I was pessimistic about FL, but after checking out Everglades trails on youtube, I might give it a second thought. It's nothing like Australian outback, but good enough for US.

Stock Jeep's and 4rumners will take me to places, but add payload, a boat, corrogations, and survival equipment and food supply, and the risk of breakdown increases. I don't really care for as to if I drvie a Mercedez or a bike so as long as it doesn't break. The landcruiser 40, 60, 80, and now...

I'm not talking about designated trails here and there. I'm talking about driving open country in any direction for at least 3 days without any regulation as to who's land i'm driving over. No laws, no people, no nothing but the wild, the sun, and the dirt underneath the tires. This is safely...

Looks nice, just curious though... how would you compare Ocala to something like the South Bight or the kalahari? Is it just a weekend place or is it something you can drive for days on? If it's different, does Florida have anything similar or remote?

the whole point of overlanding is to be off the grid. by putting yourselves in this forum, you are doing yourself a disservice. the best thing to do is to get a real truck, like a 79 series and drive 3 days into the wilderness with a buddy or two. there is no point in going on designated...

The guy has a point you know. There's no point in hopping on the me-too bandwagon when it's much longer than the support for his claims. I dont agree with either OB or OB Fake because the primary target group here is the US. The US is very different then the rest of the world in overlanding...

sucks to see the vehicle disparity across the globe. wish mike could have a say about what he thinks about this

Why is this law even allowed? I'm sure Americans would buy big gm trucks over tiny foreign pickups even if they were half the price. The law doesn't allow for free trade as we have with food, electronics, and even many other materials here. There is nothing free about this law and forces...

It wont be cheaper when literally every part will have to be come from US and made in there, even though most Tojos are built domestically. At that point, it would be just as costly to buy a hilux with a nice 25% tax on it. Even though they cant tow, the mining trucks are extremely reliable, and...

NAFTA is the only reason why car companies choose to sell newly invented domestic trucks as opposed to selling modified already existing international trucks. If NAFTA was dropped and we had entered the TPP, the market would be flooded with hiluxe's and the safety and emissions laws would have...

It's already built new from factory. We could buy an old one, import it, and build it as we want it, but I am sure there would be more replacing parts type of work being done as opposed to cleaning it up a bit. Also, a lot of us are not mechanically inclined as some others are. Perhaps I am just...

I think there are three options here. 1) Impossible 2) Hopeless 3) Brute Force Impossible) <- Big News Toyota USA is never going to listen to its customers here in the states. We have great people looking to buy big, but poor US tensions with Japan has forced Toyota to either start cutting...

We need to spread this on YouTube and get 100k. It can happen and will happen as overlanding expands. One upset citizen as myself can't change much, but many can. I just hope we don't resort to buying Jeep's. Just taking a look at the 4wdaction Australian forums, there are 16k posts about tojos...

Australia has free trade agreement with Japan. Us has free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Japan qnd China used to have TPP with US I believe but Trump took it down. These are outright trade wars. Toyota has destroyed the australian car market with sales to the point where even...

Emissions can be solved with a V8 Petrol. Fed safety would be a hurdle, but I imagine doing what the wrangler does with the bullbar is fair. As for rollover, widening wheel track can get it 4 star rating. Nothing is impossible.

Good evening in everyone in the overland community. I have decided to take action on something that was really bothering me and a lot of other people in the overland community here in the states. It hurts me so much so see many passionate people hit the big stumbling block we have here, and...
