[jblinga]

New guy checking in. Currently reside in Salt Lake City, Utah. I've done 2 trips to the San Rafael Swell state park so far this year. White Rim Trail in Canyonlands already scheduled for Labor Day weekend. Would like to do the Skyline Drive trail soon, hopefully the snow has cleared enough. Picture above is at the top of Devil's Racetrack in San Rafael.

I drive a 2003 T4R, lifted 3" w/33's.

Well said T.lewis23. Its not about the newest rig or all the latest hardware. Not against any of that. Just not necessary.

Glad to be part of the forum.
We're in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia. Are in the desert most weekends from October through March and try to get in at least one week-long expedition into the deep Rub Al Khali each winter.
We run a 2015 Landcruiser 200 with OME and a host of overland upgrades.
Looking forward to exchanging experiences with everyone.

Hello everyone, I'm Nick
My Location: Atlanta GA
My Vehicle : Resto-mod 83 Chevy K10 - Evoke Grey Metallic
My Experience: Novice. I stumbled upon overlanding once the purpose of my resto-mod took a new turn. I had spent 2 years bringing my dad's old Chevy back from the dead , giving it a new power-plant and face lift, when I found overland bound. I grew up hiking, camping, fishing, and trail riding , so overlanding seems like a logical progression. At this point the truck is a 3 year work in progress, but after it's first trip appears to be very capable.

Hey I'm in Atlanta too and new to this forum. Very nice truck; do you have any places around Atlanta that you take it?

 

[Nehili_Nehili]

I am new to this and all forums.
From Atlanta
2011 fj cruiser
I try to go on adventures around town or anywhere in GA when possible. Camp, off road, etc. Looking for a fun crew.
Seems like most toyota owners are in CA, but if you're in GA hit me up :-)

 

[Faneius]

Hi All! I'm new to this and looking forward to learning from you all
I'm from in and around Portland, Oregon
My "Rig" is a little 2004 Pontiac Vibe AWD with a little utility trailer some times in tow
We've done plenty of campground camping and logging road exploration but we are looking to go deeper into the dirt and maybe scrape the paint up a bit.

Welcome to the forum! !!

I'm in the same boat as you are, I'm just starting to take the truck off road. Check out the guys @peachstateoverland, they do a few trail rides each year. They should have an ALS (fundraiser) ride coming up pretty soon. Also there are several people in the Atlanta area who are wanting to get a ride together, so maybe we can make this happen.

Hello All!

Just got the overland fever a couple of months ago on a road trip with my wife. It was a bit of a whirlwind trip but we wanted to hit as many National Parks as possible in an extended week. Basically a scouting trip for the future. The brief . . . Left home from Anaheim, Southern California to Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, Arches, Canyon Lands, Glennwood Springs (a little natural recharge), zig-zag through the Rockies and the Million Dollar Highway, Mesa Verde, Monument Valley and home. Mostly highway driving but we charged the dirt in the right places.

What a trip and we have at least 5 spots that are high on the list for our next adventure.

So next step is building out our rig. We have a 2008 crew cab Tacoma 4x4 TRD Sport, but there is not much Sport left. We are running a 2.5" Toytec lift with Bilstein 5100 and Eibach springs now and about ready to add a partial front bumper, winch, compressor and at minimum locker on the rear with front locker to follow soon. We are stocking up on all our other recovery gear and upgrading electrical and storage systems. Excited about building our Toy.

It is going to be a fairly stealth rig until I move forward on a rear bumper with a spare tire and cans. We are going to stay away from Frankensteining it.

I'll call myself an educated Novice. I run out north of Barstow a half dozen times a year and the same on the Big Bear trails. Always have done it with a lightly modified street vehicle like we have now, but Moab changed things. Laying down a lot of research time on gear that fits my philosophy of use.

Good to be part of the forum and look forward to meeting you all on the trails!

Good day! My name is Sean and I'm from Ontario, Canada. My vehicle of choice is a 2004 Jeep TJ Sahara that have been slowly custom building over the last 7 years. Considering my photography background, I fondly call my Jeep Ansel; after one if my role models Ansel Adams.

Ansel has joined me on various trips around my province of Ontario, through the farthest northern reaches of Quebec (Hudson Bay area), through various states (New York, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Pennsylvania, Virgina, Kentucky, etc)

Currently I am planning a long through (4-6 months) that will take me west through Canada to British Columbia, then south through Washington, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico and back into Texas. I have been lucky that my professional gives me the ability to travel long periods of time.

I look forward to hopefully met many of the Overland Bound members as I make my way through North America.

Cheers,

Sean

View attachment 27128 Hi all,
We're Eric and Jeanette. We travel and work full time in our RV, towing our 2006 Jeep Liberty diesel ( 2" OME lift, BFG KO2, sliders, skids, lock-right ) to get farther away when we need to. We haven't done a lot of overnight trips, but we've probably done 50+ off road excursions.
We're looking forward to some more trips this year, with the White Rim Trail scheduled for September and some overnights around Christmas.

Very Nice.

Hey I'm Trey I'm a new member #5609 and excited to be apart of this community. I've always loved off-road exploring when my grandpa bought me my first jeep TJ in high school, but now my wife and I just had our first son and decided to purchase a 2006 Land Rover LR3 to have some more room our growing family. Just started the build and have installed the rhino lift rods, new set of mud terrains, and installing a Baja rack this weekend I found on Craigslist. We live in VA and can't wait to see what adventures
await us!!![/ATTACH]

Welcome! I've always found it therapeutic after a few stressful shifts to get out into the woods.
