Hey Guys, names Brian. My rig is a 2006 4Runner that I've been slowly building up. I'm located in the Washington DC metro area. I'm a novice at overlanding but used to camp a lot with the family when I was little. Now that I have two little ones myself, I want for them to enjoy the outdoors like I used to.

Hey everyone, I'm a new member here from the San Francisco Bay Area. My first experience with anything 4x4 was early last year when I got my 2017 4Runner TRD Pro. I've been totally hooked since and am excited to learn from the great community here!

Greetings from Virginia. I'm a soon to be retired airline pilot and look forward to free time for overlanding. The rig is an ever evolving 2011 JK often seen with a canoe on the roof.

Nice truck, like the ladder for the roof rack. Have to store that design in my mental file for my rig.

A little tight doing this with a phone!
Ara and Spirit here. Long story short...
Left for the road full time on November 6th 2006 with 95 BMW GS motorcycle and a sidecar for my buddy Spirit, rescued Pit. 8 years later while also having an off the grid Base Camp in Big Bend TX as the body needed new parts [that would be mine!] we ended up trailering three sidecar with a 2000 Ford f350 7.2 Turbo diesel 4x4 with lockers 4 doors [the good year!] mounted with a 2004 4 season Northern Lite slide in camper totally self contained. Needing more body work we sold The Oasis [Texas] and 6 months ago bought a great little home in Alamogordo New Mexico 16 miles away from Cloudcroft, the Sacramento Mountains and Lincoln National Forest. Heaven! It will be shorter Journeys from now on exploring this Gem of a State and of course the adjacent ones with camper only! The sidecar is for local rides now. Our tenting days are over after 11 years full time camping. [hips, spine plate, bypasses, stents and more stents!
I have kept a mental and photographic Journal since day one
www.TheOasisOfMySoul.com
and also now giving credit to our new State
www.TheNewMexicoRoads.com
Hoping all this makes sense!
Stay well.
Ara and Spirit
