AMERICA OVERLAND
AO: AMERICA OVERLAND PROJECT
THE PROJECT IN A FEW WORDS:
We are a small group of experienced travelers and filmmakers with a big plan. Our goal is reaching all the 63 National Parks and the 50 states through the most scenery parts of Canada. We want to drive all the way to Prudhoe Bay trough the most dangerous road US have, the Dalton highway.
My name is Tibor Albert Tóth, I’m an experienced traveler, a published writer and expert driver. In the past 10 years I have traveled through Europe. The last 6 years I have traveled, hiked, and climbed all over USA. I’ve been to all of the 50 states, multiple times and 49 National Parks of the current 63. All these years I’ve seen the most beautiful parts of Europe and the US, and decided I want to show it to everyone. So, what better way to do it then to make a 10–12-episode series of an off-road challenge with an overland expedition through the entire continent of North America
What’s our goal?
We really want to show you and others how beautiful this country truly The USA and Canada have many places that everyone should see. Even those who can’t go to see it in person, for any kind of reason.
Also, we hope that people will not only fall in love with our films but will get more involved with nature. Especially kids and young ones who might realize how much more adventure and excitement they can find outdoors than from any electronics. So please follow us, and leave your comments, and hopefully we can start our adventure in early April.
OUR VEHICLE
We have chosen a TOYOTA TUNDRA as the main car. We’re planning to build an ultimate off-road vehicle. This mean of transport is rarely used but seems the perfect choice to bring attention and enables an icebreaker for conversation with new people. This car will be recognized all over the country and Canada. Will
be often photographed everywhere. The reason I chose this particular car is because it’s a double cab with 8-foot bed for large storage space.

The itinerary of the 1st season
The itinerary is not definitive in which order we will visit the National Parks.
However, already know that I may face many obstacles, such as fund and weather. Just not to make another boring video series, we constantly will visit exciting places between National Parks. We like to show children and young adults that outdoor adventures provide more fun than online games and television.
Even though we have a lot of experience and been to all 50 states before and already visited 49 National Parks so far, we know there will be certain circumstances that makes things harder, such as not all National Parks are available by car, we need to hire a private boat, other places need to hire private pilot just to get into those parks.
A travel around the continents can’t be prepared in one day. We aim to start traveling in April of 2024 for one year.
SUPPORTING US
Why?
It’s so much more than just traveling cross country. We would like to travel all the National Parks within US and some in Canada. We would like to show to people that they should get more involved with nature. This Adventure show would be not only a simple travel show its about the outdoors as well. There Will be camping, hiking, exploring, we try to get involved children as well, to have them see, how important to save nature, and how much adventure waiting for them outside, more than front of television or online games. There are no better way to reach as much people as you can but create an interesting adventure show.

A CAR TO BUILD
Our decision was to pick a Toyota Tundra with double cab and long bed. We need the space for our equipment and camping. Also a 2nd generation Tundra has the look, and very reliable car. We all know the gas mileage isn’t the best, but don’t buy a Tundra if you cant afford it.
We believe we picked the best car in every aspects.
We already started to work on our car, and we like to be finished with the build the latest by early April, so we can start filming the first season of America Overland.
What we need to be done...
We like to lift the vehicle about 7″ from its original heights. In Canada and Alaskan wilderness, Utah unmaintained rocky roads, crossing rivers, and run trough deep mud patches, we need a high clearance vehicle with all terrain or mud tires in the size of 33x1250x20.
The front and rear bumpers needs to be changed, and we need an after market bumper with winch and good lights.
We need to cover the 8′ bed so we can use the place for cargo. On top we need to install a 2-3 person tent, to be able to sleep during this 4-6 months of constant traveling.
We will install two new steps or rocksliders, and skid plates under to protect the car. Thank you for our new sponsor, BORLA will provide us a new split exhaust system… just for the cool voice…
Lights: We already installed front and back new LED lights but it will be not enough. During off road at night on the front bumper I will need 3-4 good close range lights and on the top of the car I will need a light bar or another 4-6 lights for higher speed driving. Also will need light for the back if we need to work on the car at night, or for camping.
Interior, we will need a work pad, for camping and cooking, and storage.
We also planning to install an auxiliary power system, so we would have enough power for charging the drones, laptops, phones etc.
