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.
Hello Andy, welcome to the OB community. Would love to see some pictures of your rig.

Hello All,

I'm considered on a beginner level of overlanding, have made 1 day trips to easy trails, however We (me and wife) want to learn as much and fast as possible to be on the road and connect with nature.

I hope to transform my rig on a capable vehicle to visit the most amazing places!

Location: San Jose, CA
Rig: 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU Sport
Experience: Novice (please forgive my Jeep tires lol)

wow, incredible picture
Thanks. I assume you are speaking of the Jeep pic. that was taken on the ledge drop on Black Bear pass in Ouray, Co. This was a bucket list trail for me, and that picture is duplicating the one I found everywhere online when researching that trail. The reason it was added to my bucket list. I have now completed the trail twice, and plan to do it again this fall.

24K Tacoma here! We live in Paso Robles CA and drive a 1999 ext cab long bed 4cyl gold tacoma with a Go Fast CamperIMG-9631.jpg


We enjoy going to places where not alot of traffic is and where we can escape reality. We have been off roading since we could drive (maybe even before) and enjoy laid back people who are up for an adventure. We do this mostly with our close friends and family.

Hope to see you out there,
Golden Goose

Hi, I'm Anthony. I'm an experienced camper but new to overlanding. My rig is a 2017 Outback. I've been slowly upgrading her for overlanding capabilities. Spent last week exploring northern Michigan trails and forest roads. Found some great camping locations that we will probably stay on some weekends this summer. Managed to hold my own against my friends wrangler.
