Hello. I'm Mike and am new to overland. Actually I've only read about it and watched alot of videos. I have camped in tents for years and slept in the bed of my truck twice with a kodiac truck tent. I sold all my gear but I'm wanting to get back into camping. Especially try overland. I own a 2005 F150 FX4. I'm wanting to build it up for adventure. Nothing too hardcore. I'm around St. Stephens, SC. Looking forward to meeting ya'll and some adventures. Thank you.
Hello!
My name is Martin. My wife and I live in the upper hills of Oakland CA. We just bought a 2019 taco Off Road access cab in Cement. I sold a business recently, so I'm retired for the time being. At 54, I'm still pretty active and look forward to exploring the West this year. I'm contemplating getting a Four Wheel Camper vs an overland setup. We've had pop-up trailers in the past and really liked the easy setup, a heater, storage, comfortable sleeping. We've never been interested in using the onboard toilet. Can we build and overland that ticks those boxes? I'd prefer to not have a FWC sitting on the driveway...
Into biking, hiking, fly fishing, travel, sports cars, food. I'm not really interested in getting the photo of three wheels in the air trying to climb a boulder with the truck.
Help finding links to a few threads on building a late model taco would be really helpful. I know that there is a lot of info here, but there is a lot to wade through.
Thanks
Martin

Oh yeah we're talking a different route this time, as before we were in SC we came from central CA. Already planning the trip almost a year out haha. Never been to Moab but I think that'll be on the list.
Thanks for the registry link! Yep didn't see that until you showed it to me. Much appreciated!
Also here's a pic since I forgot hah:

Hey there and welcome!
I'm new here too, also starting my build from stock.
I've been looking at this front bumper from SSO but haven't decided, but I'll probably go this route:
2014+ 4Runner Slimline Hybrid front bumper – CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN – Southern Style OffRoad
I like it because its not full size, weighs a whole hell of a lot less, but still has winch functionality and some damage resistance. I get the whole point of more heavy-duty front/rear bumpers but man, together those can add upwards of 1000 lbs to an already heavy 4Runner. Sure you can carry more gear but mpg would suffer as well as suspension, etc.
That's just me though!
Well said. Weight kills just like treking in the woods

Cool! There are quite a few OB members down there. I'm up north by 2 hours!

I live in Albuquerque, NM and recently inherited my parents' 1994 Isuzu Trooper, which has inspired me to delve into the world of overlanding. I have been an avid camper/backpacker since I can remember and I am super excited to mix in some vehicle dependent travel.

Hello Overlanders!
I'm moving from tent camping to more adventurous soft roading in my new rig. I'm new to this world and learning as much as I can as fast as I can. I'm looking forward to contributing to the community and I hope to meet some of you on the trails.
