hi everyone!
Took the plunge and joined.... I'm located in Westbury, Long Island.
I'm a long-time outdoorsman, climber, and 4x4 guy with a serious bent towards skeet shooting. I have an old 87 Wrngler I restored, and a 2018 Sequoia which will become the Overlanding rig. After 16 Jeeps, I have left that community and I'm doing it another way now.
Love the group and the forums!
Stop by anytime, or call me on 2M on 146.460 - I'm KD2QMS.

I've just joined and have years of experience and have had several overland equipt vehicles.
Currently I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel Limited 75th edition with a Dobinson 2" lift and KO2 tires. I love the engine, but it does not make for a great overland vehicle because no-one makes front upper A arms for a lifted WK2 so the ride is not that great and I am burning through front tires.
But my project vehicle is a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon that I bought at a salvage auction. The damage was mostly undercarriage and was all set to turn a nice profit when I had to have the tranny rebuilt (ouch). This is my third JK. I owned a 2007 and then a 2012.
My dream vehicle is a Land Cruiser 200 series. So right now, since I doubt I will be able to sell the salvage JK for profit, I might just keep it and sell the diesel Grand Cherokee.
That's it for now, back to work.

Hey guys,
My name is Christian, moved to Phoenix from Texas about a year ago and I’ve been wanting to get into overlanding for a while. This week I finally found a rig so here we go.
2001 sequoia, toyotec 3inch lift. Roof rack, hankook tires. Super pumped to take it out. Going to a shop today for a thorough once over so wish me luck.
If anyone sees this from AZ I’d love some tips on where to find trails.

Location: San Diego - the weather's always horrible here, stay away!
2018 Toyota 4Runner. Haven't put too many modifications into it, yet.
Previously had a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer with a few tweaks. Mostly, though I have found it is 60% driver 40% vehicle. I'm experienced in the outdoors and mostly use my vehicle as a means to get to the start of the journey; though sometimes getting there is part of it as well.
