I think I just got "thread bombed" lol. My welding company had a 2009 RAM1500, was a nice machine. I probably pass near where you live all the time (I commute to Northern Ohio from NJ often). Guys, I want to hear your advice to John about his question, I could learn something as well.

Sounds like a cool idea to overland there. What would you recommend as a smaller rig? I kinda thought a small off-roader was an oxymoron (typical off-roaders, I mean without over-the-top mods).

I don't know the ins and outs of frame mods, but from all the articles and videos I've seen online on GX470s (hey, if it's on YouTube it must be true, right?), they seem to be able to go almost anywhere (not sure about the Rubicon trail or someplace like that). Are there specific advantages of...

Actually when I read the part about going 60 I imagined he meant off-road.

If you shouldn't brake downhill what should you do instead?

Thanks guys, you're awesome! I appreciate the responses; each post really helps me out! And right, should've said what my goals are. Drives near Jersey or Ohio every weekend, with occasional week-long trips (probably a few times a year), within the continental U.S. Going with at least 2...

I totally relate to saying "shogun/pajero/montero", translating to my European friends what we have in the U.S. Where I lived it was called the Pajero.

Hi guys. Have my kid for the weekend, so I've been a bit busy (but certainly grateful!). I completely did not expect so many of these helpful responses. I truly appreciate you all reaching out. I probably should've stated before, I don't have a rig for overlanding yet. I'm planning on...

Hi, I'm new to overlanding, and off-roading. I've read that you should never engage 4WD unless you're in a low traction situation, otherwise you'll mess up a lot of things. So is there an exact minimum on how, for example, wet the road has to be?

Hi everyone. Just joined the forum yesterday, got into overlanding recently (hope I'm in the right section!). I've hiked since as long as I can remember, and used to be a welder some years back (I do bookkeeping now. Quite a contrast, I know). Grew up in Northern Ohio (live in Central Jersey...

Hi, just joined here yesterday (new to overlanding). That rig is eye-candy to look at. The posts in this thread are like an ongoing story. I thought I could learn a thing or two by reading them. I have a few questions: Do you go off-road with that rig? What kind of differential do you have...

I've heard the expression "The best rig to overland is with what you already own". There's a lot of truth to what you're saying. I've done camping and exploring as long as I can remember (since I was 6 years old, in the Allegheny Mountains). Sure, there are plenty of easily accessible places I...

I also have a ton of questions too.

Thanks! Glad as well to be here. Uh... I drive a 2019 Corolla. What I think I need is a rig that can handle forest trails (and occasional river crossings and rocky terrain). I read up a bit on the subject on off-roading and what it takes. Where should I post my "plan" so I could get some input...

Hi everyone. My name's Zach. I'm an avid hiker, and formerly being a fabricator (never car-related though), have always been into nice rigs. Was introduced to overlanding recently, and got completely hooked. Located in Central NJ (frequently commuting to Northern OH). Don't have a rig yet for...
