Traveler I

Hi all. I'm new to these forums. I've always wanted to do overlanding and some rock crawling and exploration. Originally chose to purchase a 2000 Jeep Cherokee to do the original overlanding build but shortly after my purchase and getting it all mechanically sound it was stolen from me. So I had traded in my car and purchased a 17 Wrangler JK Unlimited a month later to build for travel, camping and exploration. So far I have done quite a lot with it. Still things to do for our Overlanding and camping aspects but going as fast as money will allow. All of my vehicle names usually are Sci Fi space based themes. So we named the Jeep Nostromo as from the film Alien. I've slowly added in Xenomorphs and other Alien franchise theme stuff. Depending on how much of a fan of the franchise you are, you will notice more than others.

The family and I hope to do much more travel and plenty of trails. Hope to meet some good people here.

Hey Jay, welcome and killer Jeep! I just picked up an OB membership today from Expo West. Sorry to hear about Cherokee, some people suck. I'm in Phoenix too. Let me know if you want to hit up some trails.
