    Pretty cool video.

    I squeeze off-roading into my daily commute because it doesn’t really lengthen my commute due to the traffic on the paved roads, and I like to hit the gravel when I’m out running errands, but this is a whole other level.

    That guy's channel will ruffle a lot of feathers around this place. It's pretty funny. He constantly mocks the "overglamper" community.

    and this one... he's definitely playing it up for an audience by minimizing the challenges of taking even what you need on longer trips.

    One thing I have been thinking about is the never ending cycle…you wheel, you decide you can’t accomplish enough, so you “upgrade” and then try harder stuff and figure out you can’t do it, so you upgrade again.

    Sometimes you don’t really know if your improvements have really worked, because most don’t use math and science to fully analyze things.

    In my case, I did a bunch of mods all at once, and have spent the last few years learning how much I can push it. I'm pretty sure the 4Runner is capable of pretty much anything I'd ever want to attempt.

    Funny thing is that I never got stuck when it was stock. But, as soon as I had armor and a winch, I started trying more difficult stuff and getting stuck. But, when I've gotten stuck, it's generally because of my lack of skill or poor decision making.

    Now, I've gotten to the point where I can get through a lot of things where I'd have gotten stuck in the past.
