Howdy! Liz from DFW Texas here. Just joined/paid but we’ve been camping for decades. We’re more interested now in the ability to get away from state parks when camping and moving into overlanding. Slowly putting together our rig, which is based on a 2x4 2015 Tacoma.

Location: Germany - NRW - Herford

Rig: 2006 - Ford E350 - Super Duty - 6.0 Diesel - Bulletproof - 4x4 by UJoint - Poptop CCV
I buy this Van 2021 in Poland and work since them to make this to an Overland Rig. New Interieur with Kitchen and Hob, Heater, new elektrik, New Rims and Tires, New Box on the Back with Planache Grill, LPG Gas Tank for cooking, Roofrack, Solar etc. All is DIY. Unfortunately we are still not finished.

Overlanding Experience Background:
My wife and i travel since 1999 trought Europe. Not fulltime but we travel every holiday when the Kids have no school. First with Car, than Vans, RV´s, and finaly a Caravan. In September 2019 we buy the first 4x4, a VW T5 Seikel, we put a lot of money in this thing to convert it into a Overland Rig. But it was to small and the Offroad properties are not so good. So we decide to change to the E350. It was the right decision.

Hello Orkan, welcome to the OB family.

Thank you for accepting me. I am interested in overlanding but I am a complete newbie. I have a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 HD that is a 4WD that is only used for the street. I am interested in upgrading and converting it to take off- road. For now I will be reading and listening.
