Hello from SF Bay Area

[METIS]

Received much help from OB community members over the years and figured it's time to become more active in the community myself. I'm a novice overlander - if I could be even considered as such, but an avid traveler and backpacker. Also a bit of a car enthusiast so hence the merging of two interests.

Here is what's in the garage:

1991 Range Rover Classic - Hunter

Currently undergoing a restoration

2018 T4R TRD Pro

Nothing about me is particularly interesting, but I'll take nearly anything camping if given the opportunity.

In celebration of the new viper, I took one camping in Half Moon Bay.

Looking forward to meeting a bunch of you.

It was one of the cars I've always loved. The opportunity to purchase one opened up a couple years ago and I jumped on it. Loving it.

Welcome! Novice myself here as well. I live in the east Bay and my partner lives in the South Bay. Great to see other Bay area folks around!

We drive a 4th gen 4runner and mostly go to the Sierras or hollister hills for some wheeling and practice.

See you around!

North of the bridge here and welcome. I'm new here as well. Lots to explore in this neck of the woods. You have an impressive fleet!

 

[brianjayes]

Would be great to explore, been to Hollister twice now and Carnegie once only, excited to do something new. Don't quite have the overlanding setup yet but would be awesome to hone in the offroading skills

The story with the Land Rover is a bunch of my friends were heading off to Hollister for an overnight. At the time all I had were non-suitable cars so I figured I would just rent something and hopefully not break anything. The morning before I found this Rover in San Rafael, next thing you know I was up north and trying to figure out how to transport 2 cars home. Towing companies wouldn't move till after traffic so it arrived just after 11pm the night prior in untested condition. The original idea was to purchase it, tow it down and have it at least looked over. 7am the next morning I took it to Hollister and somehow miraculously survived. I did get it stuck on some rocks, but that's an entirely different story.
