Hello everyone!

Looking forward to getting to know the community, I’ve been a fan of the videos for a while, and interested in overlanding for a very long time!

• Location - Salt Lake City, UT
• Vehicle 1 - 1994 Toyota Hiace Super Custom
• Vehicle 2 - 2017 Ram 1500 Rebel
• Overlanding experience - novice; excited to start getting out there

My first dedicated adventure rig begs for a lightweight, minimalist setup, so I’ve been taking tons of notes from videos and forums. So far, I’ve done a full mechanical review of the van. My first upgrades have been a set of K02’s, new shock absorbers, torsion bars, and coil springs (rear) from Dobsons. It’s a challenge to find some parts, but I’m enjoying the full time 4x4 and KZ diesel. Photo attached, this is before suspension work was done.

Given all the free time, I’m keeping my eyes open for an ‘01 100 Series to start building out for solo adventuring.

Hi, My name is Matt! I have loved camping my whole life, but backpacking with kids is hard, and my wife does not enjoy backcountry camping out of a pack. I have been missing the outdoors, and realized that there is more than one way to get my family into the outdoors, and it doesn't involve tiny backpacks and tired legs, or crowded campgrounds full of giant motorhomes! I just bought my very first 4x4 vehicle and am beyond excited to join this community and learn from everyone here.

- We live in Powhatan Virginia, just southwest of Richmond.
- I have a brand new to me 2016 Toyota 4Runner Trail, and I can't wait to mod the hell out of it.
- I have literally been camping my whole life, but never in this way, so I am a very eager noob.

Thank you. I’ve been obsessed for more than 20 years. They are cool old trucks. I’ve had a Scout most of that time but the Travelall has more room for activities.

Hello everyone! I'm Cassie.

1. Northwest Arkansas
2. I drive a Subaru Ascent and our trail rig is a '07 GX470.
3. We have done a couple of trips, have camped a little, and are just now getting more serious about completing more and longer adventures. Overall, I would consider us beginners.
