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.

Well, I recently retired from the Army after serving 20 years. My time in the Army was spent doing the things Army guys do.

I love the outdoors, and want to get back into the woods, travel, and appreciate some of the things I missed out on enjoying. If there are any service members out there, they may agree that military service can and will take the fun out of everything.

Just bought a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4. It's my daily driver that will serve as a overloading/ bug out vehicle. That being said my approach to modifying it will take some time. That being said, I recently bought a CBI truck bed cage from CBI Fabrication Off Road. It is going to take some time getting to me, once I have it I will be posting the video.

I have many passions, or it should be better said as interest. I feel that the Tacoma will tie many of those interests together. Taking photos, video drone, biking, and travel are just some of the many interest I have.

I live in Florida, and excited to be able to get out and enjoy the landscape, camp, travel, and explore.

Hi Everyone! My name is Atsushi (OB8888). I reside in the SF Bay Area and my current rig is a 1997 Lexus LX450.

Hi everyone! Excited to be part of this group and learn as much as I can.
Ride: 2009 Subaru WRX (all systems go to purchase a Chevy ZR2 Bison in 2020 for REAL adventures)
Location: Knoxville TN currently, but the Rockies are calling my wife & I
I'm a life-long camper / fisherman / hiker and always loved cars. Growing up financially challenged, we repaired our vehicles out of necessity. Rally racing got my interests off the pavement, but as I've become a fan of survival tactics, ultra-light backpacking and planning to build a modern off-the-grid home in the mountains, we can't wait to get our outdoor loving 3/yo daughter overlanding and camping with us.
