Hi, New to group, and I look forward to networking with some great people. Looks like there is tons of good info here!
Location: Maui, Hawaii
Current Vehicle: 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport
Overland Experience: Novice
Rooftop Tent: Tuffstuff Delta and soon adding iKamper SKYCAMP 2.0
Why Overlanding?: Exploring Hawaii off the typical tourist trail is more my style. I love to be out in nature in Hawaii. the island features so many microclimates form the obvious warm beaches to very cold at 10,000 feet of the summit.

Hello everyone,

Fishiam here. Recently purchased a 1994 Land Cruiser. I live in San Diego and have just started my overlanding life. I do a bit of astrophotography and thought overlanding would be a great way to get away from the city lights. I look forward to meeting some new friends.

Howdy All -

Matt in Carlsbad, CA, here. This is my 2016 JK Rubicon. I've been adding bits to it as I go along. A 2.5" Rubicon Express lift and 4.56 gears are the most significant changes.
New to Overlanding, although I've done good bit of camping and general off-highway stuff. The Mrs. and I went on a 4 day trip to Death Valley with Modern Jeep Adventures in early March. Im hooked. 8-D

Name is Brent and I've been interested in overlanding for a long time. I started with a Chevy Trailblazer, Ford Excursion, and now a Subaru Outback. No epic trips yet, but always planning the next outing.

Currently exploring the Land Between the Lakes Area in Western Kentucky.

The outback is a 2020 Onyx XT that is proving to be very fun and capable. Build out is fresh since it's only got 3,000 miles on it. So, I'm in a research phase and learning what gear to keep, change, and add to make this rig reliable for my family adventures.

I've not traveled extensively, but am fairly experienced offroad.

Howdy all! My name is Devin I am a carpenter from the Burlington, Vermont area just getting into overlanding over the last year or so. I have been building out my 2002 Tacoma double cab named 'Rubby' and am stoked to get on the (off)road to meet some new folks this summer once the global social climate relaxes a bit. Heres a larger version of the avatar photo, more to come on the drawer systems I built for the old girl.

Hello everyone i recently joined.. We are looking in a trailer rig that can support 2 for full time travel. We don't want to be in camp grounds but very much out in the wild. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Wanting to stay with off-road types.

As many as I’ve looked at I fell in love with the Turtleback kind Patriot. I’ve watched so many videos. I would say it all depends on the functionality you want and price range. There are some amazing off road trailers! My best recommendation is start watching the videos of the various companies. YouTube also compares a lot of various styles and gives pros and cons to each.

Greetings from South Florida!
completely new to overlanding; have done car camping a bit but looking to take my escape the next step round these parts.

don’t really have pictures of it except after it got stolen and crashed. Future plans: AT tired and HR spring lift just to help get around until I’ve saved enough for a Trailhawk Cherokee with tow package for the dirt bike.

[Wrench Love]

Hi y’all
My name is Wrench Love I’m in the Pacific Northwest (Portland, Or). New to the whole Overland thing though I’ve been using my rigs to explore and disperse camp for years.
I’m currently building my 2003 Subaru Outback to be my go rig for trail runs and camping. Hopefully I will get lots of ideas within this group. Looking forward to meeting some of you that are in my area.
Thanks
Wrench
