Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Rene Daniel]

Hello Everyone! I stay in the Hickory, NC area.


That’s my rig. And I’m still new to wheeling. Always looking for a trip.

Hey man nice to see another enthusiast. See you out on the road!

 

[Rene Daniel]

Newish member here, we joined @ Overland Expo East in NC, Oct 2017. My wife and I have been overlanding for 30 years in our '86 FJ60, but also on BMW R80G/Ss. Our 60 is nicely modified for us, would like to speak to others about their 60 as well as overlanding in the east.
We joined the east contingent for a trip in VT a few months back and had an awesome time, and will do more.
What a great group and VERY well managed!!

Welcome to the group guys! Hope you find some good trail buddies!

Hey Folks-

I've been into outdoor adventure for quite a while but somehow have just now stumbled upon Overlanding. I'm quickly becoming obsessed and have been reading as much into it as possible. Looking forward to getting my rig set and heading out to explore. Here is a bit about myself and my setup so far.

Based in South Carolina
2016 GMC Sierra
Novice Overlander - Experienced outdoorsman

If you're ever over my way, feel free to reach out.

Welcome bud, there is so much knowledge here and I’m sure you’Lloyd get to put it to good use soon. See you on the trails!

Good evening everyone! Glad to be a member and be able to share ideas with like minded folks.

Im over in Virginia Beach. Hopefully there are some other members in the area.

My rig is an 06 4runner with a fair amount of suspension mods. It is still a work in progress.

I look forward to meeting everyone.View attachment 39066

Love the beach pic. I use Fluid Film to ward off rust, I spray it everywhere and it seeps in crevices.

Hello, my name is Jeff. I was born and raised Texas. I am a ladder truck chauffer in the Houston Fire Department. I have camped and explored the outdoors my entire life. My wife and I went on some of our first dates in the state parks around Texas. We have a 5 year old son, that is ready for some adventure. We have an RV that we pull, but I grew up roughing it in more remote locations, and I would like to share that with him. I have always wanted to get involved in overlanding, but have not as of yet. I recently purchased a Ford F250, and upgraded the suspension with a 6" fabtech stage 2 lift with foxx shocks and 37" Nitto ridge grapplers. I am looking to put together a trail worthy rig that will get me to some remote locations safely. I am not looking for a rock crawler or a mud truck, just something I can load my son and our dog up in and go wherever we would like.

This is what I started with:
This is where it is now:

I look forward to learning some stuff from this site and hopefully meeting some folks to explore with.

Hello,
My name is Erik. I am from the Netherlands, but I live just over the border in Germany. I found OB trough IamJake and am following since then. Now I finally became a member too.
Last month I drove the Amsterdam Dakar Challenge in an Opel Frontera and sold it there for a good cause. 3 Weeks trough Afrika, a great Adventure.
But my own rig is a Suzuki SJ410 from 1984 for short 4x4 trips and an VW T4 from 1992 for the long holiday trips.
I hope to do some trips together.
