Hey everyone! I guess I'm the new guy.
My name is Zac. I'm originally from the central coast of CA (Nipomo to be exact) but moved to Walla Walla, WA about 4 years ago and purchased a house up here.
I grew up camping and wheeling with my dad and his '69 Bronco, so I'm no stranger to the outdoors/wheeling.
I've had many 4wd rigs, but currently I have a 2000 WJ. It's currently on a 4" lift and 35's.
I'm glad to be here and to learn!
Welcome Zac!

Hi all, I'm Joe! New to the forum, and novice overlander but have loved every second of being out there in my rig so far and can't wait to continue my build. Driving a Tacoma TRD Off Road, current resident of GA after a recent move from Carolina so I've been loving everything the Blue Ridges have to offer. Excited to be a part of the community!

Hello!

I need adventure--not optional. I also want to have experiences with my 2 kids before they leave the house and interject a little physical adversity into their lives. I'm also interested in getting to know people and learn from them!

I have a 2018 Land Cruiser. I am hoping it is my terminal vehicle that can take me to far away destinations.
Howdy and Welcome!

Hi my name is John
Location: South East England (West Sussex)
Rig: I have a 98 Ex MOD 110 Wolf XD Defender (FFR) and 08 Range Rover Sport but it is the Defender that I'm doing up for Overlanding.

I'm very new to overlanding and at the moment just getting my Defender ready. As you can imagine, being ex MOD, it's really basic so needs a fair amount of attention but it is a very solid platform to work with.

I'm already into wild camping and bush craft and I hunt too.
Howdy and Welcome!

Hello everyone. Really glad to be introducing myself to this fantastic community.

Name: Martin
Location: Dubai
Rig: Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit V8 (ruggedised :grimacing:)

I’m currently building up my rig to take on more local vehicle dependant exploration of UAE and Oman. I had big plans for last year but this was put on hold due to travel restrictions.

Now though I’m looking forward to the borders to opening up soon and getting my WK2 ready to explore and find adventure.
Howdy and Welcome!

Hello Everyone. I'm Mike and I just stumbled into overlanding about a year ago when Covid hit. It started as entertainment, checking out YouTube videos, and the idea of overlanding sounded interesting the more I learned about it. I'm not sure my wife agrees, but time will tell.

Location: Sussex County, New Jersey
Rig: 2016 Jeep Wrangler JKU (pretty much stock)
Overlanding Experience: Novice
Howdy and Welcome!

HI! My name is Austin. I'm a Firefighter, Entrepreneur, and independent creator with a lifelong interest in Adventure, Off-roading, and Overlanding. I started "Overlanding" mid 2003 with an old beat up Ford Ranger 4x4. Recently in 2020, as a project to share my Overlanding enthusiasm and help others I started social media endeavors. We have the major 4, just google us...

Location:
Northern California

Current Vehicle:
2018 Toyota Tundra Flatbed
2020 Four Wheel Camper
(heavily modded for adventure purposes)

Offroad/Overlanding Experience: Mucho
