Hi, I'm Lynette and I live in Mandeville, LA (just across the lake from New Orleans). I"m originally from West Texas and have done a fair amount of tent camping and hiking, but have not done much in the last few years. I'm married to Paul (my resident automotive technician--seriously, he's been working on cars since before puberty) and we have a 2012 FJ Cruiser named Bertha (oh, and a 7 year old named Brody). This is our second FJ and we have just started on mods with a LONG list of "man, I really want to do this next...". Bertha got a little taller this past weekend (Brody probably did, too, we assume...). Next mod will probably be bumpers, but a platform roof rack and rooftop tent are high on my list. We have done zero overlanding and right now I'm in the research phase, but am ready to get out on some nearby trails before my son grows game controllers for hands.
