A little late to the overlanding scene but excited to meet new people and see new places!
I’m Jon from Wind Gap PA
2013 Ram 1500 is my rig
Still fairly basic for now
I’ve always loved nature and to be able to get out and go on long trips where your vehicle is your home base is the perfect fit for my lifestyle. Pretty new to the overlanding scene and love to learn. I’m use to old dirt trails and back roads and would love to find more! Can’t wait to see y’all on the trails!
