Paul here, new member from Oslo, Norway.
I drive a 2009 Hilux, slightly modified, shown in a typical Norwegian winter morning.
I've been across europe and most of Norway in this rig. It's quite interessting on the autobahn and an nice change from all the Teslas in Oslo.

Hello all,
As many new member to this wonderful site, I have been lurking around for a while. Well I finally pulled the trigger on joining (obviously), and then proceeded to have the worst week ever. First thing in the morning Monday, I had a piece of swarf (turning, chip, etc.) catch my left hand, cutting my middle finger to the bone, and left the pointer and ring with some good lacerations. The worst part is that i was going to have a long weekend, and i was hoping to get out hills for my first test run of the year. Oh well, i will always have more weekends to go and explore, maybe I will just run a few day trips with my wife. Hope to see you all out there.

I have just been looking through some post of new members and I came across peoples OB number as being higher than mine. (Just became a member today) Please correct me if I have this wrong but I thought the first 500 members could pick there numbers but after this you are given a number in succession.
Thank you
Thank you
Hey all, I picked up a '12 forester after a tree fell on my last car and decided I wanted to start working to make it a little more off-road friendly. I ran across Fozroamer's stuff, which led me to this community.
I'm an archaeologist/cultural resource guy working with the US National Park Service, so a lot of the founding principles really made sense to me. I've traveled and hiked through a whole bunch of different places, bits of the pan am down in Chile, out into inner Mongolia, and out and about in Taiwan, I'm always looking for the next adventure. The idea of "leave it better than when you got there" just resonated.
Looking forward to diving in.

Hey y'all. New member from Athens Alabama. I've been following the OB community for close to 6 months now and have finally decided to take the leap. I'm an avid outdoorsman and a veteran of Desert Storm. I Love the principles and ideas of this community and wanted to be a part of it. Though I'm new to over landing, I've spent a lot of time with nature. I recently purchased this 2011 Tacoma and I'm looking forward to setting it up (if I can manage to get it back from my wife). It's a blank canvas at the moment. All advice is welcome as this will be my first rig build. Hope to see you on the trails!
Sorry for the late reply, I'm from silverton Oregon. And thanks

Hello everyone. checking in from Portage La Prairie Manitoba, Canada! Most of my overland experience has been with a 2011 2 door jeep but I sold her and am now working on with a 2012 Tacoma. Excited to gain knowledge through these forums and meet new people!
Hello everyone, just joined and ordered my badge. Have been jeeping and camping for three years on stock JKU. Just recently started to build my dream "overland Jeep." Hope to meet new friends and explore new trails!
