Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Bad River Runner]

Hello. New member here. My name is Tony. I’m from Modesto CA. I drive a black 2015 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner with loving read differential, those have made an incredible difference when off road. I have very little Overlanding experience. I’ve done maybe 10 trips on relatively easy roads and lands over the last coupe years, having a 2x4 kinda limits me a lot. Didn’t even know about Overlanding until after having my truck for a year, now I want to do as much as I can, just gotta pick better lines and a lot of research on trails.

I’m a paramedic, father of two, HAM radio operator, woodworker, and fitness enthusiast.

I’ve got a Yaesu FTM-100dr in the truck and a Cobra 29 CB radio. I’ve got KO-2 A/T tires and I’m running stock everything, I still have 75,000 miles on my warranty on the truck and can’t do too much to my truck just yet. Might get a 4x4 so that’s also keeping me from doing much to my truck.

Can’t wait to meet people and hit the trails that I can though!

Very nice welcome to the team thank you for your service

 

[SJ.Overland]

Perfect, thanks!

Yeah took a look at them gotta figure out what the Wifey feels like doing. Figure we'll start for a shorter trip first come summer.

Hello fellow Overlanders,

My name is John and I live in the mid-West of Ireland.

I love the outdoor life and involve myself in various outdoor activities from Overlanding, Ham Radio portable and mobile operations, Scouting, Kayaking, Hillwalking, Camping, Geocaching etc... I'm also interested in outdoor First Aid and to date have certified to Rescue Emergency Care Level 4 and will be furthering my training.

This is my first time since 1999 not having a full time 4WD vehicle but am currently driving a small 4WD capable car until I get a Subaru Forester later this year. It won't stop me undertaking trips with my family and to that end I've been busy putting a box on a trailer to take all our gear so we can get out and about as much as possible this year.

I'm looking forward to interacting with you on the forum and love the YouTube content from this pretty amazing site and people.

Patiently awaiting my member number :)

Hello, I'm Darin Grzywa, friends call me Griz because they can't figure out my last name. I drive a 92 Jeep YJ that I haven't been able to part with since I bought her new in 2/92. This might be the year I upgrade. The 4 door didn't get my attention but 4 doors and a truck bed, yes please!

 

[WarHammer]

Just wanted to say hello.
We are from Utah
We have several vehicles that we use to explore but the one that we use the most is a pretty stock 2000 suburban.
Thank for having us along for this adventure.

 

[Mr. Fig]

Hello everyone. My Name is Angel Figueroa (Fig). I lost my travel trailer to a storm and decided to explore alternatives. Been captivated by overlanding since I have a 07 F150 and would love to take my Harley when I travel. I purchased a Cross Tread "renegade" bed rack to put it on top of the camper shell and then buy the RTT. I'm still undecided between the Tepui Autana and Smittybuilt 2883. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
