Hello from North Carolina! Happy to be back (lived in Denver, CO and ST. Louis, MO recently)
2005 Subaru Outback XT - nervous about the turbo but we'll see how it goes.
Somewhere between intermediate and experienced. Knowledge of car maintenance and mechanics is the part I'm working on the most.

Hello everyone! My name is Alejandro, and I currently live in Orlando, Fl. I have a 2011 Jeep JK that I love to death, and ive been slowly upgrading it since I first got it out of the dealership. I have been on a few overlanding trips with my group of friends, and this picture is from out first team outing back in December 2019. I believe that I still got a lot to learn, so I am really excited to be part of this community.

Hello and thanks for having me! Brand new, just joined today. My name is Chuck D and I'm in Clarksville, TN. I'm working on a 2001 Land Rover Discovery 2 build. Started with mechanical stuff first, but have since had Terra Frima HD suspension, Terra Firma 16x8 Black steal wheels with AT Ironman 285/75r16. Rides a lot smoother now. Looking forward to getting new ideas and learn the ropes! I love the outdoors and traveling. I spent 10yrs in the Army and still love being in the woods. I've already acquired a 3 y/o CVT Mt. Shasta, but no roof rack yet. I couldn't pass up the deal. Here is the rig so far....

Stay safe!

Hi everyone!

I'm from the Metro Detroit area. I've driven the entire Route 66 in my 2011 Mustang GT back in 2012, so I have "road trip" experience, but not much overlanding experience. The Mustang is gone and I now daily drive a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. A few simple mods, so far. My "experience level" would be "Novice," as I've only done a few trails here and there so far. Here's a photo of "Frank the Tank" in the urban outback of Metro Detroit!

Hello Overlanders,

My beautiful wife and I have relocated to SW Kansas and my marathon running days are over. We use to be on the road all the time building windfarms and now it is time to go overlanding for fun and vacation.

I am close to closing a deal on a 08 GX470 (stock) and have really enjoyed reading all of the different builds and adventures so far.

So we will all be able to gather and be social and I look forward to meeting the locals and the new adventures that are in store for us.

Kind Regards,

Don & Anita.

Good morning! My name is JD, and I'm on my 3rd Toyota, a 2011 Trail edition 4runner. Just moved to Denver, about a week before the lockdowns, but originally from Nebraska, and have lived all over the place during my 15 years in the Air Force.

Have done some offroading, and excited to connect with the bigger overlanding community.
