Vehicle: 2020 Jeep Gladiator
Overland Experience: ?
I grew up hunting, camping, and wheeling with my family, but this overland style of four wheeling is still somewhat new to me, and I'm still gathering all the gear to make everything smaller and lighter. I think my buddy has sent me links to this forum before, but I found it yesterday trying to look for tailgate trash carriers. I've been a gearhead for my whole life whether it be cars or trucks, but the whole Jeep thing is still somewhat new to me. I'm loving it though

I will upload a picture later.
I am currently station in New England and enjoy running through Maine and New Hampshire.
Recently got into Overlanding but have a lot of off road experience.
Currently drive a 1997 Wrangler TJ with a 3 inch lift.
I am a total noob when it comes to overlanding and will be taking my first real trip in February into the Maine North Woods with a group from work.

Hello! I am brand new to overlanding, but not to the outdoors. I live in birmingham, AL.

My rig is a not-yet-delivered 2022 4Runner TRD off-road. The only upgrade so far are some e-load K02’s that I ordered to go with it. I’d like to drive it for a bit before I start making mods.

I’m looking forward to hitting the trail!

Hello all my fellow wanderers!
My name is Tyson but I go by Ty, unless you’re on the trails with me and my friends who refer to me as “baby yoda” (because I’m only 4’11” tall lol!)
I was born and raised on the beach in Clearwater Florida and now reside in the foothills of north Georgia. I love to live my life outdoors!
My wife and I were blessed with 3 beautiful daughters who inherited my need for adventure (but thankfully they look like my wife lol)! So I am newer without at least one of my mini me copilots!
But my favorite copilot is my Doberman Goose!
My rig, Artemis, is my home away from home. She’s a 2019 4Runner SR5 premium. I love how unique we all make our rigs. Artemis is outfitted with a 3” Ironman suspension, Patagonia M/T shoes, Alpha equip rock sliders, ARTech and TRD underbelly protection and topped off with Diode Dynamics fog lights and KC Flex Era 3 ditch lights. And the inside reflects my funny and bright personality with my TRD red interior.
My experience in Overlanding began when I bought my 4Runner 2 years ago and I can’t get enough of it! To date all my travels have kept me finding new trails all over the south east, however I’m stoked that this year we will be venturing out to Colorado to conquer a few of the big name trails and add new badges to my rig!!!
I’m excited to learn new tips, trails and experience from other members in overland bound! Hope to see some of y’all out in the great outdoors!

Welcome. Great introduction Ty. I’m following you and maybe in the future I’ll see you out there on the trails!

Hi gang,
Definitely a newb when it comes to true overlanding. Rig is a 2013 FJ that has only been a daily driver on pavement up to this point. We have some trips planned for this summer into the Canadian shield but going to take it easy first bit and learn what our capabilities are not only with the FJ but with our bushcrafting.
The FJ is currently stock as I haven't had a need for any mods. We'll be outfitting with a RTT for frontcountry camping to start and then explore some free crown land options. Its been a while since we car camped so we'll have to get the rust off.

I live outside Windsor, Ontario. Nearest bit of crownland or significant terrain is at least 4hrs away (within the province). Hopefully when border crossing eases we will be up into the UP (Michigan).

Looking forward to learning from everyone.
Cheers!

Hello we have a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser and a 2016 Toyota 4Runner. We are new to Overlanding and we hope to learn a lot. We made the decision to jump into this adventure due to air travel restrictions, and we want to see more of this great country by exploring the back roads.

Location: West Harrison, Indiana... Timberview Acres
Current Vehicle: 1999 Toyota 4Runner Limited
Overland Experience: Beginner
Overlanding Interest: Well, that can be a long detailed story but in short, I love the outdoors. I am very mechanically inclined, I can fix about anything, or build about anything, so this overlanding adventure type of hobby if you will, made sense to me at my young age of 54. I feel like I got a little sidetracked in life with being so focused on work and I want to change all of that. I started watching you YouTubers like Lifestyle Overland, Expedition Overland etc etc and have been incredibly encouraged while watching that content. I wish I could quit my job, pack up the family, and go......:) For, one trip at a time!
