Jeeps vs. Toyotas Overlanding the Ozarks - A 3 Day Adventure

I hope you guys enjoy my longest episode yet! This was my second annual trip with the Ozark Overland Adventures crew that we call the "Bonfire Run." Last year for the Bonfire Run, I was in my Jeep TJ. This year made for a whole new experience and new set of challenges. This year we had a great mix of Jeeps and Toyotas consisting of 4th and 5th gen 4Runners, a couple 3rd gen Tacomas, a couple Jeep JL's, and a Jeep JK. One of my favorite parts about the trip was seeing Robert's 5th gen 4Runner on 35's do all of the Jeep trails 😎. But seriously, I really enjoyed seeing how the different platforms performed differently in the Ozarks. Please comment below on your favorite part!

That 4Runner on 35’s is a beast!!!!

[@tonyvega7268]

They all need bigger tires 37 to 40,

[@stacksmasher]

Finally an off road crew who actually OFF ROADS!! Great video!

[@nba_rayanz8901]

If u wanna watch real proper off-roading search (4wd 24/7) they do the best off-roading on KZbin

[@ArkansasOffroad]

@@nba_rayanz8901 My favorite channel on KZbin.

[@dustybottoms2780]

Right?

[@rrwa7052]

Exactly!

[@JohnDoe-lc9yj]

Here we go: a 2011 4runner with 4,0000,000 miles and only one oil change, against a brand new Cheep. Let's wait and see the inevitable. How exciting.

[@htoosoe1996]

You guys are living life, I can’t even get one person to go off-road with me

[@jeffgoddard4100]

I can't go because I have to work way too hard for what I have just to destroy it for entertainment

[@carolynhall3525]

Lol same

[@btbreviews7364]

The 4Runner couldn’t be stopped. Even on a long wheel base he could do anything that the Jeep’s were doing and do it better. Big props!

[@jonc2914]

Were we watching the same video? Because the wranglers kept getting stuck. The 4runner did better. I was looking for a wrangler but now I'm wondering why people keep overpaying for wranglers.

[@KarstRats]

Shows Toyota in the beginning that was knocking like hell lol.

[@KarstRats]

He literally said. Anything the jeep could do the runner could do better. You’re so smart man.

[@SanctumOfDreams]

@@jonc2914 Because the wranglers actually went off roading. The Toyota’s kept taking the bypass. Remember? Rewind the video.

[@DUNEATV]

Don’t compare a 4-runner to a Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep is so superior it’s not even worth talking about.

[@ruth1706521]

That 4runner killing it. Awesome car man!

[@aidansalmeron3392]

These overlanding videos are truly some of the most engaging, quality and overall incredible videos on KZbin. Always blown away by the amount of editing and time that goes into these and how they don't get more user attention. Please continue to bless all of us with the content that you've been posting, cheers!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Wow Aidan, that's one of the nicest comments I've ever gotten. I really appreciate that. Not many people realize how much work it takes!

[@stegofuego1285]

Fabulous video. No music, minimal talking, awesome pictures and videos of the actual challenges of the trail. New sub! Don’t change your content man! This was great

[@bigben5056]

Seeing Freddy Mercury in the outdoors wheeling the Ozarks, Awesome 😂🤣👍🏽

[@LukeBurl22]

We have a cabin on this trail route. The trails used to be nice and accessible. Now so many off-road groups tear them up you can’t hardly get down to the creek anymore

[@cormacgodfrey2716]

Absolutely an underrated comment. Watching you guys offroad, tells me you need to run lower tire pressures, and crawl more. The more aggressive your driving, the worse the trail conditions become! You just tear the trails up, and it means others cannot enjoy them as well. 4x4 consciously, leave it as you found it!

[@okayretard6050]

@@cormacgodfrey2716 TBH it didn’t even look like they aired down at all

[@WBR79]

I’m not sure how you can destroy a trail like that and decide it’s good content. I’d be ashamed.

[@anthonythompson5870]

@@WBR79 your on the wrong channel my friend. Not much you can do about destroying trails when it’s muddy.

[@LouisianaMechanic]

I love watching rock crawling videos from around western USA and Canada. Having to deal with steep mountains and snow always looks so fun and rewarding, but having grown up in Louisiana I certainly respect the difficulty of trying to overcome deep gumbo, black land mud. Sometimes, you just can't beat the trail in those conditions. No matter how you have your rig set up, no traction, is no traction. Lol. Great video!

[@robertwicker196]

Awesome!! So much fun...I can't wait until next year!! Thanks Grant!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Same here!

[@rooster-zg4oo]

Climbing along that wall sideways showed why the flex from a solid front axle is great.

[@camooo101]

Great video! Nice to see a mix of vehicles offroading. Impressed at how that 4 runner trdoffroad just ate the trails. Future 4runner goals right there! Great way to show how durable and capable IFS can really be!

[@Doll_Emma]

Just wow! I love the group, love the adventure! I wish I could join a group like this.

[@ziplokk1453]

Was stationed at Fort Lost in the Woods back in the 80's. Loved Missouri and got to see a lot of it while there including the Ozarks and the lake with the party boats. Good times

[@vernonyamada2200]

Awesome video thank you for sharing, where I live a lot lifted Jeep’s and Toyota’s are just asphalt jewelry, the pictures you took can be your 2022 calendar, stay safe and GOD BLESS

[@americansniper5290]

I'm going to take a second to say " Thank you guys " for not adding annoying background music....

[@user-sq4vd6yy2b]

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thank you

[@ultrajazz5335]

I love the still shots popping up during the video, it adds to the dynamics of the moment. The Merch I ordered has been shipped. Can’t wait to share your channel on my JK door, sharing the love of Overlanding.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thanks! It was something new I wanted to try out. I think I agree, it adds to the story. Great! Thanks again for the support!

[@SwineyB]

Agree!

[@dizi17]

is there a walkaround of that concrete gray Rubicon? Looks amazing!

[@mikeandshelliesoverlanding]

Love seeing you guys together. Really good video

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

This video does such an excellent job capturing not only the wheeling, but the entire trip. Everything from the scenic views, amazing rigs, lunch time snacks and all the fun in between. It's not about the KZbinr and his truck. It's about everyone else and sharing the experience, giving us the best possible video. Lots of KZbinrs can learn from this video and the still camera shots are the icing on the cake.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thank you so much for the comment! Very well said. All about everyone having a good time.

[@taddmansilla598]

Hello. Thanks for sharing your adventure. I’m living vicariously through you.

[@jonferguson3489]

I just watched your trip from last year and now this year. It seems that everyone is doing their own filming and photography. If you guys were to shoot it like a well edited tv show that all of you could post to your channels (and have a dedicated camera rig/crew) it would be even better. Glad I found your channel and I hope you guys keep putting out content.

[@jwbranham2009]

Great sound and video! You guys are living my dream life! Love the fellowship and excitement you are enjoying.

[@atfireman4175]

Your KZbin channel is perfect bro! Gives me ideas of what I want and don’t want for my set up. I have an 18 frontier long boy and I’m slowly trying to turn it into an overland rig. Keep up the good work! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber here.

[@tommykuenster574]

Awesome! Looks like a great time with friends and all!

[@rediron44]

Fun video. "Toyota Representing " I would never get stuck either if I went around every obstacle in the trail..LOL

Wow guys, what a video. Just getting my 3rd Gen 4 runner overland build going. Starting with an icon lift

[@realworld6826]

Excellent content. Excellent video work. Editing was good. Sound was top notch. Length of video was spot on engaging. The terrain was superb for challenging all vehicles and rewarding for the campsites and restaurant at the end of the day(s). The group interactions were top notch respectable. Nobody yelling over top of another person. 1 person spotting as opposed to 3 or 5 people shouting out directions confusing the drivers. There was no rival of Jeep over Toyota, respecting each other and just having a good time. Looked like everyone was practicing safe wheeling and recovery. Cannot say enough good things about this video guys!

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Thank you very much for the encouraging comments!

[@frankferret1038]

About two years ago we took a road trip up to Arkansas from Florida .We stayed in a tiny house and did some 4 wheeling in my Tacoma we had a blast and got to go to the Oark café for lunch great trip .

Hello from Australia 🇦🇺, your vids are awesome mate. All ways good fun and entertaining to watch. Great work 😎👍

Loved seeing this from your perspective after having just watched Matt’s video over at OOA. But I gotta say, Kona steals the show when he picked and carried that tree limb. He looked so happy and proud of himself.

[@ArkansasOffroad]

Hahahaha thanks! Yes he was definitely proud of himself.
