Welcome to Overland Bound!Hi,
This is my 95 Land Rover Discovery. All mods have been done by myself. I try to manufacture as many of them as I can as opposed to kits. She has never had anyone but me turn a wrench on her and she has 300,000 miles on her original 3.9 V8. I have plans to do a major build on her over the next year and a half. I came across a build thread on this site: "Nanuuq" my Land Rover Discovery 2, ...forever a project!" which is why I joined. The forum also seems better developed than most of the LR forums I belong to, from a technical perspective.
I am in East Texas but have offices in Dallas, Houston, Boston, Chicago, and Connecticut. So I move around the country quite a bit. Up until this year, she has been my daily driver, but with the build upgrades, I have planned I have taken her off the road for everyday driving. (For now)
Best,
Tony

Good morning y'all! I was a lurker here for a while, then my wonderful wife gifted me an OB membership, so lurk no more! I grew up just south of the blue ridge mountains in northern SC. Spent quite a bit of time backpacking, mountain biking, and motorcycling in that area. We moved to the southwest from the southeast a few years ago and have fallen in love with the geography here and are eager to explore it. I'm no stranger to the outdoors, but relatively new to overlanding and looking forward to being an active member of the community. I'm currently finishing my "track day/beauty queen turned overlanding rig" WRX wagon build (hopefully she'll be trail ready by summer!)

I know I already introduced myself but want to add some more information based on the recommendations of the first post in this thread.
1) Picture! Not the best picture but attached!
2) Location: NW Florida, Fort Walton Beach Area
3) Rig: 2011 Ford F-150 FX4 Supercrew, 2-3 lift, 33" Duratrac tires, Diamondback bed cover I'm currently working on a plan to support a roof top tent!
4) Overlanding Experience: I'd say I'm somewhere between a Novice and Experienced. I use my truck to fish and hunt with and cruise the Eglin Reservation. I've slept in the cab while hunting and have a bed tent for camping that I plan to upgrade to a RTT once I complete the mount on top of my Diamondback cover to hold the RTT. I'll post before and after pics in the build section once I get started here soon.
Again, glad to be here and look forward to learning more about the Overland life and helping others where I can!
