Hello everyone. Pretty stoked to be joining, seems like a pretty active community. I'm just getting started with overlanding. Over the last few years we've (including my wife and two young daughters) been doing cross country trips with a 2015 Tundra and decent size trailer - been a blast. We've gone "off-road" a number of times, but nothing requiring 4x4. We wound up in Moab one trip and we follwed a guide through Hell's Kitchen on ATV's and fell in love with 4x4'ing. We no longer have our Tundra, but have gone back to a 2018 4Runner TRD Off-Road (we've had 2 older 4runners) and are planning another cross country trip. What I'd really like to find out is where I can find forestry roads to start working my way up in experience from dirt roads to potential crawling. Hard to find routes and learn about the routes.

Hi Oakdalian and welcome to OB! Nice rig! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Hello all!
I am a novice wheeler and enjoy camping and exploring so I thought I should combine all of these things. Have had Toyota pickup on the Rubicon and owned a couple of Blazers, one I did a 1 ton conversion. But definitely a novice. Although I have several overland candidates I will start with
1997 Toyota Land Cruiser
I’m in Southern California

New to the group! Just wanted to say hi. I drive a 2012 Nissan Frontier crew cab. Basically stock at the moment other than full skids and a leveling kit, but parts are ordered and trickling in. Shell is two weeks out, tent & fridge are sitting in garage, 2.5 lift is on the way, and then the fun of putting it together begins! I’d say I’m a little above a novice Overlander. Built a simple rack and converted a cot tent to sit on it to see if it was something my wife and I would use enough to justify buying a proper roof top tent. After two seasons we decided it was time to upgrade! Looking forward to getting (a lot) more use out of the new gear and meeting new people! (Picture of the truck is old, will post another once the new goodies are on)

Hey everyone I am new to this group and to over landing! I just moved to the RENO/TAHOE area from MN and discovered that this is something that fits the lifestyle of my GF and I very well. We like to camp hike fish photography and explore! I drive a 14 Nissan Xterra PRO4X with 33's and new rear bumper and garvin rack. It has factory locker and is fun to explore in and carry the canoe on top with camping gear.

Hoping to meet more nor cal/ nor nevada ppl to overland with in the near future :D

Hi! Welcome! That's a really nice Xterra. I like the new bumper. Have fun exploring your new home area. I'm sure there's lots to find and see.

We are new to overlanding. I've spent my whole life camping, hiking and backpacking. Overlanding just seems like the best evolution to facilitate all of those activities! Plan is to use our overland set up as base camp for backpacking, fly fishing and general travel. The mountains are our happy place!
