Hi, my name is Shawn, and I'm a novice overlander from Knoxville, TN. I was happy to find this group while searching for ways to attach a platform for a RTT that would work over the bed of my truck, attached by means of a Rhino track style bedrail track,while allowing to keep my Undercover tonneau cover in place. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank youView attachment 275602

Hey, I'm David, a new member here. I grew up and Montana, Wyoming, in western South Dakota. Up until I left for college, our family did similar things to over landing. Now for the first time since I was 18 years old I have a four-wheel-drive and looking to get back into over landing. Now I live in the upstate of South Carolina. Lots of good novice forest service roads to cut my teeth on. Rig is being kitted out. It is a 2024 Toyota 4runner TRD Pro. I'm excited to get back out on the dirt roads.View attachment 275420

Hi,

I am Alex, currently in my search for the right rig for me. Last year together with my girlfriend I bought our HZJ75 "Ben" in Arusha, Tanzania and it has been a bumpy ride eversince. Buying a car in Africa is not an easy thing to do and fixing it there even less so. Therefore I am currently selling our car which is Located in Iringa, Tanzania for the same price we bought it (although we invested around 5000€ in repairing it.

Furthermore I am looking for a new rig and I found one for sale with is a HZJ79 but with Three! axles. Now I am thinking if this is a good idea, therefore I made this post:

Cheers

Hello everyone! Wanted to post something to say hi and give a quick intro. I'm here to connect with other overlanding and adventure travel enthusiasts.
Looking to purchase a Gen 3 Mitsubishi Montero to build an overlanding rig. Anyone here using the Montero/Pajero platform? What are your thoughts looking back at your build?

Hi all. Am a very new beginner member who got interested in Overlanding after watching Mountain State Overland and Expedition Overland on YouTube.

Location: North New Jersey, so miles from any real Overlanding territory.
Rig: Chevy Equinox 2008 AWD, pretty good for road trips.
Experience: watching YouTube :)

Hey everyone. New guy from LI, NY. My name is Tom. I drive a 2021 Toyota Tacoma. It has a few things done to it and is my camping/beach wheeling/trail bombing adventure suit. I am usually in the woods with my wife and dogs (Huskies) trying to figure out where we should camp. We love adventuring and look forward to checking the forums out!

Welcome Tom! I think Long Beach Island in NJ allows Oceanside driving at certain times of the year. Not sure about camping though. So many great options outside the NY metro area!
