Hey all, I'm Greg. I stumbled across this site while looking at another overland camping page. I just bought a 2020 Jeep JLU Rubicon a couple months ago. This is my third Jeep but the first time I've looked into overland camping with one. My wife and I love to camp but we usually end up in a tent or small trailer/camper. I wanted to look at different options and came across overland camping. We live in the Florida panhandle so we have a good bit of the Southeast for exploration. I'm looking forward to learning more about this venture and seeing where it takes us!

Hey, everyone! About a year and half ago I traded in my 2017 Mustang GT for a 2016 F150 KR. I instantly fell in love with my truck. I live in Houston Texas but last year I had to work in west Texas. While out there I visited Big Bend National Park. I think this is what got me into wanting to venture into over land.

Currently my truck has just a couple things but I want to soon get some lights and bumpers and maybe a roof top tent. Basically I want to get more serious.

Current mods:
Raptor wheels(soon to swap ko2s for nitto ride grapplers), 2.5" level kit, tonnue cover, window tint, magnaflow muffler, baja designs yellow foglights.

Anyways sorry for the somewhat lengthy intro. Looking forward to conversing with other members and gaining knowledge.

New in Alabama. I’m not technically an overland guy. I’ve just bought a gps for my motorcycle and I’m trying to find tracks to download. Somehow I stumbled in here. I do guess I am interested in similar trails as you folks so I expect I’ll stick around for a bit.

Hi I’m Lance. I know nothing! I’m a fairly new Jeep owner and hope to go on my first off road trip soon to begin getting experience. My ultimate goal after getting some trail experience is to venture into overlanding. I have a Jeep Rubicon and have been adding some upgrades and purchasing recovery equipment so I’ll be ready. I hope to find a group near Castle Rock, CO (Denver suburb) that I can meet and get to know. Having just signed up for this forum and viewing the website I can say I’m very impressed with everything. It’s very well done.

Hi all, I'm Drew. I am a super causal. My family enjoys car camping and we're looking for some more off-the-beaten path adventures. Low tolerance for crawling, more of a forest roads fan. We're in San Diego county but spend time on the road (yay covid) working and schooling from different places. Headed to St. George next week, Joshua Tree in Dec. I'm looking for advice and options for accessible and fun sites as well as finding and sharing cooking tips. Love campfire cooking! Excited to have found y'all.

Hello everyone!!!! My name is David, I’m 29 from Palmdale California (LA County). I don’t have any overland experience. Just your normal tent camping here and there. I’ve ordered a RTT already and have a few other basic necessities but hope to learn and grow in time. I’m stoked to dive into this with my family and make some awesome memories! Hope to see you out on the trail!
