Wow! I could be here for years reading all the intro's for over 100K members... This seems like a busy place. :grinning:

TrussGuy comes from an old (oooold) gamertag that has been long since retired, but since my initial choice was already taken, here we are.

I don't have a capable rig at the moment. Life circumstances had me replacing my xTerra with a 12 passenger van (that we use more than half of.) I've had other random 4x4's in the past but I've decided on and am currently looking for a 2021 or newer Toyota 4Runner to throw money at. I'll need the SR5 with the 3rd row as all the van passengers haven't moved out yet.

Just this week I tore down the first draft of my 8 yr old homemade teardrop camper to start on what I really want, a wider squaredrop built well enough to overland with.

Experience specific to overlanding is sparse, but not new to rough terrain driving, camping, cooking outside, shooting, fishing, and all that stuff, but there is a whole lot I don't know and I'm excited to learn!

Hi Aaron,

Welcome here and thank you for your introduction.

That's a awesome 130! Quite rare in North America, right? Have fun and a lot of great adventure trips with it.

Thanks! Yeah, this particular configuration is rare here. We found it in the Netherlands and had her imported. The guy that's building it for me is very familiar with them.

Hi, I am Drew from south Louisiana. I have some experience vehicle camping with my last rig a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport S with a DIY truck camper.
I put over 100k miles on it before trading it in for a 2019 T4R TRDpro. I am in the early stages of building the 4Runner but the goal is an overlander for a family of 4.
