Hey my name is Weston, I live in Huntington Beach CA and own a 2016 Chevy Colorado. Just got my body armor RTT in the mail yesterday and waiting on my bed rack from victory 4x4. I have zero overlanding experience, currently doing tons of research and starting to plan my first trip.

Hey guys, Mike here, from Long Island, New York. I look forward to getting out and planning some overland trips with my new Gladiator Launch Edition. Have already started building it up and will continue to do so until I’m completely broke haha. I have a pretty deep back ground with jeeps and off-roading. Have built probably 7-8 rigs at this point, I also have a 2005 wrangler rubicon unlimited(LJ). That vehicle will be going back under the knife to become a full time rock crawler/trailer queen since the gladiator showed up.

Am currently planning to run a bit of the Trans New Jersey Trail this upcoming weekend with a buddy, in the gladiator and his JL, if any one will be out there let us know, would love to link up with some other members.

Glad to be here, Mike D,

Hey everyone...Kevin here, based just outside of Toronto in Rockwood ON. Have been over landing for about 8 years starting with a JK Rubi and a home made trailer with RTT. Have just recently changed over to a Gladiator Rubicon and will still be hauling the trailer (after a new paint job...). There are 2 other TJs in the family motor pool as well.


Looking forward to being part of the community!

Thanks Kent! My Oregon time is spent near Portland with lots of trips to central and eastern Oregon. Lots of ideas for exploring some remote areas of Oregon this next year as I venture out more. Will for sure watch the trips and get out as often as possible to connect with members. Looking forward to the next Mohave trip also. Happy Holidays.

That’s a great rig, but I’m heavily biased :)

Hi Folks,

Vince here. 2005 Tacoma DCLB. Had it for 4 years, so far have added only suspension & tires. Just had it painted, starting to order overlanding gear starting with sliders. Live in Georgia, hoping to move somewhere in UT/CO/WY in a year or so. No overlanding experience, just lots of annual backpacking in Montana & Wyoming...ready to start exploring with my truck also!

Mike thank you for saying hello. I live in Beaverton but most of my adventures are central and eastern Oregon. I’ll scan all the links when I have a bit more time but look forward to connecting on some fun adventures.

Hi Everyone!

New member here in the SoCal area and new to overlanding. Hoping to learn from the more experienced overlanders and off-roaders here. Very excited to start!

This is my rig! Its a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4. I have had it since April, 2019 and have already put 25k miles on it. I am always making small updates to my vehicle and equipment and would love your input on that. So far I have added the following:

1. Better wheels and tires - Falken Wildpeaks on Method rims
2. Snugtop Campershell to secure and weatherize the bed
3. Electrical Upgrades like SwitchPros and additional outlets
4. Installed a CB for comms
5. Some cockpit mounts and upgrades
6. Upgraded headlight and fog lights
7. Added an air compressor

I have a 9-5 office job but I love the outdoors and photography. To that I am also adding overlanding and camping. I hope to one day explore all 50 states and most of the National Parks in the country. I think overlanding is the best way to do it! I hope to meet you on a trail some time soon!

Thank you!
