Hey everyone! I’ve been reading the forums for over a year and wanted to wait to register ‘til I had a rig. Well... today we picked up a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon. I’d been leaning towards a 4Runner for over a year but in the last month decided definitively on a Jeep & waited to find the right one!
My wife and I love taking our three kids, ages 12, 7, & 3, camping and did a 17 day road trip before in a minivan before ever hearing of overlanding!
I have an 08 Honda Ridgeline that I’ve taken to Big Bend and other trips. Can’t wait to get out in the world with this Jeep!

Hello Brent (@Ofiverland) welcome from Oklahoma, though I am originally from Lubbock.
I too have a family of 5 and need to get to work on my trailer so that I can haul the family and the gear. Have you decided how you are going to load out the Jeep?

You are in the Southwest Region. Check out the Southwest Region sub-forum for local information and involvement opportunities.

Here is the link to the forum calendar and Meet-Up event page: Overland Bound Meetups
Or to check out what other members are planning go here: Overland Trip Planning

June 7th – 9th is the OB Rally Southeast in the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas.

I am the SW Region Member Rep so if you have any questions let me know.
 
Welcome from Central Texas. We are also a family of 5. But, with two of them now out of school and working, we are an overland of just 3. Enjoy all the adventures with your family.
