Hi everyone!
I'm from Valley City, Ohio.
I drive a 2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5.
I have ZERO overlanding experience but I plan to change that this year. I just bought my 4Runner this past October (2019). I'm open to any and all advice, suggestions or questions. I'm going to need A LOT of help from this community to make my overland dreams come true!

Hey OB family. Excited to be finally part of the movement. Our family hangs our just south west of Denver, CO on 4 acres. I have tons of backpacking experiences, but new to Overlanding. I was introduced to the idea about 20 years ago on my first trip to Ethiopia, where I got to see a Cape to Cairo expedition in the capital. It was there that I saw my first Land Rover Defender 110 up close and personal. It was then that my love for the iconic vehicle began and my desire to one day do the Cape to Cairo.

Last June, the first phase of the plan came to be. Working with a broker out of MN, I bought Maud, my 1990 RHD Defender. She was formerly a Search and Rescue Ambulance in Cheshire, UK. To say that I smile all the time is putting it mildly. I'm building her out myself with the intention of Overlanding North America with our family of 5.

Hi Everyone,

I just signed up for the forum as I recently got into overlanding (last year) due to some friends taking me out on a trip. I never realized how much fun we could have taking our trucks exploring in the woods and getting away from the concrete jungle. My other hobbies include saltwater fishing and waterfowl hunting, so overlanding is now another adventure to take the truck and dog on. A little about myself:

1. Terence, San Jose, CA
2. 2012 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Longbed SR5
Upgrades:​
Bilstein 5100s with Old Man Emu 885's​
1.5" Add a Leaf​
265/75R16 Goodyear Duratracs​
BAMF Rock Sliders​
Prinsu style (DIY) roof rack​
LED Bed lights​
LED Fog lights​
3. Limited overlanding experience
Did trips to Leavitt Lake and Barney Riley​
Looking for any suggestions, guidance, and advice that you all can offer. I'm looking to get my wife into overlanding as well, so any suggestions for some intro trips in Northern CA would be much appreciated!

Hey everyone!
Brand new to overlanding. I’ve done a lot of tent/TT camping. I’ve been watching ALOT of overlanding YouTube videos and really like what I’m seeing.
My rig is a 2010 F150 4x4 SuperCrew Lariat. The picture was taken recently after I put a 2” leveling kit (struts), rear shocks and new tires (Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/70r18).
I live in Little Rock, Ar, although work takes me to Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida Panhandle and Tennessee.
I look forward to learning from everyone!

safe travels!

Hey everybody, new here! Haven't done much overlanding but have been checking things out here for a while and figured this would be a good compliment to the kayaking and mountain biking I do.

I'm from West Virginia and I'm driving a 2016 GMC Sierra Z71 with a 3.5" lift and 33's plus a couple other minor mods. I look forward to exploring the forums a bit more and talking to everyone here!

New member from Arkansas. Been camping since I can remember. I've had this old Cherokee for a couple years now. Been exploring a few times in it. Now I just want to put the two together. Found out about this community from the youtube channel.
