Thanks, Kent! It was lunar rock or white. I went with the special color. Wife likes it so you know how that goes.
Hey all! eriefisher here. I live about an hour west of Niagara/Buffalo between the lakes(Ontario and Erie) in Southern Ontario, Canada. Other than some semi regular road trips it's been a while since I've done any serious overlanding, at least off road anyway. I am recently retired/declared disabled, so I have started to take my passion of fly fishing to another level and overlanding will been the means by which it happens. Although it was something i did participate in when younger I won't likely be rock crawling or mud bogging but after the initial road drive I will be heading into the wilderness. Likely alone most of the time.
My current vehicle is a 2014 Nissan Titan SV King Cab with about 225k(140000mile). Really good condition and extremely well maintained. I will be scouring the forum for ideas about outfitting it better but right now other than a cap she's bare bones stock. Any suggestions let me know please.
My main goal this year is to drive west the the Columbia and Skeena river systems in B.C. to meet up with some friends and catch a few steelhead. This will be of course after I try and exhaust all the options here in the land of lakes(this likely will never happen).
Anyway, glad to be here,
Dan
Edit: Sorry, I forgot to post a pic of my rig.

Hello there. I'm new to the forum as well. I live about 45 Min SE of Niagara Falls.
I've hunted bear in Ontario and caribou way up in Quebec by the Hudson Bay (24 hour drive N of Buffalo) ... and went scuba diving in Tobermory...great shipwrecks there.
My wife and I want to do some overland exploring now.
If you know of any good overlanding type drives/trails/trips nearby, please let me know.
4 Runner is a bit dirty at the moment.....

That's some hard driving. 24hrs to Hudson bay is a good haul.
There isn't much in the way of good trail close by here but in and around Ottawa/Mattawa and through the Kawartha's there are some maintained trails. Many of the trails I used to run on many years ago no longer exist. Instead we have condos, great! I will let you know what I come up with.

Hello everyone,
I’m new to the overlanding culture but not to the off-road world. Looking forward to learning with y’all and enjoying the outdoors with our vehicles!
I drive a 1997 Chevy Z71, could still use more accessories to be more survivable

Hello fellow Overlanders! I just got started last summer and setup my 2018 Dodge Durango RWD with a rooftop tent for camping with the kids. I’ve expanded my fleet to a 1981 Shasta Class C 22’ RV which will be my main rig with the little kids. Still renovating it but I’m so excited to get back out there (between the CA wildfires and COVID limitations we’ve been so couped up!!)
Cheers!
Cheers!

Hey All,
I'm Gretchen From Nelson, BC, Canada I'm no stranger to back-country camping or off-roading. I'm joining this form to get help planning a rig build (JL), to help me get farther than I can currently go. Currently I'm ripping around in my '06 Forrester, but I've had several first and second Gen Toyota pickups over the years. Really excited to have something that is both a little more capable and accessible.

Ah yes, another Boxer lover. They are very adaptable dogs. You would probably enjoy coming Pheasant hunting with me. A Boxer hunts differently than a Pointer, but I get lots of birds without any problem, I just have to keep moving with him and be ready to shoot when he is ready to flush. I use a remote collar in vibration mode to keep him close by.
