the work to fix that trail. Respect.
Thanks!
Thank you... for not using the stereotypical obnoxious music and overproduction. Very enjoyable vid. Well done.
First overland video I've seen with a 1st gen Sequoia. Love it!
They're out there! Glad you liked it!
I have an 03 Sequoia that I just ordered some springs for. More altitude coming soon! Love the videos too, getting out on the back roads with our kids is the best leisure time we spend.
Great to see so many rigs enjoying the trails. We love the scenery in eastern Tennessee and Kentucky.
I remember watching this video when it was posted years ago. One of the biggest determining factors of buying my 3rd gen taco.
Lol the Raptor " hold my beer "
Hats off to your crew for clearing and rebuilding the trail. Way to pay it forward.
That Raptor though!!👍👀
Awesome! Maybe even this 73 year old guy can enter in. The rain and mists of the hills makes you understand the melancholy music of our Appalachian Mountains. It's my home but farther north in Maryland.
+Bill Sprague Thanks so much, Bill! You should join in with a few locals and get out there too!
We grew up in the hills of East Tennessee ourselves and love coming home to these mountains. Though I must admit, the allure of the west keeps us away most of the time.
This reminds me of my youth, o how i miss it, thumbs up a thousand times!
Thanks so much for the comment! If you miss it... maybe you need to get back out there!
Now this is what 4WDs were designed for. I could watch these videos and go on these trips all day.
+231MasseyFerguson Thanks for watching!
This looks like a LOT of fun.. So awesome to see. Very calming narration too.
This is just so awesome, better than any tv show. Enjoyed watching.
+billshreeveable Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the way the music fits with the videos.
I hope this group stays together. The wife and I are retiring and moving to eastern Tennessee in seven years. Have fun out there.
I'm sure it will! You'll love TN. I was born and raised there before moving to the Southwest.
Makes me rethink the idea of getting an overland trailer! I'll just rig up my Tundra with all the fun stuff :)
There are certainly pros and cons to every setup.
Thinking of a similar idea with a Ford F150 sometime in the mid future.
Hey Guys, great video. Nothing better than wheeling in the mud, snow and rain.
Great video, and it's great to see that you pretty much answer everyone that comments. Must be that friendly NM nature.
+Mary Jo Carrillo Thanks! Haha, we love the interaction! It's partly New Mexico and partly Tennessean 😉

+LumberJake Thanks for watching!
Great video. I loved everything from the music to the off roading action.
Glad you liked it!
Did NOT love the noise ( music ? ).
I know nothing of the "off-road" lifestyle, but that was so enjoyable to watch, thank you!
+TheWarpartyofone Thanks for watching!
Uplifted my spirit! I would love to join the outlanders some day! From North east India 🇮🇳
I really appreciate all the different types of vehicles from hummers, raptors and sequoia 👍🏻
I just wished they were actually good at off-roading its painful to watch as someone from an agriculture background.
This looks awesome. I want to do something like this someday. Love the Toyota representation btw :)
+SHADY3k Thanks! Hope to see you on the trail someday!
I owned a Jeep Wrangler and traded it in for a 4runner but never took it off roading. The Jeeps and the Raptor made it look easy. I'll probably get another Jeep one of these days just to go on a trip like this.

That's awesome, Blake! You going on the 2019 winter run?
Hopefully I can my dad and me was really wanting too go to the 2018 winter ride but my Jeep was broke down and my dad wants too be able too take both our jeeps and not just one
Love the Sequoia representing. Underrated machine
+cuysal It really is, too bad aftermarket parts are slim pickins!
Looked like it coulda used some more tire. But I love that it's there because they usually go overlooked.
to big for real trails tho
nothings too big to trail. just need to set it up and be prepared. more tire, winch and chainsaw and itll go anywhere. people trail unimogs
Adam Wilson Dude, Armed forces have used tanks and huge ass trucks, "too by for trails" my ass
I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna miss a thing...that raptor is awesome!
+Chuchi Santiago Raptors really are an awesome platform!
10:35 too easy for the Jeep 💪🏼
I agree!!!
Does it make sense that it was so much easier for a Jeep, both Jeeps did it pretty easily but those were soem decently built 4Runners as well. I always thought they were on par?
Fantastic video. Cool to see that there were many different vehicles.
+Jhon Castro Thanks! We accept rigs of all makes and models! Overlanding is all about what works best for you.

Nice to see youth is not wasted on the young!
