Hi folks. My wife and I are retired teachers, and have traveled the world in rental vehicles, sometimes staying in hotels, and sometimes camping. With the pandemic making travel difficult, we decided to buy a 2021 Jeep Gladiator, and outfit it for travel. It is so much easier to travel in the JT, rather than in than my 1984 CJ7. We drove the JT to Alaska, and the Artic Ocean from California last summer. As parts become easier to buy, we have dreams of driving through Latin America, and Africa. Let's see what happens.

Hey everyone, just joined from the San Francisco Bay Area,. I definitely want to connect with other Overlanders in the local area. Currently building a very special 4x4 E350 Van, of my own design, as it is my profession.

Looking forward to sharing it with everyone.

Howdy Folks,

My name is Sean Funch and I am a novice overlander with a love for first-gen Tacomas. I am actually still looking for my first rig but I am taking a look at a serious rig tomorrow and will report back my findings. I am located in the East Bay Area, California and I look forward to meeting some of you!

Welcome aboard Sean! Good luck on the rig hunt, never settle for anything less than what you want. Can't wait to hear about your choice!
