Hey All,
I am relatively new to this forum, though I've been lurking for a while to poach ideas for my 2010 4Runner TE and 2007 Tundra DC. I also have 1981 FJ40 that I bought in 1997 that is built more for rock crawling, but we've loaded it up and taken for week long off-road excursions as well. That was before kids, of course.
Now that my girls are at the ages where they don't need constant attention and I feel they need forced breaks from technology and experience the joys of getting into the wilderness, I am kitting out the 4Runner for remote camping and fly fishing trips with the entire family, mostly in the VA, WV and PA region, but I plan to expand our range and travel to the iconic trails and National Parks and Forests around the country. The Tundra is largely a tow rig for the FJ40, and has historically stored my spares and tools for the FJ40.

I am the VP of the Capital Land Cruiser Club, based out of Northern Virginia and am a long time supporting member of ih8mud, where i have the same user name.
Looking forward to learning and contributing to this forum as well.
