Hey everyone, my name is Chuck. I live in NW Indiana and am new to Overlanding, but in 2016 did a three week trip out west camping out of my 2015 Toyota Tundra, and a two week trip to New England this past summer. Bought the Tundra used and the previous owner had added an ARE topper and a Topper EZLift, which raises the topper and turns the truck bed into a tent.

Just picked up a well modded '15 JKUR and joined OB. I'm in the south Bay Area. No civilian overland experience, but I have some solid bushcraft and land navigation experience from my days in the Corps. Really looking forward to camping at Corral Hollow, Lake Alpine, and Strawberry Lake soon.

I have a few more Jeep mods planned, but the rig is ready to go as is.

View attachment 41736 Greetings and salutations to all ,

My names Tony and I recently purchased a 2007 Jeep Wrangler and it has an OB badge , in researching the badge I found the site and decided to join . I kinda feel that this could be the beginning of an awesome adventure!
I live in southwestern Arizona near Bullhead City and hope there are members in the area.
I had a couple of CJ’s when I was younger but I am probably still considered a novice , hey no place to go but up , right ? Gotta start somewhere .
This is my new toy .
Looking forward to meeting members , making friends and getting dusty , lol.

What a cool way to find OB. Looking forward to reading about your adventures. Have fun!

Hey everyone, my names lake. Yes like the water!

Rig: 2001 4Runner sr5
Location: Palm Springs area
Experience: Pretty new, been camping many times!

My wife and I decided to pick a 4Runner and make it an adventure rig. Right now it’s pretty stock put, put some tires rims and billsteins. We are definitely looking to upgrade it we just don’t know where to start and looking for advice and friends to go explore or overland with. At the moment it’s just us out exploring and finding our own trails. We are looking to find a group to go out with.

We are currently in the market for bumpers winch rock sliders and a roof rack so if you have any advice for us we would appreciate it very much! Thanks!

Welcome @lake boardman ! I had an'04 4Runner with the V8 and it was one of the best rigs I have ever owned. I'm sure you'll make a lot of good memories with yours!

I wonder how many of the new folks (especially the Wrangler crowd) found ourselves here due to watching @Jake Wettern | iamjake 's adventure on YouTube?

 

[Heady Expedition]

New to the forum but bought a membership a while ago. Been active on ExPo since '10.

Just picked up a UZJ100 the week of Thanksgiving and I'm loving it! I sold my Tacoma to buy it since we had our first kid. The Tacoma had been built up just the way I wanted over three years so it was hard to let her go.

I've had several 4x4s, but I'm now sold on Toyota completely!

New member here... First post... New to the "overlanding" thing unless you count all the time I spent in the grunts living out of a pack. Bought a Toyota Tacoma recently and am planning on spending some time with my 7yo Son in the boonies.
