Coming soon!
New member here! Have family property in Parker AZ, and 15 acres outside of Williams AZ! I have been doing a lot of work at the Williams property, but now building an overland rig and would be up for exploring more of this beautiful state!

Will be hitting the expo this year! About WEST — Overland Expo®
Hey Disco,
I am in the PHX area. Williams is where I do all my hunting. I only apply for the Units around Williams. I am building out a 2006 4Runner so I have a rig to take up there when I go hunting, fishing, and camping. I am willing to do some weekend trips around the state if your looking for another truck to join you?

New member, located in kinda Florence, kinda San Tan, but more outside of them both lol. Beginner to offroad, would like to learn. Things like tire pressures, emergency bathroom options (bad stomach has really kept me from exploring much), and just learning vehicle capabilities.
I'm a hobby photo taker, been shooting for about 15-16 years and the main reason I've wanted to get out and adventure, along with a target shooter, finding open areas for some longer distance with no one around to trash it. I live within range of box canyon (Florence) and not too far from Bulldog but haven't tried either, not sure which is a good trail to begin on as I typically go out solo.

Hello Jeremy, welcome to the OB community. For trail information try trailsoffroad.com I have found their evaluation of the ease of the trail to be accurate. I am an avid photographer also one of the main reasons for my 4Runner build.

New member here from Apache Junction. I am just starting to explore the overlanding lifestyle and, to be frank, I know nothing about it...yet.

I have a Jeep JLUS which will be getting a few mods done to it to protect some of the boxes underneath, add a winch and a few other tweaks. When it comes to comms, navigation, maps, GPS, overlanding gear, what I need and what I don't need...well...I'm lost but learning. :grinning: I will NOT wait to start exploring locally until I think I have everything I need. I will have the basic stuff handled and even a few things beyond basic needs. I know that understanding what I truly need will come with time on the trail and what those experiences teach me.

Looking forward to some adventures!

Welcome to the fun. Just getting out there is the best approach it will teach you what you need and wont need on a very personal level.

I cannot believe we are still the only ones from AZ! I guess we need to recruit!
Hey folks. Just joined up. My wife and I live up in the Peoria area in Vistancia. Always looking for new folks to meet, wheel and do over landing stuff with. Reach out to me with any events or other stuff coming up. Can't wait to get involved.
