Gordon Slaton
Fairfax County, Virginia
2015 Silverado 1500 w/ Z71 off road package
Wife and one kid left at home - helpfully, the kid is an Eagle Scout, registered EMT and works at an auto repair shop, so we should at least survive the first couple of trips.


I haven't spent that much time as I should outdoors as an adult, but grew up camping and backpacking in the Sierras in California.

Hello Gordon, welcome to the OB community.

Hey everyone,

Rich from New Hampshire here. I spend years in the Olympic mountains and Capital State forest of the PNW while in the Army. Overlanding is in my blood and have been at it for years at various levels. Currently, I'm building up a 2017 Toyota Tundra for a full size overland rig. My wife and I also have a 2017 4Runner that she uses as her daily driver, not too much work done to it at this point.
This is a great community and I look forward to interacting and meeting as many of you as I can. Be safe!

Hey everyone!

New member from Idaho. Just purchased a 2005 LR3 with the HD package to build it into a overlanding rig.

I have traveled all over southern Idaho on various trails but mainly I haunt the Big Desert.

Glad to be here and hope to cross paths someday with a few adventurers.

Hello Harley, welcome to the OB community.

Hello everyone! New guy joining from Cincinnati OH. Been lurking here for almost a year and officially joined as a member today. New to overlanding and about a month ago I bought a 2019 Ford Ranger to get started with. Looking forward to learning and building out my first rig.

For introduction:
My ride is a 2010 BMW R1200GS Adventure
Experience: Started off road on dirt bikes as a kid and later had an 1989 Jeep Wrangler that I used along the coast of Texas and in OK. The GSA has given me the opportunity to explore the BDRs and the area around property we have outside of Talahina OK.
I recently found the maps to the Texas Epic Adventure Trail and am interested in riding sections of that this fall.
Location: Plano, TX

[Kinginthewoods]

Thanks for the welcome!
I live in South Carolina and have been overlanding most of my life and have experience with an assortment of vehicles. Just purchased a new Subaru Croostrek. It replaced the full size Bronco I had. It will now begin the transformation for my travels (lift, tires, cargo box, winch etc.) and hopefully we will meet on the trail!

[OscarMk]

Hello all!

Location: Houston, TX
Rig: 2014 JKU
Experience: Novice

The idea of a long road trip, exploring new places, and getting away from my regular surroundings appeals to me. At the same time, I am a planner. Planning requires me to educate myself about where I will be going and what I might encounter. This site and the forums seem like the perfect place to inspire me on where to go while at the same time educate me on where I am going.

 

[Prerunner1982]

Hello all!

My name is Greg and I live in Naples, FL.

I have an adventure rig named Eleanor. She is a 1996 Land Rover Discovery 5spd.

I am an experienced off-road enthusiast BUT far from expert...always learning from others.

Excited to connect with like minded individuals!! View attachment 164074

Wow, nice rig! It is a 3.9 V8 then, right?
