Hey there fellow overlanders —

My name is Katie and I’m originally from the Jersey Shore (no, not like the tv show). I moved down to my second home, the Southern OBX, back in 2017 and met my local-born husband and the absolute LOML. One year ago, I bought a Ford Bronco. Two weeks later, my husband bought his. We quickly got heavy into off-roading thanks to the NC Bronco Club and the girl who had only camped in a tent once in her life started her overlanding journey. Sidebar: I did spend every summer in my grandparents 30+ ft Prowler growing up, but it was a permanent setup in a large beachside campground with all of the amenities… including Grandma’s famous meatballs.

As far as our overlanding journey goes — We started out with a wonderful Walmart-bought tent and almost got a divorce after pitching that thing in the dark so we upgraded to a Gazelle T4. In a week or so, our Tiny Camper Co. build will be ready… super excited!!

In addition to working full-time at our local hospital, I somehow find time to co-host The Feud All-Terrain Rally in Matewan, West Virginia and function as an event planner for East Coast NC Overland here in the SOBX. Both organizations are 501c3 non-profits and benefit the youth in their respective areas.

So that’s me in a nutshell.
Welcome to the crew guys! Good lookin’ rigs!

My name is Joshua Noesser. I grew up in the Southern California area but also live in a few other places in the US.
I drive 4 different Rigs
1 - CJ - This is mostly for Rock Crawling and is extremely built. Coilovers, 38's Falkens on Raceline Beadlocks, Tons, Fox Shocks, and all the other crazy custom things. But I have made a few overland trips in it, including Mojave Road. It really makes the whoops section not bad at all.
2 - TJ - 4 inch lift with 35's Falkens, some cheap bumpers and poison spider sliders. Its been all over the US
3- JL - This is used for everything up to an 8-rated trail and has been everywhere in the US. Genright Front and back bumper, Genright tire carrier and steel sliders. Falken 38 tires on Raceline Rims, 2 1/2" Rock Jock Lift, with Rock Jock Steering, Fox Shocks, and ton more.
4 - F250 Tremor High Output (New), this is completely stock and looking to build it out. No plans yet.

Experience: Expert as most would say. But there is no trail I turn away from. I personally love the harder trails as I find the camping is way better and there is no people.

Anyway, I am always looking to explore new places and meet new people. Doesn't matter if you are going to Johnson Valley, or doing a 5 day overland trip. All are great. Hit me up.

Hi There,

I'm new to the community. I'm a hiker and camper, and I'm new to OffRoading. I'd like to give Overlanding a go. I'm in Spokane, WA and I purchased a 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road back in February. Excited about going to off road training down in Goldendale in May, and starting to explore trails here in the Northwest. I'm also looking forward to going camping in places I haven't previously been able to get to. I don't have many good pictures of my truck yet, but here's one from when I purchased it.

Hi, I am Jennifer, and my husband is Gordon. We enjoy camping, hiking, and exploring nature on two wheels, 4 wheels, and taking our grandkids out to find new, exciting nature spots off the beaten path. We don't get out as much as we would like now that we have built Al's Hideaway in 2017, which is a campground on 20 acres designed for those who love to explore the Texas Hill Country.
