Hello WindyBadger and welcome to OB! Nice looking WK and RTT! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!Hey! I just signed up for OB recently. I have travelled the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway in Kentucky a lot, but I'm looking forward to meeting people from here and travelling a little further. Next summer I plan on going to Colorado and spending several days going from Denver to the Great Sand Dunes National Park.
My rig is in the picture below. It's a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK Overland. I live in Kentucky, but have the flag on the front because I'm from the UK!
Hey Matthew and welcome to OB! Nice looking 4Runner! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Thanks man! Won't be in GA for a while. Next states to visit are AZ, NM and TX - so I'm working my way there! Would love to have a beer with you!
If you haven’t already, please complete my 50 State Road Trip Questionnaire so I will have your contact info when I’m in your area. I use the completed questionnaires to meet up with the people you see with me in my videos!
Here is the link to the questionnaire which I hope you will complete - https://goo.gl/forms/ZopZP74rkYqGTBhh1
Hey Mathew!
Good getting those kiddos into overlanding! I just started working on my rig with my son and he is loving the garage time! Looking forward to getting things all set up!
Love the 4 Runner! Miss that Datusun? Besides my Frontier I am bringing an old BMW E30 Vert back to life.
That is quite the cab you have in your jeep! Congrats on the kiddo! She will be out adventuring with you in no time!
Thanks Jake! I’m excited for the adventures, it is your videos that opened the door into this world for me.

Hello!
My name is Aaron #6936, and I hail from Central Washington and I am an Overland Newb! Well at least officially. I was in the Truck Camper life with an 06 F350 Dually and Lance 1050 camper. But times changed, and after a few years, I wanted a new rig, and an easier way to go and explore.
My Rig is a 2017 Chevy Colorado CCLB with the Baby Duramax. This is my DD and does a lot of commuting (120mi day) so I'm not planning anything extreme with my build. A 2" front level and a 1" rear block in the future, current tires are 265/65 duratracs, and not much else done at the moment. Should get me just about anywhere the road goes.
A few weeks after I got my Colorado, my partner and I went on a 2k mile roadtrip to the Grand Tetons for the solar eclipse. I've not done a lot of out of state travels as my last setup was terrible on fuel. I gotta say, 25mpg is awesome! It was a great shakedown. The Colorado is an impressive truck. Comfortable and connected. Going down a good hundred miles or so of forest roads and such to get in and out of camp and exploring, I was surprised at how smooth and nimble it was. And the baby diesel is a gem of an engine.
Overall there was not nearly enough trail runs and camping on my trip aside from the few days in the Tetons, so a lot of quick overnighters in hotels (I know, terrible form) But it had been a while since I used any of my camp gear and really camped instead of glamped in an RV. My buddies and I are all in our early 30's and all have Truck campers, but I was tired of having to limit where I go, and the cost of it all. I was always one for wanting multi-day trips and drives, but they like to just park and sit. So I was really excited to find this community and start building my truck, my experiences and my base of friends.
Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself and show off some pics!
