Hello!

Darin here from Brookhaven, GA (Atlanta). My rig is a 2017 Toyota 4Runner. I enjoy escaping the city as often as possible. Been steadily growing in my overlanding skills and adventures. I also enjoy learning from others’ tips and tricks of the trade be it camp hacks or build advice. I can usually be found on sections of the Georgia Traverse and other areas in the mountains of the Southeastern US. Ventured out west for FJ Summit this year and tagged on a few days in Moab. Quite the experience.0EE82708-9427-4B5F-A99C-437964C3A667.jpeg

Hey everybody, just joined because I met some really cool guys who are also members of Overland Bound at the Coyote Works open invitational in Oregon. Looking forward to meeting some of you and getting outdoors!View attachment 122512
Welcome from up North (Whidbey Island)! Wished I could have made it to the Coyote Works event, but the rig out down for repairs.

Here are a few tips to get you started here:
-Check out the local region's specific forums for events and meetups in your area. Like the NW Meetup at Samish Overlook on November 1st!
-Check out the Rally Point system and the Member Map for people and events near you (super helpful).
-Our region has a FB page that you might consider joining.

If you need anything, let me know!

Cheers!

I definitely need to do a trip out west! I've done some "off-roading/camping" in the southern portion of the mohave desert but that was all work related so I didn't get to actually explore... still a fun time though.

Hello, and welcome. I know you will find a great group of like minded Overland enthusiasts on this site! Take the time to check out the videos and site information at the top of the forum page. Also look at the Member map and reach out to the people in your area. Another good place is to look up the Oregon area for the different local meetups. @Roy & Kristin Zirpoli are representatives in PDX, along with a great Facebook page. Any help I can personally give, just ask! See you out there! Vance.

Location - Hesperia California
Rig - Ram 2500 6.7 4x4
Experience - Novice

Really excited to start building this truck for some solid off grid trips. Currently use it for some offroading and towing my toyhauler, but recently decided i would like to have some simpler trips with me and the fam. Slowing building the truck to be ready for the trail one piece at a time. Any advice is welcome.View attachment 122658View attachment 122659View attachment 122660

Hello all, new to the forum but have been 4x4, outdoors and camping enthusiast all my life. Living in Brisbane QLD Australia Currently driving a 2008 Nissan patrol which I have recently purchased as an upgrade due to the need for the extra seating for when my now 9 week old daughter graced us with her presence. Looking forward to talking and sharing with many like minded enthusiasts etc.

Hi ya'll. Thanks for accepting me.
I've had big life changes the past three years, and have not been out on any adventures yet. I am collecting camping gear and will be traveling in my Honda Element once the weather gets cooler. My buddy will be my 11 year-old lab mix, Sweet Pea. I am a 1st time grandma to a 2-month old grandson that I hope to take camping when he's bigger. I love being outdoors after being in a corporate building for most of 33 years. I am sooo green to this kind of adventure and I know there will be mistakes made, but I am really excited about what's out there that I am missing.

Hello all!

I am in Central Florida (Orlando) and just started off-roading and overlanding (1.5 years)

My rig is a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon with a 3.5” lift and 37” tires.

My 2-door doesn’t leave much room for accessories, so I am currently looking for a decent trailer set-up to take the kids on many adventures.
