Hello everyone!

My name is John K., and I just joined up! My family and I were able to snag a new jeep gladiator about a month ago, and the overland build has started to (slowly) take shape. We're in Pasadena, Ca., and are really looking forward to overlanding up the 395 corridor as well as Nevada, Utah, Arizona....and well, really anywhere we can get away to!
I'm a welder/fabricator by trade, so I plan on building most of my own parts and pieces for the gladiator. I'll be sure to post on these projects as they start up!

I want to thank this community for, in the first place, existing. And secondly for helping to make this type of adventuring more accessible.

Best,
John K.

Hello John, welcome to the OB community.

My current rig is a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO. Located here in South Georgia. I'm a complete novice to overlanding but have always enjoyed the outdoors and the idea of being able to enjoy it from my own vehicle. Just recently started to do mods and am open to any and all tips. Thank you for welcoming me into your family!

Hello Friends, I guess it's my turn.
Phillip from French Settlement Louisiana
For the most part, we have our adventures in a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon but also have a 2002 Ford Excursion that we pile in.
As far as experience, well, I have been wheeling for almost 30 years. Helped start our local 4x4 club 26 years ago, trail guided for Jeep Jamboree, Owner of Searchers 4wd supply and outfitters for 16 years, built thousands of vehicles, and have been involved in just about every type of wheeling from local trail rides, rock races, and overland races and now really love gearing up and traveling with my family of 7 to remote places. Looking forward to new adventures.

Here goes...
My name is Tony, and I am very new to “Overlanding” but not new to the outdoors at all. I am a Colorado Native and have been 4wheeling and camping since I was 14 with my parents, so maybe I just did not know I was overlanding. I Have a 04 F350 Super Duty with rooftop tent, and trailer a 05 Jeep TJ sometimes, or just take the Jeep on adventures others... just depends! I hope to share my adventures and experiences I have had and will have with others!

wow, incredible picture

Hey yall, my name is Brian. I just moved to Raleigh/Durham, NC from East Tennessee for work. I am an aircraft mechanic. I drive a 1969 Jeepster Commando and have slowly been updating the drivetrain and drivability. I love the outdoors and have already camped, and panned for gold in Uwharrie National Forest. Most of my adventures have been in the smokies from Elizabethton, TN to Maryville,TN. I love the coast and am planning to go out there here in the next couple weeks. Anyways, thank you for having me and look forward to getting to know you. B

Hi folks.
I'm Andy,
I live in the west Midlands UK.
I have a 1997 Land Rover Discovery 1 300tdi auto. I've spent the last 2years rebuilding and repairing her from a rusty shell.
I've built all of the modifications myself, including building my own roof top tent.
She's now almost ready to start clocking some proper miles and I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
