I haven't seen anything in San Gabriel but apparently there used to be a meet up in Rancho Cucamonga at the bass pro shop. I don't think they've done that one in a while though... I guess it just takes 1 or 2 or a few to take the initiative and set one up. We have family and friends in Simi so we'll trek out there one of these days and kill 2 birds with one stone as it were.

No problem, I will post some photos and videos here as well! :) Let me round them up.

Welcome! Great seeing another LR4 in the group. There are lots of great threads on here with some LR4 builds (including my own) and some folks have been through the whole journey of 18" vs. 19" tires. Let me know if you have any questions, it's been an ongoing discussion. :-DView attachment 19725 Hello everyone! I'm super excited to be joining a group of fellow enthusiasts. My name is Corey Daniels and I live in South Jordan, Utah. My wife is a school teacher and we are the parents of 4 teenage (one is actually 20 yrs old) daughters. I love off-road travel. Whenever we are traveling I'm always looking for the next best "shortcut" or road less traveled. However, my daughters finally clued into the fact that "shortcut" doesn't mean the same to me as it does to them. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.
I'm currently driving a 2012 Land Rover LR4, but also drive a 2004 Ford F-150. The Ford has 375,000 miles on it, which is a testament to how much we enjoy traveling. I have build plans for the LR4, but haven't started yet. Still coping with the fact that there aren't any tire options for 19" wheels

Welcome! You will find lots of support for overlanding and your 4Runner. Great having you here!

Welcome! WOW, that's an awesome Land Cruiser and certainly does look like Mike and Corrie's OB #0000. :-D

Thanks. That is a great looking LR4. I'll definitely check out your build and others that are on the site.

Welcome to the community!Howdy!
My name is Noah and I'll be in the Bay for the next couple months after graduating from Cal Poly SLO, then heading out on an expedition/moving to the South with the Army.
I wheeled with the Polygoats back in undergrad (am I allowed to say that yet?), and a few years ago was prompted by one of my best friends to start working on my '97 TJ, which is how the madness started. Been backpacking for years, but I want to develop my skills and rig as an overlander. I'm here to learn!
Here's Toby the TJ, named after my favorite horse.

That's pretty cool that you've gotten to travel around the country. That's something I've always wanted to do. Or at least a cross country road trip. Welcome to the community!
I used to say that there is nothing better than getting paid to see the country. While I still somewhat believe that, it is still a job and there are tradeoffs. There is always a schedule to keep. You are always on the go.

Ya, I would imagine that traveling like that for work might not have the same value as it would with free time. None the less, something that would be a great experience.
