Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Hey Gang,
I am a long time outdoors type person, but have just recently started getting into over landing. I currently use a 1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ as my camping/hunting vehicle. I have my current build progress on this thread here https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/desert-stormtrooper-236630/

Looking forward to getting to know some neat people on here and spending more time exploring places I have not been!
-Jason

I believe you either get an email that confirms your membership or there is a forum that you can request that Michael or one of the other staff to turn it on.

Hey everyone,

Joining y'all from Dallas, TX. We just got a 2017 4Runner Limited in July. Lots of road-trip, camping, and backpacking experience but never offroad except for geology field work in western Nevada. We'll be fixing that soon though! Planning to make a few upgrades and run the Georgia Traverse in April!

Hello Steve from the Inland Empire...welcome to OB! So the previous owner didn't take the time to remove their emblems or can something like that be transferred. I have heard they are a pain to remove once on a rig. Hope to see ya out on the trails.

Thanks you too! Previous owner didn't remove and it's a 0800 number, just got word that it can't be transferred so I'll be getting my own badge, heatgun and scraper should work, don't really care about the paint though lol

Hi Guys,

Thought I'd best say hello in here. Just got my number through and really stoked to be part of such a community.
I'm Alex and I'm from Hastings on the South Coast of England. Had my LR Discovery 3 (LR3) for nearly 5 years now and always loved long trips in the car and offroading so the two combined together have fuelled my passion for Overlanding.

Was obsessed with the Camel Trophy expeditions since a very young age and love anything with an adventurous spirit. My next overlanding trip is hopefully across from Britain through France and to Spain over the Pyrenees mountains soon, something I've been planning for a couple of years.

Really looking forward to meeting up with some fellow OBers and discussing things on here some more.

Hello everyone, I have been around for a few months but never introduced myself.
I overland out of the Bakersfield CA area (Just north of LA) I travel large distances for trips and you could find me just about anywhere for a run.
My rig is a Yellow 2009 Jeep JKU with Gobi Stealth Rack, Overland Pros Mojave RTT, winch, bumpers and many more mods.
As for experience I come from a primarily rock crawler background and am moving more toward overlanding for very remote camping. (you likely won't find me anywhere you pay to camp)
I am always down for an adventure feel free to drop me a line anytime. I am almost always able to join a weekend trip. Looking forward to meeting many of you at the Mojave rd #2 Rally Point.

Welcome Bandit from the Inland Empire. Nice to have you aboard even if you have been in the shadows for the first few months. Hope to see you out on the trails.

If you have an OB# then you can go to the forum called "Have an OB emblem, upgrade your account" and post your number. They will upgrade you once you do that.

Hi, very new to both the OB community and overlanding in general. Love to get outside with my family. Camping, SUP, kayaking, cycling, hiking, etc etc. Previously we were in St. Louis Missouri, where it was hard to get many places, but now we are in the beautiful state of Michigan; Grand Rapids specifically. Looking forward to many years of traveling north and getting outdoors!

I inherited a 2005 Honda Pilot which I am beginning to outfit. More than anything I'm just looking forward to getting outdoors.

Hi all member 4057 here. My name is James i'm from north east Oregon. I drive a not so stock 1st gen explorer. Ive always loved camping and all things outdoors. When I found overlanding I had just lost my father and to be quite honest myself. it gave me something to keep my mind off of things. I have three kids 10 6 and 3 all go with me anytime they can. My wife only when we camp at a campground lol we've put many miles on our rig mostly local trips within 200 mi radius. looking forward to visiting family in Bakersfield next year and hit up some places where i grew up. Hope to see you all on the trail!20170903_093143.jpg20170910_162846.jpg
