My name is Scott, and I'm from south jersey. I drive a 2008 jeep jkur. I have been off roading and camping for years, only recently started to combine them.
Thanks Bouncer, like everything in life, it is a compromise for me...usable as a basic utility trailer for hauling stuff, but then it has off road capability and tons of storage for overlanding. Hoping the Baroud rtt will fit the way I envision it, and then I will post about it...once it's had a good test run
Sorry about my short hello yesterday but with all the repairs the utility companies are still doing here in NY my wireless likes to take a siesta whenever it likes.
Past rigs 86 Ramcharger
93 Jeep YJ
99 Jeep TJ
99 Dodge 2500
06 Jeep TJ
04 Jeep Gr Cherokee
Current 2012 Power Wagon Just ordered a topper and currently looking at either the “Decked Bed” storage system or building my own to get out and explore. All the previous rigs were built for 4-wheel use and some light pathfinder excursions. Now that I’m retired I really want to get out and enjoy our great out doors so any tips for building my rig are welcome. Thanks

Hello Everyone, my name is Mynor.
I live outside of Phoenix AZ
I overland in a 2008 FJ Cruiser modified to live out of it and an AT trailer for more leisurely trips with my Wife and Daughter.
I’ve been 4 wheeling and camping my entire life but now we know it as “overlanding”.
I look forward to meeting more good people with our common interest, learning from them and hopefully get to help someone along the way as we share our experiences.

I'm New to Overlanding; however, I grew up as a very active Boy Scout with extensive backpacking and outdoors experience and well over 500 miles hiked in my youth. Jumping into Overlanding as a way for myself and my girlfriend to travel and see more of the country. I've always been a vehicle enthusiast and so far the FJ has been one of my favorites to work on. Overlanding is proving to be a great way to combine both my passion for the outdoors and my interest in vehicles.
John, I’m in Orange County so I know Peekskill we’ll. Looking to get tips/info on the Overlanding and have plenty of knowledge for all you “Jeepers” out there as I have built 3 Wrangler rigs and several Grand Cherokee’s. Forgot to mention my other ride is a ‘14 Grand Cherokee with a modified “by me” Rocky Road kit I’ll get some pictures up as soon as my topper comes in for my Power Wagon.

Welcome.... now quit Goofing around and Doctor up that rig....
Hi! I'm not sure how many Canadians are on this site, I'm from Ontario, Canada which is vague I know, considering the sheer size of the province. I have always been a Mopar man, my grandfather started a Chrysler dealership in the sixties and it's been in the family ever since. I also have always been more a "hot rod"-er than an Overlander (I have a 2009 Challenger SRT). But this summer as a getaway with my wife and two young kids we went camping at one of Ontario's beautiful Provincial Parks. After one weekend we were hooked. Another step in to the Overland hobby was the purchase of a 2003 Lexus LX470. A friend of mine sold it to me, knowing very little about Toyota/Lexus he kept telling me how they "are guaranteed to last 25 years" and "it's basically a Land Cruiser". Either way I needed a 4WD family vehicle for the winter so I purchased it in September 2017. Well I'm smitten! This is THE best vehicle I've ever owned! My kids and I named it "Black Bear" for is large size and 4WD-go-anywhere capabilities. I only stumbled upon Overlanding last week, and am destined to turn Black Bear into true Overland rig. My goal this summer is to install a roof basket and hopefully a Tepui roof tent and start enjoying this beautiful country with my kids. I also live close enough that I want to explore Northern Michigan. I plan to use this site as a resource and as an Overland advisory. I'm open to all suggestions. I look forward to getting my official member number soon. All the best!
Hey Everyone! Glad to be a part of OB.

I am reading posts on Wranglers and 4runners as I'm shopping SUV's that my wife can drive and I can enjoy. Not much "overland" here in Hawaii, but there are a few cool spots and a lot of the paved roads here are so bad you almost need a truck to avoid damage.

Jim from Sagle, ID. I drive a 1982 Jeep Scrambler that I'm constantly working on and upgrading (It's a Jeep!!!). I have a Helder Welding trailer from the mid 70's/80's that also is being upgraded. I lived in SoCal for several years and did some off roading and pit crewing for a class 8 truck. Enjoy camping, ATV'ing, fishing and being outdoors.
