Hi everyone!

My name is Kristin, I’m a registered nurse who loves the outdoors. I’ve got a 2018 Jeep JKU (Sahara) that I’ve been building up since last year. I suppose that make me fairly new to overlanding but I’ve camped my whole life. I’m in Southern California so I’ve got plenty of places to roam. Looking forward to learning new things, meeting great people, and making some memories.

2019 RAV4 hybrid awd (not sure if its worthy of the badge of "overland worthy" but she's all I got).

No overland experience.

I've backpacked and car camped. Looking for something new and exciting and after just recently getting rid of my 04 4Runner for a RAV4, it's tough to even carry a few bins with camping gear. After joining and lurking for a while, I was inspired to work on a trailer build. Here is the build I just wrapped up.

Thanks for creating this awesome community. Looking forward to learning from you all. 20190829_185637.jpg

Hello everyone, great to be here , thanks for having me
Currently in East Texas with an address in the Matanuska Valley,AK
2.5-3 more years on the job for my wife and I then a far flung wandering commute between address A and address B
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, 2016 Ram 2500 C/C 4x4 6.4l gas are the chosen vehicles .
Waiting for the arrival of a couple of Opus Air Offroad to look at before I select a trailer, but it will be "minimal" with regards to weight/footprint
I see mobility as freedom

Hello folks,

I'm Jermaine from the SF Bay Area.
My rig is a 2006 Ford F-150 Lariat 4X4 that is stock right now. I am currently collecting parts such as wheels, UCAs, and more suspension parts are in the mail.
I'm pretty much a novice to overland and 4x4 with one trip under my belt. I got some basic camping skills. radio handling. I am most certainly looking forward to learning and being apart of this awesome community!View attachment 115096

Hello OB Community!

New member here! Just wanted to drop a quick intro of myself.

I'm Biohax in the forums or Chris in the real world. (Biohax comes from a brief career in infosec)

I live in east Denver, Co U.S. used to live more in the mountains and looking to move back as soon as I can.

Currently Overland on two different "rigs" at the moment.
Mainly I drive a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD off road. Mostly stock at the moment but I have plans to add much much more.

I also ride a 2017 Honda Africa Twin to get me way out in the backwoods. I've modded it with crash bars, pannier racks and various heated equipment for extra riding comfort.

I would say I'm a moderately experienced overlander but I've been out of the game for a few years. I used to take my old beater Ford Ranger out every weekend and find some place new to camp out. I'm happy to be back into it!

Hi I’m Adam I live in Petaluma CA. After years of small commuter cars I went out last week and bought a new 4Runner. I have no trail driving experience but have camped all my life. Looking forward to this next chapter will be looking to get this set up for camping with my kids. I will have a lot of questions along the way I’m glad I came across this site.

Hello! I am in the process of building my first rig. I bought a 2018 Mahindra Roxor and am currently buying parts and trying to outfit it. I am in the San Antonio area. I don't have much off roading experience other than driving in deserts over seas and two track roads in northern Ontario. I am here to learn and hopefully meet some people who can show me the ropes. The Roxor is currently in PA getting a roll cage welded up and when I gets back to Texas I'll be sanding it down and Raptor Lining it. If anyone knows people who do hot shot runs or that move vehicles, I'd love to talk to them about scheduling a pickup from PA and delivering it in San Antonio. Thanks!
