Gentleman,
Excited to be here and able to look at all of these awesome build and trips you guys take!

A little backstory, I came from a 1998 4Runner that I built up and told to Moab, Telluride and all over southern CA. Unfortunately it was also my DD and with 220k miles and all the mods it wasn’t the most reliable/economical (that’s what I told myself anyway).

Link to 4Runner build thread :



I sold the Runner in 2015 and focused on getting a career, school, etc. I also met my wife, who would not be interested in running Hell Revenge haha.

Fast forward to now and I have a career and actually just bought a house so don’t have the disposable income I used to when I was single.

The wife let me get another SUV, I considered another Toyota but ended up with a Grand Cherokee (wife liked they way it looked). I used to have a 2001 JGC and wheeled the heck out of it.

This build will be slow and mild. Definitely not as awesome as the 4Runner as I still need a comfortable DD. (And have to justify the purchase to the wife).

I’ll probably upgrade items such as tired when they need to be replaced etc. or I can show the wife that I NEED something.

These days I’m not super interested in wheeling hard trails as much as easy scenic ones.

I’m excited to meet some of the awesome members on here and get on some easy trail runs!

I love my 2014 WK2 Overland. I've driven it to Savannah, GA, Los Angeles, CA and many places in between. Mine is a DD so it is mostly stock but they are very capable stock. Have fun with it and enjoy it! 8997489975

Wife and I are brain storming a road trip for next fall or possibly spring depending on our schedules.

Think about NorCal/Oregon or CO/UT

We’re going to look at a map soon and make a list of the things we would like to see. Right now I’m leaning towards NorCal as I’ve been to Moab about 6 times...but it’s literally my favorite place in the Southwest
