Lol, anything I happen to need. I'm not really one for running out and spending money if I can make it myself. (Although, I do like new toys!) The last thing I make was a step that hooks into the door striker to make it easier to get to the roof of my truck. I've built boats, trucks, bikes, I do a lot of work with solar panels, etc. I'm sort of a "build a better mousetrap" type person. I'll tinker with anything. lol
That's awesome. might get in touch with ya when the time comes to build new stuff for my rig lol. I do enjoy building things myself as sometimes i try to justify building over buying certain parts/ etc

Welcome! Love the Gladiator build. Make sure to check out the local region's forums for events and meetups in your area. Also, the Rally Point system is very helpful.

Absolutely. I'd enjoy helping where I can on a project. I have a few projects in the works already, I'll add post when I get them done.

Hey y'all. I'm Kilby. Located in Morrison, Colorado USA. I've been known to drive a few different vehicles. Currently I'm in a gen 3 Taco and a Disco 1. I'm probably an intermediate overlander, have lots of trail riding experience, and using the vehicles to get the family out to neat places. I would totally be interested in connecting with Colorado locals or passers-through for trips.
Welcome, Mr. Kilby!

Hello Everyone! My name is Michael, I own a 2006 LR3 outside of Atlanta, GA, and I'm a complete newbie to Overlanding!

I've dreamt of Overlanding ever since I was a wee lad, but never knew what it was called. The wife and I used to camp and backpack a lot before the kids where born, and now that they are getting older (almost 5 and 9), it's time to spend A LOT more time outdoors. I intended on building another track car (3 years in SCCA solo w/ Honda CRX, 1 year getting some hours in NASA but never competed w/ BMW E30. A lifelong obsession with speed and cars), but decided a vehicle more suited for the outdoors would be a lot more fun for the family. The LR3 is stock, with the exception of A/T tires, and will remain so until winter, as maintenance is key to these cars. Love the car, and have lots of plans in the future. I'm a bit of a creeper on forums and have already read hundreds of posts to narrow down gear and other ideas. I look forward to eventually meeting some of you out on the trails in the future!

Hello everyone my name is Aaron. I've been on a hiatus of sorts from offroading for the last 4 years after it being my main hobby for 15 years. Just got back into it with the purchase of a 2019 Rubicon. I've never considered overlanding before, but this time around want to focus more on enjoying the trails and outdoors and less on big obstacles and over built trail rigs. The picture is a twin to my jeep, but not my actual jeep as we don't have those mountains in southwest MO.

MAN!!! I was really hoping you were going to show us a 'Vette decked out for overlanding. :smiley: But I guess a new Rubicon will work. Welcome from Oklahoma.

I've seen some redneck 4x4s in my time, but can't imagine a Z06 that way. But boy my LS7 would be fun in a buggy.

Hello Jerry (@Kokopelli ), welcome from central Oklahoma. The Chickasaw National Rec Area is one of my family's favorite places to camp. I stayed there by myself in May and had the entire Cold Springs camp ground to myself, it was kind of eerie. I drive a 93 XJ as well, 2 door 5 speed.

hey Jon, yes the CNRA is pretty neat. I just live about a mile south of there so I go thru it daily. Glad to be on the OB site and can't wait for cooler temps so I can get back in the woods. Thanks for the info and holler at me if you head down this way again.......

Hello all! New here to Overlanding, but I guess I have been doing this for years and never knew there was a name for it.

I drive a 08 Nissan Pathfinder. Building it up a bit more to handle 4 people. Two young kiddos in the truck eat up so much space! :)

Hi all, I'm Don from Folsom, California. New to Overlanding and to the forum. I recently retired and my wife and I are looking forward to getting out and exploring.
