Dave here! Located in the Raleigh NC area. Brand new to Overlanding. I have been wanting to get into it for years. Just picked up a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Let the mods begin.

I am a fabricator of sorts and I'd like to think I am pretty inventive too. I am looking forward to designing some of my own mods and gear.

Hello Dave, welcome from Phoenix, I look forward to seeing the build in pics.

Bryan & Susan here: We live in southern Arizona, just south of Tucson. While in years past we had a highly modified 4Runner and did a lot of off-road and SAR in the Mojave, age & health have slowed me down some. We've got a Ram 3500 SRW 4x4 with a Lance camper that, so far, has handled everything we've asked it to do. Love exploring still and very much into photography/videography. We may be too tame for most on this forum but we're still game!

Hello Bryan and Susan, never too tame, that is my stage also, welcome from Phoenix.

Hello
I just joined and already feel I could spend a lot of time here. I am Chris, I live in the metro detroit Michigan area. Back in the day I and my friends used to do a lot of four wheeling around lower and upper Michigan. Back then I drove a pretty nice 1976 F250.
Happy to be getting back into it with my son. We have been working on our new rigs over the past six months. Now I am running a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder. My son is running a 2014 Xterra. We have put on 2” lifts, 32” tires, bumper modifications, on board air, lights and winches? Great way to spend time and money with my son.
I have enjoyed reading forums. Can’t wait to get out and do some over-landing.
Chris

Hi new overlander here just got a tablet looking for a holder for my jeep any ideas also looking for ideas on cb attenas

Hello Gregory, welcome from Phoenix, I would suggest you wipe your actual address from the site and go with just your city.
I use ICS-FAB.com dash mount for my solutions, but I have a 4Runner.

Hello, my name is Joshua Parker. I live in Riverside, California. Originally from Carlotta ,California. My family and I enjoy camping and traveling as much as possible. Our rig is a heavy/long 2021 Ram 2500 megacab diesel. I can off-road too much, but I can tow just about anything. Will be upgrading suspension as soon as parts are available. Looking forward to meeting new fellow travelers and learning as much as I can.

Hello.

Found this site while doing some research on a couple of overland trailers I've been investigating, Turtleback Expedition and the OGT Expedition 2.0. I like what I've seen so far so I signed up to continue mining info about those trailers before making a decision.

Thanks to all who've contributed their experiences with each trailer as it's extremely valuable for folks like me when you have limited opportunity to see these trailers in person for a proper inspection.

Great build platform. I like the way the stock bumper works with the winch.

Good Morning, Just applied for membership. A few things about me. A few things about me, Hmmm, let see what is worth telling. I am retired from the US Navy Submarine Force, and then I retired from the US Forest Service where I worked in Washington, Montana and Oregon. Managed a few fire camps over the years in most of the western states.

I have had a jeep of some sorts since 83. Wheeled in all the western states some place or the other. Every thing from a 56 cj5 to a 05 tj. I am right now working on a deal for a 16 JKU. I prefer jeeps.

Now days my wife and I like to find a secluded spot to camp and for me to do a little flyfishing which I am not very good at but I do catch one once in a while by pure luck or chance. lol. WE have a particular spot that we go to on the Wynoochee River that is right down the kind of camping we really like. We no longer have a M416 trailer with a tent on top. Just a tent camper now but we are looking for something else that will give us a little more comfort in the wilds of the woods and that search continues. Here is a few pictures of our quiet place on the wynoochee.
