Hi Blake, Great looking 3rd gen! Glad I'm not the only one. ;) One word of advise if you do intend on getting off the grid.. throw a winch on that ARB. Mine has earned it's value many times over - plus it's great for stringing up a hammock!

Hi All,
Justin from Seattle here. Finally got around to registering my membership - thanks pandemic.. The current overland rig of choice is a 2001 Toyota 4runner that's almost where I want to be. I have a history of building trucks/cars to the point of "completion" and then moving on to the next. This 4runner marks my 10th attempt to find the perfect rig. I've had everything from a brand new 2016 Tacoma TRDOR, a protype VW Alltrack, multiple 1st gen 4runners (1 that was solid axle swapped), and a host of IFS Toyota's / JDM cars sprinkled in between.
My wife and 3 dogs genuinely appreciate the experience of getting off the grid. Many of our weekends are spent roaming around the PNW, hunting for the newest spot to set up camp. If you have any suggestions we'd love to hear them (or would be happy to share some of ours). Right now we should be kicking off our annual National park road trip, which included a stop at Expo West, and the slickrock of Moab. Instead, I've been living vicrariosuly through others on Youtube and buying far too many car parts.. hah
Extremely thankful to be part of such a supportive and engaged community.
Cheers,
Justin

Hey, guys!
Location: Pinckney, MI
Rig: 2006 Toyota 4Runner V8
Experience: Lots of road trips, Lots of camping (20 years ago), Just getting back into it.
Just joined up, but have been interested in the idea of Overlanding for the last 6 years or so. I bought an older K5 Blazer a while back, with the idea that in wanted to build it to drive from Michigan to Moab, spend a couple weeks wheeling and camping, and drive home. I didn’t realize at the time that sort of travel had a name or a following!
I still have the Blazer, but never made the trip. Now that we have a two year old, we decided it wasn’t the right vehicle for a trip like that. I bought a V6 06 4Runner as a daily driver a couple years ago, and just recently upgraded to a V8 4th gen.
I have a pretty good setup going so far, spent the weekend out exploring the backroads of northern Michigan. Can’t wait to get out for more!
