Hello all!
My name is Chris.
I live in East Haddam Ct.
I have a 2011 Toyota 4runner.
(Work in progress)
I'm new to the overlanding sport but I've been four wheeling for 20+ years.
I'm excited about putting some miles under my belt overlanding!
I look forward to learning a ton of info from everyone's experiences here!

Hi all!

I live in the San Diego area.

I'm using a 2013 Jeep JK Rubicon to get around in on my adventures. Most recently to the Sierra Del Rosario mountain range in Mexico, (a true overland experience navigating miles of sand dunes to reach the range). It's a 2-door but has the heart of a larger overland rig! We make it happen and that's all that matters.

I've been camping all my life so I am experienced in that area for my needs. I started off-roading 17 years ago as a rock crawler in various Toyotas and now a Jeep so have experience there. There's always room for improvement and I'm always looking to learn more.

Anyway, glad to be signed up here and checking out the site!

Hi new member from oz , enjoy getting out in the australian bush at present doing so in a fiat 500x 4x4 not bad for what it is .
Click to expand...
That's awesome. Welcome to the crew! And it's reasons like this why I joined recently .. I didn't even know that fiat had a 4x4 edition 500. But then again, being from Canada Fiat only started selling here 4-5 years ago. Still building its brand. I look forward to hearing how it does on the trails. Cheers!
