[JBADwolf]

Hi, James BadWolf Here! I am located in Whidbey Island Where I get to explore the backroads in my 2018 TRD OFFRoad DCLB Taco. Keeping her pretty stock for now (decently potent from factory) as I dwindle down those payments, and working on a slow build as things break and are needed. I am a Husband and Father of One little adventurer. Novice to the Overland Game, but have been into 4x4ing for a while, been into everything actually. Owned a few drift cars in japan, got into touge in a couple MKII GTIs, a CRX, and then a full build Fiesta ST. Now back to being out in nature.

I love to Trail Run and MountainBike, and if it's on them trails... you may find me there!

I don't see much room for improvements in your rig that are obvious, she looks great. Good luck and welcome to OB and the forum.

[Sasquatch SC]

My name is Trey, I just joined up yesterday. I'm located in upstate SC and I have done a lot of stomping around in Appalachia of SC, NC, GA & TN but it has always been backpacking, camping, kayaking, and fishing. I have some offroad experience, but it was mostly just thrashing through the swamps around where I grew up - and it was basically just driving through mud holes. This is my first adventure in overlanding or riding any actual trails.

I'm starting with a fresh rig and I decided to go with something a little different than a Jeep or truck. I'm building a battlewagon!
2019 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring with all the trimmings.
So far I have added

Thule AeroBlade Edge Crossbars​

Thule Canyon XT Roof Basket​

Reese Towpower Class III Receiver​

2" Front Lift/1.5" Rear Lift​

Upgraded STI Rear Sway Bar​

Upgraded Adjustable Front End Links​

Sport Edition P3 17x7.5 Wheels​

29.5" Kuhmo AT51 Tires​

Inflatable 4 Ton Offroad Jack​

Portable Jump Starter Battery Pack​

Portable Air Compressor​

​

So basically it is ready to rock... but... I have no idea where to take it?

Hello all!

My name is "Burns" and I am completely new to "overlanding" in a vehicle, however I've been rolling across the country on a motorcycle for years. With my son getting older I sold the scoot and bought a jeep so we can enjoy the backroads and wilderness America has to offer together. Currently setting up our rig for more weekend gettaways and long term camping destinations, but still enjoy the offroad parks & trails as well. Speaking of our rig, we have a 2013 Jeep JKU that was pretty much stock when we picked it up. Since then we've added a winch, 3.5" Metalcloack Gamechanger Kit, with 35" Milestar Patagonias, and done a few interior upgrades as well. You can check out more pics on instagram at 3rd Degree Adventure (@3rd_degree_adv) • Instagram photos and videos We look forward to learning more about the adventure ahead!

Hello all. I am Paul. It's a pleasure being here. New to the off-roading world and excited to be here.
I purchased my truck on February 16 2019.
I bought this truck with only seeing it. I knew nothing about the running ability or anything else. There was no battery, ignition switch and the hood would not open.
1994 Chevy Silverado 4x4 K1500 TBI 5.7L

Since then I have got it running and I have been driving it daily. Little by little it will be completed rebuilt.

Hello Paul, you have a good start there. I think you should name it "Risky Business" because you bought it knowing nothing about it. Good luck and welcome to OB !

Welcome to Overland Bound James (@JBADwolf)! Whidbey Island is a great place home base with lots of access to great adventure. I know there are a few members in your area that are itching to hit the dirt road, so I recommend heading over to the NorthWest Region forum [link] to find out what is going on and get to know your neighbors. As events are planned, they will be posted up on the Rally Point System [link], so you might want to keep an eye on that as well.

I look forward to meeting you in person some day soon. Until then, if you need anything please feel free to send me a message on the forums @Jedi.

I have a modified 2018 Subaru Crosstrek.
I am located in SoCal and wonder all over.
I would consider myself a moderate overlander, in terms of experience. There is so much more I feel I need to learn.

Hi Mark, can I set up my tent in your backyard ? Seen any Bigfoot lately ? Why don't you wash that rig once in awhile ? Great looking rig, tell us more about it and what your up too.
