Hello All,

My name is Chris and I currently live in Northern California and am moving to Denver Colorado at the end of next week! I don't have a rig currently but and looking to get my hands on one once the move is complete. I am completely new to overlanding (other than "web wheeling" like crazy!) I'm excited to meet other overlanders!

My name is Rick. I live in the DFW Texas area. Experience? Beginner I guess. My vehicle is a 2015 Jeep Cherokee (KL). FWD. I put AT tires on it, and so far with the soft roading I do it is great!

I claim to be from DFW but in all truthfulness I'm about 2 hours out, as Texans know that is just down the road. Welcome to the club.

Hello Everybody! I'm Adrian and I'm currently in Shelton Connecticut. Not much experience on overlanding, pretty much novice. My rig and dd is 2002 Ford Ranger FX4.

Hmmmm...sure doesn't look like a novice's rig. Welcome. like to see the rig when you think you're an intermediate overlander. :sunglasses:

Greetings from Helmetta, New Jersey!

My name is Ian and live in a small area in Central New Jersey just south of East Brunswick!
I drive a 2000 Subaru Outback with a 4" lift kit and 29" tires; in addition, I own a 2017 3.6R Outback and my girlfriend drives a 2017 Forester XT.
I grew up in the wonderful Sunshine State, Attended College in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont, and planted myself somewhere "in-the-middle."
I would say that my experience and capabilities are as on par with my vehicle; jack of all trades but by far a master of none.
Looking forward to meeting new people!

Hello all, name's Sean Inglesby

I hail from wine country, California, USA. Specifically Santa Rosa, CA.
I have a whole sough of rigs/vehicles for various purposes...the summary:
1. 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Dog Taxi, daily driver, light to moderate wheeling, overlanding with heated seats and sunroof is awesome
2. 1997 Jeep Cherokee - used to be my overlander (North Carolina to California is longest continuous journey to date) but has grown into more of a capable off roader
3. 2002 VW New Beetle...yup, just wait till you see photos.
4. Other projects coming and going frequently

I am former US Army special operations, born in Germany, raised mostly in California, and spent a few years in Georgia and North Carolina with uncle sam. Grew up outdoors, camping, backpacking, wheeling, exploring, navigating, etc and was very confident in that setting. The army just spent some money making those skills even better and adding to them. I'm good with it.
I now own and operate Trail Forged Offroad and Overland, a supplier and manufacturer dedicated to the wheeling and adventuresome crowds.
