Welcome to the OB crew, if you want any refreshers on any aspect of your overlanding journey, head over to the Boot Camp threads here in the forums, there is a lot of useful information on every catagory of overlanding, be sure to ask questions if you have any , our experienced overlanders here are happy to answer questions and offer you advice. I am glad you found us too, a group of us were chatting yesterday and that very topic was touched on, there are many forums out there with egotistical members and moderators who love to throw shade or worse. Here you will find none of that only members who are willing to help any and all who need it. So welcome!

A robust off road history of Motocrosss racing in my youth and later in life Off Road racing became a hobby and passion landing me frequently in the US and Mexico (Baja 100, 500 and V2R to name a few ). My off road experiences have given me a solid understanding of various terrains in the wilderness. Following my adventurous path when I got to my retirement I discovered overlanding. My Overnlanding journey began with a trip on the TAT in 2019. My custom built Jeep JK was tight on space but very worthy of any terrain we ran across as well as capable for weeks off grid. My JK build was assisted by ExtremTerrain, Thanks ET! I am now looking into an off road trailer for my less harsh trips ( not to mention my wife will join me as long as a hot shower is available ). Oh and I don't do a single trip without my best friend, Forrest the Golden Retriever. Hope to see you on the road less traveled.

Welcome to the OB crew, looks like you have a nice setup there, maybe post a few pictures in the vehicle build threads, might be an inspiration to someone building a similar rig
