Actually, I need your help guys for what is the best place to buy new vehicle in the United state and how to avoid mistakes
You should ask this question in the general info or rig section of the forum to get more traction

I’m Wyatt, just came across this app and getting familiar with everything offered. I live in Grand Prairie, Tx by Joe Pool Lake. Currently trying to get some vacation time from work to head to the overland Expo West in Colorado. I own a 2015 Tacoma and just purchased my first rooftop tent and very interested in learning more and experiencing over landing.

Hi. I am slowly getting more into overlanding. I have a 2014 LR4 with the HD package.
My interest was sparked by a visit to the 2014 Overland Expo, however opportunities
have been limited until now. Life happens ;-). My current modifications are a Front Runner
short rack (wanted the sun roof unobstructed) , Johnson control rods, and a set of 18 inch Compomotive
wheels with Cooper ST/MAXX LT265/65R18 tires. Next on the list is a Tactical 4x4 rear bumper with
tire carrier, protection underneath, a new front bumper with winch.

Looking forward to learning from everyone.

Welcome to the community Dan! I'm on the Southwest side of Fort Collins. We are always doing runs all around Colorado to learn our rigs and our skills better and we have a number of longerish trips coming up as well as many to come. What's your comfort level currently? Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or need help wrenching on that lr4 !

Hi my name is Jacob, I live just outside Millville NJ. I've been into off roading my whole life mostly older trucks or jeeps. I'm finally convincing my wife to do some overlanding now that we have a brand new jeep gladiator that will be comfortable for longer trips. were looking to start on the Trans NJ Trail and expand from there with goals of doing the Trans America Trail.

Hello everyone! I'm new to the "Overlanding" world, but have been an adventurer my entire life. We always take the back roads and dirt roads when we can, and have some great stories of the adventures that have followed... A few highlights are our honeymoon 10 yrs ago when we accidentally ended up going over a washed out pass in CO, and last summer when we took our 4 kids around the US with a popup camper.

I'm currently building up a collection of properly equipped vintage Land Rovers and Landcruisers to provide a unique driving and camping experience for people. I've got a lot to learn from all you pros here, and look forward to being an active member of this community!

Hello, So I love the outdoors and would love to explore it more. I prefer places that are less traveled just because I enjoy them more. I don't know anyone that overlands just yet so I thought I would try this and hopefully gain a lot of experiances while meeting some like-minded people !!


1) Live in Irvine California
3) Toyota Tacoma off-road 2021
4) experience level ( i know how to drive and love road trips ) total beginner

Hi my name is Chris. I'm a Navy vet from KY but now I live in the mountains of western NC. I've been an outdoorsman my whole life but really want to give overlanding a try. Used to be big into offroad clubs but now as I'm getting older I just want to find me a trail and a campsite with a view. I plan on using my 17 Toyota Tacoma for overland duties.
