Hi,

I'm Brice. My 2021 Bronco is to be delivered early December. I feel I am finally in a place where I have a vehicle I can trust. This has been many years in the making. Maybe it is just my age but I want to travel in reasonable comfort. I have had other vehicles but they either needed too much maintenance or weren't the right vehicle for me. I also have a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser that I love and cherish, but again, not the comfort and reliability I need.

I am in the Salt Lake area looking to get started on some trips. Headed to St. George shortly after my bronco arrives and I'll be testing it out in the west desert and in the mountains.

Welcome to OB Brice! Look forward to seeing that rig when it arrives! When you're ready to explore Colorado, hit us up, we have a great group in the region (like all OB regions!!)

Welcome, I was just about to point you to the 'Where's the Utah People at?" thread, but you beat me to it!

Hey everyone. I made this account two years ago and I havent touched it since.
I live in lower Alabama with my family. I have a 05 2wd Toyota Tacoma Offroad that I'm looking to turn into a Overlanding rig. I"m just looking for some locals to hang out with and show me a few things so I can do some camping with my kids. Planning a trip to Big Bend in 2024 for the eclipse so we thought overlanding would get us a better view for some photos and some astrophotography that night.

Greetings Tim and welcome to OB!

Greetings Todd and welcome to OB!

Hey everyone. I'm Matt from the PNW. I have many years of off-road experience including 10+ years of competition rock crawling. I built my 86 4runner nicknames the IFsRunner from the ground up to be able to follow buggies while packing tools and coolers. Life has changed for me over the last year and I'm in the process of building my 95 land cruiser to live out of full time while I travel all over the country and see everything I possibly can. All while spending as much time in the dirt as possible. Just myself and my dog. Hoping to have the rig done in the next month or so for its shake down run. Definitely looking forward to hearing suggestions on what to see and long trails to run. Alaska is already planned for next year and I'd love to run from Canada to Mexico this winter. I'll be completely setup for off grid living. Thanks!

Greetings Matt and welcome to OB from a fellow PNW'er!

Hello everyone, I’m Ray, I’m new to the forum, wanting to get some tips on overlanding, and what a rig should be equipped with I’m in the middle of rebuilding my 71 Bronco that has been a daily driver since 1988? In the future I would like to do some mild overland trips.

 

[GypsyBrit]

Hello I'm Nathan I just joined and am super excited about this community. I'm from England originally but moved every three years after the age of eight so... lived and been all over Europe and America currently in eastern Nevada with my work I'm an aircraft electrician in the US navy.
I'm a camper and hiker and have been my hole life didn't really branch into overlanding till I moved to Washington state but am very excited to finally build my first designated overland rig. I own a 1988 land rover defender named Gary and even in his old age he's a beast. Looking to see any of you out on the trails and picking your collective brains in the future.

 

[GypsyBrit]

This is Gary an old picture he has a few upgrades now

Hello everyone!

I am from the Salt Lake City, Utah area. I have always loved the outdoors and as my children are growing we have been more able to get out camping and hiking and I aspire to do more overlanding travel as they grow!
My current rig is a 2020 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid that is my daily driver. We are ground tent campers for now, looking to get a small trailer with a RTT to give us a few more comforts and ability to go further! I am definitely a novice when it comes to overlanding and off-road travel! I am a Nurse now but started out as an Air Force Medic, I love all things wilderness medicine and teaching/learning from others, I hope to continue to expand my knowledge and experience through this group!

West Jordan here.

might try this forum Where’s the Utah people at??
