Hi All,

Always been overlanding with what we had until we built our rig pretty recently.

We drive a 2012 G 350 CDi


Location : Bayern, Germany

I would love to have a G550 here in the states, but they are still to proud of them. You can buy a really nice YOTA for the price of a really old G. Just love the look of these things.

Irony is, I was into yota's due to their reliability and cheap service but here in Germany, they are way too expensive.

Hi, I'm John. I have a 2014 Toyota Tacoma stock with 100,000 + miles. This will be the first rig that I have modified for overlanding. I now live in Delaware. Looking forward to some adventures!

Greeting! I'm Brick. Just moved out to Denver (via California via northern New York) with my wife and excited to explore the backcountry. Avid hiker / camper / backpacker but looking to expand horizons with overlanding. I have a 2001 4Runner Limited with 180K miles and a new transmission. Still stock but now that it's no longer my DD, I'm looking to add some capabilities.

Cheers!

Name is Brian

Location: Cleveland, OH
Rig: 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited which is basically stock for the moment.
Experience: I'm completely brand new to off-roading, overlanding and Jeep ownership. Haven't even been camping in probably 10 years so like a lot of people probably expressing interest this year due to our circumstances.

I'm ready to absorb as much knowledge an experience I can. My hope is by next spring I will be set up to start getting away for weekend trips and go from there

Hello! I am excited to join this adventurous community. I drive a 2014 FJ Cruiser, and have just started the process of getting it kitted out for camping and overlanding, both with my family and further photographic adventures without. I live in Leesburg, Virginia, but grew up learning about off-roading all over the Southwest in my first vehicle, a 1946 Willys CJ-2A. Retired military / helicopter pilot, so I know how to get into plenty of trouble. :wink:
