I would be looking in national forests instead of parks. Here, you’ll find many more serious over landing opportunities.
I am in the northern country, Minnesota, so for me Superior national forest is where it’s at, along with many of the state forests.
Here are some short video clips of overlanding in the North Shore area in cloquet valley state forest and in the lower superior national.

Here are some photos and video from the last trip. Got stuck deep in the bush on a very narrow trail. Risky turning around on a trail like this, but had no choice...encountered a dead end.
Here are a few videos:
Here are a few unedited videos of some bird fun. Have a good laugh!
I use my inreach explorer with my wifi iPad. I use both Earthmate and MotionX gps for nav. This combo is amazing. The SOS is important when I'm in Northern Mn in Superior National forest. No cell coverage. Also my wife likes the 2 way texting. I wouldn't spend the extra money for the Garmin...
I would be out driving and camping, but the MN DNR has closed all roads and trails in every state forest in the state due to warm, soft conditions...bummed. So, I'll be sitting on here all weekend.
I have a stock 2008 Sequoia that comes with 10" of clearance from Toyota. I have never had any issues, and I don't have the superior entry and exit angles of the 4Runner...so with that said, the 4Runner would be a great pick.
Last thing I bought was a satellite communicator for when I'm overlanding by myself in Superior National Forest in MN. Keeps the family happy.
Next purchase will be a front hidden winch this summer.
My 2008 Sequoia gets 15 on highway loaded with the roof rack and lights causing drag. Around town I'll see 12.5 loaded. With six kids, it's always loaded!
Added 4 new lights to the roof rack. Install looks like factory. Wire hidden on right side of windshield. Switch looks like factory as well. This is on my 2008 Sequoia.
