Thank you! I will definitely check that out. Would love to get involved. Jeep is still stock, so will ultimately be a bit limited but I've done rides like Mt Patterson/Leavitt lake/Sierra Buttes with my stock Jeep so am confident I'd be able to do at least some of the events!Glad you said hello and welcome. I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Ripon CA there is a meet up on the third Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active. The Central California group has number of plans already laid out for June through November.
This is the regular meet up info

It’s crazy, there’s hardly any area left between c springs and Denver that isn’t developed anymore.

Hello All ‘ very green new member.
My overlanding journey has just started with the purchase of this little gem (pictured). No laughing out loud .
I’ve been watching a lot of really great YouTube Vlogs and plan to go to the 2021 overland expo in October to get some great idea and more knowledge. Looking forward to diving in and learning.

Hello Edward, welcome to the OB family.
Hey All!
I'll get a rig posted when the new one arrives.
Current overlanding rig is a lifted Subaru WRX, dubbed the T-WRX (Trail WRX). The WRX has run the WABDR (Washington Backcountry Discovery Route) South to North, and several other smaller treks. It has custom front/rear overlanding bumpers along with a winch and sits on A/T tires.
I was overlanding a Subaru Ascent (ODBR Route 4) but I moving up into a Tundra.
I would consider myself somewhere a little above novice but not yet intermediate, leaning towards novice with the move into a full-size truck.
I have a lot of recovery gear, but a lot will need to be re-purchased so it is properly rated for a Tundra (not a WRX - kinetic rope for example, big difference between 3500 lbs fully loaded and 5600 lbs starting unloaded!).
Picking up a 2021 Tundra 4x4 TRD Off-Road.
Hoping to get some advice on overlanding builds that are reliable. Nothing crazy. I am not swapping suspension (for the foreseeable future).
Out the door I need tires and sliders.
Right now I am looking at a 275/70 (33") 10-ply KO2. I might upgrade to some cheap steely bead-lockers if I can find them but right now new wheels aren't in the plan.
Still researching sliders; real time experience recommendations are preferred to 'online product reviews'. I know not all are built the same and I want to protect the cab.
I also rally the WRX, and tow it, so I plan on adding air-bags to the rear leaf springs to help with sag.
I am going to be mounting an onboard compressor to allow for easy inflation of tires when driving pavement; probably the Viair Heavy Duty OBA rated at 35". This will probably also happen sooner than later because my current tire pump is not rated for a 33" tire and overlanding without airing down.
Eventually I plan on doing front/rear overlanding bumpers and adding a winch up front (maybe rear).
Bed racks?
Cab racks?
There is a lot that can be done - and the build will continue over the life of the rig. What else? Anything I am missing moving up into a truck that is a 'must have'? Hope to have some good discussions with folks here.

Welcome! That’s quite an upgrade! Big Sexy Beast on YouTube has a Tundra TRD built out with a Decked system and an ARE MX topper. Seems cozy!

Hello, I'm a "new" member. I figure it's time I introduced myself properly
I just picked up a dream rig, 1986 Toyota Landcruiser FJ60, previously owned a 2013 Nissan Frontier. I can't wait to properly outfit my ride for some outdoor adventures.
Location: San Jose, CA
I'm a novice at overlanding but have experience camping at state and local campgrounds.
This is a great forum and I hope to learn a bunch from you all. Thanks
