    New to OB from central Oregon

    Why on earth, did you trade Boise, for Bend? Curious... We really looked at Bend in 1990, 91 as a location, to get us out of the San Francisco Bay Area. We moved to Boise in June of 92. They are similar. Boise has grown over the last 25 years... So, you're new to Bend! Lots of fishing...

    Shocking

    I've run Rancho's both booted and unbooted. I think it really depends on it's use. I hate Mud, specifically Owyhee Gumbo. It's slick, sticky, and gets everywhere. In fact, I unbooted the Rancho's after cleaning mud from an Oregon Trail trip. The 62 Series is unbooted in the front and...

    Welcome to OB, Bend has some great places to wheel and overland. I'm in Boise, ID - so we most likely will cross paths!

    Keeping iPad charged while driving

    In all seriousness, buy an expensive USB2 (cigarette lighter) adapter! Before you plug it in - verify that the Cigarette Lighter is putting out proper voltage & amperage. I run two cables - 1 for my iPhone and 1 for the iPad Pro. Zero problems. In the Forester, we charge my wife's tablet...

    How many overlanders are there in North America?

    Moak, you ask a question, that doesn't really have an answer. I think it would be very difficult to determine #'s in North America or a Global basis. There are very expensive, fully decked out 100 Series LC's who have never, ever been "Off Road" let alone "Off-Highway"... Then there are...

    25 Year Import Ban [Action]

    Since our 62 Series is an 88, I'd import a 90, 91 HJ 80 Series, or Troopie. . . Parts could be sourced from Gibralter Toyota. I'd also import a 1990 Mercedes Uni-mog - These units are available in Canada and Mexico, with Left -hand Drive. My biggest concern is the ability to purchase...

    looking at vehicles, how insane do I need to go for overlanding?

    In addition to the LandCruiser, my daily-driver, trail runner is a 2006 Forester. It's been down some knarly jeep trails, put it into Low Gears a go. We swap out the Street tires for medium All-terrains when I know we are headed to the Owyhee Back-country and canyons. It's my favorite...

    Who's in the Region?

    Hello All, from Boise, Idaho. The 62 series Land-cruiser doesn't get as much exercise these days, most of our travels are in the 2006 Subaru Forester. The Mrs and I spend lots of time out fly-fishing, sight seeing and visiting places we haven't been to before. See you outdoors.
