Hi Jason, welcome to the OB community. Like your rig but will have to stay away from you, I'm seriously allergic to "Poison Ivy!" LOL.

Hi everyone - I bought my 80 a few years back and have spent quite a bit of time around/under the truck baselining and learning how to turn a wrench doing preventative maintenance and even a few more challenging projects. It’s been my trusted daily driver and will continue to be for some time but I am looking forward to a gradual process of buildIng it into an even more capable overlanding rig. I also look forward to getting off the beaten track and providing ample opportunity for adventure with my growing family (son had his first birthday last week!). Happy trails...

Rig - 1997 Lexus LX450 (80 series LC), stock for now :)

New Member here from Bend, Oregon. Driving a 2020 MGM Toyota 4Runner TRD Offroad. Used to do the enduro bike thing (BMW GS 1200) but have since made the transition to vehicle overlanding/adventure (mostly local adventure at this point) and have slowly begun building out my vehicle.

Hi from Texas (DFW),
Looking forward to the journey of finding our way out of the city to more surroundings of nature. Myself(Aaron), the wife, and our two kids are new to this whole "overland" experience, but in talking with other families, it sounds awesome and right up our alley.
Location: Arlington, Texas (DFW)
Experience: Novice
Rig: 2019 Tundra Crewmax SR5 4x4. Slowly transforming (bed rack ordered, RTT is next purchase)

Hi everyone, I'm Ryan! Looking forward to being apart of the Overland Bound Community and learning to be competent in overland traveling. My wife (Sheryn), puppy (Oliver) and I are looking forward to getting started traveling on the weekends and enjoy the beautiful areas around us. "Adventure is Necessary" really resonated with me when I heard Michael mentioned it a couple times. I've got the travel bug and it's now time to stop watching all of the travel/overland YouTube channels and get out there and start doing it
