How’s it going?!

I’m new to the whole overlanding thing and definitely want to get more into it. I currently drive a Chevy Silverado 1500 LT with a truck bed tent. Goal is to buy a 4x4 truck in the next year or two. I’m out of Long Beach, California and my experience is pretty much novice

Hi All,

In a newbie from Elk Grove, CA (Sacramento) and am very interested in overlanding. I’ve already started with my 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500hd with an ARE camper shell.

After I put my build together my son and I slept in the truck in front of our house to try it out. Now I’d like to do it again this time with a nice scenery. See pics.

Hey OB Fam,

1) I like gear, and gadgets, and researching everything. I feel like projects go something like research, design, build, redesign, execute, then enjoy. I need to be better at the last part of actually getting out and using my rig.
2) Denver, CO
3) 2002 Ford Excursion 7.3PSD in what my friends call “retirement red” color. Previous builds, ‘67 FJ40, ‘89 FJ62, ‘71 CJ5.
4) Moderate build and wheelin’ exp but newer to overlanding for overnights. A2D3EDAE-D164-43FD-A243-6508D4044992.jpeg

New Member Intro. I'm Kevin and live in Tampa right now.
I've been using Toyota's for getaways for a while. '89 pickup, '83 pickup, 2x'94 4Runners, '03 DCSB, '06 DCSB (current).
Use the rig to get out to places and adventure. I've been following OB on youtube for several years but the semi recent videos with Chris MD are what really added the value and got me to join up. Both my wife (MD) and myself (former firefighter/EMT) really appreciate Chris's no non-sense, no-bs approach to practical, applicable field medicine.
Anywho, Hey there.

Hello everyone.
I'm just getting started and I'm actually looking for an overlanding trailer with RTT ($10,000 and under) which is why I'm joining. So if anyone has any leads or you wanna get some cash for your trailer, drop me a line.
I'm in NM in the 4 corners area and willing to meet anyone within a 14 hour drive for a trailer.
I have a 2018 Tacoma Off Road with a Snugtop shell, and hope to do some suspension and tire upgrades in a year or 2 to raise it up a few inches and get a little more clearance.
Hers a few pics of the truck now.
Thanks.

Hi I am Kyle. I have some experience overlanding but I have mostly done a lot of back packing. I have done quite a bit of off roading but never put too much effort into properly setting my truck up to be convenient when it came to long trips where I will be setting up camp almost daily.
