Only recently discovered overland and got the bug bad! Currently shopping for a rig…

Hi everyone, glad to have found this community! I love camping and getting outside and much as possible but over the last few years life has gotten in the way of much adventuring. Recently my partner and I were able to clear some major hurdles and are excited to actually get out and explore again. I used to own a '96 Tacoma but that has been my only truck. We recently made the decision to sell my beloved Audi Avant and buy a proper truck that can do the duty of a tow vehicle and adventure rig. Looking forward to learning and gaining inspiration from y'all.

Hello all, Name is Casey.
Live in the greater Phoenix area.
I'm married with three kids and love getting our family out to new places.
Started offroading a little over four years ago in a '96 FZJ80. Unfortunately the 80 had to leave.
We currently get out and explore in our '08 Land Rover LR3.
Started watching OB and Lifestyle-overland several years ago. Love the content.
Have been a gear head my whole life and love the outdoors and off road scene.
I'm new to forums and don't spend a lot of time logged in outside of work. Will try to be present and contribute as much as possible.
Please forgive me for any newbie mistakes.View attachment 107752

Hello everyone.

I’ve been an avid camper and fisherman all my life. Before kids, I was really in to rock crawling. Now that my girls are getting older, I want to introduce them to the outdoor life and enjoy family time with them. I have a few local (Los Angeles) friends that are Overlanders.

My current rig is a 2018 Ram 1500 crew cab. Only mods so far are N-Fab side steps and a soon to arrive Diamondback HD cover.

Hello! My name is Tim. I live in Peoria AZ, and I just bought a 2011 Nissan Xterra last month so the wife and I can get out in nature more and escape to cooler weather! My off-road experience is pretty extensive, I have been building hard core rock crawlers and off-road race cars for 15 years. I have raced all over the mid West, western states and down into mexico. Professional mud trucks, Jeeps, Trophy trucks, Ultra4 cars in all classes. I have drove, codrove, put crew, crew chief for all levels of teams. Looking to slow down and bring the wife along to enjoy the scenery of all the things the world has to offer. Started to gather lift parts and will be building bumpers this winter, but I have almost completed my communications and navigation. Look forward to getting out there and meeting some of you.

Hi all, newbie from Texas. I love outdoors and have given my wife the overland bug. SView attachment 107705View attachment 107706View attachment 107707he has been shopping like crazy for new equipment and booking trips left and right. I started out building my overland rig as a mid travel "pre runner" back in high school. When I graduated and started college reality set in and i wanted to build something more versatile. I took my 99 ram daily driver and began building bumpers, roof racks and outfitting it for general overloading using guidelines from online forums like this. As she sits today 99 ram 1500 2wd laramie, 4.56 gears,5" front lift using spindles and springs, rear 2" lift using factory blocks from 4wd, bilstein 5100 series shocks, dual batteries, 17 gallon fresh water tank, 285 75 16 tires, 3/4 ton brakes front and rear, limited slip diff, roof rack, bed rack, front and rear bumpers, and lighting systems. Soon I would like to add new rear suspension, additional lights, solar panel setup, winch, larger rtt, and a fridge/freezer. I look forward to seeing everyone out there.

This is a little out of date, done a few mods since this photo.
KMS Roof Rack, Poison Spyder Fenders and various other things. Have some clean up to do before I am willing to take pictures with the new mods.

Location:
Roughly Austin Texas.

Rig:
A 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK 2 Door.

Overlanding Experience:
Recreationally I would say I am a newbie to Overlanding. I have done very similar things in my professional life for over 15 years. My driving experience is mostly in full size vehicles or military vehicles. This is my first Jeep.
Experience in navigation (both digital and paper), first line trauma response and general mechanics is very high.

Will need to improve on how to plan for recreational trips to US destinations.

My work schedule is fairly unique as I spend most of the year out of the United States. Feel free to reach out to me and if I am stateside in the greater Austin area I would be happy to help or support this community in any way that I can.

Novice overlander here. I've done atv trail riding and mudding my whole life here in Arkansas, but I just got my first jeep (2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk) and am much more interested in overlanding and camping over finding the deepest mud holes and biggest rocks to climb with this rig. I'm starting from scratch and it's going to be a slow build for me but I'm really looking forward to it.

Well Intro i guess. Hi Im Sean. Retired Navy (100%) Dis. Currently a Corrections Officer.
Live in Port Orchard WA.

SCAR(let) is her name. Once i get my rig ready I will be doing some trips and video stuff to include talking about PTSD and how to get out of the house and live your life. Im still trying to come up with a good channel name. Like : CrazyNavy-Vet Overlanding or something. Idk. Maybe some one will inspire me.


Starting out with a new to me Jeep.
2009 Unlimited X. 3.5lift/ 35s/ done some stuff but WAY more to come.
Thinking of the next following because SCAR needs new legs and knees.

Teraflex HD 44.
Just as strong as a Dana 60.
4.88’s,
ARB lockers,
35 spline chrome molly axle shafts, Adams extreme duty drive shafts with 1350 yoke.

Teraflex 3” Outback Overland lift with Falcon 3.3 adjustable reservoir shocks.

Finish it off with HD steering package,
ball joints and
Delta Big Break System.


CrazyNavy-Vet. ✌

New forum member #19025.
Location: Southern California (Inland Empire)
Rig: 2003 Ford F250 Superduty 4X4 7.3L
Plans: Retiring and want to get completely away from people from time to time with the wife. As I get closer to retirement, I envision my first trip being down to Baja and camping on the beach for a couple of weeks, imitating a "Corona Beer" commercial and sitting on the beach with a bucket of beer, watching the waves coming and going. After that, who knows where we'll go. Building an off-road trailer as the F250 is my daily driver and don't wish to carry an RTT, MaxTrax boards, etc. with me daily. I realize its a large vehicle, but don't wish to get into rock crawling or Rubicon Trail stuff. Mainly lighter 4WD stuff. So far I've been a lurker in the forums, carefully gathering information. Have enjoyed reading about the rigs, the adventures, and the expertise many on the forums possess. Hope to tap into that expertise as retirement gets closer. Thanks...

Hello All - new member from WNC,

Bought a membership at Overland Expo East two years ago and just recently got a rig to start building up. I purchased a 1998 LX470 locally. I rolled to odometer over to 270K last weekend. It needs a fair amount of work so it will be a slow build. It's got some leaks. Body roll is pretty bad. I fixed the suspension (AHC) last weekend. Needs new tires, etc, etc, etc. Like I said, it will take awhile. Looking forward to meeting some of you in the Upstate SC/WNC area soon.
