Hello everyone, my name is Bert aka Bud member #7876. I'm from San Jose, CA. My rig is a blue 2004 Toyota 4runner v8 Limited. Bought it about a year ago and have been working in on it since. I'm new to overlanding, but my partner and I have a lot of experience off-raoding, camping hiking, dirt biking, etc. now just merging all that we love in to one.

Hello to all. My name is Seth. Originally I am from central Alabama but my family and I live in Copperas Cove, TX currently. My rig is a 2017 4Runner TRD PRO. Overlanding is new to me but like most on here the outdoors and adventure is a staple in my life.View attachment 36386

Hi All!

New member here from Eastern PA (Lehigh Valley). I've been binging the videos on YouTube and really enjoying this community. So let me get into some details :-)

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
I'm starting over! I just landed in a new 2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad. Excited to create my rig and get it out there in the world.

2) Location (General area is fine)

Like I said, I'm in the Lehigh Valley of PA and I love to drive. So I'd be interested in any meets to get involved with the community.

3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)

Pic above of my current set-up, but I've previously built and used a 2011 Xterra Pro-4X. Was a great vehicle for me, but had to trade it out for reasons i won't get into. I missed the capability and ability to overland, so I'm back! Here's some pics of the Xterra.

4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)

I would consider myself "somewhat" experienced, but still a lot to learn!

Looking forward to learning from you all and living this ADV life!
Hi, and welcome to OB! Nice looking Tacoma! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Welcome and glad to see another Durango fan on here. To bad the after market is dwindling for these vehicles but don't let that stop you. It will still take you places.
I too liked the Durango but didn't they only make the new ones two wheel drive?
