Hi from northwestern suburbs of Chicago.

I recently purchased a 2013 Lexus GX460 with the hopes to build it out for overlanding. I realize there’s not too many groups or opportunities around the Chicagoland area but am hoping the community grows in the region so I can learn from those with way more experience than I have, which is none outside of camping .
