View attachment 43927 Hello everyone,

I’m Ken from Atlanta, Ga. I am new to the world of Overlanding, but I have been car camping for over 25 years. I look forward to learning from this group and maybe teaching someone a trick or two.

I currently drive a 2018 Toyota TRD Pro 4Runner that I’m in the process of outfitting. The windows are tinted and SSO side steps have been added.

I hope to meet y’all at different events around the US.

Hi Ken and welcome to OB! Nice looking 4Runner! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Hello All! Just wanted to introduce myself, as I have been a member for a minute, but tied up over the holidays and with my rig sitting for a while, getting some mods and awaiting parts (and paychecks). Now, Im getting ready to set out on another trip, and its about that time to join the community. Looking forward to sharing adventures with some of you guys and reach out from time to time regarding trail tips, and equipment advice.

Currently back and forth between NYC and south central PA/Northern Maryland. I am building a TRD Pro Tacoma, with ICON stage 4, timbren bumpstops, a few other things. my IG is @m.j.Guzzy, but I'm not that active there. Safe travels!!

Hello,
I'm Eric and live in the Tri-Cities, WA area. I'm a rookie to overlanding, but have done a little bit of off roading/wheeling/crawling. Nothing crazy. Joined to make some friends, go on some trips, and have a great time. I was in the military (Air Force) for 11 years, and now I work in a Federal position.

My rig is a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off Road Short Bed. The picture I attached was taken on New Years Day on a "Hangover Run." I have a lot of parts waiting to be installed, including OME lift, wheels, tires, Yakima RTT, onboard air, and I'm currently shopping for skid plates, sliders, and a bed rack. I bought this truck to make the overland rig, because my Jeep (WK2) is just not that great off-road. So far i've tested this truck on some local trails and some trails/logging roads in the Washougal area...Very satisfied with how it performs in stock trim.

Hello, I'm Curtis from Colorado. I've been back woods camping and four wheeling in many countries for years (plus 25yrs in the military) but I am fairly new to overlanding. Looking forward to getting more into it and getting to know some people.

I have two vehicles that I use:
2004 Dodge Ram 2500, 2" lift and many underbody and engine mods. Bed rack and pelican cases.I've been using this for the past 3 years.
2003 Disco II, just installed 3" lift and have been tightening up the mechanicals. I am looking to make this my go to rig. I have a winch, High Lift jack, and CRT RTT standing by and will be installing soon; roof rack, lights, bumpers...

Hello from Roseville CA.
My name is Jim and my wife Crystal and I have been active in the rock crawling community for several years and are now looking forward to some great adventures while meeting new friends in overlanding. I'm currently building a Colorado pickup since our trusty FJ40 is not well suited for higway travel, I'll post a build thread with photos when I get a little further along.
Now back to the shop so we'll be ready for spring!

 

[Gary Martz]

Location: Winchester, VA
Rig: 1983 Chevrolet K5 Blazer with a built small block and a LOT more modifications to go
Experience: Definitely not new to this but still have much to learn.
