The creators build two identical 2002 Toyota Tacomas—one a $21,000 budget build and the other a $45,000 high-end build—and put them to the test on overlanding trails like Imogene Pass and Poughkeepsie Gulch to determine whether more expensive parts are truly necessary.
From the video
Answers: Are expensive off-road modifications worth the money for an overlanding Toyota Tacoma?
- 2002 Toyota Tacoma overlanding build comparison
- Budget vs high-end off-road modifications
- ICON vs Bilstein suspension upgrade test
- Kenda vs Nitto tire comparison on off-road trails
- ARB air locker vs electronic locker off-road test
- Imogene Pass and Poughkeepsie Gulch trail testing
What it concludes
- A stock Toyota Tacoma with just an e-locker is extremely capable off-road and does not require thousands of dollars in modifications to handle tough trails.
- Expensive suspension, beadlock wheels, and lockers provide notable performance improvements in extreme off-road conditions, but cheaper alternatives perform surprisingly well for daily driving and light overlanding.
