View attachment 83660 View attachment 83661 View attachment 83649 Hey Everyone! I just joined a few days ago, but I've been an avid offroader, camper all my life. I've been busy being a dad for the last 17 years and now that I'm in my 40's, my kids need less of my money, and have a little more cash in my pocket, I've decided to dive back into offroad. Low and behold what used to do (driving into the middle of nowhere and camping) is now a thing called overland, with all sorts of fancy accessories and cool stuff I want on my rigs. I am eager to outfit two of my three rigs for some adventure. I have a 2016 F150 4x4 with factory locker in the rear that's my daily driver. I'm about to install a mild BDS lift and 35" tires and am trying to figure out how far I want to go with it since it is my primary. I know I'll be adding offroad bumpers, cargo drawers and a bed rack eventually.
I plan to make my OJ era "Beater Bronco" my primary "overlanding" rig. I'm rebuilding my diffs with 488 gears and LSD front and rear, doing a 4" lift and 35" tires. I already installed an offroad rear bumper (to replace the stock bumper I destroyed offroad!) and am adding a spare tire carrier and storage drawers in the back. I have an NP205 transfer case I plan to upgrade/rebuild and eventually pair it up with an NP203 with a doubler and triple stick kit. Anyway, as you can see: I really enjoy trail rides and offroad, I also enjoy camping and hiking and hope to get an RTT on the Bronco and other gear eventually. I've never outfitted a vehicle for overland and am hoping to learn a bunch here and make some friends in the Reno/NorCal area to do some adventuring.
I also have a 1968 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser I'm in the middle of restoring (mod). It is sucking up a lot of resources, but I'll be diverting some funds the Bronco's way latter this winter and spring.
Thanks for having me!
