Welcome to Overland BoundHey folks, new guy reporting in from Michigan. I'm a novice overlander running a stock 17' Lexus GX460 with A/T tires. I'm an experienced backpacker and bike tourist with tons of tent camping experience, some formal wilderness survival training, and 30,000 miles+ of road trips under my belt. I decided recently it was time for a more capable off-road rig after nearly stranding myself in a Colorado wilderness area in my stock VW Golf Alltrack. Simultaneously, our family decided we wanted to upgrade our pop-up camper to a small travel trailer. After much debate we settled on a GX460 for its combination of tow/cargo capacity, V8 engine, off-road capability, and smaller size relative to other large tow vehicles. My philosophy is to take lots of trips, only buy what I think I'll need for the next one, and replace anything I break on the trail with something more useful or dependable.
