Hello everyone!

I am from the Salt Lake City, Utah area. I have always loved the outdoors and as my children are growing we have been more able to get out camping and hiking and I aspire to do more overlanding travel as they grow!
My current rig is a 2020 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid that is my daily driver. We are ground tent campers for now, looking to get a small trailer with a RTT to give us a few more comforts and ability to go further! I am definitely a novice when it comes to overlanding and off-road travel! I am a Nurse now but started out as an Air Force Medic, I love all things wilderness medicine and teaching/learning from others, I hope to continue to expand my knowledge and experience through this group!

Hello! My name is Steve G. I'm very interested in learning from all you folks that have done some offroading with a trailer. Mine isn't really setup to get into rough stuff, but I did take it up a few washed out roads this summer up here in the Pacific NW. Thanks for having me!

Greetings Steve and welcome to OB!

Hi All
Thanks for letting me join. While I’ve been a life long outdoors activity person, from hiking, backpacking, MTB to fishing and hunting, I’m relatively new to overlanding. I’m DFW based and as a family we have three fairly robust vehicles capable of reasonably technical overlanding. With that said, we are looking for opportunities to overland as a family and as part of a larger group. We are also looking for guided adventure, where we can learn best practice, effective use of equipment and sustainability practices.

My personal truck is a 2013 Land Rover LR4. I’ve made some modifications, including the OEM recommended Warn Winch. My desire is do some further modifications that include a swing bar for my spare tire, as well as interior mods to accommodate cooking, refrigeration etc. Some of these I can do by myself, but for some of the exterior mods I’m hopeful someone here can recommend a garage or someone who does high-quality work. I’m in the Grapevine (DFW) area and would welcome any recommendations. My son has a. 2017 4Runner TRD pro and he is looking to do some mods as well.

Again, nice to be here and look forward to future adventures.

Hey everyone. I made this account two years ago and I havent touched it since.
I live in lower Alabama with my family. I have a 05 2wd Toyota Tacoma Offroad that I'm looking to turn into a Overlanding rig. I"m just looking for some locals to hang out with and show me a few things so I can do some camping with my kids. Planning a trip to Big Bend in 2024 for the eclipse so we thought overlanding would get us a better view for some photos and some astrophotography that night.
