Hello everyone. Travis here from Bellingham, WA. I have spent a lot of time in the woods. Until recently, a pickup has always simply been a way to haul your gear in/out. A couple years ago a good friend introduced me to the concept of Overland travel. Because of that, I have seen more new ground in the past couple years than the 10+ prior to that. So far, in addition to a ton of day trips and base camp trips, we have traveled the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (WABDR) Conconully to Canada with a return via Canada and an epic WA, OR, ID, WY, CO, MT, Yellowstone road trip. If the COVID conditions allow it, we have WABDR Conconully to Ellensburg planned for June and a northern BC trip planned for July/August. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hey everyone, Bryan here. I’ve got a 2016 Toyota Tacoma that’s an overbuilt mall crawler at this point and I’m looking to get into the overlanding game. I love camping and I love my truck so I look forward to getting the ice and the dogs out camping together. I’m in the eastern NC area and once these travel restrictions are lifted I’m hoping to go east for some beach camping and west or north for the mountains. I look forward to learning a lot from everyone!

Hello everyone, my name is Brian. I drive a 2014 Chevy Silverado and am super SUPER new to overlanding, in fact my first trip is actually supposed to be in August and I am looking for some help building my rig... I'm starting from stock (aside from aftermarket trailering system). I'm hoping for some advice from other Silverado drivers on what type of lift/suspension upgrades to go with, semi-enclosed racks, engine or gear upgrades, etc... Thank you in advance!

Hi gang,

I just moved to Vancouver, BC by driving my Wrangler across Canada and now that I'm settled in, I'm starting to look for my community to go overlanding with. I have lots of experience tooling around the deserts of California, and looking for a crew to explore BC with.

Hey Everyone!
My name is James and I’ve been overlanding for a few years now. Started with a 17 Tacoma and upgraded pretty quickly after that to my
Ram 2500 CTD. Really just needed the extra space. The power is addictive too, just sayin

I’m based out of Mansfield TX, just south of Dallas/Ft Worth. I love going up into Oklahoma to explore but New Mexico is on my short list of places to visit.

Truck mods for those who care:
Thuren Fab level with fox shocks and track bar
35” tires on 17” method wheels
Diamond back cover with front runner track/rack
CVT RTT
68 gallon aux diesel tank from attatank
Baja Designs fog kit and BD a-pillar lights.
Aev SPod setup

Hey everyone, Squattro here!

Location: Northern Virgina
Current Vehicle: 2006 LR3
Other Vehicle: 2012 Audi S4
Overland Experience: Novice
Why Overlanding? I'm getting ready to go out of the country for work later this year and looking for a new hobby to help with relaxation and such. I always enjoyed camping, so why not add to that!

Hello. New to overland camping but a vet camper/hiker and married to a formally educated Naturalist/Park Ranger so hopefully this is just an extension of our comfort zone. Our goal is to take short (1-ish week trips) in the short term and longer adventures at some point in the future.

I hope to find overland advice, information, inspiration and maybe even make a few friends along the way.

The truck is just getting into shape but I hope it will be a solid and capable platform for future adventure and discovery.

South East Tennessee here. Excited to be on board! Just starting out, well kind of. I've been around outdoors and camping and off-roading for many years, I guess before the term Overlanding was coined, we just went. Thanks for having me and my family!

Lloyd aka Frogg and Angie aka Wildcat. We have two children ages 15 and 8.


The Family ride! 2019 T4r TRD ORP. Suspension upgrades in the garage and coming...update once installed. Waiting on my tire decision. I can't make up my mind between AT or MT for the Family ride. Those dunflops gotta go!!

Maiden voyage to Gauley River Area, WV.

We got the rack and the RTT installed and had the maiden sleep in the back forty due to quarantine closures!

Hello Bradley, welcome to the OB community. I lived in the Grand Rapids area for nearly 20 years but I can't place Waterford Township. Where in the State is that?

Hey guys! New member as of today. I live in Aurora, Colorado. Frequent camper, traveler, hiker, kayaker, anything outdoors. I have a 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk that I'm wanting to build out to travel more efficiently and better with! I joined so I can learn from those with more experience than me.

Thanks!View attachment 155279

Hi, Gary. Thanks for the welcome. Waterford is just West of Pontiac in the northwest Detroit metro area. Right on the edge of where the city turns into the sticks. I spend some time on the west side of the state regularly and really enjoy the north west part of the state.

Hello Brian, welcome to the OB community. Nice to have another Silverado as part of the crew, but mine is a 1988 so I can't help with any of your questions.
