3) Experience Level: None, that's why I'm here... don't want to throw money at something I don't fully understand. The plan is for simple stuff, no rock climbing for this guy!

Same here, the vehicle I'm using can handle off road minus the rocks and climbing. I think it's Awsome to watch, but do lol. However I do want my rig to be able to handle just about all minus the extreme stuff. I'm excited about getting out and seeing the USA.

I have, after reading a few build threads, a basic list... skid plates, a roof basket (which I have already thanks Subaru), and a completely different set of wheels... from what I have read, I can drop down to 17 and from what I saw have a way better selection of tires (like those nice BFGs).

You've now hit my level of knowledge... I have my first real trip planned for June 2019 (kids in school and life have made this the first chance).

Buddy I'm right there with you.

never thought about coms until just now... just checking coverage maps for my cell provider... (already have a big solar battery that has served me well)...
thanks!

I live in awesome Boise, Idaho!

Hey everyone!

Just joined earlier today. I live in the Fort Walton Beach, Florida area. and attached is a photo on my '18 Tacoma TRD Pro. My wife also rocks a 4Runner and up until very recently I was driving a '07 FJ Cruiser.

Love the outdoors and most things associated with that. Hiking, climbing, camping, shooting, fishing, bombing through the woods in an off-road vehicle.... you name it. While we certainly can't complain about living by the beach, my wife and I love and miss the mountains. It's where we truly love to spend our time when we occasionally get the chance.

I wouldn't call myself experienced, but I've spent some time driving off-road up in the mountains in Colorado as well as regularly spend quite a bit of time off-road on the military ranges of Northwest Florida.

I look forward to getting to know the community and sharing experiences with and learning from you all. I'll be looking for opportunities to break in the new Taco!

Cheers!

Hello,

Bruce the Bagpiper here. I'm in the Fair Oaks (near Sacramento) area of California. I bought my Xterra new about three years ago and have begun a very slow process of upgrades. I like to see what I need before I build or buy. This is how it stands now:

6 speed manual trans.
Factory rear locker
BFG AT/KO-2
Old Man Emu medium duty suspension
Homemade DepHep knockoff cargo basket
Tire carrier bumper on the bench in progress
Front bumper TBD, but likely ARB or Shrockworks in 5 or 6 months

Hello Everyone!
I am new to overlanding but have been camping, fishing, and hunting all my life. I call San Antonio, TX my home though I am not originally from here but after 25 years of living hear it is home. My current vehicle is a 2017 Tacoma TRD OR DCSB 4x4.

 

[Old Skool Daddy]

Hola Overlanders. OSD here, digging the site. I’ve always enjoyed the combination of adventuring in the outdoors and vehicles. I think it all stemmed from way back with the Fisher Price Adventure People. Remember the dudes with the sweet van equipped with kayak, motorcycle, and parachutes. I always thought of them as the original outdoor wheeling crew. Anyways, like several folks here, I had my fair share of vehicles, mostly air cooled VWs and old school off-road rigs but my longest, most dependable vehicle has been my current 1989 Isuzu Amigo. It’s been my daily driver for the past 16 years and has never let me down, knock on wood. So here it is, my friend the 1989 Amigo, 5 speed manual, 2.6 l, 4wheel discs, and all stock except the OME rear springs, and shocks, and manga flow exhaust. Yes, it’s a 4x2 with stock size 31s but of course upgraded to BFGs a few times. I look forward to the stories here and the comraderie of other likeminded adventurers.
