1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
Hello, everyone, Mark here. I’m reaching out from Washington State (Olympia/Lacey) area. I just recently started learning about overlanding after looking for more “innovative” ways to get out doors during COVID-19. My wife is from WA, I originally hail from Mississippi, and we have two small daughters and two dogs.
I recently traded in my VolkswagenJetta for a 2019 Silverado 1500 (RWD only). I’ve been wanting a truck forever and got a good deal on this pickup due to COVID (I guess there is a silver lining in everything). Pictures posted below. I understand that there might be many applications where a 2WD might not get me to all the places I want to go, but I am stubborn and love a challenge. If there is anyone that is running a similar rig I would love to know about your experiences and the process you took to make the Silverado fit your needs better in overlanding.
That being said, my experiences with overlanding are null. In the future my wife ans I are exploring the opus 4 as a means of comfortably including both our daughters and dogs into getting off the beaten path and exploring new trails. I would love to know how everyone makes their travels work with essentially a family of six. Look forward to meeting everyone and getting involved in something pleasant in these trying times.
