[M Rose]

Hello, I’m Devin out of Portland, OR.

Rig: 2019 4Runner TRD Pro

Experience: New to off-roading/overlanding, learning a lot from folks in my local community, forums, YouTube, podcasts – soaking it all up and having a blast.

I work as a digital marketer and spend most of my work hours in front of a computer. I love what I do but needed some contrast. Since purchasing my vehicle I’ve joined local off-roading groups and met some awesome people who have showed me the ropes. I’m hoping this community will provide similar kinds of interactions and encourage me to get out on the trails more often!

I’d say I’m in the rig-prep and skill building phase currently. My ultimate goal is to go on longer distance adventures with my wife and daughter – quality family time in the great outdoors.

Hope to talk shop with you all and see you on the trails!

Cheers,

Devin

Better late than never, eh?
I've been offroading and active in the community since I bought my first Jeep in 1995. I started on the East coast but I'm now located smack in the middle of the US. I have explored areas almost every state in the lower 48. I co-host The 4x4 Podcast, the longest-running offroad and overlanding podcast. Current vehicles in the garage are my 2017 Ram Rebel, 2003 Jeep TJ, 2017 Toyota Rav4 hybrid, and 1995 Ford Ranger STX 4x4. For work, I've been in Emergency/Critical Care since 1992.

Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route. I was sleeping inside the truck (quite comfortably too) for this trip. The back seats fold up to form a platform that fits a sleeping pad perfectly. The only modification I'd suggest is a set of wind deflectors to accompany the screens I made. It would have been nice to help keep fresh air flowing and condensation out, while still providing some protection from the rain.

As the truck sits now. Switched to an ATC topper with a rack. Makes camping much better.

Newest trucks to the fleet are my son's first vehicle, a 1995 Ranger. This should be a fun project. As of last week, a 2003 Jeep TJ for my wife. This one is her DD and won't see much trail time.

Hello Kirk (@Kirk T ), welcome from Oklahoma.
I see you are a ham. Hopefully you can join our weekly Friday night Echolink net.
Time : 5:30PM Pacific Standard Time or 17:30 hours Pacific Standard Time
Where : Echolink Node 591550 (USA-GNG) known also as Grits N Gravy, DMR TG 1137550 and Allstar 41130
Anyone can listen only here www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/29437/web
If you don't have access to an Echolink/DMR/AllStar enabled repeater don't worry, many of us use the app anyways.

Hello Prerunner1982,

Thanks for the invite. I will try to check it out. Right now all I have is an Yaesu FT60, so I will not be able to get on echo link I think; or can i get to it through a repeater? I need to research that. I would appreciate some feedback so i can get on the net for sure. I will be checking in on getting a radio that can get on the net through Echo link if not. I will go online through the link you provided and take a listen. I have an FTM400XDR also, but currently not hooked up. I will be installing it in the jeep very soon. I am waiting on my mounting option to get delivered.

Thanks,
Kirk

If there is an echolink enabled repeater in your area you could use that, with the repeater owners/trustee permission of course.
Otherwise the Echolink app makes it easy to participate.
