Hey, everyone! Finally getting to the point financially where I can get my Jeep back. It's been a good 15 years since I've been able to have her and run trails. Didn't do a lot when I had her due to the (ex)wife, but felt so much at home when I did. Looking forward to getting back out there!

Hey folks - I found the website and forum via the Overland Bound podcast which as been really good! I'm new to overlanding an am gearing up to spend several months to a year on the road in 2020 driving thru central and south america. I currently live in Denver. In 2018 I spent a few months converting a cargo trailer to a camper and then pulled it around Colorado, Utah and New Mexico for couple months. So maybe I have a little experience!

I still drive the 2013 F-150 pictured. It's 100K miles and my current plan is to outfit that (and ditch the trailer) or the big trip next year. I want to get going and start doing some smaller trips asap - so I'm working thru how to outfit it to get started. I'm debating between a topper and building a bed and storage into it, or going the roof top tent route!

I have quite a few things from my trailer that I may incorporate into my truck based design - Battery, solar, cook stove, etc.

Hello,

New guy here! Live in Mukilteo, WA - Pacific Northwest native. Learning about off roading/orverlanding and love being the rare full-size rig keeping up with those yota & jeepers!

Rig is a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 (5.3l) crew cap standard 6.5 bed. I have a 6" fabtech lift w/ factory coil overs on Pro Comp 35" MT2 & Method Trail wheels. I have lights on the truck, locker in the rear diff and a kit (including a winch).

My overall experience is very limited; I have so much to learn. I cannot wait to get onto some trails and learn from the experts, make new friends and create new memories!

Hi,

Merv from Brisbane, Australia
Driving: 1993 1HZ 80 Series Land Cruiser Dual locked and set up for some great family touring - Have owned her since 2002, don't think I will ever get rid of my 80 Series.
Experience: Outback Trips (2005 and 2018 - both month-long trips), Gulf Country 2004, various 4WDing parks around the place. Can pretty much take on most tracks, however, still, need some experience.

Here she is with my camping trailer

Hi all! My first introduction to overlanding was living vicariously through Mike from LLOD and of course the OB YouTube channel. Shout-out to my friend Stan who suggested this community!

Background: I have never been a "car guy" but have always been a "gear guy" (EDC, lights, pouches, packs and fun things like patches). It looks like my "gear" will now include the stuff that takes me further into the wild.

That said, I enjoy rucking (thanks GORUCK!) and have enjoyed traveling everywhere my two feet could take me with everything I needed on my back. Looking forward to embracing greater capabilities with a vehicle.

Current vehicle: 2007 Honda CRV
Future vehicle: 2019 or 2020 Toyota 4Runner or similar (trying to weigh options)
I am in the process of replacing my pavement pounder with something newer, and mainly joined up for the community input.

Experience: Novice.

Location: Atlanta, GA

Hello,

Location: Longview,TX
Rig: 1978 CJ 7
Experience: Grew up camping and hunting/fishing in the outdoors. Love to travel and have mostly traveled outside of the US. Just got my Jeep late last year and just “finished” it last weekend. My wife and I are going on your first overland trip Thursday to Ouachita National Forest for a four day shake down trip. Looking forward to exploring and traveling across the US for awhile! Anyone know of some great camp sites off the trail in the Ouachita National Forest?

Hey all! Just got my membership today, and super excited to start sharing and learning from the wealth of knowledge ill find here!
Location: Denver, CO area
Rig: 98 Jeep tj 4.0 liter/maunual 5 speed
Experience: Very first car when I was 17 (35 now) was a 91 Cherokee Laredo 4.0 liter and did some light trail stuff in NY. Been into camping, hiking, mountain biking, and quads, since I was a kid. I’ve done some light off roading in other peoples rigs, since then, but bought my first Jeep as an adult, about 4 months ago. I’ve put over 200 off-road miles on it, already, after lifting it 2” and putting on 31” tires (definitely moving to 33’s soon). Living in Denver, I’ve done some relatively challenging trails here, in the Rockies, but have also been to Moab twice now

Hey I'm Steve from Portland, Oregon. I'm excited to join and start participating in the community. I don't have a ton of experience but I do get out to the dirt pretty often and I'm planning some trips in parts of remote Oregon, Nevada, and California. I drive a 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk. I've only had it for a few months but I'm enjoying it a lot. Yes it's a DD too which is a bummer but that's my situation at present. I haven't built it up much other than a roof rack although I'll be adding some rock rails soon. For what I like to do it's on target.

I love exploring forest roads and national forests around home. I'm looking forward to learning more from all of you and hopefully connecting with some other overlanders.

Here's a shot of the trail hawk on an awesome trail through Newberry National Volcanic Monument in central Oregon. The road goes straight through a lava field (the surface in the picture is an oasis of gravel in a long stretch of awesome lava rock -- the road is amazing).
