Any suggestions on what to change/modify first? I start looking around and things just start to get overwhelming. I currently have 16" wheels with Hankook Dynapro ATM tires. Since I have my ham radio licensee I have a 2 meter radio installed. Other than that its all stock.

Thanks.
Depends on how you are going to travel...towing a trailer, rooftop tent or tent. I have approx 2 inch lift with Geolander ATs tyres...we can't lift them much more here without jumping hoops as state laws stop us in Australia...otherwise it's almost stock!
I am going to add rear draws and I have side awning already.20170923_160517~2.jpeg

I've got too many and not enough time!
My Subaru is a 2000 Legacy Outback sedan, shortly to receive a 4" lift using Gen1 Tacoma struts!
My other rigs are: 2008 Suzuki VStrom, 1998 Kawasaki KLX351R & my toy hauler is a 2002 Ford E450 Super Duty shortbus.

New around here, figured I'd try and meet some of the members I've seen out and about.

First overlander was a '74 Ford Bronco outfitted for camping all around middle TN. Next was a '71 VW tintop Westy which is currently undergoing restoration. Due tot he restoration's timeline I picked up a 2014 FJ Cruiser 6MT for the daily duties and to get me around while I paint and outfit the VW.

Hello,
My name is Sarat. I live in Puyallup, WA USA. I own a 1989 Dodge Ram 50 4x4. Seeing lots of 4WDAction videos, i decide to convert it to diesel. My other rig is a 2006 VW Touareg v10 TDI with no mods. I woild say i'm a novice at overlanding. I did spend some time in all kinds of rigs for the Army though. Pics to come
