Welcome to the OB crewHi OB Community,
daveblademan here from CT .. currently have a 2016 Jeep Sahara with:
Mods: 3.5 AEV lift kit, 35" Ridge Grappler tyres, 20" Raceline wheels, dual battery, SPoD, Onboard ARB compressor, AEV Snorkel, Frontrunner slimline rack, Tepui RTT, AEV front bumper, rear bumper with tyre carrier, maxtrax etc etc..
Overlanding experience ?: not a rock crawler ! but overloading, some.. however CT doesn't have the accessibility like Southern CA :-( so the nearest 'playground' seems to be Maine..
Next challenge: I've a 2002 Ford Explorer that I'd like to lift, new wheel/tyres etc and do some level of overloading with (now the kids can drive)... but researching like heck on just what is doable...
Ultimate desire: would LOVE to get my hands on a 110 Defender and see what can be done, but loving the Jeep life currently...I'm hooked

Welcome to the OB crew Dave, if you are looking to jump start your overlanding knowledge, head over to theBoot Camp section of the forums and read the articles there, ask plenty of questions, we have tons of seasoned overlanders that are willing to answer questions and offer advice.Hello OB crew!
New member here... name is Dave
Live in SE Pennsylvania
Own a Jeep Gladiator which is my fourth Jeep. Previously owned a '94 YJ, '00 TJ and '12 JK
Extreme novice to Overlanding... never been camping (besides a cabin), but have a strong desire to get out and get away from everyday life.
Some experience four wheeling as I build my rigs for the trails, not the malls. Paragon (now closed) and Rausch Creek are the Offroad Parks where I learned.
I'm more interested now in meeting new people and enjoying the outdoors. Looking forward to some day/weekend adventures and possibly join the TAT trip in June.

Welcome to the OB crewHey ya’ll I’m Brian, I’m an ER RN who recently got back into Jeepin’ my wife and we had a 4 door JK that we sold when we started doing travel nursing. We recently purchased a 2 door JK rubcion 6 speed and have been learning about overlanding and totally dig it! We are currently in Southern California in the Palm Springs area. I’ve done a handful of upgrades to our JK thus far, including a 10th anniversary front bumper, warn mid height bumper bar, badlands 12k synthetic winch, quadratic headlights and fogs, Lux lighting rock lights, dometic cd30 drawer fridge, aqua Reese bumper conversion, old man emu 2.5 HD lift with teraflex shocks, solar battery charger, RC switch pod, hood light bar and A pillar light bar. Currently have 33” tires, looking to upgrade to 35” tires. I plumbed the rear bumper with a sea flow pump
To have running water that comes out of the license plate mount. The pump is powered by a solar generator. I also have a trail rack and ACE engineering standalone tire carrier with some
Rotopax. Looking forward to meeting some like minded people and exploring so-cal!
