Hello . I guess I did this right and the internet is not on fire so , good for me . LOL .
I am a new old guy who has been watching this overland thing for a few years now . I just find it interesting and exciting . I am a Army vet , retired otr truck driver , granddad , hunter and long time camper .
I just started a build out of our new ARE commercial topper on our 18 Ram 1500 4x4 . Just for honestly just a place to overnight camp in comfort and still be able to take the SXS or boat . Love our Winnebago drop but I just wanted something a lot simpler for shorter camps .
I like to see what others build and use as I am a do it yourselfer who loves a good project .

I hope maybe sometime I can help , advise someone on a project build of some kind .

I’m Nate and I live in NC. I grew up four wheeling and doing a lot of “mudding” so I have a decent amount of experience in the 4x4 aspect of it all. In the past few years I’ve been traveling the country for work and got into camping and mountain biking. I prefer dispersed camping where I can ride and enjoy the solitude and beauty that nature has to offer.

This is my new truck and I intend on getting it set up for camping and riding. Obviously getting to those hard to get to spots is key so I’m hoping this truck will help.

I am aware that most overland vehicles are smaller but this is my vehicle of choice and I would love to get out on some trails and camping trips with some people on the east coast.

I look forward to the adventures!

I'm from Northern Virginia and I have no experience nor do I have a rig. (currently in the market for one)

My friend got me hooked on overlanding and I'm currently just trying to read up and learn as much as I can before I make the investment into a vehicle and gear.

Hello from Indiana...

Looking to gain knowledge from the OB community and resources here, thanks in advance.

Most of my recent vehicle based adventures in Jeep JKU, Sprinter 170, or rental ride depending on the trip, crew, gear, etc.

P.S. Hopefully someone can help me with updating my member access (#20225) so that I can view the map data. I've updated my profile and posted in the "Have a Member Number?..." thread. Thanks!

Hey everyone. Glad to be here. I'm new to the overland community, but I have been rock crawling and 4 wheeling as well as dirt bikes since I was very young. I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee on 37" BFGs and one ton axles, as well as a fairly stock 2004 FX4 F150. I'm located in Mesa, Arizona and am excited to be a part of this community!

Hello, I’m fairly new in this forum.. I’m from Santa Clarita, CA. Currently own a 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser. Love the outdoors and enjoy nature at its best! Been on a few short overlanding trips - probably between a novice and intermediate, experience wise. Me and my brothers have pretty similar rigs.. we go out together with our families... I am also a photographer so my goal is to capture the milky way galaxy whenever I can during our expeditions.
