Hello, my name is James. I currently live in Altus, OK. I drive a 2007 GMC Sierra 2WD. It's my pavement princess. Since I started getting into overlanding, it really has proved to be a good truck. My wife and I have two boys, and a third on the way, so we really try to take our boys out to enjoy nature and everything it has to offer.
Hi James! Welcome from Tulsa

We have an Oklahoma sub-forum for more local chit chat Oklahoma overlanders where ya at?

Hello everybody. My name is John and I just became a new member. My choice of rig is a 2005 Nissan Xterra. Just added a Ironman 4 x4 suspension kit, MHT Fuel wheels and Pro Comp Xtreme tires.

Looking to expand my knowledge of overlanding with people that know the in's and out's.

My home base is Spokane WA.

As for my experience let's say one dirtbag trip though Southern ID in my other Xterra. So experience is close to zilch.xterra.jpgxterra.jpg

Hello. We live in Centralia, Washington. We spend most of our time exploring the SW Cascades of Wasington and sometimes venture to the Olympic Mts, the coast and Oregon.

Our vehicle is a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLUR. It's been an amazing vehicle for us to get out an explore. Just installed the Gobi Rack and RTT last weekend.

Joined the group to learn, share about all aspects of overlanding. See you soon out on the trail.

Hi everyone, I'm using my phone so I hope I'm doing it right:)

Anyways let me introduce myself, my name is Sebastian saury and is originally french but lived most of my life in Sweden, currently in the north together with my girlfriend and our 3 kids. I've been traveling all my life and always unplanned and just took day by day, done a lot of roadtrips but it was last summer everything begin. Me and my family was visiting my father in South of France, when we was going home we didn't want to take the fastest way home and ended up doing a 2 week roadtrip throu Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Czech, Austria, Germany and Poland, after that our interest in overlanding as a family was born.

Today we are back in France and are on our 3 week of overlanding, our rig is a wrangler with RTT and a very ugly homemade slide out kitchen.

We have lots of dreams and plans for future and hope to meet a lot of you guys:)

I'm in Glendale AZ, drive a 2015 JKUR, and I'm a novice to overlanding. I am figuring it out as I go but glad I found this group so I can learn more from others. I know I shouldn't, but I tend to go out on my own to explore.

Hello
I am new here my name is marshal, I currently drive a 2002 Chevy Tahoe she is your classic stock Tahoe but she gets the job done. I am from Minnesota and I have some experience over landing but I would say I’m more of a novice.

Thank you for letting me join this great group of people.
