Hello OB Community - Just moved back to TX (Cen TX) after retiring from 45 yr career as a corporate pilot, with last 22 yrs in San Francisco area. Have taken a serious interest in the concept of Overlanding, and starting to fit out my 2003 F-350 4x4. I know it's not the ideal platform for technical trails, but it's what I have. Planning for 35 - 37" tires, slight lift, HD front bumper w/17,000# winch, batwing awning, and rear spare tire swing mount. I plan to DIY my camper shell with bed platform, 30 gal potable water, and DC battery system w/solar panels. I'll start with an ice box, but plan for a DC refer if all goes well. I welcome informed advice, as I feel my way along. After this bug passes, I'd welcome the opportunity to meet other Overlanders, and maybe join in for some traveling fun. Thank you.

How's it going everyone!

My name is Alec Nguyen (pronounced 'win')

I'm located about an hour East of Los Angeles.

Currently driving a 2019 Tacoma. Traded in my 2011 Raptor last year for it due to it not really fitting our lifestyle.

My wife and I are pretty new to overlanding itself; but we both come from big off-roading and camping families. Extremely excited to start this new chapter and experience. Glad to have found this community to help guide our way.

*I'll upload a picture of the rig tomorrow, currently installing a new RTT*

My name is Eloy Diaz. I have a 1992 Land Cruiser. I just started off roading and love it. I’m interested in getting together with people to explorer and find new trials around Northeast Ga or surrounding areas.

Hello all. I'm John from Phoenix, AZ. I thought I'd replace my 10 year old Ridgeline with a new Jeep, but I'm going to wait for a bit. I can't risk a new vehicle payment during uncertain economic times. I joined up anyway so I can lurk and dream.

Hello!

My name is Erik and I’m located in Orange County, CA. My overland rig is a 2007 Lexus GX470. I have been off roading and camping off and on most of my life. Planning on relocating to the Lincoln, NE area but those plans are on hold for now. Hoping to get back outside soon and meet some new people.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the forum.

I got interested in overlanding after I bought my 1992 Toyota Pickup 4x4. I have been watching a lot of overlanding videos.
I have been modifying the toyota and it's semi ready for a major road trip.
I am based in SF Bay Area.

Hello James, welcome to the OB commnity.

 

[Big G]

Hello everyone! I'm from Windsor Wisconsin. My wife and I have camped and backpacked all over the U.S and Canada. We just recently started overlanding. I run a 2011 Jeep JKU. I look forward to getting to know people and attending get togethers!

Hello Dennis, welcome to the OB community.

 

[Big G]

Deb and Doug here, dreaming about when we can get back out into the wild!

We just joined and look forward to being inspired by a LOT of like-minded folks out there. We live in So Cal with our rescue Dobie Lucy, and have a little get-outta-the-city place up near Lake Tahoe, where we spend as much time as we can spare.

We have a 2014 JKU Rubicon X (stock), and are contemplating a few modifications to take on more challenging trails. We'd love to learn more about back-country adventures from those more experienced in off-roading. We're quite experienced with camping and backpacking, but haven't fully taken advantage of the Jeep's capabilities to get way off the beaten path.

We also have a 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40 that is a wonderful old beast, but isn't seeing quite as much action these days since getting the Jeep---we're considering getting her into someone's hands who might have more time for her, and trade for a Hiker Trailer to work towards realizing our plan of a 3-4 week road trip to Glacier National Park and everything in between.

Hope everyone is staying safe and well, and can't wait to get back out on the road!

Hello Deb and Doug, welcome to the OB community.

Howdy ya'll! My name is Tim. I have been hitting the trails most of my life, whether it be hiking or driving. Most of that has been in Florida and nothing technical. Just easy flat trail. I'm now in Tennessee and hitting the trails in my 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited LJ and having a blast! Since it's been a while since I've been on the trails and now on trails more technical than Florida, I'm going to say I'm only a novice. Here is a picture of my rig I'm slowly building.
