Hello everyone!

I've been lurking here for about 6 months now and finally decided it's time to join. I moved to Seattle from the East Coast about 9 months ago and quickly realized that I needed a capable off road vehicle to be able to explore the beautiful PNW. So I bought a 2009 LC200 with 160K miles on it and I plan on turning it into a proper overland vehicle over time for a future road trip across the US and Canada.

I've named the truck Deev. It came with Ironman Foam Cell Pro 2" Suspension Kit. I swapped the wheels and tires to ICON Rebound 17" and 285/75/17 BFG T/A KO2s. I'm taking a form follows function approach when it comes to the mods that I want to perform, so I keep going to different trips and compile a list of things that I realize I need.

Deev: Deev in British English. (diːv) (in Persian folklore) a wicked and demonic supernatural creature.

Here are some photos of Deev:

You can see a short video clip of me going through a narrow road:

Meaning that you didn't want a rig until you got to the Pacific Northwest. You from New Jersey or something?

I used to live in DC area. Maryland to be specific. Nothing wrong with the East Coast. It's just that I was never into off roading/overlanding until I moved to Seattle. I used to go to Shenandoah a lot, but I'd take a sports car to Skyline Drive and drift as much as I could... that's pretty much the only place I went to.

Yeah I understand that is tight. Our founding fathers didn't plan for land cruising but they did play for expansion and you won that lotto. 👍

Sorry for the very late response! I was in DC area. Didn't really go to the nature other than Shenandoah valley. I got into overlanding when I moved to PNW.
