Sweet man I'll try to make the May 11th one as that is actually my b-day and the fiance might have something planned. Do you know where I could look for info on meet-ups/day trips?

Hello and thank you for the kind welcome and having us aboard. My wife and I just ordered a 2019 Intech Flyer Pursue in Silver Moon with the Adventure package which is a close color match with our Silver Tundra Crewmax. Ours is being built will take delivery mid June. We are both retired and live in Western North Carolina in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. There are many places to camp in the Blue Ridge mountains and foot hills. We are blueberry farmers in the mid summer when we are not traveling and camping. We are all about adventure camping and off the beaten path expedition camping. Here are a few a photos of the Overland camper we are having built.

We chose the InTech Flyer Pursue as it is lightweight all aluminum, rugged, and very well built, tall people sleep room friendly and garage friendly. We particularly wanted this camper as it will fit in our garage. We did not want to pay storage fees.
We look forward to learning, making campfire friends, and passing forward knowledge to other like minded Overlanders!
Cheers!

Welcome to Overland Bound

 

[RafterJB]

Hey y’all I’m Justin
From: Hooks, TX.
Experience: novice/moderate
Rig: 08 Toyota Tacoma TRD. Just bought it last week for the future wife and I to get started in the overland world. I also have an 86 FJ 62 that I’m slowly working on when I get a chance. In the meantime the taco will have to do.
Took it out on its maiden voyage this weekend and was honestly quite impressed. It did great for being all stock plus it was very comfortable for the future wife and I, plus the 3 dogs. After getting home my mind has ran rampant with ideas for the taco. Now if I could only win the lottery

 

[Trent Munson]

Hello! Trent here, I'm a few miles south of Houston/ Pearland, Texas. I am new to the "overlanding" world. I have a 08 JKU Sahara that we've had for several years. Not a lot of modifications have been made to it. It's been able to get me where I've needed it to, as is, so far. I'm currenty building a trailer for my RTT, to use as a base camp when we go out. I'm actually proud and excited about this project. Hope it turns like I've imagined, and we are excited to get out and see different parts of the country.

Welcome

 

[Trent Munson]

What all do you plan on putting in the trailer?

Potable water w/ pump for shower and dishes. Power for the pump, lights, and portable electronics. I have a 2 burner stove and propane bottle I'm trying to figure out how to mount.

This will basically be loaded so we will be trip/adventure ready at a moments notice.
