Hello Everyone

My name is Stephen but everyone refers to me as Bodie or Bo. I'm located near the Adirondacks in New York. Last year around this time I picked up a 2021 Toyota 4 Runner Venture Special Edition. Little did I know that this vehicle was going to change the way I look at the outdoors. I graduated from grad school in May and moved in with my best friend Liz. So far we have camped a few places in the Adirondacks, places around upstate NY, and Acadia National Park. I am an admin for 518 Yotas on Facebook. It's a group that was started for Toyota Folks to go camping, do trail rides (Tread lightly), and have fun.

Currently, the 4runner sits mostly stock. Between the pandemic and saving up, I decided to save for the whole year before outfitting the truck.
I do have a Midland MXT 275 GMRS radio installed - Call sign - WRKJ700.

As for plans to outfit the 4runner - next purchase will be recovery gear, then tires/suspension, and lastly a bumper ( not sure if I want to do both front and rear or just front)

I'm looking forward to learning and growing with this community and meeting some awesome people.

Thanks
Bo

New here been doing some of this for years. we called it off-roading or wheeling. got a 2017 F250 and just ordered a cab hi shell. We enjoy all kinds of outdoor stuff from mtn biking, dirtbikes, hunting, fishing, canoeing and backpacking. We have had a couple different campers in the past and really enjoyed that but, are now wanting something a little simpler. So been looking at different drawer/platform setups. Great site for conjuring up ideas for sure.

Evening all new to the community. Living and working in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Have been building my Ford F-150 2015 over the past five years. It’s gone through a few versions and have finally settled in stealth camping in the truck bed since having it fitted with a SnugPro shell.

Welcome to OB, Geraint! We're glad to have you here. I like how subtle your rig is, doesn't draw too much attention. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, thanks for letting me join the community. New guy in New Mexico, using my 2014 tundra crewmax. Lots of experience in the outdoors but just getting into Overlanding. Also love motorcycle camping off my 2014 bmw r 1200 gs. Two wheels or four, I just appreciate being out and off of pavement. Looking forward to the group, thanks!
