Hello everyone. I'm James. I have been overlanding by hitching a ride with friends for several years and finally decided to get into the game for real. I have a 5th gen Toyota 4Runner that I'm starting to build up for a "someday" trip from Utah to Cabo and back, camping along the shores of Baja California. In the mean-time I'm learning just how capable this machine is... and it has already blown my mind a few times (over elephant hill in Canyonlands in the first 200 miles I put on it, etc.).

Rig: 5th gen Toyota 4Runner
Lift: 3 inch "lift and level" with spacers only
Rock sliders: Shrockworks
Front bumper: C4 Fabrication Lo Pro w/ Extreme LED lightbar and Smittybilt X20 winch
Rack: Front Runner Slimline II
Headlights: Xenon Depot Xtreme LED Pro (those factory lights were useless)
Skidplates: factory today, RCI raw aluminum when I get around to installing them
Rooftop Tent: soon (23zero)

Im new here. I'm a teenager whos interested in off roading and overlanding. Ive done backpacking for a little while and thought overlanding is backpacking combined with off roading. Which is awesome.
Ive never done any serious off roading. But I drive a 2003 F150 supercrew, with the off road package. With yokohama geolander at/s tires on stock rims.
Im from northern indiana, so there isnt really any good off roading or overlanding anywhere close. But learning is always the first step right?
Ive been a boy scout since i was 7 and I will be an eagle by the end of this year. My dad used to overland and off road a lot but he's gotten old and no fun :) I've pretty much been obsessively learning everything i possible can about overlanding and off road driving. And i nust want the ability to learn from some old timers too. And maybe make some friends.
Thanks a ton.

Hello, my name is Jay. I’ve only learned of Overlanding today. It has struck a nerve, (childhood camping memories kicking in). I’m going to pick up a truck next weekend. I’m flying to Washington to pick it up and driving it back to Arizona. Unfortunately it is completely stock so the return trip will not be as fun as I would like and I will have to fight the urges.( It will still be a great trip.) I will keep you all updated on the transformation of the truck and look forward to getting great advise from everybody.

Welcome

My name is Mike, want to say hey from San Antonio Tx. Had my first introduction to overlanding back in the 80’s with a group of friends. I’m wanting to get back into the outdoors and explore again. My daily driver is an ‘06 Suburban 2500, that I’ve been preparing for some off-road adventuring.

 

[Verticalwolf]

I’m still working on getting my 2004 Jeep Wrangler prepared for the journey hopefully I’ll have it ready by March 2019. Hard to say where I’m from I currently have one foot in NY and one in IL, but don’t plan on setting roots in either. I used to work on commercial hvac traveling the Midwest and east coast to help during disasters or open an office in another area. I ended up living in NY for a few years before I started working on commercial food equipment for the food network. I ended up getting injured on the job and really missed traveling so the past 4 yrs has been difficult stuck looking at the same 4 walls. I’m ready to set out and see the rest of this continent before beginning my travels to see rest of world.

Hi everyone!

My name is James. I'm brand new to overlanding having logged exactly 0 hours on the trail. I retired from the Army a few years ago and have just recently gotten to a point in my recovery where I feel I can return to mother nature. I used to be deeeeeeply involved in backpacking and mountain biking prior to my injuries. Since then I've had to give it all up because of physical limitations. I stumbled across overlanding a while back and thought this would be the perfect way to get back some of that adventure. I recently returned to work after a long recovery and school to become a nurse so I finally have the time and money to indulge myself.

I am the proud new owner (owned it for two whole days now!) of a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad 4X4 that I have big plans for. I also got my HAM license [KI7SYF) in expectation of the day I would build out my overland vehicle. My son-in-law and I are designing a rack system that we will fabricate on our own to get the whole thing going. I'm eager to get out and damage my paint job a bit just to say I have finally arrived. We hope to be outfitted completely and ready for the big boy trips in the spring.

Looking forward to meeting anyone in the Fort Lewis area. I'm in Dupont, spitting distance from I-5 and JBLM main gate.

Howdy everyone,

I'm from Auburn CA and drive a 2016 Jeep Willy's. No mods yet, I want to get some hands-on and good advice from those with experience before deciding what mods I want to make. Plus it's my daily driver/work commute vehicle and will need to function as such for the next 2yrs 7months and a few days then it's retirement time :-)
No real Overlanding experience but grew up 4 wheeling/camping around northern CA. Actually learned to drive in an old International Harvester pick up truck on the trails around the American river. Still camp as an adult but mostly in regular campgrounds. My husband and I attended our first meeting on Sat. hosted by Reno Overlanding with education on fixing flats in the field provided by Sierra Foothills Overlanders. So many nice people and good information. We are looking forward to our first Overlanding trip and getting back to nature on a regular basis.
