Glad to be here and look forward to everything that comes along the way!

An amateur Overlanding enthusiast with my daily driven 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser from the SF Bay Area. No major alterations other than the typical mods most of us usually start off with. And since it's my daily, I probably won't go to far with the mods (I say that now) but just enough to get me to and from, comfortably and reliably of course.

Howdy all -

My name is Steve and I'm in the Seattle area. Most of my experience has been backpacking / camping, but I am looking forward to being able to travel further/faster, experience wide open vistas, enjoy night skies with no light pollution, and see areas that are new (to me).

I'm driving a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, which I am (slowly) building out:

Hello to everyone,
I am currently living in Youngstown, Ohio, but have lived in many other places here and overseas.

I've been traveling and exploring in my pickup for the last couple of years. In 2018, my son (23841) and I travel 10000 miles through 7 National Parks, Banff/Jasper Provincial Parks and back again.

20191025_135950.jpg

Last year we climbed Pikes Peak, while overlanding to alpine lakes and rivers to hike and fly fish.

20190907_145149-01.jpeg

My stock F350 (my daily work truck) certainly fulfills my needs so far but always looking to make things better, safer and more exciting.

I'm looking forward to learning from this community

Hello everybody!

Rig: 2000 Nissan Frontier
Mods: basically stock except for Schrockworks skid plates (best investment ever) and some taller tires.
Skill: definitely novice

Ordered a membership (I don’t know the number yet).

Hoping to meet other members in our area and find some legal trails and camping locations around NJ/ NY

Welcome and very nice looking rig you got started there!! I have a Titan I am starting a build on. All I have so far is air compressor, maxx tracks, and a few other small pieces. I come from backpacking so I have ground tents and such right now.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum stuff, not so new to the trails.
My name is Todd
I drive a 2008 Toyota Tacoma and live in Las Vegas NV. I originally set my truck up so that I would be able to go to some of the more remote mountain bike trails and be able to stay a few days. Before I knew it I'd built an overland rig. Not perfect but it mine. Then on Instagram I started to see people getting these cool little metal medallions and I had to find out more.View attachment 149300
That’s a cool truck.
Looking forward to more picture. Be safe out there.

Hey, all! I'm in Coastal Virginia and a novice when it comes to trails, off-roading, etc., but not camping itself. I'm looking to combine the two and see where the adventures take us. I have a 2019 Rebel, bone stock, and am looking to get the necessities and start off on some trips!

Hi, my name is JJ.
My home of record is in NC but I live overseas in Qatar.
I have a 2019 4Runner (voodoo blue) and her name is ‘Consuelo’.
I work on fighter jets (ejection seats) for Boeing.
I’m a novice, but definitely want to get out and explore, unfortunately I can’t really do that until I move back to the US full time, hopefully within the next two years. So in the meantime, when I come home for a visit, I just go to the mountains. I do want to mod my rig for overlanding and travel across America. I’ve seen more of the world than I have of the US. Anyway, that’s it. Peace!
JJ
