[Iceman.Actual]

Location: Central Florida
Rig: 2006 Silverado 2500HD
Experience: Plenty of camping in general but zero overland

I am just starting to build out my rig. Waiting on a universal rack from RCI Offroad and I have a Eezi-Awn Series 3 1800 rooftop tent sitting on the ground waiting to be installed. Looking forward to finding many adventures and meeting some of you all in the process.

Intrigued to see the outcome, and hopefully some inspiration for my 1500. I'll be moving down Cape Coral way with the wife after I'm out of the service. Do some good scouting and maybe we'll have to get some coffee on a hilltop in Northern Florida.
Cheers and Welcome

Hey Y'all!

Payton here, I'm kinda from all over the Eastern Seaboard being active duty Navy, but now get to call Florida home as the wife and I just closed on our first house down in Cape Coral.
I just bought a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss that I am slowly getting rigged up in hopes of overlanding in the near future.
I have no experience per say in overlanding, but immense camping knowledge growing up in the Scouts and Field experience.
Any and all rigging advice is helpful as I am very novice when it comes to vehicles in general, let alone outfitting for overlanding.

Also, for those looking for medical coverage I'm an EMT on top of being a Corpsman with TCCC, ALCS, and Army 68W training so I'm very proficient in my craft and would love to provide if available!

-Cheers, Payton

New OB Member checking in from the Los Angeles area....

Rig: 2010 Nissan Xterra 4x4, OME Lift, Shrockworks Bumpers & Skids, Warn Winch, and more.
Location: San Fernando Valley, CA
Exp: Intermediate. Started getting out about 5 years ago and I just keep building on what I know through the willingness of others to share. I am joined by my lovely wife who is a great co-pilot, and my beautiful young kids who I want to instill a sense of wonder for the outdoors (and not just their electronic devices).

I look forward to being part of the community! - James

Hello from the PNW,

I am very new to Overlanding and recently realized that I live in one of the best areas of the country to get out and do so. I have been roaming the local forest roads and state land and planning my first overnighter soon. I drive a 2018 Chevy Colorado CCLB Diesel. Can’t wait to raise it up and put new shoes on her. If you are in SW Washington or the Portland area, give me a shout and I would be glad to chat.

Hi,
New member Sam here again. I didn't have a chance to upload some photos yesterday so here's some pics from the two times I've managed to get out there since I bought my FJ. The beach shots are from my first time driving on sand back in January up at Teewah in QLD and the shot with my dog is closer to home at 90 Mile Beach in Gippsland. The feeling I had looking at the sun rise up out of the Pacific Ocean was the reason I bought a 4WD and I can't wait to get back there.
Take care.

I have a few places I can go already, one of them being private land. Definitely will be posting pictures of my truck as I add things to it.

Hey people, my name is Michael, I am a Leo and I like like long drives in the outback with my mate, Howard. I live in Sydney Australia and Meet Howard the Hilux, he is my blue friend (Trust me it is blue under that dirt) Usually he needs a bath as I would rather drive him than wash him.
He is a work in progress as after every trip I find something I want to change, hey it keeps me out of the pub and too poor to afford a mistress So the wife is happy.

Hello everyone!

Looking forward to getting to know the community, I’ve been a fan of the videos for a while, and interested in overlanding for a very long time!

• Location - Salt Lake City, UT
• Vehicle 1 - 1994 Toyota Hiace Super Custom
• Vehicle 2 - 2017 Ram 1500 Rebel
• Overlanding experience - novice; excited to start getting out there

My first dedicated adventure rig begs for a lightweight, minimalist setup, so I’ve been taking tons of notes from videos and forums. So far, I’ve done a full mechanical review of the van. My first upgrades have been a set of K02’s, new shock absorbers, torsion bars, and coil springs (rear) from Dobsons. It’s a challenge to find some parts, but I’m enjoying the full time 4x4 and KZ diesel. Photo attached, this is before suspension work was done.

Given all the free time, I’m keeping my eyes open for an ‘01 100 Series to start building out for solo adventuring.
