Hello all, Clayton here from southeast Pa. New member #1686 my overland medallion and goodies arrived a few weeks back.
My "rig" is a 2002 Nissan Frontier pick up which has been affectionately called the "Club Nissan Lounge" since I got it! The CNL with the exception of my truck cap has been bone stock only until the last 8 months or so when I decided I finally needed new shocks, which turned into a new 3" lift as well. I also have added a tow hitch on the back to haul "Ginger" my wife's camper! The CNL's most recent addition has been a sleeping platform and drawers I built two months ago to better store my gear and camping/fishing gear.
Experience wise, I think I was "overlanding" before I knew it was refered to it as such. Years of tent/truck camping/fishing/exploring in the "CNL", we've been to both sides of the country and back throughout the years and dipped toes and tires in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Outter Banks of North Carolina, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Oregon Coastline, the Bonneville Salt Flats, exploring Colorado, and for quite some time living in the Wyoming/Idaho region. And I'm not to proud to say I've had a good share of nights sleeping in the back or the front drivers seat! Looking forward to more explorations and adventures as time allows for it.

Howdy Y'all !
I'm Willy from Texas. Just found this site from some of the folks over at overland.kinja.com
I've been wheeling my 2013 FJ Cruiser for about 2 years now.
I've always loved to travel and explore and finally got the vehicle to do it in.
I've had the chance to take out out to the desert of Big Bend in West Texas (Doing an overland in the state park this holiday again), and drive out to Sedona to explore the area out there.
I'm looking forward to exploring the site and getting some good tips and meeting some good folks along the way.
Here's a little video I put together from my last outing.

Hi, HammerheadFistpunch here. You may know me from such places as oppositelock, Overland&expedition.kinja.com, Expediton Portal and youtube. Im in Utah just down the Road from Cruiser outfiiters [Hey Kurt and Bryce!] and drive a 97 40th anniversary cruiser. It's triple locked and has some lift, and other things, but nothing fancy. Someone asked me what my number for my cruiser was (limited edition number) and I didn't know (still don't, though I could look) so I'll say 42. I see BlindWilly is here, so thats a good sign and I know a few others on here as well {yo FJ80toyman!}. I'm fairly novice at this overland biz but its been enjoyable. Thanks for having me.
This is my latest tour from this spring to get you started.

Novice? I doubt it. Glad to see you made it!
I'm sure someone here can guide you to where you can find your number. I didn't realize yours was the anniversary one.

Hey All! Just picked up my first Land Cruiser tonight after looking for one for quite a while :) - Truck is a 1997 (technically a Lexus LX450, but who's counting!) and it is triple locked! Needs some body work but i am well versed in that so no problems there. I was overlanding with a 2000 Chevy Tracker (Suzuki Escudo / Grand Vitara in other parts) and I have desired an upgrade since starting! Anyhow heres the only picture I have after I drove the truck home and it was dark when I got home.

Hi, folks. Newbie here from Southern California. I love getting out in the hills and desert exploring and camping, and am hoping to work up to some great adventures. There's nothing like that feeling of discovering a new place of beauty you've never seen before, mixed with the confidence that comes from being prepared. Or mostly prepared...
Anyway, maybe I'll see you out there before too long. All the best!
