Hello Everyone - I'm Steve and I'm relatively new to overlanding. I have always been a car guy growing up loving speed. More recently I have taken to off-roading and over-landing. I currently have two rigs:

1989 Toyota 4runner - 3vze - 5 speed: I have invested a lot of time and $ in this truck and learned a lot doing so.

And I recently picked up a:

1990 Gen 1 Mitsubishi Montero: almost stock besides 33" Duratrac's and a tune up.

I'm a bit tight on funds at the moment and I was thinking I might sell both (tears) in order to pick up a Gen2 or Gen2.5 Montero and enjoy the luxuries of a never vehicle while building a capable overland truck on a budget. It will be hard to let the Yota go due to the blood, sweat, and tears put into her!

Hello all, I joined OB last year and somehow missed this entire forum! Excited to be here. I am a father of 6 so the 8 of us are alot of work to go camping, but we love it. Having a large family slightly limits vehicle choices...however we have rocked our 2002 Toyota Sequoia for a bout 225,000 miles so far. Picture coming soon! We live in northern Colorado. We have a hard time leaving CO for trips because we have so many awesome places to go here. Thanks for all this Micheal and the OB team!
Hey welcome! I'm a newbie too! What part of norco are you in? I'm in loveland.

Jared
