Welcome Patt! I'm up North (Whidbey Island). Jeeps are good vehicles, are you thinking 2door or 4door?

Here are a few tips to get you started:
-Check out the local region's forums for events and meetups in your area. Like the meetup at Samish Overlook on November 1st!
-Check out the Rally Point system and the Member Map for events and other people around you. Super helpful.
-Our region also has a FB page.

If you need anything, feel free to PM me or tag me in the forums at @Gabriel Bozeman.

Cheers!

Hi everyone!

I'm a newbie to all of this. Just really like the outdoors and I used to race four wheelers, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, etc. as a kid so this feels like that but in adult form.

My name's Tyler
I live in Highland Park (LA), CA
I just got a 1998 Land Rover Disco 1
I'm planning on doing a lot of work to it and getting it in great shape to ride.

Good day everyone
I happy to apart of the ob community, a community of all vehicles, there is a lot great overland vehicles out there, happy to see everyone’s creations.

I am newish to overlanding with some experience. I have been doing some overlanding in my tracker for a couple years in the San Juan’s. I have rebuilt roads found my way around obstacles, it is a nimble ride. Last spring my family purchased 97 land cruiser for our main overlander. I have not yet rebuilt roads for that. It’s a different animal and learning it’s pros and cons.
I welcome any tips on the fzj80 to help guide my build and maintenance.
Thanks
Joe

Hi everyone...I'm Alan, and I'm stoked to be part of the OB community!

I'm currently in Arizona...the East Valley, specifically. My rig is a 2018 Tacoma TRD OR 4X4. I've been an outdoorsman pretty much all my life, but vehicular based for the last few years.

Looking forward to meeting some of you and exploring!
