How’s it going everybody! I’m Chris from Mississippi and I’m super excited to be a part of this group. I got a 2015 TRD Tacoma at the beginning of this year and I’m hoping to have it mostly finished by March of 22 for my Moab trip. Hope to meet some of you on journeys in the future!

Welcome to OB, Chris! We're glad to have you here. Good luck with the build and enjoy OB!

Hello,

My name is Jerry. From Los Angeles California. Fairly new to Overlanding. Learning new things as I go. My rig is a 2020 Subaru Forester Sport (still adding mods to it). Hope to learn more from y’all.

Welcome to OB, Jerry! We're glad to have you here. There's plenty to learn, we've got quite the wealth of information here. Enjoy!

Hi there, Trickster here. My first thought was to upgrade my 1999 7.3L / ZF-6 to 2008 F550 coil suspension.

As I researched the pros and cons I realized that the 1999 F350 frame was not reinforced to accommodate new stress point that the radius arms place behind the existing rear mount of the front springs.

So I bought a 2006 F550 2wd with a bad trans to stand up to the rigors that I will be putting this rig through.

As much as I love my 1999 with the legendary 7.3, the manual trans and electrically actuated NP273 transfer case, I need a better option for the purpose that this rig will be engineered to serve.

I will post progress pics in the appropriate section of the Forum so that whomever is interested can follow my progress.

Thanks.

Welcome to OB, Kirk! We're glad to have you here. Definitely excited to see how the build comes along. Enjoy!

Hey y'all, I'm out in Western Massachusetts with a 2013 Sahara JKU. I'm a relative novice but have completed two Jeep Trails of Honor - and too many bumpy Colorado trails for my liking. I'm not a rock crawler, haha. Currently looking to learn/find dispersed camping and adventures here at home, bonus if they're near good fly fishing spots. Neither our senior or 2-year-old dog like bouncing around, though, so definitely looking for camping along logging/forest roads - not trying to recreate the Jeep trails.

JeepJeep is on stock-sized all-terrain tires, has 90% undercarriage armor, rock sliders + Rubicon rails, winch, skid plate, exoskeleton rack and awning. Also have a very comprehensive camping setup but you know. There's always something to improve or tweak.

Welcome to OB, Landon! We're glad to have you here. Sounds like a heck of a rig already. Enjoy!

Hi all!

My name is James and I’m running a 2021 Jeep JLU Rubicon. It’s brand new so I’m working on upgrades. 35” tires came first because I had them. Then a Warn front bumper and winch and some lights. Next is some armor. But the plan is for 2.5-3” lift and 37” tires and a roof rack. My last rig was a 2017 JKU sport.

I’m from the west-central Texas area.

My wife and I are pretty new to over landing so we are still trying to perfect our gear list. But we do love to wheel the Jeep!

Welcome to OB, James! We're glad to have you here. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, new guy here obviously. I've had a bunch of vehicles over the years, most recent went from a Lexus IS, FJ Cruiser, Audi S5 and now a Tacoma Pro. When I had the FJ I never used it as intended and I am working on fixing that now. Just poking around here a while, decided to join up
