Hello,

I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road that is fairly stock and I am in Washington. I haven't taken the truck out much onto even dirt roads but have been wanting to. I use to go up into the mountains a lot and camp when I was younger so this is part to get back to that. Although not seriously technical trails, some were challenging, I still have a lot to learn though. I have been looking a lot at different ways of setting up my rig for general overlanding as I would like to get into that and to make doing my other hobbies easier. As well as general long distance traveling.
Welcome to Overland Bound @moird. There are lots of us in Washington, what part of the state are you in? The Tacoma TRD, even completely stock, is a perfectly capable overland vehicle. Throw a tent, bedroll, stove, and cooler in the back and you have enough to start adventuring. Then build as you need to build to overcome obstacles. Anyway, this is a great state for overlanding and for getting to know other people interested in the hobby/lifestyle. I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your neighbors. Events are also posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well. Coming up at the end of June is Plane, WA is the biggest overlanding get together of the PNW, the 2019 NW Overland Rally [link]. If you can make it, you will have lots of opportunities to meet other overlanders, see awesome gear, and learn new skills.

I look forward to seeing you out there on the trail someday! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.

Hey Everyone,

Finally, after destroying a few trucks from strictly mud bogging, I have bought myself a Jeep to build as an overland rig! Excited to get out there and hopefully do a trip this summer.

Hello from a Michigander!

Location: Kalamazoo, MI
Experience: Rusty Intermediate
Rig: 2015 Silverado Z71 (double cab) - Stock

Eagle Scout, so I've done quite a bit of backpacking and camping in my youth.....thus rusty. Not looking to do crazy overlanding because other than maybe a leveling and one size up on tires I'm probably not going to do much to the truck. I do love adventuring down our seasonal roads though. Debating a RTT at some point..........but being a solo camper (friends generally don't camp anymore) with an anxiety plagued mind my head starts to spin when the sun goes down........but I'm trying to overcome that.
