Buckle up for a fun ride! In this episode of RTR, Ann joins us to share her adventures, mishaps, and wisdom from years of overlanding. We kick things off with her 5th Gen 4Runner mods (split into two parts for good reason!) and the unforgettable story of when she rammed into Garrick’s parked rig.

From there, Ann talks about how she first got into overlanding and what drew her into this community. We swap stories about legendary trails like Black Bear Pass and Moab, before moving north to the Alcan Highway — complete with Ann’s road-tested tips (and yes, Costco gets a shout-out as a trail essential).

The conversation also dives into the personal side of overlanding: making space for a partner, balancing adventure with relationships, and keeping it fun along the way. Of course, we couldn’t resist sprinkling in some overlander humor and wrapping it all up with our signature random recommendations.
