Hi new to the board from Tacoma, WA.
I have always loved off grid camping. For years I would spend time away from home every weekend, every break from work or school being outdoors. Then a carer happened :(
So once again I have the need to be away, so traded in my midlife crisis car and my 2016 Tundra for a 2019 Tundra Platinum 4x4.
Have been working on it to make it capable of getting most place I want to go (does not mean I should go)
Mods to-date 3.5 lift all around, Arb Summit bumper, winch, RCI skip plate set, Magnum rear bumper, Black rhino madness wheels 18x9.5 KO2 35" tires. 5.29 gearing (future proofing and trailer towing) Auburn LSD in the rear, passed on the front locker for now. Added a snug top rebel with sportsman package. P&P rock sliders, full length locking storage under the rear seat, the shocks are 6112's and 5160's
I am now looking for a 2 way communication system and racks for the cab and the shell, I am very close to placing and order with Sherpa.
Parts to install -
Rago Fab ditch light mounts with Rigid ligthts
Stedi Type X driving lights
Alpine head unit
Spod Bantam
Debating on a RTT or a trailer (maybe both)
Here is a picture without the shell.

Mine is my daily also. Here's some adventure dates to put on the calendar. Hope to see you out there. Let me know if you're ever in the neighborhood. 20191214_143517.jpg
Hello!

You're receiving this email because either you've attended an Overland Rally in the past, or you've asked to be kept up-to-date. We promise not to send you too many emails, but if you'd rather not get any more like this, just let us know.

Now that that's out of the way, we wanted to let you know that we have opened registration for all three of our 2020 events.

The NW Overland Rally in Plain WA is June 18 - 21 (just after most schools break for summer). The BC Overland Rally will again be in Whistler BC! It's the following weekend, June 25-28. The Rocky Mountain Overland Adventure Rally is July 30 – Aug 02, again in scenic Gunnison CO.

If you register for all three during the early-bird period (until March 31st), not only will you save on every show, we will take an additional $30 ($60 for a couple/family) off the total. Just email us after you've registered for all three and we will refund the discount. We are calling this our Triple Crown discount.

Information and registration options are available on the event websites:

www.nwoverlandrally.comwww.bcoverlandrally.comwww.rockymountainoverlandrally.com

We do hope to see you at one or all of the events, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send us an email. For your convenience, we now have a new email for all three events:

overlandadventurerallies@gmail.com

or give us a call at (604) 889-2169.

Thank you, from the whole Overland Rallies team

Oh! Thank you! I will go look at it, bought my partner and self memberships. It looks like a good way to get away before the summer crush hits!

Welcome @Migraine , Nice truck... my wife is looking at 4Runners in about the same color.
You are in the Northwest Overland Bound Region. @Kent R is our Regional Director. @Gabriel Bozeman is the closest Member Representative to you. He is currently out with a group winter camping. Look for his monthly camp outs, he would love to have you guys tag along. @Munga Brown (Oregon Coast) , @Sandpoint Steve (Idaho), and myself @Slimpartywagon (Oregon East) are also NW Member Representatives. We are here to help you navigate through the forums answer any questions you might have, and keep you up to date on upcoming events, trail rides, and campouts.
Speaking of events, check out 2020 Northwest Event and Meetup Listings. It has a detailed list of activities happening throughout the Northwest this year. It is updated as new events are added, so keep an eye on it.

Once again, Welcome Margaret hope to see you on the trails soon.

Hello Margaret,

Another welcome from the rainy side of the state. Great build so far, looking forward to further updates. After breakfast off to work to install my ARB bumper and winch. Still working on finishing my communication system. It is just CB and GMRS for now. Since the cab is lacking in extra space. I used remote head units with cat 5 cable extensions for the handhelds.
