Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Brett- Asha- & Aunt Bea]

Hi All, new member. Living in north Berkeley 1/2 the time, just north of Calistoga the other half. I have a pretty well tricked out '82 Westy with lift kit, off road springs - shocks - tires, wench, bitchin sound system, 300Watts of solar, 150 Amp hours battery storage, full tool kit, spare parts, fridge that serves as a mini bar basically, 2 burner range, water tank & sink, twin bed below and queen bed in the pop top. Basically, an off grid "Glamper". I'm somewhere between a novice and a expert, not a rock crawler, but I can get anywhere I wanna go and a sweet rig to have in your crew. This bus is a beast! A sweet, sweet beast. :)

So far the LR3/LR4 and Lexus LX/GX have peaked my interest. But something along that size. I’ll have to take a peak at the rally point and see what days the trips are, hopefully I can make it out for some soon!

we frequently have trail runs just pop up closer to the weekend. You can't go wrong with either of those selections. one of our members @Charles Drives Things has a GX build he's currently working on.

I’ve got a ton more research to do before I pull the trigger on something. As for the trips is it okay to join for portions of the trip? I work a 48/96 schedule so my off days rotate throughout the month.

It's absolutely fine! We occasionally have a trip where we will be moving each night which can make it more challenging to link up but I have a satellite communicator for those purposes. The upcoming trip in Sept to ouray we will be base camping which should make it easier to join. Just ask whoever is leading the trip and I'm sure we can figure out something to make things work !

Hello all,

Location: Turlock, CA
Vehicle: 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

I am new here, just signed up. I've already utilized the map on here to save a few overland spots I plan to check out in the Plumas National Forest the weekend of the 30th.

I don't have anything special done to my Jeep yet, but it's in the works and handles almost anything I've thrown at it so far. I have a Jeep JL Sahara.

Look forward to meeting you sometime at a rally!

Hey all, my name is Julius but I go by Jules. I’m not new to overlanding, but new to the site. So far all my adventures have been in my 2014 F800GS. But I’ve decided to sell that and restart with something with four wheels. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll be replacing the bike with but I’m open to suggestions! I’m located south of Denver, CO. Looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully being able to learn a lot from the forum.

Hello Outlanders :)

I'm Jim from Fremont, CA. and I'm excited to be here. I recently bought my first Jeep, (2021 Gladiator) and i couldn't be any happier with it. Still so so so much to learn, do i wave, do i not wave, can they even see me? lol. I've had FJ-40s in the past and those were great but i haven't had a 4x4 in over 20 years so there's that. I feel so green again with regards to off-roading. i just need to get out there on those bunny slopes for a while. Overlanding looks like an awesome excuse to trick out our vehicles, hang out with cool peoples and camp more so I'm all for that... Hope to see you out and about on your adventures

Take Care
