I am super excited to officially be apart of this highly recommended community. I am also excited to represent the 2-wheel community.

My name is Brandon Avila and this is my first off-road capable motorcycle. I come from a paved road riding background but have decided to take the next step in my desire to explore more off the beaten path. I am a US Navy Submarine veteran and have experience navigating using electronic and paper charts while serving as a Navigation Electronics Technician. I can’t wait to put my experiences to the test and eager to learn from everyone in this community.

Hey all,

Stoked to be a new member. Grew up in Portland, OR but I’ve been a resident of Los ANGELES for the past 10 years. Realizing my need for more off the grid adventuresand more time in the garage wrenching. Just picked up a “new to me” 2017 Ram Rebel and an AT Overland Habitat. If you’re in the SoCal area and want to explore with my navigator (wife) and two furry engineers (dogs) let’s get in touch.

My build aspirations are more camp lifestyle focused to begin with and will eventually evolve into suspension and performance based projects. Understanding this is not my final project truck I look forward to having a tricked out camper on the new diesel Ram Rebel in the next couple years for far superior mileage.

Looking forward to learning from all of you!

Hello all. My name is Craig from Raleigh, NC.

Another total newbie to overlanding, but not to the outdoors. Been camping, hunting, etc. forever and now desire to do some longer distance more remote travel.

I have currently decided to build my company rig for my initial build. It's a 2001 F350 7.3 Lariat. The plan is to do a truck camper build for me, the wife, and the dog. It's only a 2wd, but intend on adding a rear locker, suspension, tires, etc. and don't see us doing too much crazy terrain in the beginning. If the wheeling bug bites me, I'll upgrade the truck down the road.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving from Great Falls, Montana! My name is Chuck and I am an active duty Air Force member just stationed here.

I am completely new to Overlanding, but have become enamored with this lifestyle after watching a bunch of different YouTubers. I really love the thought of just experiencing the journey, not rushing to a final destination.

My rig will be my 2019 Ram 1500, so I won't be going through the most extreme of locations but if it will fit I hope to go! Nothing done to it yet, but maybe some beginner mods this winter. I am looking forward to reading up and gaining knowledge and advice from the experienced members of this forum/community.

Kind of an off the wall question for anyone to answer...Has anyone tried to use the compact co2 inflators used in mountain biking / in an emergency (low or flat tire(s)). I would think having a few of the co2 cartridges would be an easy way to get the tire(s) inflated again. I realize they dont have a large volume...just wondering if anyone has ever tried it as a test in their driveway to see...

I am new to the site ... This is my first post so I am trying to get a feel for this site... Am looking forward to playing in the dirt and learning more!

I have two vehicles which are both road worthy-but I want to learn about the possibilities for mods as I expand my personal skillset and my desire for tougher terrain and challenge grows.

1996 Bronco 351w/turbocharged
2007 F150 4x4 forged 5.4 turbocharged

I live in Colorado Springs, and would love to go on the December 21st meet and greet locally.

Welcome to the group! I look forward to meeting you on the 21st!

Hello, I am Brian Jones from Goochland Va (west of Richmond)
My rig is a 2013 Commando Green Jeep Wrangler JKU Rubicon I call WARHOG. It has many different configurations which change threw out the year. With quite a few mods including a RTT. I am into wheeling, camping, kayaking, mountain biking, ATV's, guns and hunting. I joined to hopefully meet some local's who want to take some trips in Virginia.
