Prerunner1982, Thank you for the compliments on my toys. I sure do enjoy them. If i just had the money and time to finish building and outfitting them. Yes I am currently running GMRS since it was a fairly decent system and all I had to do was give the government a little more of my money. I am looking to get my HAM license. Picked up a study guide a couple months back and reached out to the local HAM club about testing just not had the time to follow through with it. Thanks for the heads up on the website to listen in on the Friday night net call. I look forward to listening in tonight.

Hello everyone! I’m Eric from Petaluma, CA, about 40min north of San Francisco. My family and I are avid mountain bikers, lover to hike and camp, etc, and love our TRD Off-road Taco. Looking to make it even more capable with everyone’s help and to build up an XJ for the Rubicon soon.

I currently daily drive a 1999 Land Cruiser. I am looking to get ‘out there further’ than just hiking and camping. Looking forward to learning more for this community. I live in The Middle TN area.

Hello!

I'm from the Northern California Area, and am familiar with camping and backpacking, and starting Overlanding.
Looking to get a Overland Vehicle, and I have a fair bit of experience with cars and mechanics so I can build it myself.

Thx

Hello,

My name is Vicki and I currently reside in Edgewood, NM about 25 miles East of Albuquerque. I've lived here since 2004. My prior locations can be found in CA, OR and NV.

I've run the fwys with my parents since before I could drive, I5, I40, I80, and Hwy 99 mostly. They started me camping when I was about 3 years old. Recently purchased a 25" Coachman BH. While I like it, its a little bigger than I want, its not as easy to just pack and go for the weekend and explore. I've camped in tents, a cab over, back of pick up, a hybrid, and now my fully enclosed RV.

I was part of NM4W for a while but my current vehicle is a bit bigger than a Jeep so I left the group, no runs for a full sized pick up. I started driving off road a few years ago when I purchased a 2016 Colorado (that vehicle kept up with the jeeps), but sold it to be able to pull a larger trailer. The Dodge Ram 1500 Crew 4x then came about. I've modded all of my vehicles (where my pay checks go) even the street ones since I was 18. Lowered/Raised etc.

I purchased my current ride in September, it's a 2019 Ford F250 Crew 4x. Its the largest vehicle every owned. I recently just purchased some 33" Mickey Thompson MTZ P3s.

Actual Overlanding experience... "Newbie"

Looking fwd to getting together and meeting you all...…..
