Hi All,

My name's Tim and I recently moved to the Denver, CO area. I previously drove a 2wd Jeep Grand Cherokee back and forth across the US multiple times, but in reality II spent most of my time backpacking and parking on trailheads due to rig limitations. All things considered I took that thing pretty far. I'm slowly shifting to overlanding as a more immediately sustainable way to adventure on a day-to-day basis - and to live a bit more comfortably!

I drive a 2020 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. My suspension and tires are fully stock but I hope that can change... budget and labor limitations. I'm already enough of a camper that hauling supplies, mounting solar panels, and getting my camp setup tuned is a bigger priority to my budget, given that I wouldn't want to install the lift all by myself. I have a tonneau bed cover (came factory), bed rack, a thule cargo box (had previously), and now a prinsu roof rack for some lights, panels & mounting points.

Thanks for creating what looks like a great community! Can't wait to dive into overlanding

Hey Guys, I just found the group today doing some research, seems interesting and helpful. I drive a 97 jeep wrangler long armed, lifted and locked on 35s and beadlocks. ive been offroading for around 20 years, doing overlanding trips for the past 3-4. i live in Woodland,WA do most of my exploring around Mt St Helens, but occasionally get out to other areas, I went to Moab last year, and am going again in October. I do a lot of offroad recovery, mostly in the snow. I also run the Gambler 500 every year with a heavily modded crown vic on 32" tires.View attachment 146303View attachment 146304

Chuck, welcome from the North end of the state, Love the Crown Vic, have always wanted to do the Gambler,, looks like a blast. Hope to run into you at an event or on the trails this summer.

Hi all,

I'm Tim

Location: Kent, Ohio
Vehicle: 2017 Jeep JKU
Member# 8881

We (my wife and I) are very new to the 4x4 and overland stuff. As of now we are gathering equipment to embark on our first adventure once winter and COVID-19 are over. We are super exited to get out on some trails and get back to nature.

Currently our Jeep is unmodified, but slowly we will develop it into a more worthy off-roader.

Happy to be here!

Heya all! Frank here in the Las Vegas, Nevada Valley. I would say I'm still a beginner and just starting to be part of something I see as great! I look forward to expanding my horizons in meeting new people, trails, skills and experiences. My helpful machine is a 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road and I've been solo adventuring the Southwest since the purchase in mid 2018. Looking forward to learning, chatting and meeting y'all.

Here is from an overnight trip in Mormon Well Road, Nevada from this morning.

Hello everyone Kevin here from Wall Township, NJ. This is my 3rd Toyota and I have finally decided I am keeping this one and going to start rigging it for overland and camping to help while I'm fishing. I had a Jeep Wrangler back in the day and was always in the woods wheeling but now its to hard near my location. I'm also going to be starting a overland trailer build very soon.
