Expedition Overland just got a new Tacoma!!!

1000% agree.

 

I don't disagree with that. I am sure all those companies love to give the impression you need to spend a fortune on your truck to make it "overland capable".

 

I wonder why so many associate Overlanding with 4wd then. I've seen most (all?) the episodes and I can only remember 2-3 scenes where it looked like 4wd was necessary. Of course, they don't show everything

 

Well their Central America trip definitely required much less 4wd! However, i feel much of the Alaska trip was very technical in the off-road sense. Furthermore, the older episodes before Alaska really proved how capable these men and their machines are!

 

ok, so apparently I've been living under a rock... where does one watch such episodes of said show??? (yes, I'm serious )

 

YouTube

haha thanks, that was much, much easier than I thought! Looks like a good series, I'm deffinitely going to check it out

 

Yeah, this fall, episodes came out like every Wednesday so it was always something to look forward to!

 

I agree. But they build up their trip to be so dramatic.
I imagine overlanding being more then just driving down dusty roads in 80k prepped vehicles.

 

That may be true for some, but there were some roads in Central America that didn't necessarily qualify as "dirt roads"... Therefore needing some of those 80k accessories!

 

are you on their payroll or something? you seem to be awfully rah-rah bandwagon homer for these guys. Maybe you are just an excited fan of the show, if so that's cool. No offense.

 

Haha! No I wish I was on their payroll! I do like them a lot. I guess I need to back off a bit though. I'll let this thread die. At least until they release the next season

 

Thanks for posting op. I love there episodes on YouTube

 

no man, you're fine. don't mind me. It's a cool show I agree.

 

Really? ... Why?

 

Because I would presumably be allowed to travel in their vehicles to amazing places, and get paid for it. But maybe that's not what it would be like to "be on their payroll".... Lol

 

One blurry pic in OP of a Taco moving.

Hmmmmm...........

 

I doubt they are "making money" from sponsors or to make the show. YouTube pays a bit from viewers. But I don't see them being on toyotas payroll. Some friends of mine got a show on discovery and catch a bunch of shit about discovery bank rolling them. But they make minimal moNey from the show. They make a lot from tshit/hat sales

Anyway. Food for thought

 

Guess I'd better buy a t-shirt!

I mean YDCTaco has to eat right? (Plus I want more EO eps.)

 

Hey I was shocked how much money t-shirt sales make. One of my buddies just bought an srt8 jeep on t-shirt sales
