Hi everyone! I just signed up to join the OB group and I'm very excited about it!
Some info about me:
My name is Sarah. My pup Moulson is usually my trusty co-pilot when my boyfriend Kevin is not in town. He's really the one who has turned me on to adventuring and offroading. We are huge campers and explorers so getting my 4Runner has been an extra bonus for us!
1) Picture: See attached...my pup tends to make cameos in a lot of my pictures so far! :)
2) Location: I'm located in Tempe, AZ. I do a lot of travelling up to Northern AZ and to Orange County, CA.
3) Rig: 2017 Toyota 4Runner Sr5...yes, they matter too, haha!
4) Experience: I am very much a novice when it comes to my overlanding experience. I have always been an outdoors girl who likes to travel in and out of the country. Since I have gotten my 4Runner, I have been non-stop travelling and trying to find trails that I can play on. I'm still stock everything but am really hoping joining this group can give me some tips and tricks to mods. I'm hoping to at least get a new suspension system, tires, and wheels soon. Gotta start off slow though since I picked an expensive hobby! :) I look forward to meeting everyone and getting some guidance along the way! Cheers!

Hello Sarah from the Inland Empire. Welcome to OB, nice rig and pup! I am just the opposite of you...I live in SoCal and make semi-annual trips to AZ. Look for the photo sharing forum to showcase that photobombing pup...I am sure Moulson will be a hit. Catch on the trails someday!
My name is Cody Chumbley, I am a 35 year old from Weatherford, Texas. My rig is a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara Edition. I would consider myself a novice in overlanding but well more experienced in backpacking. I am just now getting into this world and am excited to see where it take my 2 boys, my wife, and I to.

Hey everyone,
I recently picked up a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road with the intention of slowly outfitting it to take my family overlanding. For now we will just throw everything in the bed and hit the trail. I am new to overlanding. I have done my fair share of rock crawling but am tired of breaking my rigs. I look forward to the adventures ahead. Oh yeah, I am in the North Dallas area.

Hello black-Z71-bowtie from the Inland Empire. Welcome to OB! Isn't it nice to relax on the beach with your rig right next to you. The family and I recently paid Pismo Beach a visit and it was awesome that they still let vehicles out there. See ya out on the trails brother!

Hey Jake, I follow your YouTube channel, say hi to Annie for me! If you are ever in Florida we should hit the croom trails. Also a few spots to drive onto the beach by my house in Jacksonville.
Thanks, it was cool to hear the ranger tell me to find a spot to park and hang out with a beer or wine and start a fire, nothing like that in OC, $20 to park within a mile from the beach, CRAZY!!!
