Hello Overland community. My name is Geno and I just joined the group here.

1) Here's a picture of the current status of my ride.

2) I'm located in Orlando FL.
3) I currently drive a 2019 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. Added a winch and lights. 3" lift coming soon.
4) I have lots of Overlanding Experience and have been doing that thing since before it was even called overlanding.

I hope I can connect with some locals and get out on the trails here in FL.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Will - I’m a newly hooked overlander excited to learn and meet fellow travelers from my neck of the woods. I’m based in Sacramento, CA.

I’m driving a new Jeep Rubicon and been slowly buying gear as I discover what I need. The rig is still stock but I expect that may change as I figure out my rig’s limits.

I grew up off-roading with my best friends’ family but have spent most of my adult life backpacking and bicycle touring so have a bit of outdoor experience and a lot lightweight gear that is slowly being replaced by overland gear. I’m too old now to sleep on ground mats so an RTT was an early purchase.

I would love to meet others in the Sacramento area and maybe plan a group trips. Any advice on getting started would be appreciated.

Will-

Thanks Kent,

Is there any chance he's even in Ontario :)

While I don't mind if there are very few Canadians on here, from looking through the threads I don't think I quite fit into these forums. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but even doing a search on Subaru I found very little information and the cars I did see are being lifted (which is cool but not in my price range).

I am looking for ideas of how to create a comfortable "tent" on the inside of the hatchback. On the web I've seen how to make a flat platform so when the seats are folded down the bump doesn't become an issue. I'm looking for those kinds of modifications on how to make that limited space more functional when it comes to "bed time" which would include things like shelves over the wheelwell or making cubbies and having power for cell phones/tablets etc. Even one of those tents that attach to the back of the car.

Pretty much all of my off-road and camping will be at worst on logging roads or unpaved roads but nothing too extreme where I'd require 30" off-road tires with a 2"+ lift etc. About the only thing I'd want along those lines is a skid plate just for some added protection.

My car will be my daily driver and only vehicle and am wanting to improve it's camping capabilities in the hope of possibly not even needing a tent.

Like I said, nothing major but maybe with some cool small builds to make the interior more functional as a sleeping quarters. Actually I'd even consider removing the back seats altogether for increased space but I don't think I've seen anyone do that.

While I'm not physically able to do these kinds of projects I can find people to help in that aspect. It's not that I'm old (well, I'm 48), it's just that my spine is about 100 year old haha.

I'll keep digging around just in case I'm missing something.

Thanks and don't get me wrong, this is an amazing site....but like most places I just don't quite fit in ;)

Hey there and Welcome. Did you check out the Subaru's Owners Thread? I'm sure someone there is willing to offer advice. Subaru Owners Registry

Hope this helps

I clumsily posted this in the wrong area earlier and i apologize but here it goes again. Hello all, I just signed up as an OB member and so glad to be here! I’m located in the Brazos Valley of TX, I’m currently building my latest rig: 06 Jeep commander (XK) 5.7L HEMI w/ QD2. So far I’ve added lift and tires and a few creature comforts. Hoping to add a roof rack and tent soon. I have a good bit of camping experience but still a novice at the overlanding thing. Any advice is always welcome! Hope to see you guys and gals on the trails!​
