Hello, my name is Keith.
Location: Central NY
Rig: 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo WJ aka Hilde
Experience: Novice to Overlanding, have trail riding experience. Looking forward to adding a new adventure that my whole family can enjoy together.

My 5 yr old son is into everything camping and being in nature. So I figured this would be a great way to introduce him to the love of 4 wheeling at the same time. The plan for this build is a mild lift between 2.5"-3" and to test my hand at fabricating. I do have welding and design experience. This rig will also be used for a daily driver, so everything I do to it will also reflect this.
Hi Keith and welcome to OB! Nice looking Cherokee! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Hello Overlanders! My name is Brian and I live in Illinois about 40 miles northwest of Chicago. My daily driver is a 2016 JKU Sahara. It sits on a four-inch lift and 35-inch tires, so I'd like to start using it as an adventure vehicle as well. I'm new to overlanding but looking forward to learning the ropes and getting to know some of you.

Hello all! My friends call me Jody and I live in New Braunfels, TX. which is in between San Antonio and Austin. I am a novice to overlanding. When I was young we would overland camp at Little Shell and Big Shell on Padre Island to fish. Since I've become single again, I've wanted to pick up where I left off. I look forward to making new friends and hopefully learning something along the way.
My rig, which recently became my daily driver for a while, is a 1998 ZJ.

Long time lurker, new member. Just getting back into off-road adventuring from my time a few decades ago in High School. Have a 2008 Tundra called Stormi due to her Black and White theme and short for Storm Trooper. Doubt that is original, but it is to me. Good tires, good engine and good fun in my near future.
