Hi everyone.
Location: Tucson, AZ USA
Current Vehicle: 2004 4Runner SR5 4x4 also daily drive
Next Vehicle: possibly a 2018/19 Toyota Tacoma to turn into my next overlanding vehicle
Overland Experience: Advanced for shorter trips but no time with work for long extended excursions . Did spend 6 weeks camping in Namibia a few years ago.
Why Overlanding?: I like the outdoors and nature (biologist/photographer side of me). I enjoy camping and exploring back fire roads throughout the southwest and west to see where they go. I really enjoy building things and part of that is building and customizing (engineering side of me) my current 4Runner setup and I'm looking forward to a future Tacoma build.

Welcome. It's good to see more 4Runner's in the threads. Look forward to your Tacoma build out.

Welcome. Nice shot of your rig. Make sure you register in the 4Runner's registry thread.

I can't find the 4runners registry thread?

Hi I'm Paul, A little late to the party though. Been hooked on Overlanding ever since watching some Lifestyle Overland on youtube!!
1) Staten Island, New York.
2) 2010 Honda Pilot.
3)I have no experience offroading, however many years of hiking, camping, etc. Did ~100 mile trek through New Mexico.

Also, I'm looking into getting a new/old car something I can use every day but also take offroading. Any and all suggestions would be great thanks!!

Nice Jeep! I’ve been wondering how the tan top looks with rescue green

Thank you. We recently switched to a hard top and my wife and I both like the look of the tan top much better so we are going to have the new hard top line X'd tan to get that look again.

Hey everybody, my name is Brian, 35. I am currently in the Austin Tx area for now I move a bit for work. I have been needing to find a group to get in with to actually make it out to some meets and learn as much as I can. My truck is a 2017 F-150 fx4 and I am decently on my way for getting it set up. I camp a decent amount but actually “overlanding”. I don’t have much experience. I look forward to getting started.

Welcome Brian! Good to see others from Texas. We are out by Abilene.

Brownwood(central,) Texas
2017 Tacoma TRD Pro with 33's
Lots of offroading from enduros, atv's, rental jeeps to rock crawling a 69 ford bronco. Never have done the self sufficient overlanding before. Look forward to learning more about and getting out there.

Brent, glad to see others from the Texas area. We live near Baird. I am building a 2018 Tacoma Off Road.

I pretty much want to get into Overlanding and learn from all of you. I know my rig wont be able to do those crazy trails I just want to get out there and go on an adventure.

Hello everyone! My name is Matt and I am originally from the northeast but currently living in Georgia. I've previously owned a couple of rigs built towards overlanding but currently I am in the process of my first real overland build. I have previously been a huge hiking/camping enthusiast but with my current location, day hikes and short trips are a little harder. The nearest hiking/camping areas are a 3+ hour drive so making my trips last a few days is a definite must for me now!

I'm currently in the process of building a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. Eventually I would like to upgrade to a fridge/freezer combo and an RTT but for now I've built a sleeping platform for the interior and food is kept in a cooler!

 

[Robin Cruz]

Location: Orange County, CA
Rig: 2017, Jeep Wrangler JKU, Sahara. 3" lift and more durable K02 tires then come stock with the Sahara
Overlanding Experience Background: Beginner. Lots of off-roading mostly on motorcycle around Texas but now that I'm retired as of last year and in SoCal Ive sold all bikes and Ive used the Jeep for the last year to explore there area. Been visiting lots of trails around SoCal, camped a night here and there but no long overlanding trips. Sleeping in the back of the Jeep Ive found works well for me and I fit with the 6'4" of room with rear seats down. Now that Im retired I have all the time in the world, so hoping to perhaps hook up with a small group for some adventures.

Howdy!
I'm located in St. George Utah
My current vehicles are a 2005 Jeep LJ Rubicon (built for rock crawling and offroad trails) and a 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD (Setup for backcountry adventures and minimalist overlanding*.)
My "Overlanding" experience started when my father bought a new 1959 CJ6 Jeep, and we used it for fishing expeditions in the mountains of Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. Since then, it has been an evolution of many 4x4 Vehicles. My longest offroad excursions were from Cave Lake, CA to Walla Walla, Washington (the Oregon Back Country Route) in a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and last year we did a 1,200 mile trip wandering around the area of the 3 corners of Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming in a 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara.
* While I enjoy a properly equipped vehicle, I also appreciate being able to overland without carrying excess weight. My Liberty has enough room for all the camping gear I need to be very comfortable, and still maintains over 22 mpg on backcountry roads. Therefore, I have a comfortable cruising range of over 380 miles with the stock tank.
I'm looking forward to coming to some meetups, including the one here in my area planned for January at the Winter 4x4 Jamboree. See you all there! :)
