Hay all... I guess I should have done this a while ago but live always seems to get in the way. Anyways here I go..

1) Picture!
This was on a day we were asked to help with a "new" bridge on a trail that had been abandoned. The trail had been given up and was in really bad shape. Lots of mud and water but only one time winching.


2) Location (General area is fine)
GTA Ontario Canada

3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
1999 Jeep Cherokee (CherOcar) with 4l (over 300 k km) and 242 transfer case. 3" lift with 33" MTs. Front winch bumper with winch. Snorkel (has been water tested more then a few times). Upgraded head lights as well as off-road lights. Custom toolbox with room for parts and recovery gear in the back.

4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
This is really hard to say. I have been doing Overlanding since long before it was a thing. We have traveled across Canada more times then I can count as a kid and stayed in more off track areas then I can remember. More recently we have been doing more trails then back roads but still love the camping side of travel. With getting older we have slowed down and started glamping more. ;)

Hello I am Jeremy,

I live in Rio Rancho NM

My Jeep is a 2008 Jeep JK X with total 4.75 inches of lift and im about to put the 37s back on it, right now the 4x4 is down so i have to keep it pretty tame but i have a rubicon 44 that i need to set up the gears and swap into it. Ive been four wheeling in some form or another my entire life I grew up in western Colorado so there was never a shortage of things to get out and explore it was mostly day trips but we did hole in the rock, and the rubicon when i was a kid

New member here, glad to have found such a great group to help me get more involved in Overlanding. Been four wheeling all my life, but excited for this new form of exploring and adventure. Look forward to participating in the conversations and the meeting fellow Overlanders!
