Hi all,

I'm new to the overlanding world but not new to camping and outdoor experiences. As a land manager for nature preserves I have a healthy respect for mother nature and the need to tread lightly when we enter her more wild places.

I recently traded in my 2016 Canyon crew cab long bed for a short bed and couldn't be happier with the greater manuverability. I'm slowly building her up with only mods that are neccessary for my adventures. Less is sometimes better or at least more reliable.

Why Overlanding? My wife and I are becoming empty nesters next month. We have thru-hiked the John Muir Trail and plan to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail in 2020. We are selling everything and want a rig to continue exploring our love for the outdoors when we get off the trail. We have some time to setup the rig and get some experience.

Our Taco is being equipped this month through Saints Offroad in Glendora, CA (they are awesome btw). We are installing CBI Rock Sliders with kickout, Cali Raised Ditch lights, Leitner Designs Active Cargo System with storage pods, MaxTrax and mounts, RotoPax and mounts, Hi-Lift Jack and mount, a FSR High Country RTT, King Suspension, and Deaver Leaf Springs. I have 5 Stealth Customs Ray 10s in Matte Bronze on order to be paired with 5 BF Goodrich KM3 (285\70\17). We are scouting a Prinsu Rack, ARB Twin Compressor, and a stove and fridge. I am also looking for a front bumper and winch (likely CBI). I will wait until I hit my rear bumper one too many times to upgrade it :).

Rob

Hello all, I am very excited to have found this community. I'm Brian, but my camping/shooting friends usually just call me Jedi because of my Star Wars obsession. So here are the "few things":

1) Saved till last...
2) I just relocated to the top left corner of the "Lower 48" in a small city called Ferndale, Washington. Before moving here I lived in Calaveras County, California (home of one of the most famous 4x4 trails...)
3) My overland drive is also my daily drive, a 2010 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Rubicon. It has been left stock, for the most part, with the exception of important items like my amateur radio and 33" tires. I have many more improvements planned...
4) I don't have too much overland experience with the exception of what used to be a semi-annual trip to the high desert of Northern Nevada that involved 4-wheeling, camping, shooting and relaxation.

So, here is my Jeep, "Red Five" from one of my many trips through the desert.

Thank you. We enjoy the set we have. Everything we carry is in the teardrop because we carry 2 Alaskan malamutes in the Jeep with us and a few tools. Mostly dogs.

The picture I sent was near MT Adams. We camped at Adams Fork campground. Awesome place.

Hello all my fellow adventurers,

Recently found this forum and found it to be a great place to learn and get to know about Overlanding and to meet those involved. My name is Keith (CCTX50) and I live in South Texas. I have taken my Jeep rock crawling in the Jeep Jamboree and had a blast. Yet this is really hard on vehicles and my Jeep is my daily driver. I really enjoy camping and getting out in the great wide open, setting up a tent, cooking over a fire and sleeping under the stars. My next big trip plan is to get out to West Texas in the Big Bend National Park and State Park. It has been about 20 years since my last trip there and I am long overdue. I hope to learn more from the forum and to meet some great people.
