Hi all,

I grew up in Western Oregon and spent my childhood camping in the Cascade Mountains with my family. Job has moved me from Pennsylvania to Idaho where my wife and young daughters continued to explore and "get lost". I'm back again on the East Coast, and now trying to find the time and inspiration to get back out there.

Current Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL
Current Vehicle: 2002 Land Rover Disco II
Previous Vehicle: 1994 Ford F-150
Overland Experience: Novice to Intermediate

Hi All.

Chccking in from Knoxville, TN. Been a lurker on the forums for awhile. >:) Met some great Overland Bound folks at Expo East 2017 and decided to join up. I drive a 2016 Jeep Wrangler JKU. I've been a long time outdoors-man and camper, but when I bought the Jeep in 2016, things escalated quickly.... lol. I frequent Expedition Portal Forums as well. Still need to finish updating my profile and get my OB# number attached here, but working on it. I drive out of Knoxville, TN and help manage East Tennessee Overlanders.

Hey everyone,

I’m from Olympia Washington and just bought a 1989 Toyota pickup with 212k miles and don’t have much experience of overlanding other than driving on logging roads near town. My truck isn’t the prettiest but it runs like it got off the lot almost 30 years ago!IMG_2436.jpg

New member from Jeffco, CO. Have a 1986 Bronco II, new to the whole overlanding thing but was raised camping and backpacking and thought this would be another enjoyable thing to add into the mix. I'm looking forward to learning something new and enjoying whatever adventures this brings.

Hey everyone!
My name is Tosh. My wife Heather and I are new to overlanding, but have been avid outdoors folks for many years. I come from an emergency medic background, bit of search and rescue, ambulance paramedic, now a RN. So I can fix people, just never learned anything about fixing vehicles, but I wanna learn!!! I wanna try and do as many of the mods for my rig as I can. We are both excited to get more into overlanding now that we have a vehicle we can do it in. Got myself a 2011 4runner sr5 this year and have started making some modifications to it. Looking forward to some new adventures! Hope to see you all out there someday!
