Hello All. I'm slowly transitioning over from offroading to overlanding as my family grows. We've been working on our Jeeps to make them more comfortable for family adventures.

We have two Jeeps one mild, one wild. Both are Jeep Cherokees. 1999 Jeep Cherokee Limited (Red) 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2 door (Black)
Located In N. Texas
Have a history in back packing, but my family is too young for that type of adventure yet.

Hey guys,
Grumpy (aka Bob) here. Newbie, but have purchased our RTT to get us started this spring. We only have a 2-wheel drive 2003 Yukon XL, so hoping to find some nice off road areas for 2wD. We are looking at Tacoma Off Road trucks later in the year once we get back to work as a school bus driver. We'll scour the forums for some nice 2wD areas, but if anyone knows of a few in the mountains of NM or CO, please let me know. We're in the Dallas, TX area and planning a few very local shake down weekends to see what is truly needed. We've been camping alot when we were younger, tents and RV's, but this will be a big first with backroads and true adventure! Hope to see ya soon! Stay safe and wash those hands. :-)

Hi everyone, Jason here. I'm new here. I currently have a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. I'm just looking at getting back into overlanding. I used to own a Toyota FJ and loved it. I live in Ventura CA. If one of the admins read this can you PM me. I have a question about membership.

Hey everyone! Names Andrew and I'm from the Seattle area. Just got a 2020 Tacoma and I'm building it out for some fun adventures. Always been a car camper but I'm looking at getting a rtt soon and going that direction with my adventures. Always looking for good camping spots and trails to explore so hit me up with any suggestions or advice!
Welcome! I’m over in Sammamish, let me know if I can answer any questions or if you want to hit the trail sometime. Go check out Rally Point for some good local OB related activities, hopefully some of us will be doing part of the WABDR in June.
