I’m up in the northwest part of “The Mitten” right on the coast of Lake Michigan. My rig is a 2007 Tundra RCSB, but I’ve had a few Land Cruisers (60 & 80 series’s) and a v8 4Runner too. Not much experience overlanding but I have traveled a bit.

My current rig:

Hello,
My name is Eric

Location: Wake Forest NC
Current vehicle: 1987 4runner, also wife has 80 series Landcruiser
Overland experience: Beginner, have done a good amount of offroad driving but not much extended camping. So try to learn how to use gaia, and other map programs.

My 4runner is in the build up process, hope to be done by end of March or beginning of April. Wife's Landcruiser is pretty good to go, just minor tweaks.20190930_172836.jpg

Hello Overlanders...
New member here as well as new to the Overlanding way. I have camped and been outdoors all my life. Have had bigger campers, medium campers, tents, but ever since it all started that meant load up, head to the lake, and park it for the weekend. We are ready for more. We are looking forward to new places, exploring, meeting great people, and learning. Just plain adventure as there are so many beautiful places and things we have never taken the opportunity to see. Based in south central Kansas we're pretty much right in the center of it all and ready to travel to find something that resembles a trail!

Starting with our 2020 Jeep Renegade because that's what we have. Also have a teardrop trailer we will be dragging along. Both are being rigged and geared up for the roads ahead. I'm sure wants and needs will change through the future but that's how we're starting out. Can't start until we just get out there. Should be fun and still room for the 2 furry ones!

Hope to see and meet many of you out there.

Hello everyone.
I am an old 4wheeler since buying my first Jeep Wrangler in 1991. Yes, I am a Jeep guy and still have my original 1991 YJ. It has been sidelined for several years, but I hope to make it my restoration project in the coming year. I have also owned a Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Commander (currently undergoing my own Overlander build) and a Compass. Not sure that I would consider the Compass a Jeep, but is makes a decent commuter car. I am also an avid backpacker and spend most of my backpacking in the Monongahela National Forest of West Virginia. Primarily in the Dolly Sods area.

I have been watching the Overland movement for some time and thought what a great way to combine two things I really enjoy. My 2006 Commander is currently stock, but I am slowly adding to it so that it will be more Overland worthy. You know, the typical cabinetry, food prep, tents and slightly more aggressive off road capability. I am not making a mudder, that was the old days with my YJ. I just want to get out and enjoy the primitive and seclusion of Overlanding. I am really looking forward to getting out into the Greenridge area of Maryland in the next few months to start testing gear.
Hopefully I will see some of you out on the trail.

Thanks,
Gilbert

Greetings from Europe - Slovenia my name is Jaka.
This is my rig: 2002 Land Rover Discovery 2
Been around overlanding for let's say 15 years mostly Europe and also a bit of Northern Africa.
View attachment 187742
Hi Jaka,

Nice to meet you, I am from Australia but would love to spend some time exploring Europe. Did you travel from Europe to Northern Africa in your car? I find it very interesting when people do trips across multiple countries and continents.

Cheers,

Tim
