Hi, new member here in Fort Walton Beach FL.

We have been exploring around the SW USA for a few years (Moab, Ouray, Sedona, etc) in our Jeep and are now in the process of upgrading some systems to expand our ability to stay in the outback a bit longer. I'm currently in the process of importing a hard shell roof top tent from a manufacturer in China to put on the Jeep's roof rack. If anyone needs any info on the ordeal of importing one, just drop me a message and I'll tell you what I know . I should be picking it up at the port in the next several days (hopefully). Look forward to the community.

Why Overlanding?: I have been an overlander for a while without even knowing there was such a thing. I enjoy Kayak fishing, hunting, hiking and exploring the outdoors. I'm about to head out on a 2 week trip starting the 20th of December. Any suggestions on where I would go?

Thank you for your post. I'd be interested in learning more about your experience. I was looking at a Chinese company making the hard top RTT's. Once you get the tent, I'd be interested to know the quality and if it was worth it. I look forward to learning more about your adventures. Thanks again.

Hey everyone,
I signed up not to long ago but just recently decided to get my memebership and try using this more.

I am from the Richmond, Va. Area
My overland vehicle is a 2005 Toyota 4Runner 4.7L V8. I have done some modifications and plan on doing more when the funds unitie.

I mainly joined to find a good group of people who share in the same hobby and passion that i have and want to find people to run on trails and meet up. If you are in my area give me a message and we can try to meet up and do something some time.
Hello and welcome to the OB crew..happy to add another Toy to the group and look forward to seeing your build and adventures

Hi from San Diego.

I recently purchased a 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X as my daily driver but with the specific intention of using it for going out to remote places and exploring. I'm right now trying to get it up to a basic level of protection and reliability but I really can't wait to get out on the trails.

I've grown up off-road in same form, either in the dunes or motocross/off-road racing but I am basically new to being self-reliant and off-road. I have a lot to learn. I discovered "overlanding" while recovering from a major shoulder injury and thought this sounded awesome. I have been on OB for the last year but became a member just recently once I was able to get my rig. I am a gear guy so I will need to control that a bit and get out and have some fun. I hope to also bring my wife and daughter with me as well.

I hope to meet some of you soon!:sunglasses:
Scott
