Congratulations on passing you exam

My answer is yes. One trip on mostly paved and nice gravel road, we side tracked to a town called Eagle Alaska after doing the Top of World Highway and the station in Eagle was closed, so to get a fuel station I needed my extra 10 gals of fuel I had. My trip last year, we could of side tracked...

Find a local Toyota club, the information can be great

Jeff look at this. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/tracks-to-tomorrow-ttt-announcements-only-thread.228662/

I have a 2020 Tacoma, but I didn’t look at full size pickup because MPG, for me it was about size and places I go or want to go. I get about 16-22 mpg on the road, depending on winds, my speed and other stuff, so not great MPG and I know of some full size trucks that get similar MPG, like a Ram...

Ace Brown did a lot of the planning, not sure if someone else is doing it now, but a good group of people and worth looking at.

To keep warm, get some “Army blankets” to put over your sleeping bags.

Jeff i do not know of a Ford group. Are you over 50? https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/retired-ol’-farts-trip-announcements.184972/page-48#post-2982205

I have a lock & roll hitch on my trailer. I have over 50k miles on it over highways and off road and never had a problem with the hitch. My setup looks like this...

Had to look up Stanley. What vehicle are you driving? There is a great Toyota group on another forum in the Albuquerque area that does some trips. There is also a great Jeep group there, no forum, but they are more about day trips and rock crawling. There is also an Old Farts group on another...

nice truck, I like the limb risers

Yes, big black trash bags, it's so much easier to pull that out and dump it. I keep in place using about 8 of those black paper clips around the edge.

Time to go sit outside and have Pappy Van Winkle & Jefferson Reserve Cabernet Cast

While they are defining “Overlanding”, I believe their opinions and not much else,.Why didn’t they define what’s an “Overlanding Rig”, do you have to have a Land Cruiser or Land Rover or will a pickup or motorcycle work, does it have to forge 40” of water, does it need 35” tall tires, does it...

if other people don't think I am overlanding, that is none of my business, I'm having fun doing what I am doing, what ever you want to call it

I love some of the replies here. By the story, I guess I am not an overlander and I guess I will never be one. Like others have said, not sure why there is such a definite definition to it. I think there is Overlanding and then maybe International Overlanding. I would love to drive the Pan...

Just did about a 100 mile round trip 7400ft to 5600ft running 60-65 mph and my fuel miles was 19.9mpg going and 17.9mpg on the return. my truck is highly modified

your tires are 2.5" wider than slomatt, so there is one reason. I didn't see anything about what speeds you are driving to get your MPG's? Do you punch it off the line? Also what tire pressure are you running? When was the last tune up? does it have stock gears? there are a lot of factors...

Wilderness. I love my Tacoma, but doesn’t fit your requirements

just outside of NM
