Hello Everyone! My name is Michael, I own a 2006 LR3 outside of Atlanta, GA, and I'm a complete newbie to Overlanding!
I've dreamt of Overlanding ever since I was a wee lad, but never knew what it was called. The wife and I used to camp and backpack a lot before the kids where born, and now that they are getting older (almost 5 and 9), it's time to spend A LOT more time outdoors. I intended on building another track car (3 years in SCCA solo w/ Honda CRX, 1 year getting some hours in NASA but never competed w/ BMW E30. A lifelong obsession with speed and cars), but decided a vehicle more suited for the outdoors would be a lot more fun for the family. The LR3 is stock, with the exception of A/T tires, and will remain so until winter, as maintenance is key to these cars. Love the car, and have lots of plans in the future. I'm a bit of a creeper on forums and have already read hundreds of posts to narrow down gear and other ideas. I look forward to eventually meeting some of you out on the trails in the future!
