Hey everyone.

This is my brief introduction. I love being outdoors, and while I enjoy hiking, I am a gearhead. I love the challenges & technicality of off-roading. It takes me places in days that would normally take me weeks to see. I prefer traveling with my family but sometimes I like to be alone.

My addiction started when I had a CJ7. Now that life requires me to have a more versatile vehicle for my family, career & hobbies. So I went with a 2014 Tundra. I have made some minor modifications.

If you've made it this far without falling asleep, congrats!

I currently live in the Kansas City Metro area and would love to meet up and explore some local trails on the weekends. My goal is to develop a core group to travel around with as I meet more people.

Thanks for reading. I hope to see you on the trail.

Hi, my name is Bob and my wife is Christina (she probably won't be on the forums, but is excited about trying overlanding).

Location: Bay Area, CA
Vehicle: 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4x4. Stock, but just got new 33" Toyo Open Country A/Ts. Hoping to add a small lift/level in the future.
Experience: Overlanding - None; Camping - Some

We have been watching and following Chris at Venture4wd for the last 8 months and I have branched out to other channels, pages and podcasts more recently.

Looking forward to joining groups for some overlanding adventures (work schedule permitting).94087

Hello,
My name is Mike from Phoenix, AZ.
I drive a 05 Jeep TJ.
I have been 4 wheeling for 18 years.
I have been on several week long trips and try and do a 3 day trip every month. I prefer going on trails that are harder and less traveled along with scouting new trails that may not have been traveled in a very long time. I tend to do a lot of solo travel and would love to meet some people with the skill set to join me.

Corey and Crystal Morris here from Rural Hall, NC. We are avid trail runners from way back in the day. We have always loved finding a trail or dirt road and running it to the end. Our favorite ride was from Mt. Crested Butte, CO to Pitkin, CO via Cumberland Pass and Tin Cup. We have a 2006 Jeep Commander XK we are building up to ride trails. Our ultimate goal is to return out west to live. SoCal is our destination. We love to cook and love company so if you're ever in the area, hit us up. We have a YouTube channel called Overland Wanderlust where we share the adventures we go on and other things. We were rebuilding a popup but abandoned that after accepting a position in NC. We look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.
