Hey all! I'm Doug, I live in coastal Georgia and my most current rig is a 2010 F150, modified with a modest lift, 34.5" tires, bed rack, underbody protection and bumper/winch. I'm not terribly new, having owned an outfitted Jeep TJ and an Xterra before that. Professionally, I'm a Wilderness Advanced EMT specializing in SAR and technical rescue. I'm excited to be here!

Hi Everyone! My name is Stacy and I’m from Sparks, Nevada. I’ve been overlanding most of my life but more as a passenger than a driver, so that makes me a beginner with my new Jeep. My daily driver is a 2018 Jeep Wrangler with a few fun mods. My husband, girls and I are out and about often so we are excited to meet up at some rally points.

Howdy. New member here. I bought a 2017 2-dr Jeep JK Sport last October and have been slowly modding it ever since. I was planning on easing into the overland scene by starting with Utah's parks this fall, but plans changed and we signed up for the Rubicon Trail with Jeepers Jamboree instead. The JK was had enough modifications to make it through with little difficulty, although more clearance would have been a big plus. Currently, the rig has a 2.5" Teraflex lift kit with Fox 2.0 Performance shocks. For protection, I've got Smittybilt and Barricade bumpers, rock sliders and Poison Spyder diff covers. I'm an automatic running 3.21 gearing with open diffs. (The BLD system worked miracles on the Rubicon!!!) I just consulted with my local 4x4 shop and am planning on installing 4.88 gearing with Eaton E-lockers front and rear, along with a truss welded onto the Dana 30 front axle. C-gussets, ball joints and LCA armor will accompany.

I live in the SF Bay Area- Livermore to be exact. Hoping to make new friends and find some terrific adventures out there!
