Hi All! I finally pulled the trigger on getting my OB membership! I bought my 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser nearly 5 years ago to be my hunting/fishing/family adventure vehicle, and it's been a work in progress ever since. This was two years ago from our first family camping trip as a family of 5. We've gone on many more since then, but not many great pics of the rig.

Hello, Mike here from Redwood City, Ca.

‘17 Lexus GX-not built out, but things are happening

Experience: yes, no, kind of,

50’s retiree, I’ve always been a fan of exploring and being outdoors hiking, biking, backpacking. I have some additional time since retiring. I’m not 100% sure what I’m looking for yet re overlanding. I think OB can help, and I can possibly help others in return.

Hi, I’m Jason!

I live in the center of NC and drive a 2016 as our primary off highway vehicle.We also have a 5th gen 4Runner which is my wife’s daily driver we use as a hub/Basecamp every so often. I’m not new to “off-road” but new to the Overlanding style of travel. We’ve done parts of the TAT and a few small trips to test my route building skills. Hoping to do a cross country trip in the next few years but have a lot to learn and a few more pieces of gear to acquire.
