Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Kent R]

Hey everybody,

My name is Andrew and I’m out of Los Angeles, CA. Originally raised in Portland, OR the outdoors life has always been an ever present inspiration for me. However, living 10 years in LA seems to have diminished the presence of nature, adventure, and the natural world in my daily life. I’ve made a pledge to myself to get back out there and thus got myself into a 2017 Ram Rebel and an AT Overland Habitat. Can’t wait to join the community and meet other like minded adventurers.

My build will be focused on the camping life first and then down the road pushing towards performance modifications of the vehicle as a new diesel Ram Rebel is more ideal for my goals. Looking forward to meeting everybody I can.

I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Phillip, I live in Boone, NC.
I've been overlanding for a while. It all started when I was a rock climber.

If you know any good shops in my area please let me know.
I've attached a few photos of my last outing.

Agreed, I just want to get out. Not done any real off-roading except on the farm I hunt on. Would like to find some good trails close to KC for short day trips.

Wow, Gabe and Kent were all over your post like ducks on a june bug.
And, neither of them commented on the nice picture of the taco. I like the color.

Welcome to OB.
You're a few hours south of me, but we are trying to get a spring trip on the calendar for the spring down near Kennewick.
Love to have you join the conference call. 3rd Sundays at 7:30 Pacific time.
I've been known to talk overlanding any time if that time doesn't work, or if you don't want to wait another month.

Hi,

Merv from Brisbane, Australia
Driving: 1993 1HZ 80 Series Land Cruiser Dual locked and set up for some great family touring - Have owned her since 2002, don't think I will ever get rid of my 80 Series.
Experience: Outback Trips (2005 and 2018 - both month-long trips), Gulf Country 2004, various 4WDing parks around the place. Can pretty much take on most tracks, however, still, need some experience.

Here she is with my camping trailer

Hello overlanders,
My name is Dave, I'm from Western Australia, my rig is a 2012 Volkswagen Amarok with a lot of mods, I have owned it since new and the first time it went off road was the day I picked it up from the dealership.
Prior to that I have had 2 Toyota Hiluxes, and a 120 series Toyota Prado.
All of my off road driving has been done here in Australia, plenty of sand, rock and mud.

Welcome !

Hey all,
I'm John and presently reside in Sarasota, FL but my family and I are relocating to CO in the near future. I've been outdoorsy for a number of years but have only become interested in overlanding in the last six or eight or so. I recently purchased a new Ford Ranger 4x4 and will be building it out slowly over time.

Welcome to OB. What is bringing you to CO? @Neal A. Tew is the member rep in CO when you get there.
