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.
