Hi there everyone, my name is Charlie and I live in Novato California. I’ve always made it a priority to get outdoors as much as possible. It even lead me to get rid of the old office tie one fateful day 15 years ago and pursue a job as a park ranger so I could be outdoors as much as possible. View attachment 89387

My newest priority in life are my two young boys. I want them to be able to experience the same amazing childhood that I did so that’s why I and making it a point to get them out adventuring at an early age. Camping has always been a love of mine but I am finding the campgrounds to be a little stuffy these days so overlanding has become the obvious choice to go out and experience new adventures with the family.

It’s amazing to see a community like this come together with a shared passion. I’m so impressed by the amount of time and energy people spend making their overlanding vehicles tailored to the type of experience they want to have in the great outdoors. As for me right, My stock 2015 Tacoma does the job I need it to. My main priority is to get the family out of town and crowded campgrounds and into a more adventuresome great outdoors. As I learn more and connect with other people, I’m sure our truck and adventures will change with time.

Happy Trails

I agree with you Charlie! Spend as much time with your boys when they are young, I spent more time at work while my boys were younger then I should have, however the times I did are some of the most memrable cherished times to date. Welcome to the comminuty!

Hello from North Central Indiana. I'll admit that I've never done any significant off-roading in my life, and the thought of camping outdoors has always seemed daunting to me. Well after seeing first hand some of the adventures that overlanding has brought, I was hooked! . Hoping to get out and explore more especially as my 2 sons get a little older. We picked up a 2003 LX470 recently and have been catching up the maintenance, should be starting on the overland build soon.

Glad to be a part of this community! So many great ideas and inspiration.

Hello all!

My name is Stephen...I don't have a rig as of yet but my old 08 Avalanche 2WD has taken my wife and I on a lot of adventures. It's my turn for a new vehicle when we get one so I'm hoping to have something to play with in the somewhat near future. I may also possibly try to rescue a '89 Grand Wagoneer that belonged to my late aunt and has just been sitting in a field on family property.

We recently moved to SW Colorado from Houston and are excited to start exploring! I've been lurking on the boards for a little bit and thought I should jump in. Excited to be here and learn from everyone's trial and errors!

Hi, I am Waka and I live in Tucson Az
Welcome, @Waka! I knew we'd get you on here at some point! I encourage you to consider creating a built thread documenting your trailer build. I think a bunch of people here would be interested in seeing how it was built and watching it evolve as the suspension work continues!

Hey Everyone! I have been looking for a better overlanding recourse and finally found you guys. I'm still on the F-150 forums for vehicle specific stuff, but their off-road activity is super limited.

Location: Concord (Bay Area) California

Rig: 2015 Ford F-150. She is my daily driver and do everything else vehicle, and I'm excited to see what else she can do. I have made some modifications to her over the last few years that include wheels, tires, suspension, skids and a few others. Always in the process of adding as my budget and experience allows. A rooftop tent and bed rack is in the works for this summer.

Overlanding Experience Background: I am newer to overlanding, but am somewhat experienced in the outdoors. I love to travel, camp, hunt, backpack, and everything water related, and I was also a Boy Scout. I'm super excited to learn as much as I can, and hopefully even help some other people in the process.
