Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Exactly what @Steve said. To us, "overlanding" is vehicle dependent travel. Nothing more. Now, if @Luis Merlo wanted to take his Kia up the Rubicon, OB members would have plenty to say about it, for good reasons. That's because we help each other! For us, the trip defines the requirements. You are absolutely welcome!

As @NorCalCrisp started, there are a lot of us here who are adventurers similar to you rather than rock climbers and serious off-roaders. A lot of us would fit into the "softroader" category. We've got Kia Soul's with mild lifts and racks, my old Subaru was nearly stock, and we have a mildly modified Volvo wagon. There are a lot of adventures to be found down gravel roads that almost any vehicle could traverse. @Michael's #1 rule here is that it doesn't matter what you drive, as long as you are out there exploring. You'll fit in perfect here!

BTW, a 4WD Sprinter is on my wish list, and if we end up at OTG2 together, I'm gonna follow you around like a puppy, asking questions. :)

I suppose I can introduce myself to the community. My name is Dana-Anthony. I'm from Regina , Saskatchewan Canada. Yes it gets cold here, really cold. My current overland project vehicle is a '97 Jeep Cherokee se (base of base model, Iam lucky to have a clock) I bought the vehicle stock and have slowly been modifying things to make it more capable and efficient on and off the beaten path as I also drive this daily my modifications have to be well thought out. I am new to overlanding, I have experienced a few short trips but nothing more than a long weekend at this point. I hope to meet some good people here and learn as much as I can.

Hello guys and gals! My name is Jose and I'm from Tavares, Fl. also I'm a novice to this scene, and looking forward to getting to know the members and pick their brains on ideas and advice. Here's a little bit about me, I'm an Elevator Inspector, married, two boys 9 and 6 and we've always been a family of the outdoors and want to keep it going for the kids. I use to have a 92 Jeep YJ back in the day and just recently purchased a 2016 JKU-Rubicon and really excited about it. My old Jeep use to have a 4" lift with 35s and use to use it for what ever I could put it through lol. Now I'm really interested in using the Rubicon more for trails, camping, and just exploring nature with the family. Here's a pic of Jeep right now it's all stock except for the front bumper and a winch. I'm going to be upgrading little by little cause I have a lot of ideas of what I want and hope I can get advice to see if I'm going on the right track here to make it a capable rig for what ever I get into.

My passion is trail riding with some more advanced sections. I also love to fish from a kayak and for a long time I carried a kayak on top of my lifted jeep everywhere I went. Looking forward to seeing some nice cool rigs here.

How much air does the bumper hold?

I am not sure exact measurements, but I would estimate it is about an 8 gallon tank. A buddy of mine had some 1/2" thick rectangular tubing at his house. I got it, welded the ends, soap sud tested it for leaks and called it good. I probably wouldn't go more that 200 psi in it at any given time.

Welcome! I love these green FJ's! I'm trying to convince my wife to get this color, but she's all about the blue!
