Hello! My name is Joffrey Hammit. I am from the Arizona, originally from Prescott but I attend school in Phoenix. I currently drive a 2003 Dodge Dakota, and although it is not exactly what one would think to drive when Overlanding, but it has worked well for me so far and I think that is all that matters! When it comes to Overlanding experience, I would probably be considered more of a novice, but I am excited to gain more experience with Overlanding.

Hi all.. greetings from the Netherlands!

I'v been fortunate enough to travel many beautiful countries around the globe over the last 20 years or so.
Many of them were what we would now call in "Overland" style.
Just to name some of the trips i made:

I've been to Australia for almost 3 months exploring the outback and east coast in a Toyota Landcruiser Troopy camper,
1 month New Zealand camping and driving a Toyota Rav4,
2 weeks Iceland round trip and crossing the inland with a Nissan Patrol Y61,
Playing around on the Greenland icecap in wintertime with a MAN 4x4 truck,
Exploring Morocco in a 2 week 4x4 round trip crossing the Atlas Mountains and playing in the dunes a couple of days in an old Landcruiser,
and 3 times a 3 week trip in a Ford F350 truck camper exploring the beautifull Rocky Mountains in Canada and the US.

As for now.. i don't own an overlanding rig.. i'll have to do with my boring Nissan sedan,
but still made an epic road trip to Norway and Zweden this year,
driving as much of the scenic gravel backcountry roads i could find together with my girlfriend and the new RTT we bought this year.

So.. that's a little bit about me for now.

See you out there!

Hi from the tip of Lake Michigan.

I'd been adveture touring the US by motorcycle until I had kids about a decade ago. I loved it and only get out about one week every other year to go out west, but that is pretty much an unacceptable amount of time to be out exploring. I've recently come around to the idea that I might be better off taking my 2012 GMC Sierra or my wife's Subaru Crosstrek (both are bone stock right now) and get out that way... plus I can take the family that way and wouldn't have to leave them for a week or two at a time to go travel.

Here are some photos of my favorite motorcycle that I miss about every day (KTM 640 Adventure)...

A slight error in judgement in trying to do a cross country trip in December. After being stranded for two days, I walked to a hardware store and bought machines screws and a drill. Once I had the tires studded, I was back underway.

This is what I have now... It's a 1999 DR350 with a 5.8 gallon tank made for a Honda 650L. It's not a highway machine like the 640 was, but it gets the job done off the main path.

Howdy Ryan here from Wisconsin! We enjoy overlanding in our group. My wife and I started overlanding with our 2015 Jeep Wrangler JK 2 door Rubicon a few years ago. Now we have a '18 JLUR built for whatever the trails throw at us.

See ya on the trails!

Hello, I'm new here and new to "Overlanding". I have a 2005 Honda Pilot EX AWD that I'm looking to upgrade with front and rear armor bumpers, a cargo rack, winch, skid plates, and all new suspension with lift kit. Any recommendations on equipment, parts, and shops near me would be welcome and helpful. Also, any advice on workshops, youtube videos, or schools for a newb like me are also welcome. I currently live in Huntley, Illinois. I'm really excited to be here. Thanks!

Hi! This is my first post here. I just bought my 4th 4wd 'thing' 2 weeks ago, and I'm still outfitting it with armor, racks, safety gear, and convenience items. I've been known to mountain bike, jetski, waterski, SCUBA, snowboard, and even a little dirtbiking.

Some 'relevant' vehicles I have owned (or currently own):
1991 Suzuki sidekick
2001 Nissan Xterra
2014 Honda Rancher (TRX420) ATV
1999 Kawasaki KLR650 (dirtBike)
2019 Toyota Tacoma

I live in the Kansas City area.
Other than the KLR and the ATV I've never really gotten too 'dirty' before. The Tacoma will fix that. I'm looking forward to meeting up and heading out with some of my new OB Friends. I work in tech, so I REALLY enjoy unplugging, watching trees grow, listening to dirt, smelling my tent, and trying to figure out "How am I going to cook this?"
