Hi all,
I’m mike from Western Massachusetts and I’m new to the forum as well as to the idea of overlanding. I did however grow up taking family road trips and love a good adventure. I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot that’s bone stock at the moment. I know it will never become a hardcore trail rig but I should meet my needs for now.
Hello to you all - Jeff & Heather here. We're happy to be apart of the community. Heather lives in Laguna and I live in La Verne, Ca. We drive a 2014 Ford F-350 and are new to the overloading scene. Heather was diagnosed with cancer and underwent months and months of treatment which meant tons of couch time for both of us. Once done we decided we wanted to get out and be away from couches and crowds. We wanted to explore and see new and interesting things. You never know how long you have on this planet so, we wanted to see more of it. We've taken 7 trips this year and look forward to many-many more.

What’s up!
My name is Darren Delin and I’m from Southern California. I’ve got lots of camping and travel experience but newer to overlanding so thought I would jump in!
I love back country and I passionately dislike campgrounds.
I’m married with one 2 year old boy and a girl on the way.
I’m a Youth Pastor at our local church and have been there for 12 years.
I drive a 2001 F350 7.3
Custom built John Wood transmission
35” KO2’s
Bilstien 5100’s all around
Switched from a hard top shell to a soft top and I’m stoked about it 99% of the time.
Truck has 190,000 and am planning on getting it well over 500,000. It’s build for reliability first and then fun second since it’s my DD. I have big plans but I also have a family and want to move into a house so slow is my progress.
Stoked to be a part of this community to learn from you all and pitch in when I can!
Here are some pictures from this last week in Utah.

Hope to get out of the concrete jungle and meet some new people.

We're Kevin and Jen and live in South Central Pa. We're newbies to the overland experience. We used our roof top tent with our Audi Avant (we're big Audi enthusiasts), but finally decided we need a suitable rig. We purchased a 01 Land Rover Disco II to fill that role. Lately I've been sorting out the mechanical needs and have been sourcing out our wants list. Last weekend we purchasesd an ARB 2000 for the left side and an ARB 1250 for the rear. I also bought the supplies to DIY a road shower for the right side. I just started the fabrication process for our roof rack to mount out RTT and added storage. We have plans for a storage system in the rear cargo area as well, but that is further down the to do list. We're excited to be taking our camping and exploring to the next level and look forward to nights by the campfire with other members of the community.

Here goes! Long time lurker, new poster. Texan living in Seattle, Washington. Really enjoying the new terrain out here!
2004 Nissan Xterra 4x4 Manual Trans
210k miles
Daily driver
I'd consider myself and my wonderful long term girlfriend and our dog as car camper+ or overland-lite. We don't like established campgrounds. We do love dirt forest roads. We are not afraid of snakes and javelinas but this whole bears and mountain lions thing makes us cautious!
Would love to meet more folks in Washington or the PNW who are more on the overland/camp side than the wheeling/crawling side. I daily my rig so it's gotta stay in one piece! No RTT... Dog can't climb a ladder!

Welcome to OLB! It’s important to note that it is not important WHAT you drive, only that the vehicle is CAPABLE in the areas you want to use it!! Good to see such a broad spectrum of rigs!

Welcome, fellow Pacific Northwest Overlander! That is a very nice, and capable, XTerra. You just missed out on a great opportunity to meet with some of the Northwest Washington overlanders, as we had a meeting and (light) trail run this morning. But the great news is that we meet on a monthly basis, so there will be many more opportunities.
Take a look at the Northwest Region forums (link) to get to know other PNW overlanders and to watch for new events. Each event is also posted as a Rally Point (link) and on the Calendar (link).

Yah! We we're actually going to camp this weekend near Cle Elum but the dogsitter fell through (the doggo is very fair weather!)... Absolutely will try to keep an eye on these events! Thanks!
Hello all, I joined OB last year and somehow missed this entire forum! Excited to be here. I am a father of 6 so the 8 of us are alot of work to go camping, but we love it. Having a large family slightly limits vehicle choices...however we have rocked our 2002 Toyota Sequoia for a bout 225,000 miles so far. Picture coming soon! We live in northern Colorado. We have a hard time leaving CO for trips because we have so many awesome places to go here. Thanks for all this Micheal and the OB team!
Great rig. Hard to find these days in decent shape. Welcome to OB.
