Long time YouTube Channel Subsciber/lurker here in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I Decided to finally take the plunge and officially join your awesome ranks!

Traveling by vehicle has always been a part of my life, right from the beginning. Its evolved from the childhood camping tourist trips of my childhood, to motorcycle travels around the world, and even rally racing. For me, its always been about the journey over the destination.

Now in my mid 30s, I'm slowing down and enjoying the sights of the road as much as spraying gravel and catching air in my old Subaru. My fiance (an avid Jeep fan) doesn't love my motorcycle endeavors much, and thoroughly disapproves of dragging knees on a motorcycle trip. But we share a love of adventure, camping, and exploring. We would rather spend a night in the woods than in a hotel.

My previous lifted Subaru STi rally car would always eventually run out of ground clearance exploring off the beaten path, and force us to turn around. Our new Jeep Gladiator Rubicon seems up to any challenge we can throw at it (albeit, slowly), so we never have to wonder what is at the end of the road. We see a lot of adventurous trips and journeys in our future as we're building up and outfitting our JT for overlanding. As a professional mechanic and avid tuner, I think the building and planning is half the fun. I even taught my better half that "life is too short to stay stock"!

Phase 1 was Method Race wheels wrapped in 37s, a Warn bumper and winch, 1.5" spacer lift, rock rails, and a catback exhaust (because I'm a child). We are eagerly awaiting phase 2, which will be an RLD canopy for the bed, and a Roofnest Condor XL to top it with! We can't wait to hit the trails and make the most of 3 weeks off in September.

Hello all! I'm very new to the concept of overlanding but really like the idea of it, and am working to start getting my rig worthy.

Location: Maryland, close to Baltimore.
Rig: 1996 Ford Bronco, currently getting a powerplant change to a 4bt cummins diesel engine (it's almost done, build thread on another site).
Overlanding Experience: Is there something newer than Novice? Haha

Hey Lisa,
Welcome to the crew. Don't worry about your lack of "Overlanding" experience. It's just like commuting to work. Just with more gagets and gear.
