Thats a awesome camping trip especially with so many rigs togeather. ..thats really fun ..I even saw children and ladies in this adventure...loved it...

[@4x4adventure_pl]

This offroading video is an ode to the wild, where every obstacle is a dance with adventure.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

How it should be!

[@relaxgaming8872]

Looks like such a fun trip.

[@twistnshout3031]

I might sell my house to build a rig and just travel the continent.

[@user-pn9jg8mh8b]

This is awesome we are opening a new restaurant in Oark Arkansas. The Mountain View Bistro is opening real soon.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Awesome! Very excited.

[@wellthatdidntwork]

Thanks for blessing us with almost an hour of offroad goodness bro!! Looked like a freaking awesome trip!!!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

For sure! It was long overdue.

[@OscarOverlanding]

As always!!!! Such a great video!!!! Thank you!

[@Just_Ty_51]

Despite my trucks fuel pump dying this was an awesome trip. I’ll be back. 🤙🏽 Such a great crew. Great video. Real mvps were Aaron, Clayton and Jason. Got me home.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Glad to wheel with ya man! And glad you got home safe.

[@michaelmeyer1914]

Cool trip with a bunch of nice rigs. Your setups all look nicely equipped. Thank for sharing.

[@adventureoverland1960]

Awesome video, looks like y’all had a blast. Thanks for sharing.

[@daveoffroad7396]

I have never before heard of anyone mention a pee bottle in a rtt..but I have used one and it makes perfect sense..! Thanks for being candid..! 😎

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Nothing worse than having to get out of your warm tent and put your shoes on to climb down your ladder to go pee in the middle of the night!

[@Nick3rdGenTaco]

Always a good day with new videos! That was a close call! Great video!🤟🏼

[@FastRackOverland]

Awesome video brother he had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. 👊🏼

[@That_Paul_Guy]

What is up with the haters on this video?! I see this stuff and want to bring my PW up there. I love seeing these heavily modified vehicles but that, what appears to be a nearly stock Ram 1500 with running boards, makes me want to get my stock Power Wagon out there. I haven’t done anything too crazy yet. 😬

[@ChadMI]

Yesssssss . So excited

[@nokianx400]

I enjoyed watching! Thank you!

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

I found myself yelling and cheering for you guys making it out of there at the end lol. Great video!!

[@derekmoeller5350]

Ozarks!!!!!

Ayyy notification squad. Hey from Canada

Great meeting you! What a blast!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Same here!

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Rad as always buddy. Thanks for sharing!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks for watching!

[@MohsKnows]

Great 4 wheeling action!!

[@blasterracer817]

Just found your channel looking for inspiration for my Toyota. I live in the ozarks of Arkansas aswell. Hopefully one day I can join you on an adventure in this beautiful area.

[@hess126]

So freaking excited to watch the new video with the flatbed, really been looking forward to it! My buddy just got a Tacoma and I’m trying to talk him into one😂

[@BucktailProductions]

Ur buddy is broke🤣

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Nice!!

[@zolciaki]

Hi, from Poland. Thank you for a great vlog.

[@Sandy_Seats]

one of your best to date. great job

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Wow, thanks!

[@Vehiclesupportedtravel]

Sweet trip! The white tacoma got water in coils for the spark plugs that's why it sounded like it was miss firing used to happen to my sxs's all the time we would put dielectric grease in the plug coils and it would be fine in deep water.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Was a good trip for sure! Yeah, apparently there was too much water inside the electrical connection of the fuel pump. I can see how water in the coils for the plugs would do that too

[@Just_Ty_51]

Fuel pump failed. Shorted out in the water. It was unfortunate for sure.

Great adventure!

[@haienchelsea188]

so good~

[@overland_dadsfl]

Tha Ozarks is Beautiful.... Awesome group to be camping. Although not quite understood the beer keg and the the can with the cosy😅😅😅🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@dirt5two]

Awesome video!

[@joshwolf7139]

Good stuff!

[@jamalfaisal21]

Video like done ❤

[@DRockDreamin]

Appreciate you being discreet about what trails you guys are on. See you out there sometime!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Yep! Always.

[@DRockDreamin]

@@ArkansasOffroad Wish some other "Ozark Overland Adventurers" would do the same... Some people even have the nerve to sell the routes on their Patreon.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

@@DRockDreamin Well, I actually just launched a similar thing. I only give routes to top tier Patreon subscribers. I have found that the people that are truly invested into Overlanding and are willing to pay are usually right minded people, meaning they know to treat the forest with respect and will do right. I also make sure those people keep it to themselves and don't share anything. The Patreon thing is sort of a way to vet the right people in my opinion. It's when you blast out free routes to the general public that gets you in trouble. That's when things get ruined or shut down. But this whole trip, I didn't record a single route. I've done a lot of these trails before.

[@tuckerhiggins4336]

@@ArkansasOffroad oof lol

[@militarymann01]

The way we do it in NH is we have a group with access to a map of all legal trails. If you want access, you have to actively participate in the community and apply to get access to the map. Which requires a couple scouting trips a year to ensure trails are still open. Don't do the scouting or participate, you lose access. None of that pay to play BS.

[@davidakers8258]

That was epic !

[@Brevfba]

That overland chef is the MVP forsure!

[@robertwicker196]

Man...most water I have seen this year in the Ozarks...made for some good water crossings! WE GOT TO PLAN ANOTHER TRIP SOON! Almost 100K in Subs...congrats Grant!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Yeah, it was quite a bit! And I agree! Thanks so much

[@AudiaciousLife]

"drink bottle. pee bottle, everything's good" That is until you mix them up in the middle of the night lol

[@ConfusedGolfBall-vf8kf]

Amazing

[@nrao8977]

You guys do know that we good cities, where we drive on flat roads. Do you not? 🤣😇🥰 Have fun. And, happy holidays. Keep warm and safe.

[@lawdaniel1076]

love it

[@the_real_sharkbait]

I want a rig tour of all the rigs

[@paulclark8497]

I like seeing the old style gas pumps @ 27:58.

[@allhandson3489]

Little tip for the open diff guys when your straddling and have one wheel barely not touching tap that brake pedal on and off and it’ll get the wheel with traction to move a little vs throttling like crazy and hoping it does something hope that helps. 🙂👍 awesome videos I’m in Texas and I really hope I get a chance to go into the Ozarks this year!

[@chrismak4859]

Basically old school crawl control haha!

[@avnmechanic]

Toyotas now a days have ATRAC which is basically what you said but automated.

[@allhandson3489]

@@avnmechanic yeah I know it’s a great system but from what I can tell on video doesn’t look like they have it or maybe it ain’t working, my methods old school lol

[@ejr5480]

Who’s got the beer? Looks like a Budweiser crew!!

[@devildawgpryde4764]

Good video, very cool. New Fan. enjoyed watching and looking forward to getting into Overlanding in 2024. I have a 14' Rubicon Unlimited, 4.5 in rough country lift and other upgrades. AEV snorkel, 38X13.5X17 bead locked Falken wild country tires. 3rd wrangler, 2nd Rubicon. Looking forward to getting it outfitted and hitting the trails with the dog, and a fishing pole. I live in Kansas. Not too far from the Ozarks.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks so much! Very cool, not too far at all.

nice rigs. I'm so jealous

[@jonnys_tundra]

Dude! That wheel lift was sketch! 😂 Awesome video!

[@davidbeezley6161]

Really enjoyed the vid! (As always). Sooo glad you didn’t tip that Aussie -style Taco. It was great seeing you at Rigs

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Man, you and me both! Thanks for watching.

[@inkslingerdrew]

awsome video

[@hamradiox]

Great Video!!! Rogers resident and I'll say Hi if we cross paths! Thanks

[@claudiodiez55]

You Guys do some serious off road . I bought a 2023 Tacoma and like your trucks

[@GaryOutdoorsLiving]

Nice!!

[@stevensosa5446]

Awesome footage! Side thought, I hear people rave about the Toyota Atrac, but I don't see anyone letting the wheel spin long enough for it to kick in.

[@Only4Ward_]

Great video man, Im from south louisiana moving to the pacific northwest in the sierra nevadas here in a few months and looking forward to some overlanding and offroading

[@ejr5480]

BTW; it’s, ‘Yea Buddy’. 😂😂😂😂

[@JesseRizo]

Loved the video man ❤

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks Jesse!

[@RMACIAS2460]

Cool video and location.

[@konradchojnowski8226]

Yoooo. This was a killer video. We had a blast!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks dude! Glad you got to come. Had a blast.

[@gersonlara2640]

Great video love the hard cord off road scene thank to this video me and family are motivated to take a weekend camping trip in our land rover lr3 thank you for the motivation please more video..

[@ArkansasOffroad]

That is awesome!

[@alexandervasquez6290]

You need a “spotter mirror” for your side mirrors, way better than those circular mirrors.

[@Timberbeartrail]

Quite nice

[@Zialungpachal]

Nice video, right from the start - till the end... upload more often

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks! Wish I could do more, but these take so much time and energy to create. Appreciate you watching.

[@MohitKumar-dp9bg]

Congratulations bro you got a subscriber from INDIA

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks for the sub!

[@at4overlandadventures711]

What up Grant??....The rig looks sweet!!! Lots different from when you had it a Moore of few years back...

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks!!

[@ejr5480]

Hope you have AAA!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@ejr5480]

3 day downpour? I haven’t see 1 rain drop yet and I’m more that half way through!!!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

You guys are a bunch of psychos with those water crossings. And I can't remember the last time I yelled "Use your traction boards!" so much while watching that last 15 minutes 😂. Great video.

[@jackkidd5375]

Would just like to share I saw you going down 49 towards Lowell. The rig looks so much cooler in person

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Nice!

[@GaryOutdoorsLiving]

Subscribed!!! Great channel! This will be my next hobby... Just don't know how to tell the wife.. 😬

[@aggromonk9154]

Okay.. Thumbnailed me.. I thought I saw the Dirty 30 in there.. lol I guess Ill hangout a bit :p

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Haha mine is like the US version lol

[@user-ej1bq4bq2w]

Looking at your camera setup because I just realized the front cam playing on the mirror would mitigate the fact that I my mirror blocks my entire right side field of view. Friggin genius! I've never understood the need for a daytime running front cam but it would absolutely make a difference and I can't believe I'm just now figuring this out lol

[@ArkansasOffroad]

It's the Wolfbox G900. Its a gamechanger!

[@robertkoch1327]

The Toyota with the intermittent electrical issue, check the clock spring , my JKU did the same thing

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Turned out to be water in the fuel pump connection.

[@Novasawildone]

I loved every second of this! Have you thought of trying the Rubicon Trail?

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Id love to, but I'm not sure my rig would love it. Haha

[@seanspeckels8089]

That was a hood rally to be on! Alternator baths, mud, water crossings, taco high fives…nice…oh and as an 80 owner we do consume fuel like a fat kid eats cake…😂

[@ovrlndr]

That white Tacoma with the GFC… does he have a video of his diesel heater install?

[@ArkansasOffroad]

That heater is from Two Track Nation. Chase (Chase in Point).

[@FiveAngelsOutdoor]

Quite the epic adventure! Crazy how a little rain can box you in on those crossings. It is like Coppinger Cove in TN.

[@BigCityCountryBoi]

What size tires are on Arien's green 5th gen 4runner ?

[@janpur1417]

Good stuff every where. Crossing the river is scary! some taco's are TRD sport and doing serious offroading? Should have gotten the TRD O/R instead for the locker and ATRAC. What's up with that taco with electrical issues? So new but already electrical issues? Then the other taco with super charger is dead. This makes me worried with my taco O/R taking O/R. At 45 min I though he is going to break front right CV! Overall you guys had fun! Enjoy! Greetings form West TX!

[@victoriahunt5772]

Awesome video! Anyone know what external heater set up TrlTaco has on that GFC? Easy to spot at ~43:00.

[@user-vk4lt5qu4f]

Lots of tocos

[@lraley1550]

Dude, we just came across this video (we’re literally watching it right now) and we were just on a trail not far from y’all! Would have been wicked cool to run into y’all!!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

So cool!

[@mmagbee]

Sweet- Would be rad to have a post of the onX or gaia GPS route used

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks, but I don't like to make that public

[@mmagbee]

Understand

[@timthetrailman4563]

What layers or map setup were you running on your Tread? It looked good and useful.

[@Dude17768]

Sounds like it was worked on at mountain yotas 😂

[@14rhatch]

We would love to join your group on an adventure sometime

[@jeffarcand6536]

Looks like a ton of fun. What rear view mirror are you running?

[@ArkansasOffroad]

thanks! Wolfbox G900

[@alexz523]

You guys are awesome! 52:59 What's that box with the pipe on the side on the shell?

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thank you! It's a diesel heater

[@andrewthorsten3809]

is that one of those Mits flatbeds from Australia? hows the weight? is it tippy?

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

That was a fun weekend video to watch from the comfort of home. Nah, I would have rather been out there with you.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Ha yeah it was nasty for sure, but all worth it.

[@SandyCats]

Dude…. Time for a front locker? I desperately want to join you guys on an Ozark trip!!!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Yeah would be really nice ha. Please do! I'd love to show you some good wheeling

[@kendramckenna7312]

I am curious about the flat bed on the dessert Tacoma.

[@Johnny5sWorld]

Amazing video! Wanted to ask what rear view mirror/rear cam setup your running?

[@ArkansasOffroad]

G900 from Wolfbox

[@autotek7930]

Do ya'll carry wd40 for water displacement like in the mountain yota situation? Pretty sure it's water in the ignition system. If you suspect water intrusion spray it down with the wd40 and "dry" it out.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Very smart idea, but we haven’t before. Next time 👌

[@stratley]

Awesome trip vid. As a fellow Ozarkie, it was familiar territory and way more water than we're used to crossing. I am about to pull trigger on a Dirtbox camper/canopy, and curious how tent held up in rain? Well done!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Awesome!! It did very well. I never had any rain inside of the tent.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

If you’re still wanting to get one of their campers, I can save you some money if you’re interested. You can use the online discount code ARKOFFROAD for $500 of a canopy or flatbed and code ARKOFFROAD15 will get you 15% off any accessory.

[@stratley]

@@ArkansasOffroad New box ordered and will be on the way to OA soon! Thanks for sharing code. Hopefully not to late to get discount...

[@ArkansasOffroad]

@@stratley That's awesome! Did you order on their website? It should have worked there.

[@stratley]

@@ArkansasOffroad I ordered from OA and that discount only applies to direct sales, but it's on the Tundra! Let the build out begin...
