Hey, I'm David, a new member here. I grew up and Montana, Wyoming, in western South Dakota. Up until I left for college, our family did similar things to over landing. Now for the first time since I was 18 years old I have a four-wheel-drive and looking to get back into over landing. Now I live in the upstate of South Carolina. Lots of good novice forest service roads to cut my teeth on. Rig is being kitted out. It is a 2024 Toyota 4runner TRD Pro. I'm excited to get back out on the dirt roads.View attachment 275420

Hey,

I am Rob, I moved to Trumbull, CT about a month ago for work. My family has been into overlanding for several years and I have some experience in it, but not a whole lot. I am looking for a group to be a part of. I do love getting outdoors and am looking for some trails. I have a 2014 f-150 limited, 4 wheel drive, 3" lift, 35" mud tires, locking rear diff. It's not super modified, but it is fun.

Hi,

I am Alex, currently in my search for the right rig for me. Last year together with my girlfriend I bought our HZJ75 "Ben" in Arusha, Tanzania and it has been a bumpy ride eversince. Buying a car in Africa is not an easy thing to do and fixing it there even less so. Therefore I am currently selling our car which is Located in Iringa, Tanzania for the same price we bought it (although we invested around 5000€ in repairing it.

Furthermore I am looking for a new rig and I found one for sale with is a HZJ79 but with Three! axles. Now I am thinking if this is a good idea, therefore I made this post:

Cheers

Welcome! I have a white 2020 and like you just starting to kit it out. I love how yours looks so far. The forums have great advice from people who've tried just about everything you can imagine!
