Hey Ryan! Oregon definitely has it going on for Overlanders. Great trail systems you've got up there! Oregonyotas looks like a cool page. Of course, seeing as how it's a closed group, and I drive a Jeep, I'll have to take your word for it ;-) Welcome!!!

They can still be individual..

Welcome Sean! Let me know if you want to do any exploring in the Sierras. I'm on your way (Sacramento :-)

and personalized replies.

Seeing as how they were individual, and personalized replies, I'm not sure grouping them together would be appropriate. Unless I'm not understanding your comment.

Multi quotes accomplish the same thing and they save space. Just a suggestion.

Thanks! Assuming you are referring to the image with the power line in the background, no it is not, I have never been there. That image is of one of the off chutes at Cleghorn road. The others are of the Sierras and Angeles forest

Thanks! I just did Powerline Rd (near Frazier Park) a couple weeks ago, and it looks just like that!

Copy that! Thanks for the tip. I didn't know you could do that, because I haven't seen anyone else doing it, but it makes sense.

Hello, we are new to this forum and new to 4x4 overloading.
From Gresham, OR
2016 4Runner TRD Pro (Stock)
Rank Novice
We have used Subaru Outbacks from 1996 and have a 2010 model that we have taken to many a 4x4 local. We learned the value of a high clearance vehicle when we were denied a permit to South Coyote Buttes because we were in the Outback. We just spent 13 nights with the 4Runner and an Alu-Cab Expedition RTT which is by far superior to sleeping in the back of the Outback! It's a game changer and we look forward to learning the finer points of 4x4 overloading.

This may have been a typo, but "4X4 overloading" is definitely what we should call it!!!

Welcome to Overloading Bound!!! ;-)

Hi All! My name is Bill and looking to getting into overlanding. Have been off-roading for years and definitely into branching out on longer expeditions.

Current Rig - 2017 Jeep JKU Rubicon Hard Rock - mods are starting already...
Past Rigs - (3) other JKU's and (1) TJ Wrangler as well as a LR Disco and LR LR3.

Relocated back to East Coast outside Philadelphia after 8 years in Colorado. Looking forward to some great trips along the east coast where wheeling is legal. If anyone knows of any great spots, please let me know!

Thanks!

Welcome from a fellow Pennsyltucky member. As far as getting the tires dirty on your Jeep goes here are a couple great options. Rausch Creek and AOAA. The Pine Barrens in NJ are closer to your home but I haven't been there yet.

Hey there!
I'm Chris and this is my 05 Xterra 6MT that I have had for just over a year. Prior to this I had no experience with overlanding or any vehicle based camp. I am pretty experienced when it comes to the outdoors, I hike, camp, and climb, so getting out there and refining my rig has been a blast. As for the X it has truly become my dream rig, very well thought out and very very capable stock (with proper tires, my 2wd has surprised me and others with what it can do).

hope to meet some of ya in the real world!

Welcome to the group Chris,

Hello everyone! I'm R.J. and here are the particulars.

Area: Birmingham, Alabama

Vehicle: 1986 Ford Bronco.

Experience: I've only been over landing now for a little over a year.

Background: Almost my entire life I've been into camping, hiking and backpacking. Also, I've been into off-roading for about 20 years now. I've got a big built Jeep but just wanted something smaller for easier trails and some camping. So I traded my old 63 Impala for the Bronco.
The Bronco looks rough(I plan to keep it that way), but everything has been gone through and works like it is suppose to. I'm trying to only spend money on the Bronco that will make it go farther down the trail or more comfortable for camping. So far I've only added a locker to the rear axle and put 35" mud tires under it.

Welcome to the group R.J., good looking Bronco.

I know it seems like forever since I suggested it... but try using multi quotes. You just filled an entire page with posts when you could have accomplished the same in only one.

Experience: mostly just off-roading on trails. Taking my first true Overlanding trip in March with the wife. Driving from Northern VA to Utah in the Grand Cherokee.

A big welcome to you, Memphis. See you out there one of these days!
