Good afternoon. My name is Trey and I am new to overlanding. We currently live in the Tampa area. I am prepping for a trip with my father to the White Rim Trail. It is a bucket list trip for him. My wife and kids are excited about the trip. I currently own a 97 FZJ 80 we are restoring and a 2015 Tundra Crewmax we are building.

If I didn’t need have a tow vehicle I would love a Runner. The Tundra I bought to pull our boat. We are going to put a 3” coil over lift and UCA’s with rear shocks and shackles, 35’s, ARB rear locker and topper with slide for a UTAH Trip Next summer. Going to rent a camper trailer and take the family on a Griswald vacay! Will add airbags if needed. Will be a slow build with restoring the 80. I will start a build thread once we get rolling. The 80 is one of the family. We Are slowly getting it back to 100%.

Hello from Long Beach CA. I’m in the process of slowly building out my 2010 4Runner trail edition. Looking to find what works and doesn’t work and also find some groups to go exploring with. Let me know if any groups I should follow or join and if there are any meet ups in my area.
cheers

I see you are a ham radio operator as well, feel free to join out weekly Friday night Echolink net.

If my name sounds familiar, I'm also on the JeepForum a lot (a lot of folks know about the HF trailer build thread I started there). I also hang out on the Expedition Portal, and a little on the NW Overland Society page.

Trailer build thread: Mini Harbor Freight (type) Trailer Ultimate Build-Up Thread - JeepForum.com

I do have my HAM license (KI7TSP), but haven't really done much with it.

I was a member of FourWheeler's Overland Adventure East 2019, so you may have seen my name and Jeep there (check out the March 2020 edition of FourWheeler magazine on page 40).

I'm looking forward to maybe doing some trips with ya'll in the upcoming future. Picture was from this last summer as I was leaving home and heading up into Canada.

2) Northwest United states
3) My, ahem, "rig" is a 1990 Geo Prizm. Front wheel drive, 110 half dead shetland ponies under the hood, 3 speed automatic about as useful as a toaster. Basically the perfect possible rig for overland that has ever been created.
4) I have very little Overlanding specific experience, however I have a good deal of experience outdoors (Compared to most my age).

Adventure can be found with any vehicle!
Welcome!
