I'm blown away by this platform. I will start my participation here by introducing myself:

I'm Brazilian and while living there, I had the opportunity to explore many places in Latin America. I have a youtube channel and an Instagram where I share my adventures. The content is in Portuguese, but if anyone wants information about Overlander in Latin America, feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to help. There I had a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2004 3.0L turbo diesel intercooler 1KZTE that I was preparing to explore the whole world when I retired.

View attachment 248122

Plans changed and I was relocated to Colorado, at the end of 2022.

I already where I am preparing a new vehicle to explore the region.

Since I was passionate about my Prado, I had no doubt about my new vehicle to explore Colorado: Lexus GX470! After looking around a lot, I found one with just under 100k miles extremely clean. Now I'm starting to transform it into an Overlander vehicle.

I look forward to learning more about the Colorado region with you!

Good to see a meet up in Modesto. I was raised there and we did a lot of "overlanding" at the rivers, reservoirs, and mountains. I would guess some of those places have closed. I moved due to work. I have family in Modesto but have not been back in 20 years.

Hi All!

I'm new to overlanding, got a Freelander 2 a few years ago and got a roof tent last year, instantly realised this is what we wanted to do with our lives, travel with our dogs in our landy.

Based in the centre of the UK we've so far only done a few weekends away and then the NC500 route in Scotland and it's been a learning curve, but hope to make it onto the continent next year!
Day job I'm a web developer, but I also volunteer 24/7 for Mountain Rescue, as well as getting involved in local flood response - having the 4x4 has helped out a lot on shouts.

Want to thank @Mike W for his recent post on a D4 conversion which has brought me to the forum. Hoping to become a member later, just trying to justify the $33 shipping to the wife

Look forward to getting to know you all as time goes on!
