[Kent R]

Hello fellow overlanders

Name is Chad, I'm from Upstate SC

I'm a maker of sorts, woodworking/carpentry and welding/metal fabrication.

I've been the owner of several modified Jeeps the latest (within past couple of years) being a TJ and Lifted ZJ with all sorts of gear.

I'm a novice to the overlanding realm but experienced to the offroading size of things. Basically I'm used to trailering my rig, wheeling then finding a hotel near by haha.

My Daily is a concrete queen 2020 Grand Cherokee High Altitude.

My recent purchase and current OverlandRig/project is an LS Powered 2000 Chevy Silverado Z71 with a 2" lift.

Over the next 7 months I plan to create a unique yet very capable rig for a 1 month trip throughout various states with my Son.

I hope to be of some help and look forward to the experience in this group.

Hi folks. My wife and I are retired teachers, and have traveled the world in rental vehicles, sometimes staying in hotels, and sometimes camping. With the pandemic making travel difficult, we decided to buy a 2021 Jeep Gladiator, and outfit it for travel. It is so much easier to travel in the JT, rather than in than my 1984 CJ7. We drove the JT to Alaska, and the Artic Ocean from California last summer. As parts become easier to buy, we have dreams of driving through Latin America, and Africa. Let's see what happens.
