Hello from Arizona! My name is Matt and I drive a 1999 Toyota 4runner. I think I created an account about a year ago and have been lurking ever since. I finally pulled the trigger and became a member. I'm going to do my best to come out of my shell and try to contribute and learn from others.

I really appreciate the community and what is promoted around here!

Matt

Hello all!

Obviously, I am new here so I'll start with my name. I am Jacob Scott Kelley. Call me Jacob or Scott, I should respond to both. Scott Milk is my online name since I like milk for some reason (and there ain't nothin wrong with that). I am an Eagle Scout that loves the outdoors. I am in Flagstaff AZ but considering I just graduated from mechanical engineering online (COVID) at NAU, I probably won't be here long since there isn't much for engineering jobs here. Starting my sophomore year, I started using my spring break to go on a camping road trip to various places like canyon lands, arches, zion, grand canyon, bryce canyon, etc. with many other in between places. I never really planned where I would camp but just find places when evening came along. At the time I had no idea it was called overlanding. With many other weekend trips around Flag I came to be fairly capable in my truck.

My first vehicle, and only so far, is my 2004 Toyota Tundra double cab limited edition V8 2WD. Ye, only 2WD, but it was a crackin deal when I got it back in high school and I didn't really know much about cars and off road. I have built the front bumper, put a winch in (for when I do occasionally get stuck)[not pictured], light bar because I like night driving, and a leveling kit for just a tad more clearance and looks good. Otherwise stock and planning to build a topper very soon. Oh, and I tried to make a custom grill but it kinda turned out bad, but will change one day. The build is never done.

Hi all from Westbury Wiltshire in the UK, current vehicle is a Land Rover Discovery 3 HSE 2008.
Past vehicles Denfender 110 1988 and a Freelander 2.
Discovery 3 is named "Doris"
My old Defender 110 was named by daughter "Kiity" and that is where the name came from for our blog Kittylandrover.co.uk.
I was toying with the idea of becoming a member after following the YouTube channel so ive taken the plunge and look forward to new adventures.

Good Afternoon all!

My name is Antonio and I'm from the Bay Area, CA.

I own a 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro in Army Green. I'm a beginner when it comes to Overlanding/Camping but quickly learning. Here's some photos of my rig from my recent trip to Mojave Rd. I'm still stock but have a lot of plans to make my rig more capable!
Welcome to Overland Bound Antonio.
Don't hesitate to message your Regional Director @Narbob if you have any questions. For local information about trips and meet-ups contact your NorCal Member Representatives; Bay Area @PapaDave.
