Here are two pictures from our first trip into Ocala National Forest.

Location: Central FL
Rig: 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad
Overlanding Experience Background: Beginner. My fiance & I are experienced backpackers and we were bit by the overlanding bug a few years back after watching a couple of videos on Youtube. We used our 2WD Tundra as much as we felt comfortable over the last two years (mostly tame forest roads) and felt it was time to upgrade and downsize into a more capable rig. We purchased our Tacoma last month and took her out to ONF yesterday for a little social distancing.

I'm looking forward to becoming more active in the community!

Hello OB! Glad to join. I admire the "community" created here. Met Michael in Costa Mesa a few weeks ago at the Adventure Expo and decided then to join. Hope to learn a lot, meet cool peeps and participate in some fun. Overlanding wasn't a word to me a year ago. I have some camping and off road experience but I'm no expert. My veh is a 2004 discovery 2, so I'm a mechanic in training as well!! Lol. It's called Rove Again because this is my second disco. it's a love/hate thing for sure.

Hi, I'm Bradley and I'm a 17 year old based out of Colorado. I love off roading, and after getting a 2015 Jeep Wrangler figured the only reasonable place to go would be to set it up for overlanding. I got a minimum wage job to help pay the bills and am slowly making my way to my dream rig. My experience is limited in overloading, but not my outdoors experience. I'm an avid hiker, hunter, and fisher, and can't wait to see what experiences overlanding has set for me.

Hi

My name is Jakes, although in the Army I am known as 'Van'
I have a family of three (growing to 4 in September) and a dog, ex Army Search dog who has suspiciously taken to retirement VERY well!
I drive a 2016 Ford Ranger Wildtrak, 3.2l i5 Diesel
My experience is varied in overlanding, I grew up in South Africa where we did long expeditions in SA and to Mozambique but I now reside in the UK so am cutting about Europe.

My Set-up currently looks like:
View attachment 145211View attachment 145212

We had plans to go explore Northern Spain and France for three weeks starting next Friday but that has now been cancelled due to current events. We are however ready to go once travel restrictions are lifted! in the mean time I will be carrying on the 'build' and planning trips in the UK
