Hello all!
We are Igor and Katrina from San Diego.
Just got a 2022 4runner TDR-off-road.
We have been camping for a while, but have zero experience in off-road travel. We would love to benefit from the wisdom of the OB community.

Hello Everyone!

I’m Will and I’m from Northern Virginia. I drive a 2007 Toyota Sequoia with a handful of basic mods (level, lights, cosmetic). I’m new to overlanding and have yet to really venture out there but I’m hoping to make camp in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests this summer.

Welcome.. the best wisdom... Take it offroad!!! There is no substitute for what right wheeling feels like. Learn the quirks and limits of your vehicle and trust the ability you find it has. Stuff flexes further that you think. Rock bumping sounds worse than it is.. airbags have a surprisingly high tolerance for bumping into stuff. And a good rule of thumb.. if you have to "throttle" through more often than not, then you need deeper gears.. the less effort it takes your rig to get through the least risk of breaking stuff
Thanks for your reply. Just going out and off-roading is the conclusion we came to as well. Have done some easy local stuff around home and had a blast. Now we're looking to go with a group on something more adventurous, hopefully OB will help with that. Also planning to take a I4WDTA course in October to get some actual 4WD instructions. However, October is long wait when we're this exited!

Hi Igor and Katrina,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

4runners are great overlanding rigs I think. Enjoy.

Hello Everyone!

I'm Oscar, a relative novice to the overland world but eager to start exploring. I'm in Northern California, near the bay area, and try to venture out with my wife, Kai, and our Lab as much as possible. We roam about in a lightly modified 2019 Toyota Tundra.

Look forward to meeting new people and exploring cool new places!

Thanks for the add!
