Hello,
My name is Juan. My wife is Mary. We got into overloading a little over a year ago. We have done a few solo trips, but we are looking forward to meet like minded people.
Welcome to the OB crew Juan and Mary, you should be able to find tons of information here to help you with any gear or projects you have planned for your overlanding rig.

Hi All!

I'm Josh, I recently moved to San Jose, CA from the Dallas, TX Area.

Rig is a 2016 Tacoma DCLB, pretty well outfitted...only armor I don't have yet is a rear bumper as I have yet to lose my stock bumper on the trail...

Been overlanding for 4 years now. I enjoy getting out off the beaten path and my travels have led me to take up photography as a hobby to try and capture all of these beautiful places...the forum won't let me upload any good quality photos due to size limitations, so here's a quick iPhone shot on my recent snowboarding trip in the Truckee area overlooking Donner lake.

I'll be taking my HAM tech test in about a month, so no call sign as of yet.

I'm lookin forward to exploring more in California as there's lots within a reasonable drive vs when I was living in Dallas.
Hello Josh, welcome from Phoenix, I love photography also, it is an expensive hobby. I shoot Nikon. Convert your hq images to a jpeg file and you should be able to upload them. Have you tried On1 for your editing? I like it better than P.S.

Howdy all,

I‘m Vince. I enjoy getting lost... literally... and finding my way back. Since leaving WA 4 years ago... I’ve done little to no off road exploring.

I am currently working on building up my 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD ORP.

We’re currently in Illinois awaiting retirement in a few more years and trying to figure where to plant ourselves...... back in the PNW or down east????? The mountains are always calling name....

Hi all, I am new to Overlanding and became interested in Overlanding after watching YouTube.

Location: Where George Washington Crossed the Delaware River.
Rig: 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Experience: Tent camping and YouTube :)

I don't have an updated pic yet, but since this picture, I have added a Rhino Pioneer Platform and hopefully very soon to come will be a rooftop tent, 2.5 AEV Lift, and 35" tires.
