Hey all. I'm Joe. I'm in Illinois, about 30 miles NE of St Louis. I have pretty extensive camping experience, and have been taking the 2020 F-150 out to more remote places in the last few years. Pics below are from a KOFA trip about 3 years ago. I'm planning to go out west again this winter, and recently picked up a RTT and have a proper bed rack on order. I'll post more pics as it all comes together. Glad to be here!

Hey there! New here, and new to this lifestyle, although I have always been an outdoors guy, but overall new to the vehicle side of it.

Im from the West Texas area. I just purchased a 2024 GMC Terrain AT4, I know its not much but for my current life situation and budget, I figured it would be a good start to this adventuring lifestyle. I have always been outdoors camping, fishing, hiking etc but never really dabbled into the off-roading, exploring side but here I am, ready to join a new community & have a new hobby with my sons!
Hi Joe. Welcome to OB! A friend of mine has the Terrain AT4 and loves it!

Hello. I'm new to overlanding. I've been caming for probably 40 years. Never really offroad camping just in camps/state parks ect. We decided after watching a couple years of overlanding shows on YouTube that it was what we really wanted to do. We bought a new 2023 Jeep Gladiator almost 2 months ago and are about to start building it. We have the Clayton 3.5" overland plus lift, method 703s, Yokohama Geolandar G003 MTs all hopefully being installed over the next week or 2. We look forward to learning alot from this group!

Hey everyone!
rig: 22 Tacoma
Location: southern MN
Overland experience: pretty new to it. We’ve done the TWAT, SEMAT, and we like to go up in nort minnysoda, wheel round in the iron range. It’s fun now that I have kids I’m trying to get them out doing the things I wish I could have.

let me know if you’re also in the MN area, trying to get together with some friends that do this, I’m usually solo!
