Hello OB!

Matt from Pearland, TX.

Rig #1: 2021 Ford F150 Powerboost - 33" Nitto Trail Grapplers, 18" matte black method wheels, 2.5" front leveling kit, 2" rear blocks, Airlift airbags on rear, KB Voodoo bed rack, Decked system, etc.
Rig #2: 2022 Ford Bronco Black Diamond - 4 door, hardtop, 32" AT on stock steelies
Rig #3: 2021 Taxa Woolly Bear Overland Trailer - Roam Vagabond XL RTT, Truma Fridge, Renogy Solar panels, etc. etc.

I would say we are a fairly experienced family. Visiting a lot of state parks, national parks, etc. but completely off-grid we are learning the tips/tricks. Always looking for a reason to get out, meet new people, and just be outside as much as possible.
