Howzit, my name is Jon

Living out in Tracy, Ca at the moment

I drive an orange 2014 Subaru Crosstrek. Nothing much done to it aside from a set of Black Rhino Boxer wheels wrapped in Grabber at2’s.

Not much experience, mostly just small trails and mud pits.

Excited to meet some new people, and go on some new adventures!

Member since 2017, listen to the podcasts, and am now for 1st time taking a break to peruse the site. Looks great. Can't wait to dig into the Forums. I love overlanding and off-roading, and worked on a ranch in the west in earlier days, did a lot of offroading for work and LOVED it. Great job with OB.

I should have written this sooner, but I've spent the last hour or so going through your "tips" and "gear" archives. lol
We live in the San Antonio area and love camping. Decided to try and involve camping with travel and ended up looking into overlanding. We own an '08 FJ Cruiser and I'm in the process of building a small trailer to haul gear (got crowded in the FJ with the gear and our dog)
Looking forward to learning a lot and having fun.View attachment 137663View attachment 137667

Hello forum members. Name is Jason hailing from Pacifica, CA, and I have pretty much finished my build on my 2010 Wrangler Rubicon. Not much to do when it comes a electric sway bar disconnect, dual Dana 44s with e-lockers! Just a lift, wheels, tires, winch, and you're all set. Completed a trip through the Rubicon trail, solo through the spring melt. Just added a top notch iKamper RTT and built an overland trailer... voila, its an RV for my family.

Hello everyone!

My name is Howard and I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I'm a long time off-roader though I sold my Jeep a couple of years ago. I'm retired FROM the Air Force but still working Civil Service FOR the Air Force. I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 that I am slowly fixing up to do some overlanding with. I also ride a 2017 BMW GSA that I ride everywhere and anywhere!, off-road or on (more on than off :) I also love camping and the outdoors.

I look forward to learning new things from this forum!

Thanks!

Hello Everyone!

We are very new to Overlanding. We are awaiting the arrival of our vehicle so I don't have a picture of it yet. We currently live in the Pacific Northwest about an hour from the Canadian border and close to the ferry to the San Juan Islands.

Our rig is a 2020 GMC Savana 2500 van with a Quigley 4x4.

We're hoping to start our overlanding travels full time later this year in Australia. Still working out the details on how, etc. We have a caravan being built in Brisbane at the moment.

We are both retired and hoping to finally do some traveling that is not restricted by vacation times with jobs! It's going to be a great time and we look forward to meeting many of you along the way!

Hey all! My name is Cody and I live in central PA. I have traveled the world hiking, surviving, and training as an Infantryman in the Marine Corps. However, I am new to the Overlanding community. Shortly after getting out of the military I bought myself a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ) and set my sights on using it to explore and camp. I hope to learn a lot about the joys of overlanding from the folks here.

Hey everyone, I’m Frank. I live in the San Diego area and I’m relatively new to the whole overlanding scene. I have lots of experience backpacking and being outdoors, and I enjoy working on cars, which is what drew me to overlanding. I’m currently serving in the Marines, and my current vehicle is a 2006 Jeep Liberty. I think that about sums it up, I look forward to learning from the wealth of knowledge and experience in this community, thanks.
