Hey everyone! Super newbie here located in Central VA. I just bought my 2018 JKU a couple of days ago. She's stock right now- I'm trying to figure out the best way to get my feet wet before making many modifications (any and all insight is welcome- I'm very green and eager to learn). Mostly excited to do some weekend adventuring/camping with the pup.

Happy to be here!

[Merritt]

Hello all! My name is Merritt. I'm in Nashville, TN, and I'm so excited to have found this community here.

I just got my first ever truck (2020 Tacoma OR) and have no real experience overlanding YET. :) The "rig" status of it is currently waiting on things to arrive and staring at my rotopax, recovery tracks, bubba rope, light bars, etc all staring at me here in my home office!

I've always been an outdoorsman - hunting, hiking, camping, etc; and always wanted to off road, so here we are with the best of both worlds.

So happy to have found Michael's YT channel- I'm soaking it all up. Really appreciate what you guys are doing here, and hope to be involved soon.

Hi Everybody -

Like Merritt, I am from Nashville.

Just obtained a 2016 Wrangler Unlimited yesterday, which I will slowly begin modding. I have zero overlanding experience at the moment, but am looking forward to getting started and learning.

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for coalescing into this massive group who share the same interests, love and passion for the great outdoors, it is frankly a relief that I have found you and that I’m now a part of this group.

I am at heart always been connected to nature and have spent the last 10 years traveling around the world chasing its finite beauty. I always thought that I could enjoy my country in bits here and there, but with this COVID pandemic, I have come to realize that it is time to enjoy all that I can of our country.

I hope that in the process of my own explorations I can teach and learn from this community and vow to earn my defender badge.

I’m out of the Glendale area and would be more than glad to join a new or existing groups in the area for casual trips. Please do not hesitate to reach out.

I’m am also a photographer by hobby and a small business owner offering immigration services. If there anything I can do for anyone in this areas, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you.

 

[Kevin L]

Hi everyone,

My name is Kevin and I'm from the Bay Area (California)

I've been lurking the forums for a while and decided to take the plunge with the OB Membership.

I have a 2011 Mag Grey 4Runner, mostly stock except for some 3in spacers.

I would say I'm a novice to overlanding, but just enjoy being outdoors and hoping to pass it on to my son with his first real camping trip this year.

Thanks for the welcome everyone

 

[PapaDave]

Hello Overland People!
Names Rob, living in SF for 13 years now. Nolanomad is my handle, Og from New Orleans, but lived in Brooklyn and Alaska.
Just recently got into Overlanding since a pretty gnarly motorcycle accident.
Bought an affordable 2002 LX470 for the slow but consistent build. Just the basics at the moment.
I'm a total newbie but eager to explore!
Michael's videos have been a big push for me to get off the pavement and into the Adventure! Respect.

Hey Robb

Glad you found your way here, though I’m sure the motorchcle accident was probably pretty painful. I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Pleasanton CA there is a meet up on the second Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active. The Tri-Valley (Pleasanton) group has number of plans already laid out for June through November. Our next meet up will be June 14th, HOPEFULLY in person! But the Zoom meetings have been good as well.
