Hi everyone,

My name is Karl and I am a 4WD addict - there I admit it

I am new here and I live in Rockingham, Western Australia, Australia and I am heavily involved in 4WDing (or Overlanding as you guys refer to it) camping and photography.

I am also the President of the Four Wheel Drive Club of Western Australia - one of our state's biggest 4WD Clubs.

I drive a Nissan Navara D40 (Thai build) automatic turbo diesel and my campertrailer is a Pioneer Longreach.

I look forward to being a part of these forums and keep you guys informed of my adventures along the westcoast of Western Australia.

Thanks for having me.

Karl

My set up.

Hello from Illinois. Here is the overlanding truck I’m putting together for adventures around North America. It’s a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. I have a roof rack, sliders, and a high clearance bumper on their way. I was stationed in Alaska and camped out of a Toyota Highlander. After that, we camped in central Kansas. That hardly qualified as anything other than camping.

We have planned trips to Wisconsin, Colorado, Virginia, and Kentucky during the next 12 months. I’m looking forward to learning from everyone!

Good evening.

Short introduction.
Name is Dallas. Grew up hunting, camping, farming. Love outdoors. My wife and I raised our kid's camping and traveling to camp in cool places.

I do not have a "rig" as of right now. I used to have an 85 blazer built. Did almost everything in Moab.

Wife and I are empty nesters as of last month. We will be replacing her 05 Honda pilot with a 4 runner in the next year. The Pilot is an amazing vehicle. No low range.

Anyway, I look forward to progressing into the "Overland" community.

Hello everyone from Dallas Texas area, new to the forum and to the way of life. I'm in the process of making a few modifications to my two 100 series vehicles, i have a 1999 Landcruiser and a 2000 LX470. Not 100% sure which one (yet) will ultimately end up being my primary rig. I look forward to learning a great deal from the forum and I am already in the process of planning my first trip. I have tons of experience camping and have moderate to good mechanical skill (i do most of all the work on my cruisers). Thanks for the forum!

Greetings all... stumbled over here today searching for some rack accessories, had no idea! I'm kinda old school Toyota, so relatively new to the IG scene but will do my best to remember to poke over here also. My name is Tim, have had a number or rigs over the years the current ones are a 1982 FJ40, 1987 FJ60, and 2006 GX470- the Lexus is the overlanding rig for the moment, as I work on getting the 60 fit for duty. I'm also an active member and officer of the Rising Sun 4x4 Club in Colorado, and have been a TLCA member since 2003, been running/leading trails for 15 years now. I suspect you other Toyota guys will recognize me, yeah I'm the same guy.

I also own and operate my own business called Gamiviti... we offer a number of overlanding products, the main product line being our own design of roof racks for Toyota & Lexus.. I'm not here to promot, as I'm mainly here to learn and add value. Thanks for having me!

Thank you for the add. Semi-new to this overland thing, i am used to sleeping in my vehicles so theres a start.

Well i have an 03 chevy 2500HD crew cab short bed 6.0L 4L80E with 4:10s. I would to turn that into an overlander. But. Im debating on going on a cheaper route. There is a ZJ for sale down the road form my buddys house. Good shape, already lifted, has the 42re trans already in it.

I figure i can get the ZJ done for alot less money, and i cam wait to do my truck. What do yall think? Any imput is appreciated. View attachment 115510

Howdy from the desert South West. We are very much getting into overlanding and enjoying it. Our JKU is far from complete but has proven itself more than capable.

I traded my 2015 RAM Laramie 4 X 4 in May. I now drive a Passport Elite AWD in crystal black pearl.
Never been to NH but hear it’s nice.
No real experience here in over landing some camping but not much with my back issues. I have to sleep on a cot and pad off the ground. I guess I’m more of a car camper than anything, LOL! Plus, I love to cook and eat. Backpacking has truly escaped me in 45 years of nursing.

Hi all, excited to be a part of this group. Fairly new to the world of overlanding but have been building up my dream rig for the past two years. Moved to the Seattle, WA area a little over a year ago from Austin, TX and am really enjoying getting used to the new terrain out here on the PNW. I would love to learn more about overlanding safety, recovery, and driving best practices. I mostly travel alone, so I'm a little more timid than I would like to be but have still managed to put about 5k off road miles on my truck in the rear I've been out here.
