View attachment 42519 View attachment 42520 Hey everyone!
Location : Chicago Illinois Area
Vehicles: 1998 4runner Limited, 2011 BMW G650GS
Lots of experience off roading, and remote camping.

I work as a full time mechanic, and part time EMT. I’ve loved camping my whole life, and off roading since the day I could drive. I’ve owned a couple Wranglers, and a couple XJ’s over the years, but so far my favorite has been my 4runner. Im excited to learn from all the members here, and hear about some cool vehicles, and travel stories.
Hello and welcome to the OB crew..great looking rigs and look forward to seeing your adventures

Hi, my name is Ken. I am from Middle TN and started doing some overlanding a couple years ago. I've been an outdoor enthusiast for years though. Currently about to start building an 18' T4R TRD Off-road. Previously owned a 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro, 2008 FJ Crusier and a few other Toyotas. Glad to be a member on here.

Hi all. I finally decided to throw my hat in the ring after perusing this site many times over the years. I love the outdoors and hitting the back roads and moderate trails with my current rig, a 2011 F250 Superduty with the 6.7 diesel. The mountains and rivers of Colorado and the western states are where I enjoy exploring. View attachment 42638
Hello and welcome to the OB crew..Good looking rig and look forward to seeing your adventures

Hi everyone!
I used to be Active Duty Army as a medic for 12 years but wanted to slow down and enjoy life a bit more. I'm currently with a National Guard unit in Oregon and living out of an RV with my wife, Andrea, and our three dogs, two which are Bernese Mountain Dogs and a German Shepherd/ Greyhound Mix.
I am new to Overlanding and really excited to try it out and slowly getting my wife in on this new hobby.
A few months before I left Georgia, I bought a 1989 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer (which my wife and I rightly named "Ghost" and have been slowly upgrading to make it more "us".
We am traveling around the country but currently in Salem, Oregon.
Hello and welcome to the OB crew...Good looking jeep and look forward to seeing your build and adventures..thank you for your service and sacrifice my PNW neighbor
