New to the group. Located in North Texas, but some truly scenic outlooks are just a few hours away. Anyone in the North Dallas area?

Hello all,

Running a 2006 LR3 in the South Central PA area. Spend most days up on the local mountains with dog. Wife and I would like to do longer trips as soon as I complete build. Anyone done TAT?

I spent 22 years in the Army so think of myself as a bit of an #overlanding wannabe champ....hahaha. Lots of living from back of vehicle and rucksack.

Looking forward to meeting/greeting/following like minded folks. Thanks!View attachment 101155View attachment 101160

Hi there. I’m new to 4x4 overland. Used to camp with a BMW 1200GSA. Just bought a 2016 Navara NP300 and want to start overlanding with it.
I am from Portugal, Lisbon so if you need anything from here, just tell me.

Ha, my name is Sam moving to Washington state in a few weeks. Love the outdoors, site seeing camping, fishing ect. Have been off road but not overlanding (I'm a novice just getting started). Looking forward to new experiences and new places. Have an F150 Supercrew, 6in lift and 35's so some trails will be tight, but plenty of room for me, the wife and our dog.

Hi, I'm Lee from Northern California. I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, she's never been in 4 wheel drive, which makes me a total novice, I am so looking forward to the overlanding experience

Hi, I'm Bill from the northern half of Georgia, USA. I don't have a rig, yet, and I'm a complete novice. Ideally I'd like to build an Aussie trayback build on a Gladiator or Power Wagon chassis but I'm very far from being able to do that.

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I’m located in Bulverde, Texas. My family and I are outdoor enthusiasts and recently discovered Overlanding. Just last week we picked up the sweet girl seen in the picture. I can’t wait to discover all there is to know about the overland lifestyle and look forward to getting to know you!

Hi there, my name is Chris and I'm currently located in central Iowa. My SO and I will be moving to San Diego CA at the end of the month - so we are looking forward to meeting some new like-minded people once we get settled.

I've been an outdoor enthusiast since I was little, but still new to overlanding. We will be looking for a new rig in the future... Currently set up with a 2018 Hyundai Elantra that did surprisingly well on a trip to UT last fall.

Looking forward to being a part of the community, and getting ideas for our future build!

Hi there -

my Name is Mike and I am located in eastern MA. I am just getting into overlanding after some significant time on the trails/rocks/mud in various wranglers. I recently picked up a 2012 FJ Cruiser TT edition and am starting to plan the build out. Always looking for advice and tips on things that work and dont work when it comes to the FJ platform.

Here is the FJ today:

I went down to my local 4wheelparts store and went with a Pro Comp 2.25” level. Looks great with the bigger KO2s I went with. The level has been holding up fine. I’ve had it for about a year now. I recently got back from a trip to Northern Georgia where I was off road a bit. Nothing crazy off-road, just some back country roads to go white water rafting and to get to our cabin.
Thanks! That seems like a realistic setup for me without a major investment.
