Welcome to Overland Bound Joe
If you post your question on the general or build pages I am sure you will get some traction, there are lots of Raptors that are being used as overland platforms.

Welcome to Overland Bound James
The FJ Cruiser is a great overlanding platform.

Hey all!
I live in the St Louis (MO) area, and just picked up a 2020 Chevy Silverado 4x4.
I chose a crew cab to fit the family and dogs in.
We're real excited about getting some overlanding under our belt!
I have experience camping, but I'll definitely be learning and building as I go.
This looks like a great group. Hope to see you all out there!

NC-Trooper- thanks so much! I have been camping forever, and I am a big mountain biker, but just getting started overlanding. I would love to hear about Uwharrie when it happens- I just went mountain biking down there last weekend. I look forward to getting connected. My rig is still being built but should be ready in a couple of weeks. I have been planning a trip for my son and I over Thanksgiving to Linville, Pisgah, and maybe Cataloochee and buzzards roost. I really look forward to getting connected to the community! Thanks for reaching out

Hi all of you out there!
My name is Ruud, but since that's sort of unpronounceable for the English speaking, let's keep it to Whoosh.
I consider myself to be a medium experienced terrain driver.
As for overlanding, I am gradually building up experience. For several years we (my wife and I) been bouncing around in mountainous terrain in Europe - highlights being Spain en Italy.
Our great plan to drive to Mongolia and back had to be postponed due to that nasty virus. Well, we did a tour instead through 9 countries all the way to southern Italy. Flexibility is the key.
My driving ambitions are more geared towards getting there (and back again) than in wrecking my rig by fun&games.
This year I have created my own build-in. After an extended design phase (detailed CAD) the building itself actually went quite smoothly. Proof, I think, that planning if often better than plungeing. The fact that it all worked well in the field turned out to be quite a relief ;-)
To give you a bit of a feel for our setup: we sleep in an AluCab roof top tent, and have a QuickPitch en-suite attached for privacy sensitive situations :-)
The rig we drive is an Iveco Massif (anyone own one?). It is outfitted with custom made rock sliders. Since the build-in it carries an extra 120 liters of diesel and 50 liters of water.
So far we're quite happy with the Massif's performance.
I'm quite willing to share any and all of my knowledge and experience - always for what it's worth, of course.
Even more than that, I'm quite willing to learn!
...oh, and please forgive the inevitable language-related errors and stupidities. It's not my mother's tongue...

Hello. My name is John, I am 43, Single, and I work at Ingram Micro ITAD.
My vehicle is a 1998 Chevy Blazer ZR2. When I got it, it already had a 2" body lift a roof rack, & 3" Exhaust w/ a Flowmaster, I'm looking to do more to it in the coming months. I just bought some lights and am about to start on building the front and rear bumpers and the rock sliders.
I live just outside of Fortville, IN.
I'm new to Overlanding. I came across some videos on YouTube and thought "I could do that"...plus, I need some adventure in my life. I find myself being cooped up all the time any more, so I'm looking to start getting out more.
I look forward to getting out there and having some fun and meeting some new people!
