Hello Everyone. I'm Ryan. My wife and I recently purchased a GX470 to dip our toes into overloading. We are just getting started. We both like photography and video production on a hobby level and look forward to combining these hobbies with overloading in the great outdoors. We are in the northern Utah area near Salt Lake City.

The GX. Still stock for now...

We also have a Ford Bronco on order and are excited for that to come.

Hello Everyone,
Name is Jose.
I live in HB, Orange County, California.
I've been an avid camper and backpacker for more than 10 years now,. I used to off road a lot in Baja, so when I found overlanding was the combination of 2 of my favorite things I had to get into it! Recently got a Tacoma and decided to get back into off-roading, Since I don't know many people that like doing this, here I am, and exited to be part of the group and go on some adventures.

New to overlanding but super excited to get involved with some adventures with my 2 dogs. My wheels are a 2008 Tacoma. Built a bed with drawers in the canopy last summer. Slowly stocking my camping gear and tricking out my stealth camping bedroom as I learn what is relevant and what is not. Located in beautiful British Columbia Canada

Hello Overlanders!

My Name is Adam, KC3MYO and yep, I’m also into amateur radio. I’m located PA and I drive a 2013 Honda Pilot which is just getting broken in with 135,000 miles of fun! The All terrain tires and my VHF/UHF radio have gotten me in too.. and out off just about as much trouble as I can create!

I’m new to the OB world so I’d consider my self a novice. Currently, when I’m not playing radio, my newly formed family and I are shifting the focus of our travelers from destination based, to journey centered. Which means I’ll probably sell the tent I currently have in exchange for something more... mobile.. .

Until we meet on the trail, free to reach out and 73s!

Adam
Hello Adam, welcome to the OB community. That's quite the tent.

Hello. Found this site on YouTube.
Location Eugene Oregon
Vehicle 1986 Ford F250 Extra Cab 4X4 Diesel (WIP) The pic is when my son borrowed it and it broke down. Doing lots of work to it.
After getting my license I would drive around a lot. Once I got my Toyota 4X4 I would get the old Forestry Maps go a ways up a highway find a road, look for the next one and try to find the longest way to get to it. Sometimes I would drive 30 or 40 miles to travel a mile up the road. Miss it so much.
