Hi All,

Rahul here, from Dubai.

Super excited to be part of this community. My rig currently consist of a 2017 Ford Ranger 3.2 (mainly) and a 2015 Suzuki Jimny 1.3. None are prepped (except decent tires) , but both my boys all capable enough to get me around UAE.

Been adventurous ever since getting my drivers license in 2014, but now realize there is more to just going over dunes after following this community online.

Looking forward to learning and being part of this community.

Regards
RP

Welcome from San Dimas, California USA. I like the Suzuki, it is novel for the USA, they no longer bring them to the USA.

Hey Gang,

Just getting started here. I've been camping, hiking, and fishing all my life and got the overlanding bug about 2 yrs ago before I knew it had a name. Anyhow, glad to be a part of the community and look forward to learning and sharing with you all. I drive a 97 Tacoma SR5 with a high top camper shell that is an ongoing project. I call her Goldie and have outfitted the bed with drawers and a sleeper system.
I am in Central Texas and love trips to the coast, hill country, or Big Bend. Feel free to ask anything.

Hello from the PNW! Somewhat new to overlanding, but an avid hiker, backpack and outdoor adventurer.

Recently bought a 2021 Tacoma and the first week of ownership went on a 7,000 mile adventure from Seattle to San Antonio camping and exploring 7 national parks along the way. Met a few local overland folks this weekend that pointed me here!
