Hello Dominic, welcome to the OB community.

Location: Massachusetts
Current Vehicle: 2007 Lexus GX470
Overland Experience: Novice
Why Overlanding?: Have been car camping, backpacking, canoe camping for decades. I did some off-roading in XJs around Moab and in the southeast in the early 2000s.

We have a 23’ Outdoors RV trailer that we tow with a 2015 Suburban and camped about 40 nights last year. had a goal for more this year, but that will probably be difficult with COVID.

Family of 5: me, my wife and 3 boys (5 to 12 yo). We want to spend as much time in the outdoors as possible. We came across Expedition Overland and watched the first three seasons as a family over the winter, so here we are.

We found the GX already built for off-roading and felt like we got a great deal on it. Now we are working on building it out the rest of the way so that we can at least start some weekend trips. Excited to join the community.

HI!

Im pretty new to overlanding. I came across it while looking into truck camper builds, and this seems like a great community! I don't do any super long, off grid trips right now, but have done a couple weekend trips into state and national parks with my 2010 Nissan Frontier with an ARE toolbox on the bed. My truck is definitely a light duty, weekend warrior build currently, but will soon be built up to be a MEDIUM duty, weekend warrior build.

Thanks for listening and stay safe!

Hello everyone. I must have made an account awhile ago and gotten sidetracked before I checked things out, but I'm back to dive in now.

I'm from Fort Nelson, BC, Canada. It's a small town in northern BC, but I'm sure many of you have driven through as it is the last grocery store for quite a while on the Alaska Highway.

I drive a 2012 Tacoma that's quite modified and my wife has a 2007 FJ Cruiser that is much closer to stock (just a mild lift, 33s, skids and front bumper). The Tacoma is our main exploration vehicle, but I love how similar the maintenance is on the two vehicles and how many parts they have in common. It makes my life much easier. The FJ comes along when we're going deep into the Backcountry to provide some redundancy and peace of mind.

We have explored a good portion of our corner of the country and before we met I did more vehicle based adventuring into the US. We did a cross country trip a couple years ago, but we've been busy with work and masters degrees so we haven't been on a big trip in awhile. We're planning to get out there and do a trip to Tuk and Alaska this summer if the Covid-19 situation has improved by then.

I look forward to poking around to see what this community is all about

Hi All!

Cool site! Just got turned on to it by a fellow from Lubbock. I just bought his 17" rims to fit on my Sahara so I can finally ditch the P.O'.s too wide E rated 18's. Been around vehicles all my life, did a bit of road racing, fly airplanes, always wrenching on old motorcycles. Got the Jeep a few months ago since I always wanted one. Great fun so far!

Hey Everyone!

Mike here from San Diego. Found this forum originally from watching overloading YouTube videos!

I have a stock 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 classic 4x4 that I'm preparing to start building out. New wheels and tires come in next week.

Looking forward to learning from you all being a part of the community!

Mike
