Hello!
I'm in central Alabama
2004 Z71 Suburban ("Bob"), pretty much stock except for the brush bar.
I spent a lot of time off road in NM growing up, and did some casual trail rides with a few folks around here in the late '90s.
They all 'grew up' and moved away, though.

Ive never participated in a forum till now so have mercy. Youtube is great for learning things but im sure theres plenty of people here that have a ton of information id love to know about. Looking foward to meeting everyone and finding new places to explore.

Hello folks, I’m new to the “Overlanding” scene I guess, but certainly not being out in the wilderness.I have spent the last 15 years or so pretty dedicated to the pursuit of ultralight backpacking and sleeping in a hammock. This summer I spent two weeks with my son and my father driving around the ring road in Iceland. We rented a 2018, VW California, camper van and couldn’t stop commenting on how comfortably we were sleeping and how nice it was to have a mini fridge with food in it. When we got back, I remembered seeing roof top tents during a trip to Yosemite earlier in the year. I started doing some research and settled on a Tepui Rugedized which I promptly installed on my 2017, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Trailhawk. After a couple trips I realized it would be so much easier to install the tent on a trailer (had no idea that was a thing). After lurking through this forum, I discovered there were A LOT of options out there. I’m now having a small off road camping trailer built by Tiny Camper Co. out of Claremont, Florida. Below is a photo of my current set up but should have some pictures of the new rig in the next 2-3 weeks.
Will be asking a lot of questions and doing a lot of reading while I get ready for a coast to coast trip this summer.

Hello all from the heart of the USA in Kansas City. I’m most likely a bit of an anomaly here as my current “rig” is a 2015 Kia Forte5 yep a small little 2wd hatchback. Would I love a good off-road rig yes but I just cant justify one at the moment however, I'm not a complete outsider as from 1990 to 2010 I rocked a Jeep Cherokee and finally retired it after racking up 750,000 miles on her with countless miles off-road in Colorado and Utah she was beat down and I was sick of stitching her back together as fatigue was getting pretty bad and she just was not safe anymore without more work than I had time energy and money for. I still tun my head every time i see or here that straight 6 and have a hard time not stooping when i see one for sale. My current “Overlanding” primarily consists of weekend trips leaving from KC to camp and Mountain bike or Gravel bike with friends or to camping hiking and canoeing with my 2 girls (14yr and 11yr) my wife has retired from camping and refuses to sleep in a tent anymore. I hope to learn some tricks from you all as what you call “overlanding" seems to have plenty of overlap with my style of car camping and where many of you may be spending your day driving off-road I spend my day riding bikes or canoeing and my camps tend to be the most isolated spots I can find in designated camping areas vs true back country.

Hey Gang! New here, figured I'd introduce myself. My name's Luke, I've been working in the outdoor hard goods space for the last several months with DMOS Collective, and got into the Overlanding space after just calling it car camping for a long time. :)
My rig is a 1999 Mitsubishi Montero I bought earlier this year with 112K miles on it. It's the winter package, so fairly hardy with a factory rear locker. Did all sorts of preventative maintenance to it, then upgraded the shocks, wheels, and tires, with Kony Heavy Tracks, Black Rhino Stadium 16's, and Yoko Geolandar A/T's (in a conservative 32 since I daily this thing).
Here's a pic:

I'm located in Los Angeles, though the rest of the DMOS Team is in Jackson, WY.
As far as Overlanding experience, well... I'm gonna go with "Novice." Always more to learn.

Glad to be here! Member number 20942.

If I can be of any assistance or answer any questions about the DMOS Product lineup feel free to drop me a line.

All the best,

L

1)
2) Location: San Antonio, Texas
3) Rig: 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK Sport. Been building it up little by little over the past two years. *Pic is over a year old. I need to take a new one.
4) Overlanding Experience Background: I've been off-roading and camping my entire life. I'm on my second rig in 20 years. Never been a "rock crawler", so it puts me on the outer edge of most "Jeepers". Overland/trail riding has always been my preference.
