Welcome!Hello Outlanders!
Scott and Terra Mincey here from Murfreesboro, TN and we are about as green as our avatar at the moment! lol
We have been camping in campers for about 10 yrs, always plugged in, never off the grid. As much as I've wanted to pull our 2017 Cherokee Grey Wolf out and just rough it, it was always too easy to just pull it to one of the close nice state campgrounds, plug in and "glamp". Then I found the Lifestyle Overland crew on YouTube (man what an inspiration they are)....had Terra watch a few episodes and we soon realized what we have been missing.
We have a 2012 Nissan Armada that will be our introductory "rig" to get us a little more out in the wild than we are used to, nothing to demanding but definitely way more than we would ever go pulling a 27 ft camper. The RTT was also one of the big things that intrigued us so that will be our main purchase for now and making sure the Armada can handle it. I have acquired pretty much all the other essentials over the years for us to survive a couple of nights and get our feet "wet" with our 1st real adventures overland!

Good choice on the Land Cruiser. Have you looked into the Old North State Cruisers (ONSC) club? They are a great resource and host several trail rides and events through out the year.Im new to the overloading scene but this seems like the best place to start! Im a senior in High School and as my first car I bought a 1995 FZJ80 Land Cruiser. I've had it for a little over a year now and have added 33'' K02s, a winch bumper, and am working on redoing the suspension. I'm in the Charlotte area and am pretty new at this so thanks for all the helpful tips you all share on this website!

Welcome to Overland Bound!Hey All,
Second introduction because I think I accidentally deleted the first one. Whoops.
Name is Travis, I’ve been doing what I have now learned is called “Overlanding” for many years now. Cruising the old forestry roads of southern BC looking for that great new place place to camp and hitting every hot spring along the way. I’ve been known to travel ridiculous distances to soak in natural springs.
I do this with my 8 year old copilot who loves getting out and discovering new places just as much as me. It’s definitely in his blood. We have always tented up until now just because that’s what we liked to do. Now I’m at the point in my life where I want something with hard sides and off the ground to sleep in, so I’m having a trailer built by OffGrid Trailers in Canada. Have decided on the Expedition 2.0
I decided to go with the tow behind because I need the box of my truck for other parts of my life. Hunting, hauling firewood, ATV etc. The Expedition 2.0 seemed like the solution for me.
We are planning to do a two week tour through Idaho this year because we aren’t far from the border and I just love Idaho in general. Looking at the backcountry discover route from the Canadian border down to Nevada.
Seems like a great group here and I’m looking forward to picking up some Idaho info and am always willing to offer whatever assistance I can to anybody looking into my neck of the woods.
Cheers.

Welcome to Overland Bound!Hello all . Just happened to stumble across this site when researching GX470s. I have owned several Toyotas 22REs before the Tacomas, 4Runner, and a Tacoma. I am in the market for a new rig and was looking at V8 4Runners until a GX470 caught my eye. After doing much research and looking at total cost to make it what I want before I make a purchase I have been reading all I can on here.
I currently live in Maine.
Navy Vet
Made and raised in MO
Love everything outdoors and soon to be an overlander. I dont have the rig yet but have hundreds of remote ponds and Brooks I look forward to taking my family to on the weekends.
Whoooo!! I love those Off-Grid Trailers. How much is yours going to be if you don't mind me asking. I'm just in Calgary, we head out to the crowsnest pass often. Riding and exploring along the way.Hey All,
