    Member map showing me in the wrong country

    Hey all, I've been trying to fix this for a while, Im on the west coast of Canada, and the member map keeps showing me in the extreme south east of the USA, like 5 thousand km from where I am. I tried from different computers, clearing caches, etc. Tried a bunch of suggestions but nothing seems...

    Starting my rear build

    2011 4runner SR5. Seats weighed in just under 100lbs, so freed up some weight. Gave another five inches of height clearance too. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Starting my rear build

    Ok step 1, removing the 3rd row seats. Came out pretty easily in less than a half hour. Next step to build the drawers and fold our bed system. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Garmin inReach Explorer+

    Line of sight to the sky tho right? Still easier for me to manage if I'm way out in the bush, our cell reception doesn't cover well at all in a lot of areas

    Hello from Canada

    Vancouver Island here, Hi everyone, Im John, I drive a 2011 T4R SR5, I call her the "ReedRunner", rocking some Wrangler Duratracs, getting ready to upgrade suspension and shocks. Pretty new to offroading, overlanding, I am stoked to experience more of it! @Lukas Nice to see other Islanders...

    Garmin inReach Explorer+

    Anybody tried one of these out? I still want to get a CB, but none of my friends have a CB, and when we are way out there, we live in such a heavy rainforest area, that I've read the CB's wont have much range. These Garmins though as long as I can get to a place I can send a signal, I can...

    2011 T4R SR5 "The ReedRunner" (Pre-Build stage)

    Hey everyone, I am extremely new to mods/builds, etc, and am new to pretty much everything with vehicles as I mostly have lived where I could bus, or had a beater car. So I've been doing some research on modifications/upgrades for my '11 4Runner. But before I get into that, maybe I should...

    I definitely want to upgrade. I just got new tires and I want to upgrade the shocks and suspension but I think I wanna get a roof basket and bumpers done so I know what my general Weight will be on trips before I decide on what shocks and suspension to upgrade to. Thoughts?

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Cruising out to the rainforests up a new road! It was really great to get out into the wild.

    OB Approved What is "Overlanding"?

    I really really appreciate the friendly, kind, vibe from this community. I am BRAND new to owning anything other than a beater car. I checked out a bunch of local 4x4 sorta groups and communities and it was just incredibly negative, elitist, often D**K measuring contests, and who ever didn't...

    Member Map Issue

    Hey my map was working fine, but now it shows I'm in Pennsylvania, which is the opposite side of the continent from where I am. I've tried clearing cookies, logging out, logging back in. I've adjusted my settings. very strange

    Vancouver Island/Gulf islands Region

    would love to see a Vancouver Island and Gulf islands region. Those of us that live off the coast on either the main island or one of the smaller ones (over 250,000 people) aren't always available to head to the mainland, especially with BC ferries charging so much to take your rig to and from.

    Bamfield, BC

    This is an easier run for those with well equipped rigs and more wheeling/crawling experience and a good beginner route. Bamfield is an amazing piece of Vancouver Island that is quite remote. Coming from the USA or the mainland, you need to ferry in to either Nanaimo or Victoria. Access...

    Vancouver Island Members?

    I know there aren't a ton of us yet but I wanna change that! The island is definitely it's own region apart from the main land, even if just because of the damn ferry being so expensive to take our vehicles on and off Haha. There's some pretty amazing places to hit up here on the island, lots...

    Vancouver Island Trip

    Hey guys Vancouver Island dude here. Definitely don't need to worry about snow unless you go up some of the mountains you'll be fine. Check out Sombrio beach, it's out of Victoria about an hour or so towards port Renfrew. There's a sign telling you its coming up in 500 meters then it's just a...

    Got my first vehicle that wasn't a beater car! I got this 2011 4Runner about a month ago. Loving it so far. Hoping I can learn how to go off road and 4x4. I really appreciate this community and its non-judgmental attitude I've seen so far. A lot of the 4x4 groups I checked out locally were all...
