Good morning and Happy New Year to you all! A little short story about me. I've been geeking about overlanding ever since my parents bought me an issue of 'Overland Journal' way back in the early 90's.

Rewinding back to 2010, I bought my first vehicle, a 2006 Jeep TJ X, in my sophomore year of college. It lasted me 7 years. By then it was time for a change, so I went for a 5th Grn 4Runner TRD OR...which lasted me for 1 month due to an eager driver who decided to risk it all by running through a traffic device while on red (RIP little runner). PS, both myself and the striking driver left the scene A-OK [emoji108]

Now we are in the year 2020! I have been building my replacement vehicle for a bit. Now I finally have the funds to venture off on short trips here in there and do what I was destined to do...travel and explore!

So I'll be compiling several photos of my build so far as well as documenting the process and my travels during this grateful experience.

I recently discovered Overlanding, and I wound up selling my 2017 Impala to get a 2011 Nissan Xterra X 4x4.

Impeccable maintenance records
I would love to watch your build as it comes along
I’m new to mods and off-roading and you sound very versed in the topic
Mind if I follow and learn and share with you?
