Good day. Name is Randy and my rig’s name is Natasha. She is a 2019 Ram Power Wagon. Hail from the Monterey Bay area in California. I have a number of years experience overlanding, mostly with a 2014 Ram 1500. I’m here with the intent to learn and help when possible. My first project is going to be building a bedslide for Natasha. Thanks in advance for all the help. View attachment 131847

Welcome to OB. Hope you can post some pictures of your rig soon. Anxious to see those bumpers. New Braunfels is beautiful town, love the park and pavillions there. I never could get my wife to like camping. Her idea of camping was a Marriot hotel. With six kids camping wasent a lot of fun for anyone. My kids liked to go hunting with me though and wheeling in the desert sand hills. Happy Holidays ahead.

Hello, all! #21726 here!

We’re Houston, TX and are interested in thoughtful exploration and love the inclusive mission of this community. I work for an airline so we split our travel time between the road and the air.

We’re two humans and two small dogs with a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek to which we’re slowly but surely adding capability. Since I drive the car to work every day and trips in Texas can start to rack up mileage very quickly we’re trying to build out our rig to be able to handle 2-3 day trips with dirt and rough roads and still be comfortable and reasonably efficient with an emphasis on modularity.

Hi Guys! New here. 20 years old. Been offroading since I could reach the pedals. Currently have a 2007 JKU 2" lift. Nothing fancy but it's getting there.

Hello! My name is Zack, and I'm a 17 year old who explores with my dog all over SW Idaho.

My current (temp) vehicle is a 1993 GMC Sierra K1500. My main rig is currently sitting in my garage waiting for me to breathe some new life into her, a 1987 Toyota Pickup that is 100% stock and goes anywhere I point it.

I am looking forward to seeing your Toy finished. I am also glad to see a young man interested in the Outdoors, my son is 18, and hates the country life.
