Hello all,I introduced myself a few days ago and I made it official today. Just thought I'd share a couple pics.
Greetings! Glad I found this place. I am an old hand at rough off road driving for the purpose of hunting. Since my truck is set up I want to see what non-hunting trips we can do with the family.
So my name is Ron, I am retired law enforcement. Located near Phx, AZ. (Surprise AZ to be exact)
My rig is in Texas right now getting a full rebuild. Hoping to have it back in about three weeks.
My ride is a 02 Ford Excursion 7.3 Power Stroke. 4" BDS lift. Fox twin tube w/remote suspension. Dana 60 axles with Timkin hubs. Front and rear ARB Air Lockers with ARB Twin Compressor. Newly rebuilt and regeared transfer case. Custom Desert Tan body color. Road Armor Lonestar bumper. 52" light bar on roof, 20" light bar on bumper. Custom head lights, driving lights and fog lights from PIAA. More lighting will go on when I build the roof rack and exo cage. 12,000 lb Warn winch. 35" Nitto Trail Grappler tires on 17" Rockstar III wheels.
Look forward to some time in the dirt.

Hello From San Antonio. Olive is a 2013 JKU I took her 350 miles right off the dealer lot
into the Arizona back country Crown King, Sedona, Cornville, and Prescott next we toured the Grand Canyon. We're here in San Antonio for a few years then back to the Great State of Arizona. Been wheelin since I could reach the peddles, we started carving trails and setting round bails as stop signs. our first field car was a Chevy Vega with a 350 4 speed. We cut down a bunch of trees to get that Vega through the woods. We started driving it with a chunk of wood on the floor pan till we found a seat that would work. I look forward to calling a rally while here. Do reach out we would love to meet you. OB#5714

Hi, new member from NW Arkansas. I sold my 2008 JKU last fall that I purchased new in 2007 and bought this 2013 AEV JKUR with the JK350 package and a few other mods I've added including the Ursa Minor J30 top I had on my 08. I started out building my 08 for rock crawling but switched my build plans in 2011 when I went on a 3 day overlanding style trip through the Ozark National Forest.
If you need an adventure partner, I'm right down the street at Luke, welcome!

Hi All,
I'm a new member, I want to keep this new member thread going with another Tacoma!
I'm in Southern California, I try to go off road whenever I can.
I have a new 2016 Toyota Tacoma that is a work in progress, always something new for the list of things I want to do.
This is the new Front Runner Outfitters roof rack I just installed last week:

Welcome! Love your Jeep, Looks a lot like mine. the wheeling in Arkansas is great. I spent a couple days at the Superlift ORV Park. Traveled to many of the state parks: Loved the falls at Petit Jean, Lake Auchita was great, etc...

Rig: 2016 Wrangler Sport
OB# awaiting number
I go by Mike. This is my first foray into the world of overlanding, I bought this jeep new 6 months ago and haven't left it alone since. I have mainly been camping and off-roading around the pan handle with it and have so far really only tailored it to that. I am planning on getting an off-road trailer in the near future to carry the majority of the gear req for longer overland trips. Currently I have been limited by my job's time constraints as to the trips I can go on, but am planning for my retirement in a couple of years to use this rig for true cross country adventures.

Howdy!
I'm new to OB. I have been visiting the forums here for a while just never joined.
From: Arlington Tx.(lived all over The Great State)
"Rig": Stock Subaru outback (for now, big dreams)
Experience: Came up 4x4'ing with my father, new to Overlanding but love it. Within the last year my wife and I have visited the Rockies, Great Sand Dunes, Big bend and Ouachita National parks/forests. Hitting All OHV/ high clearance roads involved.... Black Gap Road stole my heart. We have a summer trip planned for the Davis mountain and Guadalupe Mountains. Basically if most people wont go there and there is a slight chance of a good view I want to see it!
I would love to meet new people(dog loving people) to wheel with.

Greetings from Tennessee!
I just started to get into the Overland community in general, and more specifically OB. I figured I'd go ahead and follow standard procedure and introduce myself. I frequented the forums and a whole lot of YouTube channels a while back which first peaked my interest and after a long time with my old XJ down, I finally have her back up and running again!
From: Middle Tennessee, United States
Rig: (Using the term "rig" loosely here, as I've just started building) 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport
Experience: A fair bit of outdoor experience (segment hiking on the Appalachian Trail, backpacking, canoeing, former Philmont Scout Ranch staff, and avid fly fisherman) but very new to overlanding and actually camping out of a vehicle.
Here she is (please excuse the IG filters, I wasn't the one who took the pictures)
