Hi, Overland Bound!
I'm Ian Maddox, living in Huntsville Alabama. Found this site a few weeks ago and kept coming back - I'm starting to set up a rig to support a peculiar subset of the overlanding genre. My wife is an ultra-marathon runner, and I'm the crew chief; I meet her at various points along a 50-100mile route, quickly set up an aid station, feed/clothe/etc. when she comes through, then pack everything up and hustle to the next point. Plan is to be able to camp at the start line the night before, then be able to run this mobile support station for the next 30 hours as I drive around.
The car we're starting from is a 2018 WK2 Trailhawk (my wife's daily driver). A Gobi Rack is on order (12 more weeks to go), followed by a dizzying pile of stuff. Goal is to be able to go from pulling up to an aid point to cooking hot food under shelter inside of 10 minutes, so speed is of the essence.
I've been supporting her in these races for a couple of years now out of a Subaru WRX, but we've always stayed in hotels - as her races get further and further away from civilization, that's ceased to be an option - and now that we're going to be out in the woods, we want to be able to enjoy it. :)

Greetings Overlanders! I'm Dennis and my wife of 25 years is Dolores. We're novices and excited to get into this sport. We live in KC, KS, but Dolores is from ABQ, hence the Santa Fe Trail name that connected us (although we met in New Orleans - that's a great campfire story). Our rigs are a 2006 Tundra Limited and a 1999 Landcruiser. We're leaning towards equipping the LC, as there doesn't seem to be as mach after market gear for the Tundra. We're open to advice and suggestions.

Hi, OB!Reporting from Somerville, Massachusetts! I've been trying to find my way into the overlanding lifestyle, it's been hard to find groups in the North East that have that specific interest. Most that I find are just jeep and off-roading groups.
I've been slowly building up and restoring a 1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited with the factory E-locker and 225k on the odometer. I bought it in Florida with a full history of maintenance records and zero rust on the chassis. It's been a fun and reliable rig so far and can't wait to do more trips with it!
I just like exploring dirt roads and taking my kids camping. Been working on this little off-road trailer for the past few years and pulling it with my 2013 4Runner SR5. Nothing better than eating well and sleeping like a king in the middle of nowhere.
Hello everyone,
I’m Kris. I live in the Bay Area of California. I’ve been lurking the OB scene here for years now. 3 weeks ago I bought a 2018 4Runner (car I wanted since I was 8 years old) so I decided I’d finally stop lurking and actually sign up.
I have no experience but I grew up camping a ton and have spent years riding all over California and Mexico camping from my motorcycle. Not planning on going full hard core Overlander but I am really looking forward to learning new stuff, making some memories camping with my family and meeting good people.

Hey there Eliyahu YHWH - welcome to OB, a fast growing, widely dispersed, and very diverse group of folk.
I get down through your part of OK a couple times a year, usually, and would be happy to help you shed the stagnant feeling, even if just getting together over coffee. Love to see your shop, too, as I always enjoy seeing what other people do in setting up and using a shop.
Pull up a chair and make yourself to home; there's a lot here of varying interest and quality to wade through!
