Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Another big event coming up (in my opinion) in the PNW is the annual 4x4 Swap Meet in Puyallup, WA on Sunday, 8 March (the day after, and the same place as the 39th Annual Electronic Show and Swap Meet mentioned above on 7 March). This swap meet is huge, and is geared towards the 4x4 crowd (obviously).

Swapmeet — Moonshiners Jeep Club

Now accepting online reservations!

www.moonshinersjeepclub.com

I make it a point to go every year that I can. Lots of used and new stuff for sale. Might not be much for the Land Rover folks, but plenty of stuff for most everyone else's rigs.

Set up an RP, and I can help push the event. If I don’t know about it I can’t talk about it.
But does the club endorse others pushing out their event. @Spud.Built contacted Moose for pushing their event last week, and I was contacted by Mike & Keys to push theirs.

Hi, everybody!

I'm driving a 2015 Jeep JK. I've added rock rails, front and back bumpers, and a winch. All stock, otherwise, but I may go to a 3" lift with 35s someday.

I'm in Alpine, CA, just a bit east of San Diego.

I'll be retiring in a couple of months and decided I want to spend more time with my Jeep, known as The Iron Horse. Figured this site might help make that happen.

I don't have a lot of experience, mostly just easy trails in the local mountains and desert. I'm not looking for anything extreme, I just like being out there.

I've been known to do a little geocaching on occasion. That's why I bought my first Jeep, about 12 years ago, so I could drive closer to the caches.

Take care, all. If you see me on the trail, flag me down.

RP done. It is also on the calendar for March. I'm sure they're happy to get the word out. They are part of the PNW4WDA, and it is advertised on the PNW4WDA website.

Hello everyone,
I am glad to be here and really excited to meet some new great people, learn more about overlanding , and go on some amazing adventure.

I have some moderate experience in overlanding, been on a few adventures, but ready to do a lot more.

I drive a modified 2008 Jeep Wrangler (JK) Unlimited Rubicon.I have a 4.5 inch Metalcloak lift and running 37 inch tires. My Jeep is constantly being messed with and modified.

I love all aspects of off-road travel to include overlanding (of course), rock crawling, water crossings, and playing in the mud.

I look forward to meeting many of you soon.

Hey Everyone,
My name is Eric

I live in Glenside PA (right outside of Philadelphia)
I drive a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road (with minor mods that include ditch lights, grille light bar, bed rack - with roof top tent coming in the future)
I am a beginner when it comes to Overlanding, but i have many years experience in relation to camping and the outdoors. Have over 7 plus years in scouting and have my Eagle Scout Rank. With being aged out of Scouts and everything im hoping this group brings back all those memories plus more. Hope to see some of you guys out on the trails and/or Roads!

Hi my name is Lukas I’m based in Seattle WA, after looking for all over the internet in ranger stations, and talking to people about good trails and campsites, one day I finally found overland bound well looking for overland videos on YouTube. I’d say I’m a novice in trail experiencebut intermediate in knowledge of gear, recovery, and good modifications. I drive a 2007 Toyota Tacoma TRD off-road,(only used the rear locker twice)the only mods done by previous owners are leveling kit and cold air intake. Any help and advice on mods would be great, and I hope to tag along on future events. View attachment 140482

Hi all. My name is Braden and I’m brand new to both overlanding and off roading. I’m looking to take my family of 4 on some adventures.

Since I’m such a novice I am going cheap on my first rig. I purchased a 2005 Nissan Xterra Off Road with 161k miles (no SMOD, yay!). I’ve got a long list of things I’d like to do with it but I’m starting small.

I’m located in Tooele County, UT, about 30 miles west of Salt Lake City. Apparently there’s some trails I can hit nearby but ultimately I’m looking to explore southern Utah and the surrounding states.

Welcome to Overland Bound Braden.

Hello everybody! My name is Jay and I live in Gardnerville, NV 30 minutes East of Lake Tahoe.

We have two vehicles we use for getting out in and both are mostly stock for now. 06 f350 6.0 utility truck (Tug), or 08 Outback xt (Rooby). We started in the Subaru with an SUV tent and that kind of evolved into using the F350 with a truck tent and the SUV tent aded on. Currently saving and prepping for a FWC Hawk Flatbed set up to go on the F350.

The girlfriend, myself and our dog just started adventuring a few years ago when we could. So I would consider us NOVICE Overlanders. Now we've found it's something we want to do every time the opportunity presents itself.

Thank you all for this community! Very excited to dig in!
