Hello!
My name is Jeff C. and I currently live in San Diego, California.
I drive a 2015 Silverado Z71 with a 2" leveling kit and 33" KO2. Outside of that, I have not done any other modifications to the truck. Next week I am excited to install a Max Modular 14" Bedrack, Tuff Stuff Ranger 3 Tent, and what seems to be an "overland pros" 270 batwing awning (bought it off craigslist for a heck of a deal). I also have a Smittybuilt 12000 lb winch (tow hitch mount), traction boards, and a 12V air compressor. I specifically bought things I could take off my truck because of my work commute (77 miles a day). I may even change to one of the new V6 Diesel (GMC/RAM) or hybrid gladiator one day. The ultimate goal, however, is to be able to drive to and from work with my truck while still being able to go on Overlanding adventures to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
I am a complete novice with Overlanding, but I grew up in North Texas camping, hunting, fishing, off-roading, and your run of the mill general adventuring. Despite this "outdoors experience", I am under no illusion that I have any skill set higher than a complete novice. When time permits, I am looking to go to an offroad driving course to help build my skillset. Some skills I have obtained during my 18 years in the Marine Corps include navigation, medical care, and all-around adaptability will most likely prove to be beneficial in my future adventures.
For my family, Overlanding started about 5-6 months ago when my wife and I took a random trip to Anza Borrego to view the comet that was passing through. At that time all I had was a cooler and an air mattress but I was hooked! I forgot how much I missed the desert and my wife loved being in the outdoors. Since then I have been researching and picking up items here and there that I feel I would like to have in order to get out to where I want to go. One of the great things I've noticed about Overlanding is that I don't need much to get started, I just need some stuff to go further. I'm happy to be a part of this community and I look forward to meeting many people enjoying the same thirst for adventure.

Hello James (@2A_Overland ) welcome from Oklahoma and another XJ owner.
Kent covered my typical links but I will note that prior to the pandemic there was a regular meet up in the Gilbert area. When things return to some form of normalcy hopefully they will get started again so keep an eye out for future info.

Hey everyone! My name is Tyler McLuen. I’m 20 years old and I live in Phoenix Arizona. I’m a desert rat! I drive a 2000 Toyota 4Runner and I love it! I love the desert and exploring it. It’s under appreciated in my opinion, and it’s full of creatures and plants that are more than cool. I have a decent community of off-roaders here in Phoenix but not many “overlanders” as I am. I can’t wait to meet some new people to overland with!

Hey guys, my name is Tyler Nunn (30), live in Albuquerque, NM. My Rig is a 2016 Ram 1500 with minimal modifications so far. I have a camper shield with self built lockable drawers in the bed of the truck and running on BF Goodyear 275/65 All Terrain tires. First, upgrade I’m looking to do will be replacing running boards with rock-sliders. I look forward to meeting those in the community and hopefully hit the trails with some people.

Hello! My name is Josh and I'm Excited to be Part of the Group.
Location - Wisconsin
Rig - None Currently. Sold my Jeep Rubicon last year and now have a Bronco on Order and will get delivery on that (fingers crossed) mid 2021.
Experience - Zero Overland Experience, but I grew up camping, hiking, etc. and also love cars, modifications, etc. This combines 2 interests of mine and I'm ready to get started.
Thanks!

newbie here, bought a 96 land rover discovery 1 with a 5spd and 210k miles on it over the summer. After some basic maintenance and building a wooden platform in the back for storage and sleeping I've been absolutely loving it. Pic below was taken during a camping trip on ocracoke island NC in September.
