My name is Clark... I live in Santa Cruz, CA. I've been overlanding for over 40 years... well we called it 4 wheeling then. Started with a '69 Landcruiser... slept under the stars and under the 'cruiser when it rained... yes, you heard that correctly... that was actually our planned place to sleep. Then went to a '75 Landrcruiser with a Chevy 350... until the higher RPMs spun some of the bearings in the stock 4 speed transmission, fixed it myself then sold it. Then to a 72 Chevy Blazer. At least I could sleep inside then... Now...

Now I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra Limited TRD with a custom All-Terrain camper... the first one they sold. I have it modified for me and I'll never sell it. It'll go most anywhere I ask.

I generally take my time at camping...traveling...and generally enjoying myself... retired Parks Administrator and business owner... currently spend time in my shop, in the yard and learning archery.

I'll try to attach a pic of the camper...

Hello everyone!

My location is in Puerto Rico.
Current Vehicle is a 2014 JKU.
In Overlanding Experience im a Novice. Learning more and more everyday.

 

[Iwata77]

I’m Adam, my Wife is Kathy, we’re very new to anything like this and a little overwhelmed. Looking forward to fellowship and meeting new people with similar interests. The idea of a weekend escape from civilization and hitting the trails sounds very refreshing. We have a fairly base 2014 JKU but have huge dreams for it! We’re near KCMO!

Welcome from NE OK Adam!

 

[Junogwat]

Wow! Great set up guys. I’m new to the scene. My name is Jesse from Houston tx. I have a 02 Toyota 4Runner 2wd that fell into my lap about 2 months ago.
Currently I flushed coolant, oil change, added some steering fluid and renewed the tags. Lol.
The real additions are.
New tires. ( kumho A/T tires )
Painted the oem wheels ( plasti dipped )
Yup that’s it.

Next week
Running board delete
Roof rack
New suspension
Bed liner the whole rig
Diy water containment with spigot
I think that’s it for one week.

And hopefully by May I can take a small trip somewhere close to home with my son and make some memories.
Here are some pictures of the rig. Will take new pics once she’s bed lined and racked up.

Howdy all! I’m a novice at off-roading and overlanding but excited to get started. A lot of outdoor experience even if it isn’t recent enough. Setting up a 2016 Wrangler JKU for a camping rig and hopefully some overlanding sooner rather than later. Traveling for work right now so the Jeep pic will get posted later.

Location: Rigelsville, PA
Rig: 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JKU

Hello Matthew, welcome to the community.

 

[freak4life]

Hello!

Everything overlanding I do is with my dad until I graduate high school, so that's what I mean when I say our car. We live in Oakland, CA. The whole family is very outdoorsy, but my dad and I got into overlanding mostly by ending up with this car about a year ago. A drunk driver totaled our Mazda CX-9 in November 2019 at a red light coming off a highway, and we found this great used 2013 Grand Cherokee, which besides being a great SUV for road trips, is pretty capable on Forest Service roads and medium off roading!

We are keeping it mostly stock so it's still practical for 80 mph highway cruising and running around town. We got tires (not displayed), and some protection underneath would be nice, but for now we know to turn around when it gets too technical.

View attachment 191998
There it is in Stanislaus NF right before winter with those old highway tires haha.

We have the camping part down from years and years of past trips, so now it's all about the exploring! We did much of Mendocino and Stanislaus NFs in 2020 and our first 2021 trip is going to be Death Valley. We're excited to learn more from you all!

Hello Elan, welcome to the community.

Hello all, just another noobie here!
Never even knew a community like this existed and but unlike other individuals im here to read/listen more than type/talk.

Dont have a pic yet, but theres not much too see currently(everything is stock)
I live in Dayton, OH
2014 subaru outback 2.5i premium
Complete noob, hoping to become a competent traveler someday.

First and foremost id like to connect with some fellow overlanders in the area about places to go,camp, and explore since the only place im aware of near me are the Hanging Rock OHV trails down in Wayne National Forest.

Second anyone who has the same rig as mine PLEASE feel free to message me about advice on as Im currently looking to get some kind of lift kit and rock sliders but have no idea what too look for. Im trying to explore North America with this thing over the next 5yrs so any and all pertinent info welcome.
Disclaimer: this is my DD (and im just a workin stiff like alot of us are), so I dont exactly have alotta $$$ to throw at it currently.

 

[freak4life]

Hello All! New to the forums but have been off-roading and overloading for awhile. Currently building out an 1984 Jeep Scrambler. Not the best picture below but, I'm working on the blue one and still driving the brownish one.
