Hi all. I’ve been doing a little overlanding for years and have dirt bagged it all over the west and in the Baja in various Toyota trucks and vans. I currently own a 2004 Toyota Tacoma and a 2016 Tundra. I used to have an old 1994 Toyota with the 22RE and a Flip-Pac camper on the back. Man, I miss that truck. I love my Tacoma but I had to buy something a little bigger to tow my airstream. Hence, the tundra. I couldn’t part with the Tacoma so I’m looking to make it more into in Overland/Trail rig. I also used to own a decked out 2000 Sportsmobile 4x4 with the 7.3 Powerstroke. That thing was a monster. I love this site for ideas and researching places to travel.

I got the inspiration to join this site after I met some Canadians traveling in Nicaragua in a 1980s Land Cruiser that was totally pimped out but stealth. They started in Canada and were going as far south as they could. I hope to do that someday in the Tacoma.

I currently split my time betweenWyoming and North Carolina when I’m not out west fighting wildfires. Hope to see y’all on the trail.
