Longtime lurker, finally joined up!

Location: SF East Bay
Rig: 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium
Overlanding Experience: Novice?

In 2018 I put a 2" lift and some KO2s on my Rav4 and took off for Death Valley with my Tepui Ayer 2 for my maiden overlanding voyage. "Kendra" was a champ, but when a new job came along that required travel throughout the state, I knew the time had come to make an upgrade. I've had "Dutch" for 9 months and have logged 17,000 miles in that time frame. Thus far, she's been bone stock minus KO2s and I've taken her through the Eastern Sierras, up the White Mountains, through Death Valley, and into Shasta-Trinity National Forest. 2020 is a big year for us, in the coming weeks Dutch is getting a Dobinson's lift, a behind-the-grill light bar and ditch lights, a Frontrunner Slimline II rack, an Eezi Awn Swift, Group 34 battery and a Dometic CFX3-55. I travel for work and am building Dutch to reflect my specific needs. Can't wait to dive into the forums here and get to know some local members!

Hey Andrew, welcome to OB & Oregon! If you find yourself heading to the coast, I'm about 1/2 hr north of Florence (just across the coast range from Eugene), hit me up!

 

[Sandpoint Steve]

Greetings from Alberta, Canada!

My name is Graham, and my wife is Rebecca.
My overlanding rig consists of a 12" open floor, steel trailer, a 2014 Wildcat, and a 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali ("The Beast" is a 6.2L, AWD, service truck fully outfitted with emergency and off-road lights, all of my tools, and many accessories! Added leveling kit and factory size K02s since these photos)
Experience: I'd say above average off-road experience but still fairly new to the full vehicle overlanding experience.

We love to head out camping and often find ourselves in the middle of nowhere. There are thousands of places to get lost up here in Alberta even as they are slowly closing some areas. This setup works wonders for me as I am a self employed mobile mechanic and this truck is also my service truck. So fully loaded with tools it makes for a poor full-time overlanding rig, so I have the Wildcat for the fun part!
My trailer is slowly being fitted to be more functional. The tent sits on a ladder rack frame with storage both underneath and on the front. LED lighting of course and a custom built "furnace-in-a-box" for when its -25 degrees celsius. (You can see the piping going in the side window of the RTT).
In the works is a removable bed rack for the truck for when I don't need the Wildcat but still want to go out and adventure.
We also have a 2014 Mitubishi RVR that we took on a very long trip down through Oregon. Loved every minute of it with our Rocky Mountain Equipment RTT.

Looking forward to the vast amount of information with this group and will be purchasing a membership as well! On Instagram - @insta.grahamn and @high.torque.repair

Cheers!

Welcome to OB. Keep an eye on the calendar and rally point system. I also do a conference call on the 3rd Sunday of the Mont at 730 pm PST.

Love your setup. A different rig for every type of overlanding.

Hi Gang,
I'm Charlie, but my friends call me Tig. I'm a professional photographer in Durango, Colorado. I've been camping my whole life, and have been overlanding a few times in friends' rigs so I'm excited to start building my own and getting active in the community. Currently, I own a 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring. I've just ordered new wheels and will be lifting her in August (when my warranty is up).

Name: Tig
Location: Southwest Colorado
Rig: 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring

My wife, Susan our dog, Katja and me, Robert went to Overland East in October. She fell in love with it and as a Plein Aire/ Landscape artist she launched her overlanding website/blog. We can't wait until Spring to get back on the trail. Here is some of her work from our overlanding trips and a link to her site

Hello there
Was brought to this forum from Google when I was looking for Traction Board mounting information.
I'm Retired Army Medic and have only been Off-Roading for 14ish years I grew up a city boy so did not get out and hunt or 4x4.
I recently hurt my back so my Offroading has morphed to more adventure on gravel roads now.
The wife and I are downsizing this year to hit the road Jan 2021. we will pull her 1991 Geo Tracker behind our Class A rv
in the pictures I attached to this you can see the first being how we started out wheeling with my 1988 F350 flat bed and 30 foot trailer.
The next pic is a poser pic and the wife and I. My 1988 Samurai and her 91 Tracker
then her tracker that we will hit the road with. I'll post more when it's done I have to build the roof rack and rear bumper before we go.
the next is how we did go wheeling but that's all gone now..

Now to begin a new adventure

Hey All,
I'm a Newb to the overland game. My Subi FXT has mostly seen fire roads on the way to hiking, but also some sand at local beaches, and snow play in the Sierra Nevada foothills. But living on the North Coast of CA means adventure on all sides! I'm just learning to outfit, scour forums and Youtube and use the rig for more than just getting me to my next hike. Looking forward to sharing with all you all!
