Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself quickly, I have been Following the Overland community for quite some time but wasn’t able to participate due to having a ram 3500 DRW with a flatbed and compound turbos, that weighs almost 9500 pounds. So it wasn’t particularly ideal for taking on the trails, lol. Long story short I purchased a Tacoma from a friend of mine this past week and wanted to try and get more involved here. I purchased my membership before I even owned the truck. That’s how excited I was, lol.

I’m really looking forward to meeting more people in northern CA and participating it events! Hope to see you guys around! View attachment 110757View attachment 110759View attachment 110758

Hello All,
My name is Dwight and I am from Mesa, Colorado which is on the far Western Slope of Colorado. My wife and I have a '91 YJ with the powerhouse 2.5L. I have been really interested in the overland 4x4ing venue, but our YJ is really set up for the trails in Moab, UT. Our Jeep has a Tera Low transfer case upgrade (4.0:1) which gives me some low end grunt. The rear axle is out of an '89 Jeep Cherokee so it is not a c-clip axle. We have a lockright in the rear and open in the front. We are running 33" mud tires. We have other mods/upgrades, but that is pretty much it for the running gear. We have not done any true overlanding. I would like to build a rig that can do a reasonable amount of overlanding, but still wheel in Moab or near to my home on the Greand Mesa.

Moderators I sincerely apologize if my attachment violates any forum rules. I thought there would be an a resizing of the attachment, but I do not think so.

Hello all. My name's Tom and I live Northwest of Portland, Oregon. I have a stock 1999 Dodge 2500 4X4 Diesel and also a 2014 Conqueror UEV 490 that I purchased earlier this year. I have experience car camping, but I've only begun doing the rough/offroad thing in the last couple of years. I am planning on doing a modest amount of work/upgrades to this truck and plan on getting a newer truck in a few years that I will do some real upgrades on.View attachment 110688

Good Morning Everyone, Tim from Tucson here but originally from the Gila in Silver City, NM.

1998 Jeep Cherokee basic 3" lift, 31's, prerunner bumper and diy tire carrier rack. Rebuilt Engine and Trans, Looking forward to upgrading the stock axles in the near future. Also working on a diy overlanding trailer, been in the planning phase for like 5 years.

Spent the childhood with Dad cruising the Gila in a stock 1983 Ford F150 that went through damn near anything lol. Done a moderate amount of cruising the Gila hunting fishing and hiking since I installed the new engine and trans in 2009.

Greetings from Orange County, CA!
I'm Kyle, recently picked up a LX470 named Ruth (in honor of my favorite bowling ball's name as a kid, just seemed fitting). Shes a slow work in process. My wife and I use Ruth to explore around the LA area and camp wherever we can! I'm new to the 4wd side of vehicles, but have turned my own wrenches since before I could drive. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade, and started my love affair with vehicles with an E30 bmw, hence the name. Hope to see you out on the trails!

I'm Ron from Phoenix, AZ. I drive a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser that is pretty much stock. I've camped and enjoyed the outdoors most of my life, but have not done much off-roading. Now that I'm retired, I have time to start exploring some more.

Hey everyone! I'm chase, brand new to overland bound. I'm very excited to join this community. I'm 30, and for the past 9 years I've been going on adventures. Anytime I can get some time off from the farm I start making tracks. I like to drive back roads looking for adventure, before I have to be back at work. So far I've mostly just done road trips with no plan. But I've accidentally driven some really fun trails. A few years ago I stumbled upon a place called moab. I had never heard of it before, but some people I met at a coffee shop told me about the off road trails. I grew up out in the sticks, so I had experience with off roading so I decided to give it a try. That's how most of my exciting trips happened.

I'm currently driving a 2008 dodge charger. I know that's a little strange, but I outfitted it with a 3 inch lift and 33 inch ATs. She is called Part Runner and she is more capable than you would expect. I also just recently acquired a free jeep liberty so I'm going to be outfitting that into a more traditional overland rig.

I still consider myself a novice and am excited to meet new people and learn from everyone. I hope to see everybody out and about.

Welcome to the group. I look forward to talking with you on the conference call. I think it's time the Boise crowd got some stuff on the calendar. Check out the Map to see if there is stuff going on near you. There is a pile of members down there. Have no fear, a stock JKU is a very capable rig.
