Hello everyone. Really glad to be introducing myself to this fantastic community.

Name: Martin
Location: Dubai
Rig: Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit V8 (ruggedised )

I’m currently building up my rig to take on more local vehicle dependant exploration of UAE and Oman. I had big plans for last year but this was put on hold due to travel restrictions.

Now though I’m looking forward to the borders to opening up soon and getting my WK2 ready to explore and find adventure.

Hello Martin, welcome to the OB community, thanks for the pics.

Hello, my name is Dustin.
Location: Southern California
Rig: 2020 Jeep Compass Trailhawk (wife has a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee that might be a better overlanding vehicle lol)
Experience: none? I’m new so I am still learning and am very anxious to get out there.

Hello Dustin, welcome to the OB community. You should never put your actual address out there on the net, just a word of advise.

It must have pulled from my order.

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...View attachment 192941

Hello Clark, welcome from Phoenix.

Welcome. I’m heading out to New River mid month to pick up a buddy for yet another of our expeditions. Do you have any favorite way points between sant Cruz and New River? My plan is to spend a few days getting out there.

Thanks, Clark

Hi Clark, nice rig and looks like a great home on wheels you’ve dialed in for yourself. I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Pleasanton CA there is a meet up on the second Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active. The Tri-Valley (Pleasanton) group has 2021 all planned out and you can see the plan under the second post in our thread.

Our next meet up will be April 11th, 1-3pm. Below is a link to the meet up page and thread with information.

This is the regular meet up info:

Name: John
Location: Peoria, Arizona
Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Commander (Project Resurrection)
Experience: Novice

Saved this Commander from heading into a junkyard. Bit off more than I can chew with this project but I've been known to do things the hard way. Soon the Commander will have all new suspension that I've been able to find for it. Hope to meet some on the trails once the rig is trail ready.

Hi folks, I'm just getting started on a 2018 Outlander PHEV for camping and softroading in addition to being a daily in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate NY. I'd love ideas about places in the NE to take my 2 teens for off-grid camping and exploring.

Hello Clark, if you have not run anything in Sedona try Broken Arrow and or Schnebly Hill, both have outstanding views, best run on weekdays otherwise way too much traffic as they both are very popular. Depending on your vehicle capabilities the back way to Crown King is a challenge. Senator highway from Prescott to Crown King is not hard and you do not need a highly modified vehicle.
