Hello everyone,
After watching the videos for over a year now, I finally took the plunge and bought my first overlanding rig: Nissan Titan SE Crew Cab 4x4!
I’ve already gone on a couple of adventures with the family, but I’m looking forward to go on a lot more!
Welcome to OB! Overlanding is a great family activity.

The Trailhawk is an awesome vehicle, we have one in our club and it goes just about anywhere we do in the Sierras.

Just got all of my stuff in the mail from OB. WOW! The professionalism in the shipping was top notch. It felt amazing opening the package up and felt even better putting the emblem on my Jeep. Member No. 16328.

Hey Everyone! I just joined a few days ago, but I've been an avid offroader, camper all my life. I've been busy being a dad for the last 17 years and now that I'm in my 40's, my kids need less of my money, and have a little more cash in my pocket, I've decided to dive back into offroad. Low and behold what used to do (driving into the middle of nowhere and camping) is now a thing called overland, with all sorts of fancy accessories and cool stuff I want on my rigs. I am eager to outfit two of my three rigs for some adventure. I have a 2016 F150 4x4 with factory locker in the rear that's my daily driver. I'm about to install a mild BDS lift and 35" tires and am trying to figure out how far I want to go with it since it is my primary. I know I'll be adding offroad bumpers, cargo drawers and a bed rack eventually.

D8503054-F1FC-46BB-BCB7-0BFE3AA0F0EE.JPG

I plan to make my OJ era "Beater Bronco" my primary "overlanding" rig. I'm rebuilding my diffs with 488 gears and LSD front and rear, doing a 4" lift and 35" tires. I already installed an offroad rear bumper (to replace the stock bumper I destroyed offroad!) and am adding a spare tire carrier and storage drawers in the back. I have an NP205 transfer case I plan to upgrade/rebuild and eventually pair it up with an NP203 with a doubler and triple stick kit. Anyway, as you can see: I really enjoy trail rides and offroad, I also enjoy camping and hiking and hope to get an RTT on the Bronco and other gear eventually. I've never outfitted a vehicle for overland and am hoping to learn a bunch here and make some friends in the Reno/NorCal area to do some adventuring.

I also have a 1968 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser I'm in the middle of restoring (mod). It is sucking up a lot of resources, but I'll be diverting some funds the Bronco's way latter this winter and spring.

Welcome to OB from another 4Runner owner. Look forward to seeing how you build out your rig. When you get a chance hop on over to the 4Runner Owners registry thread.

Hi everyone!
Name's Nate, I'm from the Denver, Colorado area. Have driven most of the interstates of the country. So I guess I have a lot of overlanding experience? But an intermediate to the world of off-road overlanding.
Current rig is my 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road. I've been slowly modifying it with sliders and bed-rack and other modifications.
I've been looking at this group for some time and am glad to have joined now.
See you on the trail!
