Hello everyone,
my name is Diana. I will hopefully be able to post a picture very soon. I pick up my 2016 wrangler tomorrow. I would say that I am a beginner/have a strong general knowledge. I am looking forward to learning more and sharing what I have found.
Welcome! please feel free to reach out. I will be hosting a Rigs and Coffee event in about a month down here in Louisville. Keep a lookout. Make sure you join the Midwest Overland Bound Facebook page. Lots of great info and folks on there.

Hi from OH-IO!! My two boys and I (7&10) have decided to start planning out first overland trip for next summer. We’re looking at doing a one week trip staying within surrounding states. We’re super excited, but have lots to learn and prepare for. I have a stock 2015 Wrangler Willys Wheeler that we have to get ready for the adventure. Glad to be part of the group!
I will be leading a trip on the THOR...here is a link to the 2019 doc about it ( so some of the dates will change) It runs through Indiana from South to North.....some 511 miles...it is 80% gravel and dirt roads. We visit 3 off road parks along the way.

Hit me up anytime

Hey! What's up Everyone?

I'm in the Portland, Oregon area. I'm a novice interested in getting into overlanding. I've done some light off-roading and into the dunes on the southern Oregon coast a bit. Excited to get out to some more remote and fun areas. Looking for some groups in the area that are open to newer folks. I have a 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road with upgraded tires (Ridge Grapplers) and a recovery point hitch but no other mods yet. I have traction boards and a decent assortment of light recovery and decent camping gear.

Looking forward to learning as much as I can from the forum!

Hey y'all! Greetings from West Tennessee... not to be confused with the picturesque Mountains of the blessed lands of East Tennessee... this is the Delta :) I have a miserable addictions to Land Rovers, so for those that partake in schadenfreude, I hope you enjoy... After the abuse of following $100,000 jeeps on "tons and 40's", and then spend my weekends repairing my fleet, I have decided to give the simpler life a try. I am in the early stages of planning a trip to the Ozarks, so if you have any maps from the SE Meetup there, that would be great - or advice on recovery assets or communication channels. I also just passed my Ham Technician Test and want to learn more about trail comms.Crumpets.jpg

Looking forward to making lots of new acquaintances.

Hi, my name is Dan

2)Athens, Ga
3)I don't have a rig as of yet. My Mini Countryman S just got totaled from an accident and looking into buying a new vehicle. Trying to decide between a mid-size/full-size and SUV/Truck.
4) A bit tied into 3, my family and I enjoy hiking, fishing, camping etc. but brand new to the concept of off-roading (past taking a stock Countryman S across several moderate trails involving avoiding ruts) and overland-ing. We want to be able have my wife, daughter (4 yo), our 3 pups (ranging from 20-100lb), and I be able to enjoy the adventures.

Thanks for having me!
3) I just came home with a 2020 F150 crewcab xlt4x4

Hi Everybody! My name is Rick Pfadt. We currently are wheeling in our JKU, some trips with our SCT Teardrop, and have a TJ we are currently building more extreme for the rocks and desert. We also have a 46 CJ2a in pieces that will be brought back to life after the TJ is going again. My wife and I love exploring the mountains and desert as often as possible. Hope to see you on the trail!

Hey, I’m Clyde from St Louis, MO.
‘19 Wrangler Rubicon, stock for now

No real overlanding experience, hoping to meet some local folks who’ll share some intel and maybe even let me into their circle. I’m intrigued by the long-term Jeep living channels on YouTube, and draw inspiration from that, knowing well that I cannot quit my job and set out on that quest. That said, shorter-term week or weekend get-aways are not out of the question.
