Hello Mike, welcome to the OB community.

 

[Big G]

Hi y'all, I'm Michael and come from Northwest Georgia. I'm kinda a novice to this but there's not that many trails around here like out west (That I know of). More or less a weekender for camping. I have a stock 2002 Tundra 2wd as a starting point. I am open to any and all ideas. Thanks.

Hello Michael, welcome to the OB community.

Hey everyone! I'm Howard, and I'll try to follow the OP's format closely!
1) Picture View attachment 151361
2) I'm moving soon to DFW area and look forward to exploring everything within driving distance, especially in the OK and AR areas.
3) My "Rig" is just a stock 2013 Subaru Forester, but it serves my needs well and I feel very blessed to own it!
4) Experience: I'm BRAND NEW TO THIS! Most of my travel experience has been foot-based travel. I have a just a handful of offroad driving experiences and have never completed an overland trip, so I'm a blank page in this regard.

I'm interested in learning all about well-planned, responsible overland travel. I am a brand new medical doctor interested in disaster relief and expeditionary medicine to remote areas, and though I'm a long way from being capable in those environments, I'd love to be connected with any members with experiences related to remote medicine.

Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to learning from you!

Hello Donnie, welcome to the OB community.

 

[Big G]

Hey guys! I live in Lancaster PA, but grew up in Utah on the trails. I'm running a 2004 Subaru Forester XS build, and loving it. I'm new to overlanding on my own, but grew up four wheeling in southern Utah, and going on excursions in other people's builds. Excited to get my kids out so they can enjoy the outdoors.

Hello Christopher, welcome to the OB community.

Howdy folks,


Miller from SC here. I’ve been dabbling in this for some years now, but the current pandemic has me pining for fields afar. Planning my great XC road trip for 2021 from the east coast to the Pacific and then making a left and driving on until Todos Santos. Currently have a full stable, though it’s probably time to part ways with my modestly built surf rig LC And focus full time on the 2019 4R. Starting with the shoes and working my way up, I’ve got a pretty decent idea of what I’m going for but still flexible as to the finished project. Look forward to connecting!

Hello Miller, welcome to the OB community.

Hi, New to group, and I look forward to networking with some great people. Looks like there is tons of good info here!
Location: Maui, Hawaii
Current Vehicle: 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport
Overland Experience: Novice
Rooftop Tent: Tuffstuff Delta and soon adding iKamper SKYCAMP 2.0
Why Overlanding?: Exploring Hawaii off the typical tourist trail is more my style. I love to be out in nature in Hawaii. the island features so many microclimates form the obvious warm beaches to very cold at 10,000 feet of the summit.
