Hey guys. I just joined today. I traded my 06 Jeep TJ for a 16 JKU. The Jeep is bone stock but looking to start upgrading soon. I'm in the Charlotte, NC area. I work in law enforcement and I really look forward to meeting new people who aren't criminals.

Started watching a bunch of videos online about overlanding. I really like the idea of it. I am retired and hope to do some trips to get my feet wet. The Jeep is my wife’s daily driver so I need to keep that in mind when I get the urge to ‘set it up’.

I am going to review some more of the site and forums. Looks like some great information and great people here.

Hi Everyone. Just bought a 2017 4runner. Would like to equip it for more adventure. Traded in a 2006 Ford Exploder that took me many places. I would love to know how the world would compare these two.
Welcome. I'm bias towards 4Runners so my opinion is 4Runners rule. [emoji12][emoji41]

Hello Everyone,

Became a member a few days ago at Overland Expo East. Have enjoyed off roading and camping for many years. I enjoy working on my and my friends vehicles ( mostly Jeeps. ) I currently own a 2012 JKUR which is set up more for going off road but have recently started outfitting it for more overland style travel. Hoping to incorporate both into my future travels. Living in south Florida and hoping to meet some members in the area.

Kids are grown and doing their thing so wifey & I wanna get back into camping so for us that means driving there pulling our explorer trailer, tenting and exploring mostly Canadian wilderness but have a US destination bucket list.

Hey everyone, I already joined a few months ago. I'm originally from Cologne, Germany but since August travelling Canada and the U.S. with my Mercedes Sprinter van. I started the trip in Halifax, Canada and spent some time in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. From there I travelled via Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Badlands National Park etc. to Seattle where I will stay.

Rig: 2001 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4, former Swiss Military, has a lift and a rear locking differential.

Looking forward to the discussions in the forum and maybe meet some of you at the events.

Hey OB community, like Kai above I joined several months ago. I’m new to overlanding and most things involving vehicular camping. Did lots of camping and hiking as a kid, and some off-roading with friends vehicles growing up but nothing in my own. I’ve got a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk and currently live in the Central Valley, CA. Hoping to meet fellow members and learn more about everything!

Evening y'all,

I have been lurking on the page for about the past year.
I'm located in the Texas panhandle (Lubbock).

Recently purchased a used 2017 F-150 SCRW (5.0). The dealer really didn't know much about what if any mods the previous owner did. (it's not stock height, but I cannot figure out if it is a level kit or lift).

The intent is to slowly create a rig that will support my family and I to get us from point a to point b. No Matter what. Modular in concept so as to remain my DD. But also get my friends and I out to a campground in inclement weather.

My user name is the families name for the rig. Color is Grey (storm) and goose comes from how they say I drive "occasionally". (I plead the 5th).

My overlanding experience is with military vics and the like.

Looking forward to wandering around the forums looking for ideas.
