Hi All!

Where to begin...

I'm an Air Force veteran and currently do marketing & media for Expedition One here in Ogden, UT. I bought this 2010 FJ Cruiser back in 2014 and its been a labor of love for me. It's taken me on a number of adventures and hope to do many more with it! I'm an avid photographer and do attend many of the major Expos where possible as part of the company I work for.

I guess my off-roading adventures began with the FJ a few years ago and I still consider myself quite new to the hobby. I also head up the annual Utah Toyota Off-Road Expo here in northern Utah bringing in fellow utah off-road groups and vendors together to enjoy each others' company and mingle with fellow overlanders.

If you see our Expedition One booth, be sure to say hello!

Below are some photos that are a bit old with new mods already being swapped out but it's been a blast building it and learning both the vehicle's capabilities and my own while out exploring.

Cheers,
Ryan

Hey Ryan - welcome! I’m a new OB member and also reside here in N. UT, in Salt Lake. Great looking rig! I’m curious about the Toyota Off Road expo, I’ve heard about it and definitely interested to check it out for sure. Sounds like a great event and resource here locally. I’ll have to check out Expedition One for sure.. Look forward to following your posts, and maybe catch up at the expo or even at some point out on a trip. Thanks for your service!

Here’s a few pics of my Tacoma, just to share.. It sure is a labor of love and fun hobby no doubt. I’ve learned a lot over the years and always looking to learn more from fellow peers who love it all the same! Cheers..

Great looking FJ! I was up in Idaho and now back in the flat world of MN. Boy do I miss the high desert and the mountains! Cheers from a fellow AF Vet!
