Hi everyone.
I'm new here and a novice to Overlanding. I grew up here in Portland Or. I left in 1984 to join the US Army. Served for almost 10 years before returning to Portland.
My Overland rig is a 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ. It has a manual trans. about a 5 in lift with 32" BFG KM3's.
I'm also into mountain bike racing and riding. I just plain love to be in the woods with my XJ or mountain bike.

Hi there. I'm new to overlanding. I like to be outdoors, and love to surf up and down California. With three growing kids, I thought we'd do some adventuring and appreciate the great outdoors.

Now that we are in Spring, I'll be heading out on a few trips soon!

I bought a 2019 Tacoma, that is fairly stock. Here's the rig a couple of weeks ago at Hollister Hills. That was my first time taking the vehicle 4-wheeling.

Hello, newest addition to the OB here. Been outdoorsy my life and I’m excited joining the community here. I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area. I found out about this from watching the YouTube channel. First video was the Daily silver Tacoma.
Rig: 2017 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 TRD Off-Road
Mods: -Fox 2.5 front and rear suspension with Icon leaf springs
- Camburg UCA ball joint
- 285/75/16 BFgoodrich KO2 tires with TRD Pro wheels
- KB voodoo hi-res bed rack
- Undercover flex tonneau cover
- Smittybilt RTT
- TRD Pro grill

I only been off roading for 4 years when I had my Honda Ridgeline. But then I hopped in my friend’s Tacoma and after that I needed to get one. Sold my Ridgeline and bought my Tacoma brand new. No regrets.

Hi there.........I hope this is where this is supposed to go.......So I am new here! But that doesn't mean that I am new to off roading. I have been practicing good skills and manners for the last 50 years. I am looking for something new to me so that as I get closer to retiring I will know communities that like to off road. I found over the course of life that word of mouth always leads to the best campsites and coolest places in our great country. I know some people but I am joining to meet more to share places and stories about where I need to go to next.....And I am hoping to offer you the same.....

Hello,

Came across overlanding by chance while searching for bike rack solutions for my truck. Think I found the solution :)

1) Topeka, KS
2) 2019 Tacoma DCLB Off Road
3) No experience in overlanding, did a little camping while I lived in California.

Looking forward to meeting new people and getting my kids involved with the outdoors now that they are a little older.

Check out the North Shore 6 Bike rack. It's one of the best that we use in the NW.
