Hi all,

I'm Colby from Kansas City, MO. Currently own a '91 FJ80 and a 85 4runner. Previous experience-Drove a 03' Tundra with a campershell down through Mexico/Central America ending at the Costa Rica border with Panama. Didn't know there was such an extensive online community for this kind of thing until recently, so very grateful for this forum! Looking to get my FJ in shape for another drive down to Costa Rica this coming November 2020, spending a few weeks in the Yucatan. Happy to join up with anyone who wants to caravan part or all of the way.

Considering cutting the top off and attaching a Alucab Exp 3 or similar. Anyone had a good/bad experience doing this?

hello,

I’m located in Fort Worth, TX. For the global folks no, I don’t ride a horse. I do drive a 2015 Subaru Outback, 2.5i with a CVT transmission. I’ve owned it just over a year. Overland experience is definitely beginner, but I have mediocre off road experience. I can generally pick a good line and know my limits.

Hey all,

Been a member here for a month or so, I am just now getting around to really explore the forums. Anyway name here is Travis and I hail in Oregon for now. Moving back to Wyoming sometime this summer... I think. I drive a 2012 Jeep JKU with a 3" lift with 35's and ride a 2015 BMW G650GS dualsport motorcycle. I enjoy car/motorcycle camping and exploring quite a bit. When I turned 16 (1993) I passed my license test shortly after. First thing I did was throw all my camping gear in the truck and took off in the Mt Hood National Forest for a few days. Been an addict ever since. Due to my career choice I haven't been able to do this for the past 15 years or so. Now that I work less and have more time I am getting back into overlanding. Mind you, it was never called overlanding back then... we just called it camping and exploring. I am a pretty big ham radio enthusiast so I usually take all my portable radio gear and nerd out after the camp is all set up. I've been on a few trips this year already and I am planing to get out there more. I am having fun re-hashing the past and re-discovering all the places that I used to explore back in the 90's. Hope to see you all out there on the trail and I am looking forward to posting and reading more on the forums.
