Hi all - new to the group and new to overloading. We moved to Utah from Michigan and found a great love of all the BLM land and trails.
We are just getting into overloading - definitely newbies. We haven't ventured anything more difficult than White Pocket or Peek a Boo in Kanab, but hoping to expand beyond those areas. For the moment all of those basic dirt roads and trails have been incredible! Will definitely be looking for expert advice from ya'll with more experience.
Below is a pic from the entrance at Peek a Boo Slot Canyon in Kanab.

Hi I'm Kilo in South eastern NM
I have a 2005 ram 1500 4x4 to start the build...new to overloading. I try to employ the KISS method.... So I will start with a roof top tent, am looking at the elite model from 4x4 Colorado, anyone have any Intel on the company or the product?

Hello Overland Bound Community!
I'm Dingus, and I'm new to Overlanding. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of rig I want to build, so there's no photo just yet.
I'm located in Wisconsin
I have spent 20+ years as a backpacker and I want to stretch my outdoor adventures past the hiking trail and have it be more all-encompassing with a mobile base of sorts that can get me deeper into the wilderness before the hike starts.
Looking forward to doing some research and learning from the collective knowledge of this forum.

Hello! My Name is Tony and I live in the Sierra Nevada foothills just outside of Yosemite NP. I have been a longtime motorcycle rider especially on dirt for over 15 years. While I still love it I've noticed more aches and pains at 55 yo when I fall. So I started overlanding, all the views, peace, and outdoors... Less falling and picking up my bike 
. I would consider myself new (about two years) but not a novice. Thousands of miles of mountains roads in my backyard. Love to explore and just pick left or right, up or down as the mood hits me.
I hope to find a local group and attend some group runs. I'm an professional artist/designer (25 years) and I do a little drone flying and photography
to compliment this hobby.
It's a 2003 Ford SportTrac, I designed and build my own RTT platform for $160.
