Hello. I hope this is the right place for the intro. We just joined. We are both retired DV veterans. We recently bought a U1300 Unimog with the intention of building a camper on it and overlanding full time. We sold the house and unloaded everything we owned, so we have no homeport per se. With that said we are using our son’s house in Abq to stage the build. We are looking forward to getting out there and seeing new places, and meeting like minded people.

Hey everyone! My name is Aaron. My family lives in southwestern Louisiana and we're running a 2019 TRD Offroad 4runner. I've spent a lot of time off-road with quads and dirt bikes, but this is my first 4wd vehicle.
