    Hey everyone, my name is Travis and I have been lurking for some time now but finally decided to join and introduce myself. I have a GX470 but it will soon be replaced with a new Tacoma, I just wanted to make sure I had done all my market/vehicle research before pulling the trigger.

    A little history on me.... my love of cars started off in the Honda world with my S2000 being the pinnacle of fun toy car goodness. I then moved on to BMW M3s, I had 2, a 2001 Laguna Seca Blue (fav color of all time) and then a 2008 which I miss dearly (V8 that revs to 8300 is sublime). Then I decided to get into vehicles that aligned with my interests such as camping and fishing so I got a 2003 Range Rover just to be different which I did a coil conversion and all terrain tires. I soon realized that it wasn't the offroad vehicle that I wanted and parts/maintenance were more money then I wanted to be spending on an old car... it's not a question of if it will break but when. I then got into my current vehicle which is a 2004 Lexus GX470 which I have done numerous suspension upgrades to. It has been a great rig that has taken me many places that no other Lexus' have been. I am now to the point where I don't want to settle on a vehicle and I just want to get what I really want so on to the Tacoma.

    Let the journey begin!

    I guess both? I always kind of considered camping to be staying in the same spot while overlanding to me is like a camping road trip. Might be way off base there as I haven't looked up the exact definition or overlanding.
