Welcome. You don't need a rooftop tent and dump thousands of dollars to overland. We've been out for days and fit everything we needed in the back of my Gladiator and that includes the folding table we cook and eat on.
Hit the forest for a little night ride with 8 other local jeep owners tonight. Rode out about 7pm and just getting home at 2:30 am. Beat but good times anytime you can get off the grid for a few hours.
I may not be a shot callah, have new 22in blades on the Impala, but I do have new 22in blades on the John Deere. Some of the old school folks will get that one. Haha.
Learned about this place called Crumps Landing out on the Gulf of America in Homosassa about an hour north of us. Seeing as my wife and I had nothing planned for the day we decided to check it out. 100% worth the drive. Drinks & food were on point. The view didn't suck either. If your ever close...
Back in the day my 2009 BMW 335xi you could just insert your cd and it would save it to the hard drive. I did this with a massive amount of cd's and never listened to anything else. I do like the USB idea as a substitute or alternative.
I think he was saying with different wheels with better back spacing or wheel spacers you'll be fine on the pavement. As far as running offroad maybe on a smooth dirt road. 35's would be a better choice w/o adding a lift.
