Hey Everyone!

Finally moved back to Sun Valley, ID and got myself a new rig to adventure with!

2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road
Current mods I've installed so far:
N2 Designs Remote Start
SpeedForm Throttle Controller
3TPAM Accessory Mount
CBI Overland Bars

Near Future Mods:
Roof top tent
Front bumper w/winch
Rock sliders

I'm a novice to the whole overlanding thing. I've never modified any of my vehicles, until very recently. Gone out several trails in my area and plan on exploring more and more! Especially when I get my tent!

Excited to join the community and hope to make some new friends!
Hello Brett, welcome to the OB community.

Hey All,
Calling home Long Beach CA with my stock 2019 4Runner Off Road purchased about 30 days ago. Been riding side by sides and dirt bikes for years but in a full sized vehicle, novice is the word.
If you can call them that, mods this year are full roof rack and a hard shell tent to get the ball rolling.
Next year or two would be a winch and suspension system. When that time comes I'll likely check back here to see what the community has done.


I have been doing alot of noodling around on the interweb over the last year and found OB.
"Adventure is Necessary!" are the words and Michael and Corrie are the people that drew me to being a member.
Looking forward to the future.

-Dan

Hello all!

Location: Midcoast region, Maine, USA
Rig: 3rd gen Tacoma, mostly stock slowly working on the upgrades
Experience: Proficient. I have traveled and explored by vehicle extensively to simply satisfy my wanderlust, but to also set up basecamps for further backcountry exploration via canoe, kayak, backpack or sailing vessel.

Hello everyone. I'm David
Location: Delaware
Rig: 2018 Jeep JLU Rubicon
Experience: Novice to Overlanding, but I've been off roading in Pennsylvania several times to prepare, and I've camped with the Army a few times.

I'm preparing to retire soon, so I'm fixing up my rig before I push that button.

Hi, Im Roger
I live in Pismo beach on the central California coast.
I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma Offroad
I get out off roading and rock crawling as much as my 33" tires and lift will let me get away with.
