    What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

    We got 16.7 MPG average on our recent 6000 mile cross-country wanderings. This included quite a bit of interstate, lots of state and county roads, and less than 100 miles of gravel. I have an average of 17.0 over the 20,300 miles I've owned the 4Runner, according to Fuelly.

    Trip to the Black Hills

    Daniel lives in Rapid City, and knows a bunch of the trails there. We visited with him on our recent cross-country trip. I was tagging him in this thread so that he would get a notification to come here and offer suggestions for you.

    That's why my site is empty; I don't know where to start@ :) Just listing the modifications doesn't seem like it would encourage folks to return, and I pretty much say all I want to say here and on Instagram, so I'm at a loss as to what to use my site for. It looks like you are at least a few...

    How do I turn off private messaging?

    There is not with the Xenforo forum software. I looked in the administrator tools, and there's no option there, either. Are you receiving unwanted private messages? If so, please send me a message with more information, and we can try to fix things. Steve

    I like it! The top image shows the area you are traveling rather than focusing on only the Jeep. Everything else looks good, too. Now I know Minnesota is the North Star State! :)

    Steve’s 2016 Toyota 4Runner Modification and Adventure Thread

    Today I installed an infrared repeater so that the switch box's IR remote would work. (I assumed it was RF, and buried it in the dash...) I put the receiver on the switch blank next to the 12V outlet in the dash, the sender on the switch box, and plugged it into the USB behind the dash. ( Note...

    I wasn't concerned with the use. I just didn't know what state it referred to, and likely no one else from outside the area would, either. Some mention of being based in Minnesota might help.

    Yep, white can be bright. I just turn down my screen brightness. I have a domain name but haven't started anything yet. That's where I parked my Road Shower review. I thought it look plain, so added a light khaki background instead of white, and like it a lot. That's the theme I'll eventually go...

    Glad to see that you're starting to document your adventures in a more permanent way that Insta and FB. This is something I plan at some point... My two cents. I am viewing this on a 27" iMac using Safari. Other viewers may see something different: Home page: The green text over the dark front...

    Overland Communication Overview

    I think we have a couple of members use Spot. I've looked at both the Spot and InReach, but haven't done either, yet. Initially, the Spot is a cheaper option, with a lower cost of entry. But the subscription runs all year, whether you are on an adventure or it is in a drawer. The InReach cost...

    Ohio Roll-Call!

    I'm in Lorain County. There are a few in Medina and Strongsville areas. Most of us are on the Ohio 4Runners Facebook group or Midwest Overlanding Facebook Group. Of course you should already be on the Overland Bound - Midwest Facebook group.
