  • Hey guys! So stoked to be sharing this adventure with you. This was by far my favorite trip I've done to date, and this is why I love the Ozarks so much. As you'll see, we had such a great variety of terrain, awesome challenging weather, and some beautiful views. My Jeep TJ absolutely killed it on this trip. It dominated the water crossings, washouts, and anything else I could throw at it.
    Be sure to watch part 2 next!
    Shoutout to Matt McClellan with Ozark Overland Adventures for planning and guiding us on this trip. Matt also has a CZcams channel (Ozark Overland Adventures), so be sure to check that out as also has some excellent camping and offroad content.

      You should try a a short or mid wheel based Land Cruiser then. I have a 96' FJ73 soft top. It's a freaking tank. And I didn't need 15k of upgrades haha. Or a shitty 4k tent on top to look cool.

    You continue to inspire! Thank you for all you do. You are a significant part of the reason I bought a 2005 Rubicon! My 19 y/o son has an XJ and wants to do overlanding. He didn't have any buds that wanted to get involved. We have been wrenching on his Jeep and dreaming of the trips we could take. I showed my wife your video of Mulberry and she said "Let's get one too!" This is something we can all get involved in. He is an Eagle Scout and I was a Venturing Crew Advisor, so we are very geared up and ready to hit the trail. Thank you so much Grant. It is something that we will have fond memories of for the rest of our lives. Keep the content coming! Once I get everything checked out and road ready- We are doing that Mulberry trip!

      I just love all 4x4s, it doesn't matter to me what you have as long as you can give me a tug here and there. I love being in a large group with all different rigs.

    Used to do this as a kid with my friend who's dad had a series II & III Land Rovers. Big all terrain tires, basics, no carpet, mud came right in the vehicle, just hose it out later, winch was an absolute essential. Good old days.

  • @melanietrigo9548

    @BuyFromNeil-CoreysCars Před 4 lety +2

    Wow!! Killer footage and great editing! Very technical stuff early on in the trip. The water crossings are always cool to drive, but at the same time risky on many levels. Glad everyone made it out with only minor bumps, scrapes & bruises!

    Best off road footage seen yet. I have been falling in love with 4runners and this really showed what they can really do. For my 11th Anniversary I rented a 4runner and the wife and I camped a few days. This vehicle did more than I would have imagined.

    Being from the east this is much better than watching guys drive through the desert and crawling over rocks. Woods and mud are much more entertaining.

  • @capitaldd5840
    @capitaldd5840 Před 4 lety +3

    Great video. Actioned packed. I felt for the boys in the nice rigs - I gotta say I wouldn't have taken a few of those rigs on those tight trails for fear of it being too costly. I think I would have had the chain saws going a bit more - the world has plenty of trees trust me.
    Great video..looking forward to the second part....

  • @tomdary1993

    When out to Arkansas to visit my mom in September (near Bull Shoals Lake). I drove my Jeep and the Ozark mud looked inviting. Then I remembered I was in a Stock JL.

  • @homeguy4
    @homeguy4 Před 4 lety

    Epic trails, those trails are the best, you'll never forget, the damage you got. With the views like that, it's the reason we drive the vehicles we do to get there.

  • @jeep6242
    @jeep6242 Před 4 lety

    I have a 1st gen reg cab Taco. I can more or less go where a side by side can go. I can appreciate running something like a TJ on this trail. Modern rigs feel so giant on trails like this, where as I can usually easily fit everywhere easily even with the bed overhang.

    Nice video, part one and two.. thanks we were in a lot of the same area that weekend I’m really surprised we didn’t run up on you guys. Thank you for not pinpointing the tracks and especially the camps. These are special places. The Ozarks and ouchitas have been getting hammered the past few years and it’s getting to where those special camps and routes are now overrun and trashed. I know you guys pick up as much trash as we do but it’s disheartening to see pristine camps trashed by people. Just a few years ago that IB camp was hardly known about, unlike now
    Thanks again that’s a quality video
