Hey friends, new to forums here, but not new to automotive forum families, fabrication, camping or prepping. Excited to learn, build and share trail-time with some of you folks in the future. My rig is (becoming) a dual purpose daily—work truck and overland rig. The goal is build something cleverly capable and affordable......laughs at self*

Thanks @HEYElliott ! The Foz has done great actually. Everything from farm rutted fields to Colorado roads. Problem is space now even with the roof loaded down. Maybe I need a trailer....
Cheers, fun, and safety
Welcome to OB, let me know if you find the secret to 'affordable'vehicle mods lol
Have fun out there
Welcome to OB Andrew, that 6x6 is sweet. Not to mention the 2500 is always a good platform to work with.
Have fun out there
Welcome to OB Shawn, you may not think it counts as "Overlanding" but as long as youre getting out and enjoying nature it counts as a good day for me.
Welcome to OB Nikki hugh and Lily!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to clean up other peoples mess to make the outdoors more enjoyable for everyone else.
Have fun out there.
Hello all,
Newby here
Located in the mountains of southeastern Oklahoma, LeFlore county.
Camped and off roaded off and on for years, just now looking to getting started on overlanding. trying to decide what vehicle to start with, I have a 2000 2wd 4runner and wife drives a '08 4x4 Pathfinder. Judging by my available aftermarket options neither of those rigs are ideal. 2wd will cost too much to convert to 4x4 and aftermarket stuff for the Pathfinder is limited.
I own/operate a heavy equipment field service business so if anyone is down in my area and in a bind I should be able to help out, fill service truck with welder, torch, compressor, crane etc.
Now I'm trying to decide on a vehicle to start with....Xterra, 4runner, Tacoma, or Frontier. Guess I should also add we will be taking our two children with us as much as possible, they are 2 and 7. I lean more towards Nissan due to their cost. Open to suggestions! Thanks all, see ya out there

Hi folks,
Another newby

'95 FZJ80. New to me, appears to have lived life on paved roads - time for a new adventure.
Ran around the woods as a kid and want to do it again with my kids.

We live in Sherwood OR, currently running an LR3 with CVT RTT. Also have a Jeep CJ7. For years we ran a Fourwheel Popup Camper that I bought on CL for $800. Gutted it and rebuilt it. Finished it 2 days before our wedding. Honeymoon was spent in Yellowstone and the Tetons.
Looking for community and meaningful adventure!
Cheers

Howdy y'all,
Been following along for a while now, figured I'd treat myself after exams and finally join before my big trip this summer.
I'm from the mountains of western North Carolina, anything outside, I probably grew up doing it. Love it there; no place like it. I'm a geology student at NC State now, out in Raleigh, livin the high life of losing at all sports, except baseball and volleyball apparently. Love NC State, but I'm not good at living in the city. Helped kickstart a 4x4 club on campus, so thats cool I guess.
I drive a 2000 Jeep affectionate named El Jeepe my dad bought new and passed on to me when I graduated high school. I practically grew up in the thing and love it to death. My first truck was a 76 CJ5 rattle canned construction barrel orange, hence my name. I'll probably make a build thread on here at some point that has some more about me, but I won't bore y'all with that yet. I'm also on expo portal by the same name.

Hello OB! I’m excited to be part of this group with like-minded people. Vehicle assisted exploration and camping has always been a part of my life, and someday I look forward to passing that on to another generation. Anybody on here in Utah?

Welcome to OB!
Depending on where you plan on taking your vehicle I think the Pathfinder is a good option. Nice that you already own it too.
New to this forum. Think this will be my first post, actually! I grew up in Colorado, and around jeeps and various 4x4. Not new to the outdoors, camping, hiking, and wheeling. New to building overland, though! I've been a member of various jeep forums, with thousands of posts, but have slowly become more interested in being outdoors and learning the overland! I will be all ears for a while.
