Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[PapaDave]

Good morning to all, I wish to introduce myself. I'm Roger 2486 based in Concord CA. My family and I try routinely to frequent the Sierra Foothill trails when time permits. We've been Jeeping with friends on-off for many years and have moderate experience; certainly not experts by any means and have made plenty of mistakes, which we've learned and grown from. My wife and I have been following the channel for sometime and look forward to spending time, meeting folks with similar interests and values. Overlanding appears to be the perfect fit for us as we enjoy camping, being away from life's busy distractions , etc. Current ride is a 1995 Jeep YJ Wrangler on 35's with RE 4 1/2 lift and plenty of upgrades-mods, but is kind of tight on space so we have a trailer for all our gear as well. Was built for the rocks in the beginning but interests and focus has changed. Hoping to upgrade to a JK or JL in the future but have my eye on a 1942 Willy's CJ2a field find at the moment. Looking forward to enjoying the camaraderie of others and beautiful scenery along the way. Thanks and best to all!

Hello all!

My name is Mike and after numerous delays on my 4x6 trailer build, its looking like ill have all my parts and can do a test run in the coming weeks. So I figured this is good as time as ever to officially join OB.

Experience with overlanding is non-existent however I'm a seasoned backpacker who is tired of sleeping on the ground. Ill be using my new stock TRD OFF Road for most trips. No major modifications in the future since its my daily for now.

Howdy!
I'm Steve, out of Cleveland Ohio. Rig is a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport Manual trans. Just lifted it yesterday after purchasing off the lease. It's been off road a ton while leasing but now it's on to more serious ventures. A friend of mine and I run Tri State Overland and try to get out 1-2 times a month everywhere on the east side of the Mississippi, as we're based out of Ohio, PA and NY. Currently, the truck sits on a Dobinson's 3.5" front/3" rear lift and 33" Cooper ST MAXX tires, factory rims still because I like them. My experience is mostly local off road parks and easier stuff but now that the truck isn't a lease, I plan to tackle much more. This weekend, we're running DBBB and next year I have plans to travel out west to Colorado and Utah, maybe some California trips.

Hello, I am new here just bought a 2020 4Runner TRD Off-Road Prem. I live in Wilmington NC and looking forward to exploring the coast here and further afield to the mountains. Also, just relocated from Scotland :-)

Hi all! Older member but new to the forums. Recently moved to So Cal from CO. Looking to explore the area more!

 

[AEuropa]

Hi all! I’m Alex and I live in Bozeman, MT. I’m new to Overlanding. I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro w/ a Skycamp Mini RTT. I’ve been an avid hiker/backpacker for years, and I started overlanding to give myself opportunities to explore deeper and farther into the backcountry. I’m a Wilderness EMT and plan to join the county’s volunteer Search and Rescue team as soon as they start accepting new applicants (currently on hold due to COVID). I’m also General HAM (callsign K9ALE).

PS: My dog’s name is Abba, she’s a retired Military Working Dog who is finally figuring out how to be a pet.
