Nice looking rig. Did you install the roof rack yourself? How well does the Smittybilt tent fit on it?

Excellent, welcome! Keep us posted on the drawer system build out, that's next on my list after an upgrade to a dual battery system.

Hi all

Not new to the Outdoors and Exploration but new to vehicle dependents. Preeping, Research, Design, Fabercation, Machanics, Ingenuity, Self Sufficient, and Process Knowledge are my strong suits.
Overlanding for me took its initial spark after meeting someone that had a lot of the same traits as me. We bounced life experiences back and forward and became good friends and started building our vehicles.
Thanks everyone look forward to the threads.

Thanks for the advice Dave. Overlanding is a new hobby for me, and I can’t wait to get out there.
Hello! Nice set up. Is that an AC unit I see under your rig in the first image? If so, how are you powering it?
Hi Rod! I love Tasmania. I got a chance to check out the area around the Southwest National Park and Eaglehawk Neck during a port-o-call in Hobart on the USS Carl Vinson in the late 90's. Wouldn't mind going back either!

Hello Everybody,
Craig from Burlingame, California.
Recently retired and ready for new adventures.
I've driven dirt roads for many years to go car camping and hiking, but just "upgraded" to a rig that's more capable off road: a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk.
Just returned from a fantastic solo maiden voyage on Black Rock Road in the Sierras, near Wishon Reservoir.
I'm interested to join others in off-road adventures.

Hi Overland Bound,
My name is Matt and I live in Long Beach.
Rig: 1987 Suzuki Samurai Tintop
Background: Novice in 4x4 driving, but frequent camper.
I’ve been an avid follower of the overlanding scene for several years now. My main passion is bouldering so this budget build’s POU (philosophy of use) was to enable me to camp on BLM land after a climbing sesh in Joshua Tree.
