Hello Gang. I'm very happy to be here. Been overlanding since we used to call it "vanning". Lol. Along came family and station wagons. While working in California and Nevada I fell in love with the desert and off road adventure. Now the kids are grown, it's time to get back to the Mojave/Moab area and explore.

Wow! That is a nice bed in the back of your unlimited. That's comfort!

Hi Everybody!

I am located in the High Desert are of California. I have been into off roading for a while now. I have a 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40 that I built into a rock crawler as well as a 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80 that I am building into my Overland Rig/daily driver. I haven't done much overlanding yet but I would love to meet some people to go out with.

Hi Dude47 and welcome to OB! Nice rigs! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Location: San Diego, CA
Rig: 2014 JKU
Experience: Jeep owner for 14 years.

My name is Renay. I've owned a Jeep for the past 14 yrs. The hardest trip I ever had was completing the Rubicon Trail 5 yrs ago with a local club. After 4 yrs of owning my current Jeep, I finally was able to put a bit of money into her. A goal is to take a cross country Jeep trip while I still have my eyesight and can climb into my Jeep. I used to just want to do day trips but I am starting to want to travel solely by Jeep.

1) Ill add a photo later but right now its a stock white 4Runner TRD - Already planning modifications
2) Minneapolis, MN (Parker, CO prior to MPLS)
3) 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD
4) I had a 2014 Rubicon that was fairly modified which I used while in Colorado (Mostly rock crawling). Since moving back to MN, I sold the JKU and bought a 4Runner. My wife and two kids enjoy camping and overland inspired road trips so we are really looking forward to having so good family fun with the 4Runner.

Hey everyone!

Beginner overlander but experienced camper here. Went to Moab last year with a group of Minnesota overlanders and had a good time. This idea is in line with my passion, which is canoe camping the BWCA region.

Location: Minnesota
Vehicle: 2012 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Stock but looking to mke some modifications but still not totally sure what to do first
Experience: I’ve been canoe camping in the BWCA and other remote area many times, and am as comfortable outside in the woods as I am in my living room. I’ve never really overlander in a vehicle however, so this idea is new to me.

Hey @Bentpine !

Ever had your rig up to the BWCA? I’ve been trying to research the forest service roads up that way and am curious to know what kinds of driving opportunities exist. I imagine the possibilities are practically endless...
