Cheers from Beautiful San Diego, California. I'm new to this forum but not to most of the aspects of overlanding: off road travel, camping, truck building / customization, etc. I'm excited to meet the folks here , hear your experiences and learn a few tricks and tips.

Hello overlanders! I'm McKade Huntsman, currently in San Antonio, TX for my last assignment in the Navy before I get out and move back to Utah this summer. I'm excited to get back to all my favorite spots from my teenage years in Utah, and would love to make some friends and get some advice for trips up there. I look forward to talking with you all.
Current ride: 2017 Tacoma sport (with a lift and some wheels/tires and a roof rack and whatnot)

Hello. I am Paul H.
Right now I'm just running a completely stock Rav4. I'm working on getting it set up for its first trip. So photos will come as I get things done to it.
Location: East Texas
Rig: 2019 Rav4 XLE AWD (stock for now)
Overlanding Experience: None, I'm a novice in overlanding. I do have several years of camping experience and some backpacking experience. This is my entrance into overlanding.

yes a bit different and not as capable but it gets us around. lift wheels and tires are so new we have not been on a trip with this setup yet but I am sure forest roads even in bad weather should be just fine. A sxs in the future will get us everywhere else.
