    NWA trail heads?

    I technically live in the midwest region but I am only an hour from Bentonville. Are there any good day trips in the NWA area for a newer off roader? I used to have a rock crawler and it didn't matter if I ran into things. Now I will be taking my daily driver so I don't to get on too hard...

    Missouri?

    Joplin MO here (South West corner). Would love to get together with some overlanders and learn about this new hobby.

    Looking for upgrade advice

    Bumpers are crazy expensive if you ask me! I do want some protection from large obstacles but you can spend my entire budget on bumpers. I think you are correct. For my purposes, light to medium trails, I can get more capability from other upgrades.

    Looking for upgrade advice

    I want the look, of course, but also trail performance. I will not be doing technical trails in this, as its my daily driver, but I plan to do some mild off roading and logging/fire road exploring. Hoping to keep the wheels & tires, lift, and bumper upgrades under $3k.

    New Rig

    Plans are small lift, upgraded wheels & tires, lights, roof rack, and possibly a RTT. I haven’t decided on that yet.

    Did you ever find anything out about overland trails in MO or NWA? I am in the SW part of MO too and would like some places to take the family.

    2017 TRD Sport test drive

    I sent it back for those same reasons. The front tires rubbed and nearly broke the fender flare loose. It definitely was built half ass

    2017 TRD Sport test drive

    I am test driving a 2017 TRD Sport and I have some questions. 1. The inner fenders are gone since it already has a small lift and upgraded tires. Is that going to cause issues with wiring and lights? 1a. Is there a splash guard kit or something to install in place of the inner...

    Thank you! I joined the facebook group. Do you happen to know if there are any trails in the Mark Twain National Forrest that would be good for a day trip?

    I’m new to the Overland community. I am getting my Tacoma delivered this week. I live in the very southwest corner of MO. In fact I drive from MO, through KS, into Ok everyday for my job. The resort I work at actually sits in all three states. We are also about 45 minutes from the AR border. I...
