Welcome, @12poundtest! You are in a great place to meet new people... both virtually and in person. There are monthly meetups occurring for Northwest Washington that might be a good starting point for making new friends. The next one is a Christmas Tree Run coming up on December 9th [link]. To find out more about what is going on in the area, check out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link]. You can also take a look at the list of posted events on the Rally Point system [link].

So 73 from K6JDI and I look forward to seeing you out there! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.

Thank you Jedi for the greeting and info. I’ll check out the links. 73!

Welcome @Dyllon9! It's always great to see more PNW overlanders joining this happy band of merry fools. That is a nice Ram and a great view of Mt. Rainier. Hmm, 20 minutes east of Seattle, you say? I believe that puts you 1 block east of Seattle (taking into account for traffic).:laughing:

Anyway, there are a number of great overlanding events occurring throughout the PNW, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your “neighbors”. One that I know of and is close by is coming up, the Christmas Tree Run, on December 9th [link]. Even if you can't make that one, events are frequently posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.

I look forward to seeing you out there! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.

Hi everyone. I'm don. Im located in socal. I have a 2012 jku. With a few aftermarket things on it. My experience is mostly fire roads and easy trails. I want to do the bradshaw trail as first over land trip. I just dont have any trail buddies or a winch. Looking forward to learning everything I can from anyone I can.

Hey Don, I live in Corona and go out frequently and have a few local buddies that go too if you want to go with a group. Also check out the IE Meetup on the third Saturday of every month too, a great group of guys.

C8D33073-0758-457E-8BA0-0BA6467C279F.jpeg Hello from Anchorage, Alaska. You could say I’ve been an overlander for a while. I generally keep to easy trails and seasonal roads. I’ve found that what most people here call “atv trails” are easy trails for slightly modified road rigs to handle. I just bought a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk and hope to have some parts ready to go on come spring so I can be out this summer.
 
New member from Jacksonville FL. 2000 Land Cruiser with an assortment of modifications for off-roading/remote travel. A couple years of offroading/Jeeps experience. Sold my TJ for a daily driver a few years ago and wanted another 4x4. Decided on a junk 2000 Land Cruiser. Slowly got it back to decent condition and it was perfectly paired with my desire to explore and camp in remote places. Plus I don't care (as much) if damage happens. Been averaging about a trip every two or three months for the last year mostly in the southeast. 1) Blue ridge, GA 2) Chattanooga, TN (twice) 3) Ashville, NC. Planning a trip to the South Core Outer Banks for new years. Glad to be here and learn!

Welcome to OB! Sweet rig! I've been thinking about a Land Cruiser or an LX470 for my next big purchase, though I'm not ready to replace the 4Runner so I'm on the fence. If you make it back to the Asheville area again we'd love to run some trails with you!

Enjoy!

Hi there!
Location: Golden, Colorado
My rig is a built up 2000 f250
My experience is average I guess, I've been going camping since I was a fetus and I've always loved relying on my truck to get me there and be everything I need it to be
I look forward to be apart of this community and share ideas, experience and tips on how to better myself as an overlander
