Hello everyone! James here. New to the overland community and am really exited to explore. Located in Beaverton, OR. Have a Go Rhino XRT rack with a hard top tent on an F150. Would love to see similar rigs and any suggestions on areas to explore. We did our first trip out to the Tillamook Forest.

Hey, everyone. My name is Alex and I live just outside of Athens, GA. I drive a 2020 Silverado 1500 Z71 with the Trail Boss 2" lift added after the factory. New to the overlanding world. Did a lot of camping when I was younger but looking forward to getting back out there. Always down to ride some dirt roads so hit me up.

Hi! I’m Abby! My husband Wes, our 2 year old black lab, Camee, and I are from Dayton, Ohio and are new to overlanding, but not necessarily to camping, the outdoors or off-roading/4x4 (we just increased the size of our our mode of transportation from 4 wheelers to an actual vehicle). We have a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon…but don’t ask me about the build specifics. Other than the decked drawer system and the Agricover Outlander soft top bed cover I don’t know anything about anything that came with or that has since been added to our rig. I’m one of the least mechanically or vehicle minded people you will ever meet…but I want to change that as we get more into this new adventure! I’m excited to be here and look forward to learning!

Overland Experience: Intermediate

Hello all. I used to do alot of car camping before getting married and then when the kids were little. Then I got more into backpacking, mostly doing trips in the mountains of NC/SC. Now the kids are much older and enjoying their own thing. The wife refuses to do any more camping unless we're in a travel trailer (thinks monsters will get her), but I enjoy NOT having a small apartment with me, so I still enjoy camping. I never really thought much about overlanding but after considering it, I've probably done more of that in camping from my truck or Jeep than anything. I'm semi-retired now and have much more time to get back into nature these days. I already have alot of equipment from camping and backpacking but I could stand to get a new sleeping shelter, as I'm beginning to consider more and more getting off the ground and onto a cot or other platform. The last time I went backpacking I noticed that I was not really enjoying the stiffness that accompanied getting up off the ground in the mornings. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy getting away from it all, but I've been interested in getting way back on forest roads and old logging paths in a vehicle to get away for a long time. It's alot easier on my back and knees when my truck carries most of the weight! I haven't really done much in the way of modifying my truck. It's my DD so I don't want to mess with it too much. The cargo capacity on these trucks is notoriously low and I'd rather spend my money when I NEED something, factoring weight, rather than for the cool factor. But it'll still get me back into the woods!

So I'm looking forward to learning from the members here and discovering some new places to go now that I have the time. I'm looking forward to being here!

Hi everyone, Justin here. I've had this account for a while but haven't posted before. I am in Yucca Valley, CA and have a moderately modified 2007 FJ Cruiser that I call the Yellow Submarine. I would say I'm fairly experienced, having done many overland trips through CA, AZ, NV, UT, OR and WA over the last 10 years.
