This is my 4Runner. There are many like it but this one is mine. I’m starting with a 2021 4Runner Venture. Still pretty much stock. We’ve been on two trips so far: an overnight to Hull Mt in Mendocino National Forest to dial in our initial camping setup for a 3-week trip to Idaho and Wyoming...

Us too. We enjoy exploring to find that perfect scenic spot that’s tough to get to, then setting up camp for a few days to chill, hike, etc. My wife isn’t a fan of the rougher/sketchier roads, but she’s warming to it :)

I’ve been issued a similar prohibition :) Kris

Has anybody tried this: https://huel.com/products/huel-hot-savory Might be a good MRE-type backup… I’m not vegan, but I’m always looking for tasty ways to cut back on my consumption of animal products…

I’m looking for ways to protect my dog in an accident. Crash rated crates are bulky and expensive, so before I pull the trigger I’m curious if anyone has found any especially overland-friendly options. My dog is around 60lbs.

Looks like the 5lb Flame King tanks are back in stock everywhere. $55 on Amazon, but you might be able to find them cheaper with some hunting…

This is inappropriate. I assume you meant no harm, but this community is supposed to be for everyone. Jokes like this, besides contributing nothing to the thread, indicate to some that they are not welcome here.

I sure hope not! I’m really hoping to get one eventually :)

Thanks for sharing - it looks like a good time was had by all! Kris

This is very useful information :) I've been on the lookout for a 5lb tank for months. I was able to get an order in on overstock.com, and it looks like they still have some...

I recently joined the OL ranks with a 2021 4Runner Venture. I’ve been on one trip already and it’s very capable in stock form, but I'm eager to make it my own :) I plan to have regular maintenance done at the dealer for the time being, but can anyone recommend a good shop on or near the SF...

Not sure it this is the right place for bug reports. If there is a better place for this let me know & I’ll resubmit… There seems to be a problem using OB1 on more than one device at a time. I have an iPad and an iPhone and I use OB1 on both of them. The problem is, after I access it on one...

Thanks, this is a very helpful perspective! Start small, rely on the pros whenever safety is a concern, measure twice cut once. I kinda knew this was was the “answer” but it helps to be reminded by those who’ve been doing this for a while :) The internet is great, but since I decided to dive...

It seems a big part of the fun (for some anyway) is building out your overland vehicle exactly as you want it, with your own hands. Also, the nature of overlanding means being ready to make repairs in the field. I’m reasonably handy, but have very little experience working on automotive...

Ok, thanks. Now I get to reveal my ignorance: what’s the difference between a uniform patch and a morale patch?

I'm new to this thread (and the community) and I'm looking to start my collection. Among other things, I want to collect patches for the National Parks and Forests I visit. Does anyone know if there is an "official" vendor for these? I've found lots of random sites and Etsy vendors that sell...

+1 for a mid-peninsula location, but I’m biased :)

That’s about as hard as it gets to reach from the south, but it’s a cool spot so I could probably drag myself up there once a month. It’s certainly not any worse (in terms of time anyway) that schlepping all the way to Pleasanton :) If this comes together, I’d participate reasonably regularly…...

If you’re willing to go a bit farther, you could head up to King Range National Conservation Area. Maps estimate it’s about 4.5hrs from Vacaville. I’ve not been personally, but it’s on my list. It’s BLM land so dispersed camping should be fine, and there are a number of FCFS campsites that look...

I have nothing against SF, but getting in and out of the city can be a pain. Not sure where we’d find a suitable area for a meetup in the city with sufficient parking for a bunch of overland rigs :) I live on the mid-peninsula, and I’d be down for a meetup somewhere in the area. Kris
