Hello everyone!

New to the forum and I'm excited to branch out into the community.

I'm in the OC and drive a 2017 Jeep JK sport with some fixin's on it. I consider myself a novice, I've done quite a few trails and have run into some hairy situations out there, but there is always something new to learn and by no means do I know the technical stuff.

Looking forward to seeing anyone out there!

Best,
JA

Hey, Mike here. Just joined today, member#21440. I live in San Clemente, CA and I drive a 2019 Ford Raptor. I bought the truck in August, and the off-roading bug hit me hard. Im a total novice when it comes to overlanding, but I love adventure, the outdoors, and tinkering/modifying vehicles. I think I’m in the right place for that :). I have a 5 day Overland Baja trip lined up in March with the EXO team that I’m currently gearing up for. Until then, Im more of a weekend warrior. My favorite spots I’ve taken the truck to so far is Anza Borrego. I never new how beautiful the desert was until I spent time here. Here’s a pic from my last outing.

Im looking forward to learning and contributing to the group!
That EXO trip is gonna be amazing!! Plenty of pics and/or video will be required, y'know... !! Congratulations! That's a tough gig to book if I understand correctly. I'm really looking forward to your trip analysis! :sunglasses:

And welcome to OB!
Thanks for tip! I picked up camping gear last night so ready to go to the next event.
What did ya get??

Hello everyone, glad to be here
I'm a novice at this, I've been trailing before and I'm hooked.
Currently dont have a rig, I was going to outfit my '94 pathfinder but the 2 piece driveshaft isent trust worthy and its 2wd so I'm looking at 2 vehicles I hope yall could help me out with choosing.
I'm located in central Michigan and travel around the state often to explore new places, hope to meet nearby members to trail and explore with!

So very excited!!!!
I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks for the goodies!! I’m over the moon with the apparel that has arrived......even though, queen an country felt it important to charge me even more money for the privilege of having it arrive from the U.S!!

I’ve attached a picture, can’t wait to attach to my vehicle....
I’ve got two vehicles......one is my overland camper, the other my every day truck....should I put one emblem on both???? Or put both on one??? Thoughts?!

Or do I need another two emblems.....aaaah!!

Any inspiration or thoughts welcome

Welcome! You should do whatever you wish, haha. Remember it doesn’t matter what you drive.

My emblem went with my original vehicle I sold, but after a year I got more for my current rig.

Welcome! I love the Ford Raptor and almost got one last year, but decided I needed an SUV. How do you like the eco boost? My buddy has one and it’s a great engine, even though some folks can’t get past it being a V6.

Looking forward to seeing photos from your journey! Awesome!
