Off-Road Ranger I
From one Bay Area transplant to another, welcome to the wonderful PNW! I'm a little too far North to provide solid advice on trails and fishing in OR, but if you make it to the top of WA, I can show you around a bit.

Hi Everyone!
I'm Eric and I'm a novice Overlander! My gf (who is my Overlanding partner) and I just moved to Chapel Hill, NC and are starting the next chapter in our lives, and with Overlanding!
I have a 2015 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab, Prerunner, & SR5. We'll definitely need to upgrade the suspension and convert the transmission to 4x4 to do things safely! If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it! Looking forward to being a part of this community!!!

Hi Everybody!I’m from Granite Shoals TX.
I drive a 2018 Wrangler JKU ‘Willy’s’ I’ve done all the mods to it myself and so far so good! I’m not particularly new to off-roading but I am new to doing the work myself which I absolutely love. I’m really looking forward to getting to know you guys.
Hi I am Dakota Embree, I live in Columbus oh and have all my life. I have never been off-roading on purpose and haven’t owned a vehicle that was set up to do so. I have always been obsessed with the idea of getting off the beaten path and living off what ever you brought with you. I am a huge fan of backpacking so I know how to camp and enjoy it. I will be buying my fathers 2016 Tacoma 4 door truck off him in February so I am currently making a list of all the things I wanna do to it in my head and saving up so when I get the truck I can start scratching it and building it up. I am a paramedic that works for amazon (I am like a school nurse there) I also work at the Columbus Zoo as a paramedic. I am not mechanically inclined but have passion and will learn how to work on my truck when I get it. I will be at overland expo east again this year and am excited to look at all the new inventions and cool toys to play with.

Hello! We are Jeff and Heidi. We have had our 80 series for a little over 4 years. It was in really rough shape when we got it. We have gotten it back in good mechanical shape. We are doing a lot of just day trips right now as work and kids stuff allow. We are looking forward to doing more trips that are longer. We hope to meet some people on here that help us get out and do more. We just got it back on the road after some much needed work.
Hey Derek! Welcome! I am starting to blame Swellrunner a bit as well! Oh, and Trail4R.com too ;-) There are quite a few of us in the Portland metro area I think...

Welcome Joshua (or is it Josh?)! Maybe we can help each other out on finding some fly fishing spots! I have been in the area for about 15 years and am still looking for good, accessible spots; that’s one of my top reasons for finally getting s more capable rig recently. There are quite a few spots in the Coastal range, up on Hood, and down the corridor a bit. Lots of opportunities to explore!!!!

Hey you guys and gals thanks for welcoming me. My name is Justin and I am new to overlanding. All this just starting falling in my lap. I love the outdoors and camping and rock climbing. My rig is a 1982 Jeep Cherokee Cheif, I call it Big Bird. I am still very new to all of this and am still fitting out my rig. Any information about good cheap rig setups would be really helpful. I live just outside of DC in Falls Church VA .

Welcome and Big Bird looks awesome. Sounds like there is a story behind her too? [emoji16]

Greetings from a fellow Xterra owner. There's an Xterra thread here if you haven't seen it already. Welcome to the community!
No, no real story behind her. Just trying to keep this old awesome truck on the road and give it a fun purpose in life. [emoji2]

Hey folks, just joined. Hailing from DuPont, Wa. This is absolutely my first time ever on a forum. So I don’t exactly know what I’m doing.
A litte about myself, two years ago I got a Black Lab, and anyone that has or had the honor of the company of them, they’re high energy. So, inseparable as we are. Every weekend we went off in search of trails, lakes, roads, and getaways. Which also almost immediately prompted the need to outfit my truck to stay out there longer. So here I am! As far as my truck, it’s a 2012 Tundra. Still working on it. I’d like to add a bed tent but not quite sure how I’ll be getting Shogun in and out. Anyway, thanks for letting me join the team. I look forward to learning a lot on here.

Hello from British Columbia, Canada. I’ve always enjoyed getting off road and away from civilization. About a year ago, I got a rooftop tent, and since then I’ve become more and more interested in turning my Chevy Colorado into an overland build.
