A video on YouTube. In Cars, a Krater category.

Summary by Krater

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.

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.
