Hello and welcome!
I'm in Washington. Not sure of any overland rigs that you can rent. I'd Google it! ,

Used to go camping and fishing out of my S-10 and Suburban, but it's been a couple decades since
doing any overlanding or camping. Just getting back into it, but I feel like boot!

Welcome to OB and the wonderful world of Retirement. My wife and I retired 6ish years ago in VA and sold all and moved west. Landed in Reno NV and have not been disappointed. When you get out this way, make sure you look us up the Reno Overlanding group. If we have a run or overnighter, feel free to join us.

Welcome Clay and Clara to the OB community. Sounds like you've got some good rigs to get out and explore in so go for it. Posts some pictures sometime of one of your adventures, we'd love to see them.

Welcome from NE Oklahoma Clay and Sara!
Hello!
I am looking forward to joining this community! I am located in Wyoming and have lived here my whole life. I have a lot of experience in the outdoors, but none in the specific task of "overlanding". I have wheeled a fair amount, and camped/fished/hunted plenty. I have mostly explored the state by motorcycle. My current truck is a 1983 GMC K2500, though I own a couple other 4x4's also. None of them will be the basis of my build, my current plan is to probably acquire a 1973-1979 GMC Jimmy or Suburban and build it out. I have been hording parts for a while with the intent of building a wheeler, I just hadn't settled on it's exact purpose until now. My intent is to build a capable trail rig, outfitted with all the amenities for overlanding comfortably. Hopefully I can convince the wife to come along as well, though she is rather attached to the toy hauler. Thanks.

Hi Andy. I like the pic of your truck partly because my rig is a 88 Silverado 2500 with a shell on the back. i would definitely encourage you to join OB and be sure and post pics when you start your build.
Thanks, I am a squarebody addict, my dad bought this '83 used when I was in junior high and it was my high school ride. I am thinking it may end up more of a pre-runner in the end. Looking forward to doing some research here and getting some ideas and inspiration.
Hey all,
Recently joined and looking forward to meeting folks in my area and getting out on the trails.
Take care,
Mike
