[Stone Johnny Overland]

Greeting from the frozen North Dakota country. This is the first 4Runner I’ve owned, but not new to Toyota. I have 3 tundras. We are brand new to this overlanding and have been getting real into it. Now we have a 4Runner we have purchased a Turtleback and will be hitting the roads and trails this summer. Definitely new and learning lots. Advice is welcome. Thanks everyone

Hello Everbody,

My name is Derek and I'm new to overlanding. I've been a avid camper and backpacker my whole life. I finally got a capable rig to get my deeper into the mountains to go backpacking and hunting and I'm stoked! I'm from Auburn, California and bought my dream truck. It's a 2015 Tacoma Trd Offroad with a revtek 3" lift with 265/70R16.

New to the boards - just wanted to pop in and say hi from Toronto, ON CANADA

Got a Tacoma TRD - currently a weekend warrior (snowboarding fishing camping trips).

Wanted join to see if overlanding is for me, before I dump $$$$$ into prepping the Taco. Anybody local to Toronto will tell you how different the “scene” is here.

Hi everyone,

Excited to join the community!

[K9Overland]

Hello Everyone, We are Nikki and Hugh (AKA K9Overland). Our home base is our 2017 JKU (3rd overland vehicle) and we have been overlanding for quite some time. We are currently in NH but are heading out to the southwest (Utah/AZ) to find a new place to call home base and open up a dog training/boarding facility as well as teaching some survival courses. We have a beautiful Shepherd/Wolf mix (Lily) who goes with us everywhere. We do a lot of hiking so we tend to have a more minimalist style of overlanding. We are a zero impact style of overlander and always leave our sights better than we found them. We have a habit of cleaning dirty campsites we see so our biggest problem tends to be where to store all the exes trash we pick up until we can dump it. Pleasure to meet everyone and we look forward to meeting new friends and contributing to the community here. Oh and here is our HOME!

 

[Broncobroke]

Hello everyone. Thanks for letting me join in. I have a Tundra CM I am in the process of building for many off road trips. My wife and I always enjoyed camping and getting outdoors. I am here to learn and listen. Thanks again.
