Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[sinon_box]

Hi everyone. Signed up a while ago, but never posted. Probably because I'm always nervous about if I'm actually going to belong in a group because I have something definitely different than the vast majority of yall.
This is a 2014 Scion xB. If anyone is from Australia, you may recognize this as the Toyota Rukus. Fairly small and only 2WD. This pic is before I lifted it.
I'm in Nebraska, so have to travel a lot for most of my adventures. It's typically just around the middle states so far.
If you go by the definition in the first post of this thread as overlanding being "vehicle dependent travel", I've been doing it off an on with mostly small 2WDs. Usually build out the hatch area to camp in.

Hello Dan, welcome to the OB community. I hope you are able to "soon" do some expeditions down here in Oregon, and, California. I live in Southern Oregon and just love all the beautiful places to explore in.

Thanks Big G!

Hi Gabe,

Pleasure to meet you and thank you for the information.

Unfortunately I am currently working overseas and cannot commit to meeting via Zoom. Time zone differences.

I sent a request to follow on Facebook and when I get back home I expect to be more actively engaged.

Cheers
Stay healthy and safe.

Dan

Hi there!
Blake from Shawnee OK, active duty nurse currently stationed in Oceanside CA, so we are loving all the adventure opportunities out here (prior to COVID-19, that is). Primary rig is a 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4 with a rooftop tent on the way, but we'll take the kids out in our 2013 Subaru Outback sometimes if it's an easy excursion. Offroading, camping, and hiking are our favorite activities, and we've been getting into kayaking recently. Overlanding experience is moderate, but no long/extended trips under my belt yet. Excited to be part of the community!

Hi Everybody!

Location: Fort Collins, CO
Rig: 1990 Isuzu Trooper
Experience: I’m definitely a beginner, however, most definitely a wandering traveler. I work for the Forest Service during the summer months and travel to new unexplored (for my part that is) places, people and things. My end state is to eventually do the Pan American Highway, but know I have a lot to learn about my vehicle and overlanding before I embark on that journey. Here to learn, but more importantly to adventure with my rig and people who share that same zest for life.

 

[Magic Mike]

Hi All, my names Gavin. I’m from England in the UK. Have been into expedition trips for years. Following the overland scene for some time. I am now in the process of buying my first Landrover Defender/overland project. Looking forward to seeing what you guys are up to and being further inspired by your projects and ideas!
