Pretender Today, Overlander Someday

[RMCF]

I think I’ll post this here since I am building this 02 sequoia to be an adventure suv for the family and take them camping but I think all the cool kids are calling it overlanding these days.

At the moment it’s mostly stock other than an oversized 285/70r17’s.
This week my adjustable billi 5100’s will be here to help with the little bit of rubbing that I have. Also I have the plans to order a rear locker once that tax man pays up.
The plan at the moment is to just keep it cheap while I’m gathering parts to swap in a set of super duty axles that I have.

Sequoia on tons, who would do that? LOL

Plenty of adventures to be had with a simple setup.

Step 1 (into participating in this "Overlanding" community): Buy Max Trax and mount them to your rear side window.
Step 2: Buy rotopax and mount them to your other side window.
Step 2b: Start Youtube channel. Name it something like "Overland EXXXtreme" or "Finding Myself Over-yonder-lander"
Step 3: Go old school and buy/mount 50 straight light bar
Step 4: Widdle wadder mounted on back hatch
Step 5: Small shovel mounted
Step 6: RTT on top
Step 7: Awning
Step 8: Small propane bottle on back
Step 9: Full built in rear drawer system. Make sure to remove 2nd and 3rd row seats. Must include pots, pans, kitchen sink.
Step 10: $20K suspension upgrades is optional.

- The key to "overlanding" is how it looks to others that you overland. Not actually how fun it is.
- Remember the more money you spend on widgets the more internet points you earn.

I can think of one particular sequoia on tons that gave me some inspiration hint hint

I do enjoy the game of how much shit can I pack in this 10lb bag

Welcome dude!

Make sure you get some lockers in those axles so you don't end up like my dear friend @Motiracer38

oh and prepare yourself mentally for some body damage.

Awe man That build is one that drove the inspiration to do solid axles but I’ll make sure the lockers are the first parts to be purchased lol

If he had a Nickle every time we are on the trail ( all 4 times it's been out ) we said, "man if this thing had lockers you'd be unstoppable." He could probably by said lockers.

I only have 6, sort of 9 but it is a truck and the sink is a plastic tub, and 10 maybe 6k in suspension (maybe 10k if you count gears and lockers).
Yours sounds like more of a Toyota specific list so you forgot. Step 11: buy Baja Designs full catalog of lights all in amber. Step 12: Turn on all lights if it is anything other than full sun out, or fuck it turn them on then too.
