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.
Hi Drew. Welcome to OB!

Kristian, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State. Thanks for posting pics of your rig out in the wild, nice setup. presence of diesel heater indicating year round travel and exploring. Seems like a very long duct up to the tent though, lots of heat lost on the way up?

Thanks! Yes we camp year round! Yeah I would have thought the same about the long duct! So far we have camped in 19 and it kept the top with two people at 68 on lvl 7 I think. I am gonna extend the controller into the tent for it to be automatic hopefully! Gonna try it tomorrow!

Overlanding Experience: I have been camping for a little bit, honestly got into it while I was in the Army, every time we went out somewhere, i loved being out in the middle of no where, living off the land. Europe defiantly has to have been my favorite place to "camp" overseas. But in regards to overlanding, Im definitely a noob. I sorta started getting into it with my old 2013 Ram, just a basic truck bed tent. Now I have a new 2023 Colorado TB and planning on getting a softtopper for her. I personally dont like roof top tents (absolutely love them on everyone elses rigs, just not a fan for mine). Can't wait to get into it, I love the aspect of just being able to get up and go to a sick new spot! I find alot of really cool locations while flying helicopters in my area.
