Hello all!

My name is Mike and after numerous delays on my 4x6 trailer build, its looking like ill have all my parts and can do a test run in the coming weeks. So I figured this is good as time as ever to officially join OB.

Experience with overlanding is non-existent however I'm a seasoned backpacker who is tired of sleeping on the ground. Ill be using my new stock TRD OFF Road for most trips. No major modifications in the future since its my daily for now.

Howdy!
I'm Steve, out of Cleveland Ohio. Rig is a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport Manual trans. Just lifted it yesterday after purchasing off the lease. It's been off road a ton while leasing but now it's on to more serious ventures. A friend of mine and I run Tri State Overland and try to get out 1-2 times a month everywhere on the east side of the Mississippi, as we're based out of Ohio, PA and NY. Currently, the truck sits on a Dobinson's 3.5" front/3" rear lift and 33" Cooper ST MAXX tires, factory rims still because I like them. My experience is mostly local off road parks and easier stuff but now that the truck isn't a lease, I plan to tackle much more. This weekend, we're running DBBB and next year I have plans to travel out west to Colorado and Utah, maybe some California trips.

Hello, I am new here just bought a 2020 4Runner TRD Off-Road Prem. I live in Wilmington NC and looking forward to exploring the coast here and further afield to the mountains. Also, just relocated from Scotland :-)

 

[Smonroyy]

Hi all! Older member but new to the forums. Recently moved to So Cal from CO. Looking to explore the area more!

 

[AEuropa]

Hi all! I’m Alex and I live in Bozeman, MT. I’m new to Overlanding. I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro w/ a Skycamp Mini RTT. I’ve been an avid hiker/backpacker for years, and I started overlanding to give myself opportunities to explore deeper and farther into the backcountry. I’m a Wilderness EMT and plan to join the county’s volunteer Search and Rescue team as soon as they start accepting new applicants (currently on hold due to COVID). I’m also General HAM (callsign K9ALE).

PS: My dog’s name is Abba, she’s a retired Military Working Dog who is finally figuring out how to be a pet.

1) Picture! Done !
2) Location: Northwest Georgia, U.S.A.
3) Rig: 2014 Nissan XTerra - "Hooker Howie"

Hi to all! Andrew and Shelby here! Feel free to drop by for a cold (or hot) one if you're in our area. ✌

 

[CG87]

Hello...been on here a few times in the past. Novice offroad with Jeep and overlanding. Prior US Army, know the Hmmwv, getting to know the Jeep. 2014 2Dr Rubicon...yeah 2Dr rigged for overlanding? Living out of our vehicle for the first 3 months of the war in 2003, I learned a lot about self sustainment and relying completely on our vehicle. As well as space management. I'm in Colorado in the Summer, and the Death Valley area in the Winter. I am a full time RV'er, but go on 5 to 10 day jaunts in the backcountry with the Jeep.
