@2RiversRanchExpeditions let me know!

 

[Alain M]

New member here :-)
My name is Alain and I live in Poway, CA (North County, San Diego)
I own a Toyota 4runner SR5 2007, V6, Toytec 3" lift kit with few additions for camping and off-roading. My rig is an on-going project.
I always liked exploring, camping, hiking, mountain biking, and I am not new to overlanding but now, the goal is to go off the beaten tracks.

 

[B Reel]

B Reel is the name and new member #22186. Got my emblem on the 2nd and immediately hit the trails afterwards. I have a 06 Forester with a small lift and otherwise stock driveline for now. We had a cabin in Helen, GA so a few day trips were planned. Decided to hit FSR79 (Tray/Chimney MTN) in the Chattahoochee NF which turned out to be a near disaster. Typical issues such as washed out culverts requiring rock ramp construction, deep puddles (for a street car with no vent mods) and the lovely ruts that I tried to straddle ending with me hanging the front half of the car over a cliff edge when the back end came around on me. Other than a bruised ego and a busted bumper from the tree that kept us from going over, it was a good ride. Lessons learned, check the ranger station for current road closures and don't leave home without your recovery bag and just stay off FSR79. Before I get flamed for being a newb at this, I did meet up with a group from TN who were equipped and ready for the challenge and lived up to the "volunteer" namesake otherwise we would not have made the trek. Be Safe and be kind

Hi from Northern Nevada. I'm an Overlanding novice, but I hope to change that this year. I'm driving a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road, and an Air Opus trailer. I hope to learn a lot from those folks far more experienced than I am.

 

[ElGuapoJeep]

Hi everybody, my name is Mike. I have a 2018 Jeep JLUR. I have had multiple Jeeps, starting with my TJ many years ago.
I live in Southeastern PA and my family and I have really gotten into overlanding lately as my kids are old enough to appreciate it.

 

[Scyent888]

Fieldcraft survival got me started into looking into overlanding. I am brand new. I want to plan my build before building it to ensure that I spec it out the way to best fit my life style. Thanks in advance for the advice.
