Hello from central Florida. I'm Doc and I joined along with the wife, Ryan. We just bought a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero and are in the process of making it our overlander vehicle. We have been camping (glamping) for quite a few years in an RV but wanted to try a more minimalistic approach (not as minimal as my ole Army Ranger days though... LOL) while exploring the back country. Happy to find this group sp we can read and learn! The Monty is at the shop getting maintenance and lift done but as soon as it's back I can post a few photos. Cheers!

Hello all!

my name is Joe and we hail from the Pacific Northwest! I'm looking forward to learning from all the experienced folks in here. My family and I love to adventure and explore new places.

Location: Kennewick, Washington

Rig: 1997 Mitsubishi Montero LS , bone stock. I'm running 31x10.5x15s and just a basic roof rack with basket for now.

Overland experience: Just started overlanding, but have been wheeling for over 20 years. Had several mudding rigs in the past, but overloading is definitely more family friendly. Currently teaching my 14year old daughter how to drive off road....And now she wants her own rig!

Aloha,

New Seattle area member. I lurked around this website for a couple years, but the videos Corrie and Mike have posted on YouTube since the quarantine started convinced me to be part of the community. Keep up the good work you two!!

Over the past year, I have slowly been building up my '11 Xterra Pro4X into an overland rig. So far, the hardest part is giving her a name.

It has been a couple decades since my off road and camping adventures, so I feel like I am learning all over again. I can't wait to meet people and start exploring.

Stay healthy,

Charlie

Hey everyone,

My names Kaden.I live in Anchorage Alaska with my wife and dog.
We love hitting the road in our 2012 Nissan Frontier and finding new places to camp hike and fish.
Been camping/fishing and getting outdoors for a few years now but new to truck camping/ boondocking/overlanding to find more secluded spots that most other people don’t want to go.
Pretty new to off roading but eager to learn more and connect with other like minded folks in the area to explore more of the state!

Hi everyone, from England.
We’ve recently picked up a 2013 JKU Wrangler but also get out in our slightly lower tech 1972 VW Westfalia. The jeep has a few mods lined up down the line and plenty of adventures once we can.
View attachment 1534561)

View attachment 153457
We aren’t new to camping, exploring or driving around aimlessly but we are new to the more “off grid” nature of overlanding. The UK isn’t that well setup for it, but we definitely felt a bit freer across Europe in the bus last year.

stay safe.

Howdy All!

I'm Keith, and I just joined on Star Wars Day, and super excited to be a part of the group! Just got the truck I've been wanting for the last number of years, so now's the time to get into this! Always have loved camping and the outdoors, and used to hike a decent amount. While I have driven across some fairly gnarly terrain in Edwards County, TX, I'd still consider myself Novice. All my experience was in ATV's and a Polaris Ranger. :smile:

My rig is a 2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2 (seen below.) Stock except for a quad-folding bed cover that came with it when I bought it. Dream of rigging this thing out though!


Hope to meet some of y'all soon!

Been following along for many years, now finally a member. From Halifax, Nova Scotia. Spent a lot of time camping with family when I was very young. When we had our own kids 11 years ago I wanted to make sure they had those same memories when they grew up. That's how the journey started. Currently drive a 2017 4Runner Offroad. I am also a huge Land Rover fan. As I get time to get them running, I will post pics of them as well. LOL. I look forward to this new adventure. The picture I am posting is a little bit vehicle and scenery from last summer. Can't wait to get back out on the trails when things get back to normal.

Hi all,

I just became a member a little but ago.

I'm in the Sacramento area, have an 04 f150 that is slowly getting molded.
Have been into overlanding for a very ling time.
In the past few years have been to Verdi Peak in the Truckee area. As well as ice house and Slate Mountain.

Also yearly trips to good old Pismo Beach as well as weekend camping trips.
Always take my Dogs with me...They love the out doors and water and snow regardless of how cold it is.

Well We're in. I have always loved adventure... sad that I've found this style so late in life. New member as of this morning (24563). I think by becoming a real member it will give me the drive to get out of my little rut. I have began some training for hikes that I have set for next year. I have the RTT and scouting 4x4's (Tacoma looks like the one) and still undecided. Hope to make some local trips when the curfew has lifted, see what we need, then start to venture out as far as the 2WD Yukon can take us.
Located in McKinney, TX
2WD rig for now
No Overland experience yet... but have done lots of tent camping, RV'ing, some hiking in the Smoky Mountain area. :-) That will change.
