Hi I'm pretty new to overlanding and offroading in general. I have a 2021 Toyota Tundra that I took on a recent trip from my home in the Bay Area to Utah with some of my friends who have been into offroading and overlanding for a couple years. It was a great time and I learned a lot, but I'm hoping to learn more and be able to see some really cool things with the truck. Pleasure to meet you all.

Hello to everyone. I have been interested in overlanding for a few years now. I have loved all the videos OB puts out. Got my Ranger to be a little different. Still slowly building as needed per trip of needs only first. That’s why I call it the catch22ranger the many undecided things to do.

Rig: 2006 Ford Ranger 4x4
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Experience: Army wheeled vehicle recovery specialist.

Hello!

I'm KC. I've been a long time lurker and admirer of all things Overland. I'm finally transitioning from backpacking to care based travel. I've car camped in dispersed sites and dabble in 4x4ing but I'm an overland novice!

Looking forward to engaging with everyone and learning more and more.

No pics of the 2018 Sahara JKU because it's currently getting some new installs :)

Hey everyone,

New to to the crew here. My name is Eric and I'm up in Northern Colorado (Fort Collins). Mildly experienced in overland travel by 4x4 and motorcycle. Recently picked up a 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser Trail Teams Edition that will become our primary family over-landing vehicle. Also have a 2000 100 Series Land Cruiser that is soon to be relegated to popup camper pulling and 16-yr old daughter tank.

Looking forward to contributing to the community and see you on the trails!!
Eric

Welcome to OB. My son in law and daughter basically got me started in the off-road community, they had a Rubicon and a FJ-CRUISER back then, both great vehicles. They ended up trading in both of them for a Ford Excursion due to their growing family. I now have 6 grand children by them! I really liked their Cruiser, very unique vehicle that they should have made more of. Hope we can either go on a trip or just bump into you out and about.

Brand new to the 4x4 Lifestyle. Looking to network with my local Overland community, in the middle of FlatLand Indiana.(20 minutes north of Indianapolis) Cutting fields and running fence lines is about the only overlanding I've seen. I want to cut my teeth on some of the easier things the Midwest has to offer. Then pilgrimage to Mojave desert for some bucket list type stuff. My adventurous spirit is big as the day is long, mostly two lane highway & two wheels. My name is Jason, my friends call me J. Always looking for the next adventure. From humble beginnings to the ends of the Earth, Have rig will travel.

Howdy everyone! Josh here.

Location: Northeast Texas
Vehicle: 2019 Ram Power Wagon
Overland Experience: Experienced
Why Overlanding: from a young age I’ve adventured the Southern forests and once I got my license I explored our wonderful public lands throughout the west. I’m a career wildland firefighter who spends tons of time in the wildlands with fire engines, ORUVs, and helicopters. My wife grew up in the city and has adopted the outdoor lifestyle with me with multiple trips in North America experiencing the great outdoors.
Glad to be here and looking forward to meeting likeminded folks.
