Howdy folks!

Rig/Picture: 2018 Nissan Titan Pro 4x, with some basic outfitting (picture is a shot on the shelf of the Badlands with my son in mid blink)
Location: Middletown, CT (New England/ Northeast Area)
Overlanding Experience: Novice, but have done a lot camping (a couple cross country trips with some off road experience). Day trips and some overnighting, but the rig is new.

So this last year, I had an epiphany about adventure and pushing myself. I sold my tuned Audi on a whim, built a basic overlanding rig and drove across the country (Connecticut to Washington and back) with my son. Very boring technical job at a University in the area and far too many hours hunched over code and storing weight for a future WALL-E play. I bought the truck to have these great experiential adventures that I had growing up and to share those with my family.

Looking forward to meeting folks in the area, learning and exploring.

Hello from Salem, MA! Looking for easy trails to learn on anywhere in New England. Also, meetups and group rides and events and things. New to everything, but very excited about it all. Cheers.

2019 4Runner TRD Pro (which I'd post a photo of, but it's currently at Mainline Overland in NH, getting several mods :)

Welcome to OB and the East Region! Spring is coming and events/meetups will start filling the calendar. If you have any questions just ask. Can't wait to see what Mainline does to your Tacoma!

Hello from Virginia! I've been overland bound, albeit intermittently, for almost 40 years now, so I was practically giddy when I found this site today! My parents got me hooked on road trips almost a half century ago thanks to our living on the East Coast (USA) with most of our family in Southern California. Back then I'd look at the trails and tracks leading up and away from the highway and I'd dream of returning one day to explore them. In my 20s I bought a Jeep and started doing just that. I'm now on my 5th "Adventure Vehicle" and have a checklist of "overlandy" enhancements I'd like to make as time and finances permit! It's so cool to have stumbled upon a group of like-minded folks!

"overlandy enhancements", I really like that! I'm gonna use that because I am jsut starting my own overlandy enhancement lists for my rig. I just recently found this site too, and have already learned loads!

hello all, I am Jason. i currently drive a 2012 Ford Raptor. And as for experience, i spend a lot of time up in the hills hunting and fishing, id say i am an avid outdoorsman. but as for overland its relatively new to me, i haven't done a trip specifically for overland. My trips are mostly day trips but i am hoping to change all that soon.

Hello all!
My name is Nathan and I live in Southeastern Virginia. I currently have a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and a 1990 Wrangler YJ, but the Sierra will be the one I use more. Always been an outdoor person and look forward to building my truck for more serious terrain. View attachment 77923

Roof rack....please give details.

Size dims
How many rack to roof feet attachments
How it attaches.....screw...bolt...rivit?
Brand
Price
Etc.......

How do you like it's quality....paint/powder coating

Accessory gear and brackets

Would you do anything different, if starting over? I have a extra cab, so I have a little less room to work with.

PS. Can you remove and replace it with reasonable help, in case it became necessary?

Hey Everyone, Iam new to this style of travel. But not new to travel overall. Originally from Florida, lived in Europe and been to all 50 states and all Canadian provinces, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Now in the Great-lakes area. I do travel around a bit fishing. But turning my focus on seeing more of the out of the way places here in the US. Me and the wife are those two nuts. That think jumping in the truck and driving for a day just to see something we’ve never seen or experienced before for a couple of hours is perfectly normal. So we’ve been camping hikers style for sometime. And realizing we can cover more ground. And see more by vehicle. So for now this 2017 Frontier is going to go through a transformation. Wish me luck. And ideas are more than appreciated.

Bought my 2014 Xterra used back in 2016 and the first week we were scratching her up in Uwharrie National Forrest. Since then we have taken her all over and upgraded a few things. Custom bumper, 33" Duratracs, armored the bottom, rock sliders, ARB rear locker, 10lb winch up front, and suspension upgrades. Have a RTT but haven't used it yet.

Hope to see you all out there having fun.
