Hi Misfit137 and welcome to OB! Nice rig! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!Hello all! I am new here. I didn't really know about overloading before I bought my truck, so my rig is a bit unorthodox. I'm going to be turning my Dodge Ram 2500 diesel into my daily driver/overland camper. Excited to be here!

Hi soonersfan and welcome to OB! Nice rig! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!I became aware of the idea of overlanding a few months ago. I love trails, the outdoors, cooking outside, etc., and gear, don’t even get me started on how much I love mods and gear.
I’ve never found a comfortable way to sleep though. I have back and neck issues. I’ve tried cots, air mattresses, etc. but my body is usually killing me after 2 nights and 3-4 hrs of sleep a night is optimistic. As minor as this may seem, it’s the issue that keeps me from taking the plunge v. dipping my toes in. I just went to an overlanding event in the Ozarks last week and really enjoyed seeing everyone's rigs and setups. Also had a chance to meet some great people.
So, I’m here to learn, first about finding a solution to decent nights sleep, then about gear etc. I am in the Oklahoma City area. I have 3 great kids 10-15 and an amazing wife, none of whom have a lot of interest in spending hours in a vehicle on the trail. They all love to hike.
I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler with 3” lift, 35” tires, lockers, winch, etc. This has been the first year I’ve really had time to use it for it’s intended purpose. We did all the trails in Red River, NM, many of the trails in Ouray, CO and three offroad parks, SMORR, Superlift and Byrds. Let’s just say I’ve been making up for lost time.
Anywho, I’m happy to be here. If I can figure out the sleep thing, I’m really eager to the high water trail in the Ozarks and take some of the backroads through NM.

Hi Wandering With You and welcome to OB! Nice rig! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!Hello All-
2) Twin Cities, MN based
3) 2017 Stock Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Long Bed
4) Grew up driving two-treks in Michigan's Upper Peninsula
Not really a "forum guy" but am interested in connecting to learn more about how to access and plot off-highway driving opportunities in state and national forests, particularly in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
I'm a photographer, filmmaker and family man who loves to spend quiet time in the woods with his wife, child and small dog. We typically plan our time away from the city based on mountain biking, road running and now, overlanding opportunities as we cannot yet take our young child out for the formerly mentioned activities. Most of the overlanding opportunities we will be seeking will be day trips based from campgrounds in MN and WI.
The Tacoma is MN OHV registered and has been out for several trips since its purchase in April of this year, including parts of the trans-Wisconsion Trail, The Gandy Dancer trail in the St. Croix Forest in MN and the Iron Range Off-Highway Vehicle State Recreation Area in Gilbert, MN.
For our next trip, I hope to do some exploring in the R.J. Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest in Southeastern MN in a few weeks. If anyone's got any pointers, I love to hear 'em.
Currently, the rig is stock, but will evolve as our needs change. I sold my '99 4runner when I bought this truck and plan to own this one for just as long, if not longer.
Cheers!
