In the Navarre area by Pensacola, my Jeep isn’t up and running at the moment but I still got the Cummins. Looking for more like minded people to hang with and ride the trails possibly plans some trips.

Brand new here. Name is Todd and I've been adventuring for many, many years. Live just north of Vancouver Washington. Truck is an 06' Ram 1500 TRX4, 5.7l with a Sunlite pop-up camper. Always aiming to be completely self contained for camping with comfort while keeping the rig agile enough to get where I want/need to go. Cascade mountains of Oregon and Washington, and desert of Eastern Oregon are my favorites. I'm a ham radio operator KB7RQQ so try to include that in my adventures with various portable gear. Instagram is @guitodd . Looking forward to learning from others on OB.
If you are a HAM and have DMR Radio capabilities... I can be found on talkgroup 31655

Hello Todd (@guitodd ) welcome from Oklahoma.
Since you are a ham check out our Friday Echolink net at 1830 Pacific time. It does have a DMR link via talkgroup 1137550, but truth be told many of us use the Echolink App.

Hey Everyone,
Wanted a place to get input and learn more about overlanding. I’m a prior service Marine, and recently got interesting in overlanding while doing a build for my little brother as a surprise / welcome to fatherhood. We both love to be outside and he loves his 4Runner. It started with the engine needing to be rebuilt and took off from there.

Hello all, Jeff here & I live in the NE corner of Oklahoma. I have been (overlanding) longer then I would care to admit. I cut my teeth in the northern woods of Minnesota, spent a few years lost in the deserts of the west, & now the last two decades running around the back countries of Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, & Arkansas. My currant rig is a 04 Chevy Trailblazer that's been nothing but a beast for me. I know most see the goofy IFS they used and run for other options. Myself, I know it's abilities, proceed within those limits, & enjoy views most only dream of seeing. I've owned & built MANY off-road toys from overlanders/tube frame rock buggies & know they have their place. But I'd rather enjoy the open road in comfort with reasonable trail abilities these days.
I look forward to meeting some like minded people!

Howdy from Cibolo, Texas! I'm new to the group, but I've done some light overlanding in the past. Much of it involves rumbling around Hidden Falls near Marble Falls, TX. :)
I have a 2016 Toyota 4Runner TE and my modifications aren't too wild so far:

Hi TJ...Mine is the 4.7 HO...it has a small lift of 40mm and I have just replaced most of control arms with adjustables...so it rides really nice now!
So you had some time to explore here that's great!
I have a rooftop tent but no haven't have it on the top...building a trailer with a Ford Ranger tub for offroad camping and going to mount the RTT on it...right now if I'm camping in the bush...it's either a double swag or a tent...when I go on extended trips I take my old wind-up Jayco on road camper as basecamp!

Hello everyone my name is Kiano. I’m from Long Island New York. I’m a weekend adventurer/explorer and up until I got my Acura MDX I didnt to do much off-roading strictly paved roads since my last car was well a car. Since purchasing my Adventure Rig I’ve been camping off the beaten path and loving every second of it. Furthest west I’ve ever been was West Virginia. I’ve traveled up and down the east coast almost every weekend for the past 2 years.
Now for my Rig. Well she’s stock but it manages to handle every obstacle I throw at it so no complaints yet.
Future mods are on the Back burner until I get adequate camping equipment. I’ve only ever seen 1 or 2 Mdx’s on the trails and they’re owned by the same person.
I’m looking for more like minded people to follow on Instagram

Hello all,
Was just recently introduced to over landing, I've been doing it for a bit but didnt know there was a community, working on building up my new truck to a proper rig, 1994 chevy k1500 with a slight lift and a camper top, eventually want to get a tent but for now air mattress in the bed works good.

Very cool, I wasn't sure if you got the 4.7 HO too down there. Also, that old pop-up trailer is awesome! Looking forward to your Ranger tub-trailer build too, I assume you'll have a thread?

Howdy! I'm Sam. I'm from central Ohio, and I drive an '04 Ford Ranger. I've spent most of my life outdoors, so overland feels like the next way to keep adventuring. I'm new to this personally, but I have been on some trips with friends. That said, I'm exited to learn as much as I can from everyone here.
