We are just 4 average Joe's. Much like the people who watch these videos. If you want guys that have $60,000 rigs, trailers, support vehicles, winches, mud tires, camera crew, factory support and sponsors. This isn't the channel for you. 40% of the time we are right about 10%. But we have fun and it usually makes for a good video. Thanks for watching!
Overland Florida looked fun guys, just a bunch of buddies hanging out, when I get my new Tacoma this summer I’m gonna be truck camping all over Kentucky! Keep riding bud
Rural King is awesome. I go to Lake Wales. It's worth the trip. Always remember, if you don't have a good trip, at least you've got a good story. Great job Kevin.
Hi Kev I've been enjoying your videos a lot especially the ones with Zephyrhills in it my dad lived in Zephyrhills for 15 years and I came down there many of times to visit him and stayed a couple weeks and I loved it . I am 66 right now on this date of February 19th 2021 and someday I hope I can come back there to live permanently.
really need to teach your buddy how to drive through mud, and deep puddles. speed is key in getting through deep water/mud... momentum.. nothing worse than going into a hole, slowing to a stop and being stuck there.. if you keep speed up you can avoid flooding your truck in deeper sections. not to mention get some better tires.. it will make a WORLD of difference.. I have some stock size Geolandar AT's now.. looking to go with some 285/75/r16 cooper ST MAXX, or ST PRO this spring. stuck between the 2 right now.. with a 1"-1.5" spacer they will fit the 3rd gen with little rubbing as I have heard from multiple people on TW. please get an appropriate tow point/hitch shackle ($35 on amazon) mount point.. the hook on his 2nd gen is NOT a tow point.. it will bend and or break off.. the TRD ones are different. that come a long is ok to have.. but your high lift with a set of short chains, links, and recovery strap/tree strap has more pulling power... my older 48" high lift says it is rated for a 3000lb pull.. most cable type come a longs only do 1500-2500lbs... you can save on the weight and the high lift is multi purpose.. nice to see a fellow Tacoma driver on the east coast.. I'm up in the midcoast region of Maine. lots of mud up here. would be glad to show you guys around if you ever come up this way.
@@derrickmorrison1022 if its a deep water crossing, and you have made the cross, or heard of others and know the route it is best to keep some speed to get over underwater obstacles. it also pushes the water wake forward ahead of the vehicle allowing for deeper depths to be crossed.. use your head... regular driving rules dont apply in the s!*t.. getting stuck in a deep water crossing is hazardous to the driver the vehicle, and you may never make it out. believe it or not a 3-4 ton truck will float with doors closed, and large tires filled with air. until its down river tipped over, and un-recoverable...
@Derrickm02 watch some videos of guys over on 4WD Action. They do a lot of deep water stuff in Australia. Momentum is your friend. Also walk it before you drive it. Feel the bottom if it is a hard or soft bottom, find ruts ect...
Yeah I want to see more camping content... This forest your in is Amazing... I live in NJ and even though it's the pine barrens it's NOTHING like this at all... I love your Dashboard view as well
You updated a awesome video also I noticed it was so much water out there looks like a swamp that's why it's good to travel with someone else not alone, and a year 2020 we have to meet up it looks like fun camping would be my first time never did it before I am located in Florida just keep making these awesome videos for 2019 throughout.
Good day for Ducks and Frogs, ha. At least you got outdoors awhile and got to go to a great store. I was at Rural King this afternoon. I really like that store. Thanks from Richmond, Kentucky. :)
I use to mow St Johns water management properties in North Florida but I had a a large tractor I think 5 ft tires on the rear and 4+ ft tires on the front . Many state truck did not always make it thru..
Great video. Really enjoyed it. BUT I noticed in the recovery the rope was hooked to the tow ball. That is a BIG NO NO!! When doing a recovery NEVER hook to the tow ball!!!!
Yep. Recovery 101 says never use the tow ball for recover. There is a video on UA-cam of the tow ball flying off and killing a bystander. It's really really really really dangerous.
I love when people watch a bunch of videos and then repeat the information like they know from experience and try to critique people who are actually posting not just being arm chair qbs. I’ve personally seen many accidents with people towing trailers and watched the trailers sway then tip over, so never use your tow ball to tow a trailer.
Enjoyed the video and subscribed👍 i like that you guys are just ordinary dudes and found it to be entertaining. I just bought a 21 Tacoma and put a emu 2” lift on it too. I have installed the decked system and hope to get a prinsu roof rack. The bumper is being made and going to change to 5:29 gearing. My truck will be used for work mostly though.
people are so critical in the comments, personally i love this stuff its relatable to my experiences hooning around in high school lol. It makes the content more interesting knowing that you are on street tires and arent "pros"
Actually it isn’t relatable at all. I don’t know anybody that enters a mud hole with a speed limit. Looks like they’re trying to keep the mud off the trucks or something.
@@blakebrodeur3267 now that I'm older and don't have a beater high school truck. I know how much things cost, I'm not destroying my 30k truck in some mud ruts at 40mph. I'll take it slow until I get new tires.
Average guy here. Wondering if a full size truck works on Florida trails. You answered the question in the video. Also. It seems a trailer isn’t a good idea. That would make 3 point turns worse
Just a thought, You can use a some flashlights, lanterns and or UV lights to charge solar powered stuff like lucy lights., just hang them in front of the headlights. Or near the fire.
You guys certainly passed far beyond my comfort level for mudding around in the boonies! My dad used to take me places like that--and worse!--and it scarred me, for sure. I swear I don't know how we got out of some of the fixes he got us into exploring faint pathways and abandoned roads in his old 1963 half-ton Chevy (with only two-wheel drive!). That campground was some creepy-ass stuff! No way I'd have stayed there. It reminds me of some of the places we happened upon once trying to find a place to park our 17-foot Casita travel trailer in Montanan in 2015. I mean, we were desperate for a place to stay but not that desperate. So we kept driving into the inky night until we saw a state road rest area and pulled in, conked out, and slept like the dead. When I woke up in the morning to hit the head, I saw a sign on the chain link fence behind rest area that we were in the Hell Creek Formation! Probably dinosaur fossils all around us. Didn't have time to explore because my son and I had to head another day east to get my wife to the airport so that she could fly home ahead of us. Weird how some rural areas that you would think would have good campgrounds don't have anything but places you wouldn't want to stay.
Thanks for sharing that story. I too, have ventured out camping at a very young age with my family and have come across some creepy people and areas. I love when my parents tell stories about my sisters and I camping when I was younger.
Nice Trails all you guys need is some better tires and if you guys are going to be going thru the deep water/mud make sure you get some Diff. breathers installed, but great vid!!
Just took my '18 4R TRD ORP to Croom & Citrus around the same time. Great video ! Appreciate you taking the time to capture footage of the journey as it can be tempting to just live in the moment. We live in the Bay area so I caught your reference to Paul Dellagoto. Hopefully you can post so more of your trips as we're always looking for good off roading / camping spots in FL !
I'm glad someone knows who Paul Dellagato is, lol. Thanks for watching. Unfortunately there's not a lot of places for "real off roading". But there are plenty of forest trails to ride on and explore. I'm going to try and make a local video every week.
I live over in the Highland City area. If you want to go to Rural King, it's easier and probably quicker to go to the Lake Wales store right off Hwy 60. I drove to the one in Zephyrhills once. I thought I'd never get there.
Camping & Backpacking I understand, but Overlanding is for Australia where they can drive for days without seeing pavemant or shell gas stations. Overlanding Florida into a trailer park, is like saying Overlanding NY,NY. Just call it Off Roading which is what it is. FYI.. Cook the bacon first, then dump most of the grease, grease keeps Eggs from sticking
I got the 2017 SR5 Tacoma, I sooooooooooo regret not getting the 4x4, I upgraded to the Continental TerrainContact, beats the OEM crap they put on, great video
Guys, I'm a Florida Boy and been trailing Off-road all my life, And the FIRST thing I always put on my truck is a WINCH !! Even before tires and a Lift !!. Get your winch mounted NOW !! It's embarrassing to watch you get stuck and then talk about a Come a long !!!! I'm in Ocala National Forest very close to Big Scrub Campground. Let me know when your up this way and I'll tag along. I'm running a '88 Range Rover Classic on 32's . Nothing fancy. Old Poor(48 yrs old) Boy !! But love trailing !!. Have Fun.
Thanks, we have it all under control. For the 30th time the winch was installed 2 days after this. What's wrong with a come along? We just are out having fun.
@@OverlandFlorida I can't complain !!. It does everything I want to do. It's be known to embarrass several big Jeep's out at The Jeep Ranch !!! Lol. Let's meet up and do some trailing !!!. I also have property in Croom. But like Ocala Forest better..
@@OverlandFlorida I'm the only Range Rover out there (At least from what I've seen and heard). It's Black and Tan Camo. Say hi next time you see me there !.
Josh's truck is totally different now, complete with mud tires. Mine in the other hand, street tires lol. I need to start putting money towards mud tires.
@@treasureseekerintheway3515 yes, pretty much back to normal. I couldn't install my winch without my lift. I only did my lift Friday night. No time to install the winch.
If I can ever get my Bronco up and running again, and you wouldn't mind an Old guy(49) tagging along, I'd love to get back out there in the weeds and the woods again. I don't think my Ram Megacab would fit in a lot of the areas you guys travel to.
That overhead button is a differential lock. That gas mileage though, its as bad as a V8 full-size truck. Good thing they were offroading with all-season city tires at max tire pressure.
Lol. I know that place. We used to camp there every year for our annual small game hunt. The red hair lady (forgot her name) and her son are kind of weird, lol.
Just came across your channel, awesome videos, I might suggest using rainx for the windshield, that will help the clarity for vidoes and should help the wipers from bouncing on the windshield. Keep up the awesome videos and not sure if you have tried it yet but Osceola WMA in north Florida is a cool place to check out
Thanks for watching. The reason the wipers suck is because I have a decal across the top of my windshield and it wears out the wipers really fast. I'll have to check out that WMW. It's just a far drive for me.
Yep. Recovery 101 says never use the tow ball for recover. There is a video on UA-cam of the tow ball flying off and killing a bystander. It's really really really really dangerous.
-Do it right... go get a cheap recovery hitch instead of using a trailer ball... people die from that carelessness. I used to do that all the time until someone showed me the correct way. -A set of walkie talkies will help too. and the app "gaia GPS" will help with the trails. -those deep crossings get out and walk it first. a lot of good videos on youtube on water-crossings done correctly. -your boy josh needs some better tires. airing down will help too -i was waiting for a gator to grab ryan at 23:00 lol
Haha, thanks for all the info. This isn't our first rodeo. Just some guys looking for adventure. We actually didnt see any gators this time. Thanks for watching!
Well heck, in that slop they drive in, even heavy duty mud tires would not be enough. Having all that recovery gear is essential. Being wise enough to NOT attempt it was where my thumbs up came about. ;) Idc what tires you have on those rigs, that slop is just down right black quicksand.
Hey man I have a third gen and I'm not far from Chass or Richloam. My brother in law and I go out and trail ride from time to time. It would be cool to meet up in the area and cruise around. Liked the vlog by the way.
Putting better tires on your truck would've been a better choice rather than making your truck look like the ultimate Overlander with all the racks,fridge and bumper.
Good to hear. That is the main thing that is gonna sell me on that rack, Is that there is no stress on the bed sides. Awesome. Appreciate the feed back. Thanks again.
I'm by Big Scrub Campground, Let's go !! Always looking for someone to trail with !!. I'm very experienced in Off-roading and Off-road Recovery. Retired from the Towing and Recovery industry.. Stock Range Rover Classic. Ready to go .
Trails look fun Campground not so much and Rural King is the best there's also one in Spring Hill and Crystal River I hit them up every time I go to that way camping lol
I honestly didnt even know about Rural King. It's definitely my kind of store. There's one in Lake Wales I'll have to check out. Looking back, the campground wasn't that bad. But when we checked in it was pretty bad.
From the map shown at beginning of video, I see that you are close to Lake George Florida, My brother (now deceased) has a place off Lake George road outside of Seville, Florida. How far is the area you have video'd from Seville?
1. All the fancy crap on your trucks screams "Charge me extra". 2. "I have... I have... I have... everything except a winch." 3. Who cooks their eggs before the bacon?
That's a good question. It does have crawl control. But my issue was my frame was sitting on the hard dirt and my tires were in the mud and had no traction in them or weight. So unfortunately it would have not worked with street tires. But thanks for watching. I love rain!
crawl control is next to useless in snow/mud.. you have to have some sort of traction for it to work or all 4 tires just spin... and spin, and spin..... my 2016 TRD OR got stuck in snow.. had it in 4 low, locker off, and crawl control engaged... all 4 just spun, and spun... had to get winched about 400ft back to the main plowed road... i think we used every tow strap our group brought..
You should be in 4x4 the entire time so you don't spin and dig. You should have better tires for this terrain as well. Running a street tire is going to cause spinning and make ruts.
Yeah yeah yeah. But nevermind all the guys running mud tires up to 54 inches bogging out there. Right, let's tell the guy with street tires not to make ruts.

but seriously looks like a good time.
going into a bog hole with no momentum and no constant throttle = classic stuck
Aw man I am so glad found your channel.!!!support Florida channels!!!
Thanks for the comment!!! Thanks for watching.
Should make the bacon first then use the bacon Grease to make the eggs, it adds flavor and makes the eggs not stick👍🏼
Ha! Thought the same thing when I saw that. Darn, now I want some bacon fat fried eggs.
That’s what my wife does and it’s awesome!!
I own a Kia Forte that is a pretty bad ass off road beast. Nice video.
Rural King is awesome. I go to Lake Wales. It's worth the trip. Always remember, if you don't have a good trip, at least you've got a good story. Great job Kevin.

Lol. I know that place. We used to camp there every year for our annual small game hunt. The red hair lady (forgot her name) and her son are kind of weird, lol.
Haha. She was very nice. But kinda scatter brained.
Just came across your channel, awesome videos, I might suggest using rainx for the windshield, that will help the clarity for vidoes and should help the wipers from bouncing on the windshield. Keep up the awesome videos and not sure if you have tried it yet but Osceola WMA in north Florida is a cool place to check out
Thanks for watching. The reason the wipers suck is because I have a decal across the top of my windshield and it wears out the wipers really fast. I'll have to check out that WMW. It's just a far drive for me.
Yes!, I have rainx and love them! Best wipers I had by far.
I like the music choice at 29:58
That's my jam!
We are going to find a nice patch of mosquitoes out in mosquito land.
Yep. Recovery 101 says never use the tow ball for recover. There is a video on UA-cam of the tow ball flying off and killing a bystander. It's really really really really dangerous.
Yup
Given the terrain, I recommend investing in a half track.
Now there's a solution!
Nice video!
Thanks!
Damn I didn't realize that was you stuck a couple weeks ago. Like your videos.
Guilty as charged! Thanks for watching!
Setting up camp where a vehicle can no longer progress is an advanced(sic) camping technique...
Yup!
Great video. BTW
Thanks! We just like to go out and have clean fun. Even then we get a lot of internet warriors that tell us everything we did wrong.
-Do it right... go get a cheap recovery hitch instead of using a trailer ball... people die from that carelessness. I used to do that all the time until someone showed me the correct way.
-A set of walkie talkies will help too. and the app "gaia GPS" will help with the trails.
-those deep crossings get out and walk it first. a lot of good videos on youtube on water-crossings done correctly.
-your boy josh needs some better tires. airing down will help too
-i was waiting for a gator to grab ryan at 23:00 lol
Haha, thanks for all the info. This isn't our first rodeo. Just some guys looking for adventure. We actually didnt see any gators this time. Thanks for watching!
At worst ya'll should have mud tires or heavy duty all terrain tires. Ya'll have all season street tires. lol. Props to ya'll though.
Just out having fun. Tires are on their way though. Thanks for watching.
Well heck, in that slop they drive in, even heavy duty mud tires would not be enough. Having all that recovery gear is essential. Being wise enough to NOT attempt it was where my thumbs up came about. ;) Idc what tires you have on those rigs, that slop is just down right black quicksand.
Dude seen u coming through wahneta a few weeks back !!! By the way there is a rural king in lake wales
Hey! Yeah, I know there is one in LW. I just never go out that way lol
Hey man I have a third gen and I'm not far from Chass or Richloam. My brother in law and I go out and trail ride from time to time. It would be cool to meet up in the area and cruise around. Liked the vlog by the way.
Thanks for watching. For sure, I ride around there often. It's always nice to have people to ride with.
Thanks for sharing this do you ever check your axel for water in the oil.
Not really. But I'm going to drain and replace all the fluids soon. I just rolled over 81k miles.
I'd raise the axle breathers if I was going to be playing around in water like that. And invest in a winch! And Maxx tracks!
Check, check and check! Wait for the next series of camping videos.
Top!
Putting better tires on your truck would've been a better choice rather than making your truck look like the ultimate Overlander with all the racks,fridge and bumper.
You can make the check payable to Overland Florida for the tires.
Nice. What campsite is that? We are camping river junction MLK weekend and are looking for some trails.
Richloam trails and the campsite was Withlacoochee Canoe Outpost.
How do you like your bed rack?? Is that a brute force fab rack?? Thinking of getting that one, what are your thoughts on it??
Well worth the money. Very strong and won't push on the sides of your bed. Highly recommend it. Very good quality.
I like it so much, I'm going to order the brute force rear bumper.
Good to hear. That is the main thing that is gonna sell me on that rack,
Is that there is no stress on the bed sides. Awesome. Appreciate the feed back. Thanks again.
Hey Kevin. I got some time after this week end in the Smokies and next turkey hunting in N FL. Give me a ring.
Sweet! I didn't forget about ya. I started my new job and then got injured. I'm almost done with everything.
If you guys ever come up to oceola national forest I'd love to go out and ride with yall
Hey thanks for the comment. I'll be sure to let you know.
I'm by Big Scrub Campground, Let's go !! Always looking for someone to trail with !!. I'm very experienced in Off-roading and Off-road Recovery. Retired from the Towing and Recovery industry.. Stock Range Rover Classic. Ready to go .
@@Ballards1971 will be going out there weekend of April 6th
Oh, that RV with the sliding doors is for sale 500 on Craigslist, lol
Hahahah
Nice video, but time for that one taco to get new tires.
They both need new tires! Let's be honest.
Ryan's concealed carry handgun was printing on his shirt.
Not a crime.
@@OverlandFlorida never said it was. And since you guys were camping you should have done open carry.
@@whoeever but guns are scary!
You have a snorkel, test it out lol.
I'm not sinking a 30k truck lol
Trails look fun Campground not so much and Rural King is the best there's also one in Spring Hill and Crystal River I hit them up every time I go to that way camping lol
I honestly didnt even know about Rural King. It's definitely my kind of store. There's one in Lake Wales I'll have to check out. Looking back, the campground wasn't that bad. But when we checked in it was pretty bad.
Come to ours in OCALA ...then can head down the road to Gander
That was a deliberate bogging..
Just having some fun.
I appreciate Josh's attempts, but better tires would really help him... and the both of you.
Tires, lift, wheels and front bumper are going on as we speak. (Josh's truck)
@@spartanswerve7575 how's that unsub working out?
That drive through the mud puddle was done with almost no momentum of any kind
You're right.
Hope ya didn't use the tow ball to get pulled out they can break off & go flying
Yolo
@@OverlandFlorida Using a tow ball as a recover point kills people. Go to Tractor Supply and get a recovery hitch for your receiver.
@@randymoore2410 it will be ok.
Just as quick to remove the hitch and connect the strap in the receiver with the hitch pin.
@@OverlandFlorida Just do not want your videos to come to an abrupt end.
From the map shown at beginning of video, I see that you are close to Lake George Florida, My brother (now deceased) has a place off Lake George road outside of Seville, Florida. How far is the area you have video'd from Seville?
Not sure where that is. But this was filmed in Richloam.
Thanks for the response, Richloam is approx. 50 miles southwest of Seville, route 17 goes right through that little city (Seville)
Need some better tires if you gonna play in the mud.
Oh, is that how it works?
This looks like to much fun for me. Deep water and mud no thanks.
Thanks!
The guy in the gen 2 needs new tires lol
We both do!
you have D rings and you decide to tow from a ball? I would hate for it to snap off and hurt someone...
It will be alright. I don't really like that bumper to be honest. That hitch is probably more secure. These are light trucks and we lived.
@@OverlandFlorida alright, even if you tow from a hitch use a D ring not a tow ball. Doesn't take much to snap one off and get hurt.
Condimed!!!
If you did this off trail in Montana national forest you would be in Jail. Just pulling off the road or trail in Montana is a fine.
Ok
I was born and raised there
Nice!
Might be worthwhile using the d-rings secured to the frame rather than your tow ball. The tow ball is a projectile waiting to happen 🙂, play safe.
1. All the fancy crap on your trucks screams "Charge me extra".
2. "I have... I have... I have... everything except a winch."
3. Who cooks their eggs before the bacon?
Does your Tacoma have Crawl Control? If so, could you have used it in the deep mud? I enjoyed watching this adventure. The rain made it exciting.
That's a good question. It does have crawl control. But my issue was my frame was sitting on the hard dirt and my tires were in the mud and had no traction in them or weight. So unfortunately it would have not worked with street tires. But thanks for watching. I love rain!
crawl control is next to useless in snow/mud.. you have to have some sort of traction for it to work or all 4 tires just spin... and spin, and spin..... my 2016 TRD OR got stuck in snow.. had it in 4 low, locker off, and crawl control engaged... all 4 just spun, and spun... had to get winched about 400ft back to the main plowed road... i think we used every tow strap our group brought..
You should be in 4x4 the entire time so you don't spin and dig. You should have better tires for this terrain as well. Running a street tire is going to cause spinning and make ruts.
Yeah yeah yeah. But nevermind all the guys running mud tires up to 54 inches bogging out there. Right, let's tell the guy with street tires not to make ruts.
Where were you at in this one? I missed it in the video.
Filmed in Richloam.
tires tires tires...... no need to go extreme but at least put on 4 AT tires to respect the trail...
Ehhh.
No recovery boards?
Nope. Still don't own any.
You ppl went camping and didn't bring any propane lanterns or other light sources?
Why would I bring a propane lantern? We had plenty of lights... Not sure what your point is.
Theres a thing called campfire...
Hey... What Radio are you running in that Tacoma? Is it factory or aftermarket?
Factory.
how do you not get lost? wow
It's really one big grid. The hardest part is trying to tell someone where you are.
