Hi I’m Casey.
I live in N.E. Georgia with my family, surrounded by nature away from the city. I am new to overlanding but not to the outdoors. Love hunting, fishing, primitive skills, or just walking trails with my kids. Just recently got myself a 2003 xterra. Just put 3” lift with warn locking hubs. Looking to get out riding trails with family. By the way I love this place.

I had an 05 Xterra that I absolutely loved. unfortunately it was only a 2 wheel drive so it had to go. I have been really tempted to pick up another one just for nostalgia sake.
Hello all!!
My rig is a 1988 Toyota pickup. I got it from a friend that his son had blown the engine. It's almost rebuilt. I have grown up camping but have only just got into overlanding. My wife and I love the outdoors. We even got married in the outdoors.
Please, if you have any question for me I'm more than happy to answer.
Oh, and I'm near Rodeo, New Mexico.

Hi Oldwestrig and welcome to OB! Nice rig! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!
Hello everyone. My name is Caleb. I live north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin near Port Washington. I've got this adorable 2016 Jeep Renegade.
I enjoy driving and I love camping so overlanding feels like a good fit. Most of my camping experience involves parking the cars and hiking/backpacking to where camp will be. My Renegade is evolving slowly as I try to figure out what it's strengths and weaknesses are.

Greetings from frigid Central New York.
Rig: 1996 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)
Grew up camping and fishing in Idaho/Montana and there-abouts. Love kayak fishing, and passing on what I was raised with to my two boys (6 and 7). Put the Jeep together for this purpose, and have just started introducing them to real camping. Won't lie, learning the areas in NY is challenging, but after a couple years of research I'm starting to build up a few places worth going. Not really a hard-core off road type, unless its getting me to someplace special to camp and fish.
My Jeep build has been mostly restoration with a light lift, snow capability, and outfitting for kayak fishing and towing a small popup.
Found the OB movement via youtube, been lurking a while - keeping an eye out for any Central New York activity. Also active in the Jeep forums.

Hi Jordan and welcome to OB! Nice looking XJ! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!
Hey everyone thanks for the all the replies! I don't know how to quote multiple posts so I'll just generally reply to everyone.
I would really like a 4runner as well but damn the prices are crazy for one.
I also used to have an 02 Xterra that I absolutely loved. But then was totalled. :( I got a 2016 Golf to replace it (with a beater or two in between). Figured I'd give better gas mileage and driving a go living in Ontario. My SO loved it so much she went out and got one too. Now moving to Alberta and finally being close to the mountains, I miss my 4x4. So I'm gonna be trading in the Golf, no point in having two right?!

Hello, Barclay here. I'm in the Los Angeles area, 2017 Wrangler JKU. Generally offroad anywhere between Anza Borrego up through mid-Cal, I make it out on average once a month. Sometimes solo, sometimes with a dog, sometimes with the girlfriend and both dogs. Moderately experienced.

Hi OB group...Andy from DFW here. I am currently between rigs, after my 4x4 Eddie Bauer Exploder nearly exploded on me (Didn't last 100 more miles, after I headed the warning noises from under the hood and sold it to the wrecking yard). Having the wife's Tribute transmission go out for the 4th time on the same day, put us in a spot to buy 2 'new to us', practical, vehicles on the same day. So while the vehicle envelope (Dave Ramsey) recharges, I am on here dreaming and wishing for more days in the mountains.

Hi Andy welcome to the community. From one newcomer to another, you are going to love it here.
Hello everyone, looking forward to meeting any and all of you. We are currently debating on taking our XJ or getting a different rig. Our future plan is to leave this November after hunting season and head for TDF! We're going to give it s 6 months and see how things go. Anybody roll an XJ all the way south before? Would be very interested in anyone who would be willing to meet up along the way. In any case here is what we are considering to modify for the trip or not. I'll say more later. Hello again!!!
