Not Overlanding but camp shots none the less. Taken with my IPhone. 2023 Deer Camp in Michigan

Welcome Rob! Love the Subaru. I used to have a lifted Outback. I drive a Tacoma now. Love seeing a Michigan business!

Interesting thread. This is something I’ve contemplated hard in the last year to year and a half since I’ve made the transition from “camping” to “Overlanding”. I do agree with a lot of the points made and it’s crazy how everyone thinks they need $4k suspension and the badass top of the line...

Oh yea! Plan is to cut all the steps off now and repaint the rails. If the steps weren’t there then nothing would have hit but I still think it’s time for some proper rock sliders! Probably next spring I’ll be picking up a set.

I thought this may be a good time to give a nice update on this thread. After 1 full year of wheeling a lot. I was wheeling hard and I can confidently come back to this and say that my wheels were plenty for what I encountered in 3 states. Did I find some moments where bigger would have been...

Thanks to all you guys who have shared. Just makes me more excited to get back out and adventure. I put together a little video of some of the clips I got.

Hello everyone! I just returned safely from a highly anticipated overland trip from Michigan to the Canaan Valley area of West Virginia. We drove out early Thursday morning but had to cut the trip short due to vehicle issues. Thursday night when we arrived we had a house rented so that way...

Just wanted to update this thread. I used this setup for the first time this past weekend. Aired up from 25 psi up to 35 psi in just under 15 minutes

Not sure if this will even be a useful thread to anyone but..... A few months back I got a Viair 88p air compressor with points from tire rack and so far its been good. I found that I never wanted to move gear from my backseat to get to it. Or I wouldn't want to put it away hot inside the bag...

Cooper Discover Rugged treks for Overlanding. They’re 2ply sidewall and 5ply tread is that adequate for off-road use.

Those are the factory steps. And yes rock sliders are my next mod. I already have a full set of skid plates on the way!

Also a question for some of you guys. The cooper discover rugged treks I got are 265/70r16 5ply tread and 2ply sidewall. Seems like lots of people recommended 6ply tread and 3ply sidewall. Should I be overly concerned about blow outs. I do have a full-size spare but obviously would like to avoid...

Love the off-roading in the compass! I had a lifted Outback with a manual for a little bit and that actually got me started with the off-road stuff. When I got the Tacoma it made every trail feel like a walk in the park in comparison. But then as I started to do some more research it seems like...
