My name is Jorge, I thought I was the only one on long island NY with curiosity of the outdoors. Here's my rig, 2020 Taco Sport on eibach and 33s. I've had the Taco for 8 months now and planning a 9 day trip in May to visit a few national forests.

Hi all. Am a beginner at overlanding, many many years of tent camping and fishing. Always had the itch for Overlanding and scratched it when I purchased my jeep.

Location: West coast of Central Florida - near Tampa & also just north of Ocala N.F.
Rig: 2017 wrangler sport- didnt want any bells and whistles rather learned what I wanted and needed as I went along
Experience: still a beginner; have hit a few trails and getting the bug for it bad... :-)20210415_102423.jpg

Thank you. The come along was my son attempting to move it after it broke down. Now it has had a new Injector Pump, Radiator, New Electric Fans, Brake Booster and Master. There are a few smaller things that I am doing. Money is tight like for most people. Tires is my next challenge. Not sure it's safe to go to the store not to mention out on the trail. Have a great week. Hope y'all can get out this weekend. Looks Beautiful in the Northwest.

Hi everyone,
My name is Craig and I am from Anchorage Alaska. Been into overlanding for around 5 years now as a way to get out and explore the state with my family (now 13 and twin 10year olds) started with my personal rig a 2000 landcruiser and now starting up a side gig renting overland vehicles in Alaska as Alaska Overlander with two new 4runners fully kitted out with everything you need and an Valiant expedition trailer. Check us out at www.alaskaoverlander.com

Love this activity and our family has so many memories that we will keep with us.

Level? Constantly learning and exploring.

Looking forward to seeing you on the trail

Hello Everyone. I'm Ryan. My wife and I recently purchased a GX470 to dip our toes into overloading. We are just getting started. We both like photography and video production on a hobby level and look forward to combining these hobbies with overloading in the great outdoors. We are in the northern Utah area near Salt Lake City.

The GX. Still stock for now...

We also have a Ford Bronco on order and are excited for that to come.

Hello Everyone,
Name is Jose.
I live in HB, Orange County, California.
I've been an avid camper and backpacker for more than 10 years now,. I used to off road a lot in Baja, so when I found overlanding was the combination of 2 of my favorite things I had to get into it! Recently got a Tacoma and decided to get back into off-roading, Since I don't know many people that like doing this, here I am, and exited to be part of the group and go on some adventures.

New to overlanding but super excited to get involved with some adventures with my 2 dogs. My wheels are a 2008 Tacoma. Built a bed with drawers in the canopy last summer. Slowly stocking my camping gear and tricking out my stealth camping bedroom as I learn what is relevant and what is not. Located in beautiful British Columbia Canada
