Thanks Rich, looks like you have an awesome 4runner. My wife has a 2020 4runner TRD off road premium ( she hasn't let me do anything to it...yet).

Yet. :)
Mine is heavily modified, it is my retirement present to go overlanding in and to get out of Phoenix in the summers.

Hello all!
Current location: Joshua Tree, California
Former: San Luis Obispo, California & Madera, California
Current vehicle: 2018 Jeep Rubicon JLU
Former: 1985 Toyota Hilux & 1988 Jeep Wrangler
Overland Experience: I’m just okay
Why Overlanding? I’ve always been a person of curiosity and traveling and seeing other people and places have been a big part of me. Been a huge people person and learning how people live and grow and where they come from have always been a huge interest of mine. Growing up in the Central Valley, two hours travel in any direction can give you quite the different change of scenery from each other. With the Sierra Nevada’s in my backyard, been an outdoors person has always been a huge part of where i love to be. I’ve been one that also loves “tinkering” with things, and getting into automobiles and understanding how they tick, was a great way of understanding and controlling your machine.
Overlanding is a great chance to connect all those favorite things with others in the community from many diverse areas with the same outdoor attraction!
Come by and say Hi!

Nice Rig!

Hi Everyone. Brand new member here. Complete novice overlander trying to get started. I am an experienced dirtbike rider but very little off-road truck experience. I have a new 2021 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 OR and want to try a few day trips to get used to off-roading before we start overlanding. I live in San Clemente in Organge County California. Would love to hear tips and advice and if there are any meetups. I am originally from the UK so have a funny accent LOL.

Hello Graham and Welcome from Arizona!
Enthusiast II
Hello, new member here. My name is Kyle and I'm brand new to overlanding. Watched too many overlanding YouTube videos this past year and now it is time to get out and try it out. Bringing my wife Barbara and my Daughter Evie along for the ride.
Currently own a 2006 Nissan Titan, but have a Bronco on order if Ford ever actually builds it.
In the meantime we have started "camping training" and gear shakedown trips. Our first was to Roosevelt State Park for a quick overnight trip to test how the 4 year old did. That went well so at the end of the month we are headed to Tishomingo State Park for a weekend trip. When we work out the kinks of our camping setup and gear, we plan on taking off the training wheels of the powered and water hookup camp sites to explore and hit trails and do the more traditional / primitive / dispersed camping.
I am looking forward to learning from the community here and hopefully find some members to join on some trips in the future so we can learn by example.

What do I carry in my First Aid Kits (FAKs)
I'm often asked what I carry in my kits so I wrote it down and made it a PDF so anyone can print it out. I recommend printing copies of what is in your kits and keeping them easily accessible so you don't have to hunt through your kit to see if you have that one thing you need. As I have Jedi...
