Hello Overlanders! I’m Camaron, brand new to overlanding/off-roading. Just picked up my dream suv a few weeks ago: 2004 V8 4Runner LTD. We are in the Richmond, VA area. No pictures yet.
Next will be a suspension lift and tires, and getting my badges put on. Looking at either OME or Toytec.
Glad to be here!

Hello, I’m MudTruck and I am a 50 year old newbie from Quebec Canada.

I do not yet have a rig but I have been following overland bound on YouTube. My family and I have been camping for many years but it’s time to move on. One of the boys has joined the army and the youngest is at an age where he would rather stay home. So we are selling the trailer and starting something new! I am hoping to learn a lot from you guys and will purchase a different véhicule within the next year.

Thank you and please be safe!

Realized I never posted here! And I've already started a build thread on my BUDGET truck! I'm excited to be part of the group and have already learned a few things from the forums DIY section. Glad to be part of the community! A shot of my budget build thus far:

Hi Everyone, excited to join the group. Just picked up a 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4x with 50,000 miles on it to replace my 04 Xterra. Looking forward to exploring more trails and hopefully meeting some of you in person!

1) Picture - New rig is the red one, the Green 04 is heading to retirement (AKA going to my dad to just make runs to grocery store and enjoy life at the property in SC)
2) Location - Home base is Charlotte NC but work takes me all over. Work in freelance Documentary/Reality TV world. Mostly on Nat Geo Wild Programming.
3) Rig - 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4x. Still stock, but have some plans already in the works!
4) Overlanding Experience Background - Just basic trail rides right now, want to start working on my skills. Meeting new people to go on rides with.

Hello!
I've been a guest reading forums for years now. My wife got me a membership for Christmas last year (she's the best). I've never been much of a person to post or share online, but I'm hoping to change that here.

As it says above, I'm Travis.
I was raised in Northern Alberta (Grande Prairie), but home now is Rexburg, Idaho. I've been here 8 years and will be here for the foreseeable future.

I grew up hiking and camping. I love driving back roads and getting out where people aren't.

Our rig is a 2010 Subaru Forester (Limited Edition). It is still stock, but I have high hopes and plans for it. We got it a year ago and have already been on some great adventures.

This is a great community! I look forward to getting out more, taking care of nature, meeting some of you, helping other people, and making new friends!

(Here is our New Year's day adventure up Kelly Canyon)

New guy here from Wyoming. Been adventuring for years on motorcycles. I just love the looks of the Overland rigs and I’m ready for more comforts than minimalist bike travel! My new wife and I will be out and about in my paid for 2011 Chevy Silverado. Hope to run into some of you guys!

Welcome Back Mike! I hope you have a better experience this time around.

Deb and Doug here, dreaming about when we can get back out into the wild!

We just joined and look forward to being inspired by a LOT of like-minded folks out there. We live in So Cal with our rescue Dobie Lucy, and have a little get-outta-the-city place up near Lake Tahoe, where we spend as much time as we can spare.

We have a 2014 JKU Rubicon X (stock), and are contemplating a few modifications to take on more challenging trails. We'd love to learn more about back-country adventures from those more experienced in off-roading. We're quite experienced with camping and backpacking, but haven't fully taken advantage of the Jeep's capabilities to get way off the beaten path.

We also have a 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40 that is a wonderful old beast, but isn't seeing quite as much action these days since getting the Jeep---we're considering getting her into someone's hands who might have more time for her, and trade for a Hiker Trailer to work towards realizing our plan of a 3-4 week road trip to Glacier Park and everything in between.

Hope everyone is staying safe and well, and can't wait to get back out on the road!

Welcome Deb and Doug! Beautiful FJ!

Well hi there names Donald. I’m just getting into overlanding. Working off of a 01 4Runner and just slowly piecing it all together. I’m from Jax Florida and I’m super excited to be here

My name is Rob and I'm in eastern Missouri. My family has been overlanding for a few years now with our baby Jeep. Great adventure over most of Western USA

Wow! Thanks, Kent! We’ll definitely have to get in touch with some of the “locals”. We would especially be interested in the clean-up in the El Dorado NF...when we’re able to head up north we’ll reach out. The trail is likely not too distant from our cabin off Hwy 50. Appreciate all the great information!
