Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Kent R]

A recent transplant from KC, I have just landed in Tulsa OK.
In late march I picked up this 2011 4R. Added a lift kit, Black Rhino wheels, Front Runner rack, Front Runner drawer system, ARB fridge, rear light bar, led fogs and a new stereo.
I am a NOVICE overlander, but plan to change that this summer as my Roof Nest arrives in a few days. :)
My work takes me all over OK and KS working on SCADA systems for water and waste water.

Hey there everyone!

Super psyched to join this awesome community, I’ve heard nothing but good things about you all!

My wife and I are Elopement + Intimate Wedding Photographers based out of the Great Smoky Mountains.

We've got a 2006 Jeep Commander with a 2 inch lift + 32” tires. Haven’t done a ton of overlanding in it yet but this summer we’re setting out across the country to visit some of our favorite spots (and of course find some new places!) Debating doing the Trans-America Trail, any tips or thoughts are appreciated!

Hi all

Just joined as a new member from the UK.

After many years of desert overloading in the Middle East, and now after returning to the UK a number of years ago, we have decided to go back to something we really enjoy.

I'm a Jeep addict, as this is the only brand of vehicle that I have owned since getting my permit far too many years ago!

We bought a Wrangler JLUR last year, and I am nearly finished getting everything ready for some adventures in a and around Europe and beyond.

Well I bit the bullet and excited about getting to know yall. I'm member #23058 Ive been on the forums for awhile but haven't posted a lot.
I'm a husband and a father of 3, and my rigs are a 2014 ram 1500 lonestar 4x4 5.7 and a 2017 jeep grand cherokee trailhawk 4x4 5.7.
I have been itching to do a walk around video of my rig. It's nothing special and mostly diy. May do it on this weekends camping trip.

I am however having an issue with the app. I am a member now but its still showing me as a guest, and will not allow me to access anything.

Howdy Folks-

New member here, and glad to have found this community. I put most of my background in my bio page, but wanted to drop by here and "Say Hey".

I'm getting back into the off-road life and over-landing in my '05 Silverado. She's essentially stock at this point (save for the 33s), and I'll be building her into my dream truck. I'll probably document it all here in a forum, but will try to put it on You Tube as well.

I've recently relocated with my family to Utah from Alaska. Moving out of Alaska was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but aging parents make for hard decisions becoming a bit easier.

I enjoy fishing, backpacking, skiing, photography, drinking beer and whiskey, camp fires, and good friends. What I know of "mechanic-ing" I learned the hard way, and am halfway decent. My job as a bomb tech has given me a fair amount of experience in chasing electronic problems and fixing them. With luck, some of that experience will come in handy here.

Hope to see you all out on the trail.

South East Tennessee here. Excited to be on board! Just starting out, well kind of. I've been around outdoors and camping and off-roading for many years, I guess before the term Overlanding was coined, we just went. Thanks for having me and my family!

Lloyd aka Frogg and Angie aka Wildcat. We have two children ages 15 and 8.


The Family ride! 2019 T4r TRD ORP. Suspension upgrades in the garage and coming...update once installed. Waiting on my tire decision. I can't make up my mind between AT or MT for the Family ride. Those dunflops gotta go!!

Maiden voyage to Gauley River Area, WV.




We got the rack and the RTT installed and had the maiden sleep in the back forty due to quarantine closures!




The "other ride". My baby!
87 SR5 Local Sunday drive in the Cherokee NF, Chilhowee Mtn in TN.

Hello everyone. Travis here from Bellingham, WA. I have spent a lot of time in the woods. Until recently, a pickup has always simply been a way to haul your gear in/out. A couple years ago a good friend introduced me to the concept of Overland travel. Because of that, I have seen more new ground in the past couple years than the 10+ prior to that. So far, in addition to a ton of day trips and base camp trips, we have traveled the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (WABDR) Conconully to Canada with a return via Canada and an epic WA, OR, ID, WY, CO, MT, Yellowstone road trip. If the COVID conditions allow it, we have WABDR Conconully to Ellensburg planned for June and a northern BC trip planned for July/August. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
