Hello OB fam! I'm a new member and just got our new rig set up for exploration.

We've got a 2018 Subaru Forester XT Touring with some minor modifications, mainly centered around capability and protection. This goal for this car is to be a great daily, great for long road trips, and to be just capable enough to get to 99% of places that we want to go. It's not a rock crawler or a hard core trail rig, and that's what we want!

Getting the Fozzy ready for our first expedition. We're leaving tomorrow for Fayetteville -> Vail -> Santa Fe > Fayetteville.

Trips like this were the main inspiration for buying the Forester. Preparations include 1.5" Anderson Design & Fabrication lift kit, Primitive Racing full skid plates, Hankook Dynapro AT-M all terrains, Yakima Racks bars and cargo carrier, plenty of power cords and a converter, and my self-organized mix of recovery and emergency supplies tucked away in the back.


The rig:
Hello and welcome to the OB crew..great looking rig and look forward to seeing your adventures

Welcome to OB
Both the Tacoma and your CRF are great for the job.
Thank you for your service sir.

Hello everyone,
My name is Jonathan M. Coleman. I am completely new to overlanding and I cannot wait to get out there and get started. However I first need to get a vehicle that at least has four-wheel drive. I'm currently driving my 1995 Ford F-150 XLT with a 5-liter V8 motor. Any other questions I'll be glad to answer and I look forward to getting the chance to go overlanding with y'all.

What is going on OB! My name is Jamil and I am from AZ. I've had the privilege of exploring quite a few areas in AZ and have fairly recently ventured to CA to see what the state has to offer. The rig is a 2017 Chevy Colorado which has proven to be immensely dependable and more importantly capable. I have quite a few mods to the truck, but most notable being the Fox 2.5 coilovers and Dirt King Fabrication UCA. Looking forward to future trips with the crew

Hey Jamil
Walcowe to OB! That's a great looking rig and what's more important is that it's dependable. All the best in future treks!
