Hello to everyone. I have been interested in overlanding for a few years now. I have loved all the videos OB puts out. Got my Ranger to be a little different. Still slowly building as needed per trip of needs only first. That’s why I call it the catch22ranger the many undecided things to do.

Rig: 2006 Ford Ranger 4x4
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Experience: Army wheeled vehicle recovery specialist.
Hello and Welcome to the OB family!!

Brand new to the 4x4 Lifestyle. Looking to network with my local Overland community, in the middle of FlatLand Indiana.(20 minutes north of Indianapolis) Cutting fields and running fence lines is about the only overlanding I've seen. I want to cut my teeth on some of the easier things the Midwest has to offer. Then pilgrimage to Mojave desert for some bucket list type stuff. My adventurous spirit is big as the day is long, mostly two lane highway & two wheels. My name is Jason, my friends call me J. Always looking for the next adventure. From humble beginnings to the ends of the Earth, Have rig will travel.

Howdy everyone! Josh here.

Location: Northeast Texas
Vehicle: 2019 Ram Power Wagon
Overland Experience: Experienced
Why Overlanding: from a young age I’ve adventured the Southern forests and once I got my license I explored our wonderful public lands throughout the west. I’m a career wildland firefighter who spends tons of time in the wildlands with fire engines, ORUVs, and helicopters. My wife grew up in the city and has adopted the outdoor lifestyle with me with multiple trips in North America experiencing the great outdoors.
Glad to be here and looking forward to meeting likeminded folks.

Hey all!

I'm based in Glendale, AZ. Driving a 2015 4Runner SR5, usually with a Starcraft 17BH travel trailer in tow when I'm camping/overlanding. Had this setup for almost 3 years now, which is about all of the overlanding experience I have as well.

Looking forward to interacting with this group more!

Why Overlanding?: I want to see our great nation in detail, not just flying from destination to destination. Coast to coast, north to south, i want to see it from my truck /small trailer (maybe?lol) I want to wheel in the mountains, desert, firebreaks and goat trails lol. I'm getting the rig ready, and yes, i'll have questions.
