Hello y'all! We are The Meyer Life and we are from the Bay Area, California. We just purchased a 2019 Ram Rebel and we are setting it up for our overlanding adventures. We used to use our Jeep Compass but the kids (3 Boys) quickly outgrew that! We are no strangers to camping and exploring! Excited to be new members of Overland Bound!View attachment 151550

Im in Redwood City.

Since this picture I have added a front runner rack, frame sliders, double Jerry can mount, Ezee awn 270 awning, road shower, a bunch of fun electrical stuff and of course the 6.2l LS, 6L80e and an atlas twin stick transfer case.

 

[RadioGuy75067]

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it! - Done, see below.
2) Location (General area is fine) - North Texas
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.) - 2003 Toyota 4Runner 4.7L V8 Sport
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!) - I know enough to get myself out of trouble, but not enough to keep myself from getting into it.

PS. Every time I take a pic of the rig, its already an old pic. Cause just as soon as I put the camera down, I pick up a tool and change or add something. IE: Right after these pics were taken, I added a winch the very next day! Yesterday, I custom installed a set of LED fog lights. It never ends...

Hey Folks,
Yegor here, from the Seattle area. I started off road exploring last year, and this year looking to get into some overlanding - been an avid camper for years.

I rely on my 2019 Tacoma off-road to get me around.
