Hey everyone! Happy to join this community of overlanders (just ordered my badge and membership)! My name is Ben. I currently own a Tank Green 2015 Jeep Wrangler JKU. It is my third Jeep and I absolutely intend on having it forever. I've always enjoyed modifying it here and there but never really had an "end" goal until this year. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan but heading home soon. Every night when I had the chance to get on a computer I would watch endless overlanding videos and bought the Outdoor magazines at the shop we have here. I quickly fell in love with the idea of overlanding and now have my Jeep planned out to fit that purpose. My ultimate goal would be to do something similar to what a fellow OB member did (IAMJake) and travel to all 50 states, sleep in the jeep, explore everything the country has to offer. Anyway enough rambling, happy to be headed home soon and I'm excited to get to know you all!
Here is a picture of my rig currently. I've been ordering a lot of stuff recently that is all sitting in my garage waiting to be installed. 12.jpg

Welcome Ben! Jake was also an inspiration for me. Brother when you get home hit me up, I would be happy to hit the trail with you. Come home safe and sane.
