Hey all,
I'm super new to forums, never really had much downtime in my life I work a really demanding job plus don't like to stay inside for to long. Would someone be nice enough to give me the run down? I have a lot to learn about overlanding and four wheeling in general and would like to start planning rig modifications, so I'm gonna need to learn this stuff soon! Thanks

Welcome Jacob,

Once things allow for group gatherings again, I'd suggest finding your local OB Chapter and attending their monthly meetings. It was super helpful for me when I first got into this & the folks I met were more than happy to show me around their rigs and to share their knowledge.

I work in healthcare in AZ, COVID isn’t going anywhere for a long time! Maybe I’ll make a new thread for suggestions, thanks!

Looks like you have a pretty capable rig even stock. The rig mods depend on what you want to do. Best bet wait til you find a short fall with what your rig does and ask a specific question.

On the forum thing...... you will find.... this is worse than getting drunk in a back alley. Expect honest sincerity and gross incompetence. You will need to decide who to believe.

The best planning if you are overlanding says start overlanding. You'll need sleeping, food storage, and ??? You got a great truck. Just drive.
