Greetings,

My wife and I would like to introduce ourselves. My name is Don and my wife is Red. We are located in Lakeland, FL.

We own a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon that I am in the process of outfitting for overlanding as well as a 2017 Jeep Wrangler that is already outfitted with some basic gear (tent, cooler etc.)that my wife and I have been using for the last few years to travel around the south eastern U.S. Looking to someday head out west and explore more as time permits.

Our experience level is novice to moderate (been camping and hiking for many years now and we are hoping to pick up some good overlanding info from the group to help explore this next chapter in our lives.

Looking forward to getting acquainted with everyone...

Hi Everyone,

I'm Joel, and I am in San Diego, CA
I have a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk (KL).
I used to have a 1988 Jeep Cherokee which I bought new and drove for 13 years, exploring and camping all over the western US. I bought the new Trailhawk to be able to get back to doing similar kinds of things.

Hey everyone, my name is Eddie. I’m located in Tracy, CA or east Bay Area. Been doing some form of camping since I was a kid and I’m a huge car buff so it was only natural for me to get into overlanding. While I would say I’m an experienced camper, I don’t have as much experience with off-roading and vehicle recovery. Currently building a 2020 Jeep Gladiator to be a full time expedition rig. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hey Ed

You made it! I recognize that good looking gladiator. As you know the Pleasanton meet up is the second Sunday of the month, and there’s a Ripon meet up that is the 3rd Sunday of the month. My role here is I am the Bay Area member rep and I help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you.
This is the Ripon info:

US West - Central California Monthly Meet Up

PLEASE NOTE...THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. For another nearby meet up please look for "Central Valley-Turlock Monthly Meetup". We will be meeting the FIRST SUNDAY of each month at Pedretti Park in Turlock. Lets get some trips on the books again! If you can make it we'll meet at the...

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
View attachment 159537
Sorry, not a great or really new picture of the rig, but it's the most convenient one I could find on my phone at the moment!

2) Location (General area is fine)
Malcolm, NE (right outside of Lincoln)

3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
2004 Toyota 4Runner Limited (V8 4WD)
I've done a good bit of work to it, I'll probably do a build thread at some time just to have it all consolidated in one place, if for no other reason than for myself to go back and review!

4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
I really don't have any "Overlanding" experience, but spending extensive time in the elements isn't new to me!

Looking forward to the sharing of knowledge and experience here!

Hello Austin (@Winterx86 ), welcome from Oklahoma. It must be nice to live in the middle of the Tonto NF/Coconino NF, adventure is just outside your front door.

You are in the Southwest Region. Check out the Southwest Region sub-forum for local information and involvement opportunities.

Here is the link to the forum calendar and Meet-Up event page: Overland Bound Meetups. The Phoenix/Gilbert meet up is the closest to you, keep an eye out for an East Valley meet up. Hopefully they can get that back in full swing soon.
Or to check out what other members are planning go here: Overland Trip Planning

I am the SW Region Member Rep so if you have any questions let me know.
If you are on Facebook feel free to join us there as well, Overland Bound – Southwest.
