Hello, My name is Jason and I am interested in overlapping as a means to explore new opportunities. Currently, my wife and I have a stock 2016 Subaru Outback that we will use for the short term while we break into this new world. We live in Utah County, Utah, and enjoy everything about the desert so far. Can't wait to get started!

I'm Phillip, I did some fun trail riding in Washington when I was stationed in oak harbor (with my 98 Ford explorer 4x4). But more exploring than actual goinf to off road parks. Since I've moved pack to Panama City Florida 2017. I went back to college and got an 2018 Nissan Frontier Desert Runner 4X2. I enjoy riding down trails and exploring new places. Today I'm actually going over to Apalachicola National Forest for some exploring with a buddy. Here's a pic of my truck after Hurricane Michael. Just a scratch on the hood

Hello all,
Many nicknames but I go by Andy. I've been into camping and exploring the outdoors to one degree or another my entire life. Some buddies infected me with this overlanding bug. Been upgrading my 1977 International Scout Traveler this winter. Onboard air, gears, lockers, rear disc conversion, steering mods, onboard nav, 4340 axles in D44 F&R. In March a M416 trailer fell in my lap that I've upgraded to have a telescopic roof top tent rack on linear actuators, steel life with gas struts, and fuel/water carriers. Raptor lined the whole dang thing and it went on it maiden voyage Memorial Day weekend. The trailer also has a smittybilt overlander xl and cvt foxwing with walls. Been a fast couple months.
Really glad to join the community and make some connections on where to go and what to do.

Hello Fernando, welcome to the OB community.

Don't know if this posting will make any sense because I am SO SO SO HAPPY to have finally joined. I have been following the OB Instagram page for quite some time and now regretting not joining sooner as the #'s have sky rocketed since I started following to now. I always felt that if I didn't have the correct vehicle, I shouldn't be part of the club as I don't think a twin turbo charged 08 Mustang would have done well Overlanding . I began my adventure in building an Overland vehicle about 6 months in hope of being able to enjoy the outdoors with my father. My father was in a very bad car accident 3 years ago where he had broken his neck, back, skull, leg, and ankle (among many other injuries) and has not been able to go out since. My father was an avid camper and hiker and he truly misses the outdoors. Since he is no longer mobile and can only travel short distances walking, I thought why not build something that can get my Dad where he wants to go!

1) Will be uploading photos soon !
2) Kirkland, WA
3) 2014 Ram 1500 Limited Laramie Crew Cab
4) Avid back packer and experienced offroader with quads. New to the truck/jeep wheeling scene but many years of recovery and logistics as I use to own my own logistics company.

Hello Rich, welcome to the OB community. So sorry to hear about your dad, that must have been a horrible car accident. I think it's great that you want to get your dad back to the outdoors and I hope that works out well for both of you.

Hey Gene!

Wow stellar rig! I actually just passed through Boulder Creek after going to the coast this past weekend beating the inland heat. Currently there isn’t a regular meet up on your side of the hill but the east bay has one. I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Pleasanton CA there is a meet up on the second Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active. The Tri-Valley (Pleasanton) group has number of plans already laid out for June through November. Our next meet up will be June 14th, HOPEFULLY in person! But the Zoom meetings have been good as well.


This is the regular meet up info

Welcome! Everyone starts out the same, wanting to see more of the world around them. What I love about overlanding is it can get me further and deeper than I would have ever gone otherwise. Plus I can sleep comfortably which helps! Hahaha

Take a look at the calendar and you’ll see you are not too far from the Tri-Valley meet up in the east bay. June 14th is our next meeting, which just might happen in person.

Glad you’re here.

 

[Ranger Brand]

1) Actually ordering my rig right now to pick up when I return to the states.
