To give you a idea Of what you actually need to explore I had a 1988 Camry that for about 4 years was my go to camping /fishing /backpacking ride mostly because I knew I could leave it for a couple days at a trail head and it would be there when I got back . Now I mostly just used it on trips...
You should be more proud to Overland a stock rig than having a Instagram ready fully outfitted “overland built” With RTT ,awnings and a fully built “kitchen “ that spends more time to display their newest titanium spork and led light setup proudly displayed in a blacktop parking spot At a local...
If your staying in cascade locks the night before swing by the drive through ice cream shop and if you dare and are hungry enough get a large ice cream cone . They also have amazing BLT sandwich’s and oinion rings .
Something else to think of. how much will swapping tires and wheels cost and how much better will the mpg be Now figure out how many miles you’ll have to drive to make it beneficial financially, some times you may be surprised ( Especially with our low fuel prices ) how long it will take to...
I let the well worn leather like calloused skin of my hands be my gloves.
jk a good leather glove that’s just loose enough to get on and off easily and quickly
Look into the weight of the tire and wheel together while the tire might be smaller depending on its construction it could weigh more than the larger tire and steel wheels typically do weigh a lot more And the more your tire and wheel combination Weighs the more of a hit you’ll take on mpg
Maintenance ,maintenance, maintenance . All the bolt on goodies and upgrades in the world won’t mean a thing if you blow a hose or loose a belt and can’t drive .
Organize your gear
Make sure everything has a place and is easy to find and load up . To much time spent looking for gear or...
If your worried about daily driving I’d skip the toyo mt , really heavy tire and being a MT you will see a big drop in mpg . And generally you want to go with the smallest rim that will fit over your brakes . The more rubber you have the more dampening you will get from the tires and when aired...
Just picked this up and fortunately/unfortunately it has new tires on it so a tire upgrade will be further down the road .Has all the factory bells and whistles, Bose stereo , leather
No real build plans for it just maintenance and light upgrades

It’s funny (at least for me ) my car is the cleanest right after I buy it and the day I get it ready to go up for sale , there is something satisfying about getting all the little scratches out and making it shine .
Find a direction you want to go and you’ll find roads , we have so many forest service roads it’s frightening . You never know what you may find , unfortunately you will find a lot of gates blocking off logging land so backtracking happens a lot .
And unless you actually plan on traveling the backcountry at night lights are a complete waste of money and time , but hey they will make your instagram photos cool .
