Hello everyone!

My name is Graydon McKee and I live in Cumming, Ga. I’m new to Overlanding though I used to go “4Wheeling” quite a bit 20+ years ago. I preferred “low and slow” to the mud slinging. At least most of the time.
I used to be a Jeep guy but have recently inherited a 2007 Toyota 4Runner Sport. It is stock but I plan on some minor modifications over the next few years. First thing is new tires and fixing the 4Low actuator. My father ran it in 4High once a month but never bothered with 4Low. Use it or loose it they say.

Howdy! This is the first response to a post I've done. I am a new member, just signed up to be a part of this community. I am also new to off-roading / overlanding. I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler, no real mods. I have been to Ocean City Maryland's Jeep Beach Week before and played around a little here and there on some mild trails but nothing significant. I am looking forward to getting educated and motivated thru this site. I've only been to Georgia once, Savannah, staying there a few days before going to Florida. I stayed at a "Haunted Hotel" in Savannah in hopes to experience some paranormal activity but it didnt happen while I was awake haha. I'm not too far away, I'm a Virginian.

Hallo John
Thats a good start

I am pretty excited I stumbled across this site after watching a YouTube Video by Crazy Empty Nest titled "What is Overlanding? Overland Camping 101- How to Get Started"
I like camping, mostly car camping sites. I like hiking the trails locally and in the Shenandoah Mountains. The concept of Overlanding is always something I have thought about but never pursued due to work and life. Luckily, my wife is on board and loves the outdoors and adventures too, and she is excited to make time with me, both of us stepping away from work and school and trainings, to go on more adventures. Overlanding falls right in place to what we want. I am excited to learn lots form everyone here.

I also stumbled across www.overlandexpo.com/east/ yesterday while browsing around and am definitely considering take leave from work to attend and learn.

Vehicle: 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, practically stock.

Hello all!! My name is Mike

Hi Mike,

It's pretty cool you were able to get your dads jeep jk, especially being able to turn it into something extra special, adventures with your boys. Hopefully this helps them keep some memories of him.

Welcome to the community.

Welcome To Overland Bound John
I like how you described you occupation, FF first then Paramedic. ;-)
The JK is a great platform, I had my 2011 for 9 years and loved it.

Hello all!! My name is Mike and I’m in Long Island NY. A year ago my father past away in Puerto Rico and I decided to keep his 2010 Jeep jk. It has since gone through a total make over. I have two little boys and I’m looking for a fun way to bond with them away from the iPads and PlayStation. I’m excited to start this new journey and hobby. Thanks for the amazing videos. Looking forward to hitting the trails.

Hi Everyone. I'm Mike from Tampa, FL
My Family and I love to travel the back roads. We started a few years ago in our 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6R and recently purchased a 2020 4Runner TRD Off-Road as a 2nd adventure vehicle.
We are still very Novice with anything truly off-road, but we are more experienced back country campers;). Looking forward to being a part of the community

Hi. I am Michael Riyanto and just joined OB. I am in San Francisco, CA. I have a 2021 Subaru Outback. Bone stock. Didn’t actually buy it for overlanding (i.e., I learned about overlanding after I bought the car), but more for shuttling my dogs to the trails. Experience: Novice. I took a 2-day off-roading course in Mojave in a Wrangler, did Titus Canyon trail in DVNP, and roadtripped to Bahia Concepcion sticking mostly to the paved roads though. I look forward to meeting members and exploring backcountry roads.
