Hey all, new here from Central Arkansas, I have a 2016 tundra I was going to outfit, but felt I'd be better suited with something a little smaller, so recently acquired a 2014 nissan xterra, probably won't be many mods until next spring, just thought I'd drop in and check this place out.

Hello to all you wonderful people!
My name is Maya, born and raised in Croatia, enjoying life is TX, USA for the last 10 years.

I drive and camp in my 2017 Nissan Titan SL that has been lifted and rigged with some nice big tires. I have an ARE camper shell outfitted with some cool and useful mods.

My overlanding experience is modest, learning through adventuring is something I look forward to.

I’m excited to be here

Hello from Colorado!

So short story long…
Started messing around out in the Rocky Mountains back in the early 2000s after I picked up an ‘88 Pathfinder for $1000. Was a great truck, very dependable but also very under powered.

In ‘08 I sold the Pathfinder and bought an ‘03 4Runner and had many great adventures with the family in that truck.

With bad judgment at play, I sold the ‘03 in ‘18 to help fund the purchase of a new car for my wife. We all missed that truck and the fun it and adventure it brought us, so about a month ago I purchased a ’97 4Runner.

We’re excited to get back into the mountains and meet new friends!

I call it my “quarter century old, quarter million mile” tank.

Welcome to the community Todd! Hopefully we will get to see eachother out and about sometime in the near future. Things round here have been more or less winding down as seasonal closures approach. Keep an eye on Rally point we are hoping to hold a handful of meetups over the winter to meet everyone and keep in touch. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need help with anything. Cheers

Hello all. My name is Kyle

Have 2022 4Runner. San Diego Based. Look forward to crossing paths on an adventure!
Your dog looks great! Nice truck, too, but you know what I mean.
I'm in San Diego, too. Have you found/met any of the local clubs? I noted that there's an Overland Bound meet in Escondido (see the Rally Point tab) and that SD 4Wheelers have an event in January that's open to all rigs (ranging from my nearly stock Trooper on up to the gnar-gnar). There's some decent Facebook action for San Diego groups, too --especially for those of you with those Toyotas!
