Received my badge today! #8956.
New to overlanding (novice). Bought a 2015 Nissan Frontier and am slowly outfitting it. So far, I've made it a little taller and stuck some BFG A/T's under it, soft top, roof rack, and lights. Next getting a rack built to go around the soft top so I can put a roof top tent. Looking to do some exploring around Oregon next year.View attachment 42389

Who did you get your rack from, I've got a 2015 Frontier crew cab 4x4 in white. Between now and October I'm having a 2 0r 3"lift kit and ARB front and rear bumpers installed.

Hi everyone!
I used to be Active Duty Army as a medic for 12 years but wanted to slow down and enjoy life a bit more. I'm currently with a National Guard unit in Oregon and living out of an RV with my wife, Andrea, and our three dogs, two which are Bernese Mountain Dogs and a German Shepherd/ Greyhound Mix.
I am new to Overlanding and really excited to try it out and slowly getting my wife in on this new hobby.
A few months before I left Georgia, I bought a 1989 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer (which my wife and I rightly named "Ghost" and have been slowly upgrading to make it more "us".
We am traveling around the country but currently in Salem, Oregon.

Hey Everyone,

My name Cam and I am up in Beautiful British Columbia Canada in a little town called Chilliwack. I am the owner of a small growing Offroad parts & Accessories business "Fraser Valley Off Road".
My Rig is a 2013 F150 fx4 with a custom RTT rack and Tepui Kukenam.
5.0 Coyote, E locker in the rear.
Hoping to get the 6.5' Leitner Designs Rack in the next year and maybe a bigger RTT.




If anyone has any pointers for gear to pack with me feel free to message me.

Will be making a trip down through the states in the spring/summer. Stopping in Long Beach, Washington at a big truck meet and continuing down to San diego maybe Mexico for a little bit. Would love to meet a few fellow members along the way!

Cheers,
Cam Arnold
Hello Cam and welcome to the OB crew..nice looking Ford and look forward to seeing your build and adventures

hey folks, I'm retiring from active duty in Jan of 18 and heading out on a big fat road trip! First to Death Valley and Mohave, then Grand Canyon. After that up to Utah where I have e few planned spots but I'm looking for the "roads less traveled" and I'm guessing this is a good place to start. I'll be hitting Zion, Bryce and of course Moab... anybody got any suggestions? I'll be pulling the rig in my photo.
Thanks!

Hello everyone!

My name is Dan and I live in Boise, ID with my wife and 2 kids. I have a 2004 Toyota Tundra DC 4x4 and a 2002 Ford E-350 4x4 home-built camper van. I have been "off-roading" ever since I first got my license, but after many years and many different vehicles, I have really come to enjoy the "overlanding" aspect of adventure. I love getting out and exploring with my family!

I'm looking forward to meeting up with others in the area that share the same passion of exploring and getting outside!

Cheers,
Dan
