[Kent R]

Hello,

My overlanding to date has been on two wheels. I explore with a DRZ 400 heavily accessorized. Currently I'm looking to buy an 11th gen F150 and build a topper camper with the topperezlift kit.

Located near Chattanooga, TN.

Looking forward to building connections and learning from the community!

Hello everyone,

I'm a new member from Nashville, TN. My rig is a 2003 Land Cruiser. A couple years ago, my wife and I spent a summer Overlanding throughout SW Colorado and that got us hooked! Some of the first Overlanding videos I watched were of Michael. Great stuff! I consider myself a novice with plenty to learn.

Regards,

Mark

Hello my name is Heather and I am fairly new to Overlanding. I took a trip early this summer with Mountain State Overland and loved the adventure! I spent the remainder of the summer and fall exploring and even went out on a limb and guided a small group of friends on one of my trips. I have always enjoyed off-roading and have a Jeep Rubicon well equipped for that purpose, but those trips were typically limited to day trips within the tristate area. Equipping my Jeep with accessories allowing me to navigate and camp off the beaten path has been a great decision. I live in Shepherdstown, WV.

Thanks for allowing me to join the group!

Already did an intro once, but things have changed and wanted to update and re-introduce! Currently stationed at Ft. Drum, but my wife and daughter live in Tennessee near Ft. Campbell. We just traded in the 4Runner to get into this beauty! 2018 JL, was stock but because it’s the end of the year we were able to wheel and deal and get them to throw in a 2.5” lift and put some Nitto Ridge Grappler 33’s on Fuel rims! Lots of plans in the future, but excited to be in the 4x4 community! Can’t wait for the weather to get nice again and get her out with the top and doors off!

Hi, I'm Becky and my husband is Jon. We are from Lakewood CA.
We have a 2015 Toyota Tacoma. It's pretty much Stock right now other than a lift and better shocks/ struts.
I grew up off roading and rock crawling with my dad. My husband and I have done some off roading as well. I would put us in a novice/ intermediate level. As far as our rig, it's set for easy to moderate trails.

I'm a noob member here (OB#26254), and somewhat new to full scale adventure rig off roading. I previously rode a Honda TRX700XX, and then a TRX450ER, and decided I was at the point in life I need to save the body and get into something a little more comfortable! I drive a 2019 Ford Ranger XLT with a few tame mods done to it, and big hopes of doing more. I've also recently purchased a 2021 nuCamp T@G Boondock teardrop trailer that I like to tow along sometimes, though I'm not a stranger to tent camping and still enjoy being away from the traffic and out in the quiet parts! I hope to meet and explore with other members of this great community.

Hi everyone! New here but not really new to overlandong in general. I've got a 2004 ford ranger that I'm in the process of a long awaited total overhaul into an overlanding toy.

Solar, on board slide out kitchen, research, 360⁰ lighting, 270⁰ awning dual swingouts and all that fun stuff.

Her main purpose is to take me mountain biking, climbing and just wheeling.

 

[MarioT'sCJResto]

Happy New Year from Upstate NY, love the rig and the MTB. I have a FS
Stance and Fat Tire. Looking to buy a FS E-Bike this summer. Nothing too crazy
Well welcome to the Team

Location: Alaska
Rig: '18 Toyota Tacoma
Exp: Grew up in NM on a road that most would probably consider 4wd only, but for me was just going home. I definitely have a lot to learn. Right now I'm just trying to figure out the best layout for me and my pupper.

 

[Kevlar71]

Nice to meet everyone! I’m from Central Arkansas. I have quite a bit of off roading and camping experience, but I’m very new to overlanding, and I’ve always been intrigued by it. I can’t wait to see the day when I don’t have to “work” Monday-Friday, and I can really get out there. Here’s a pic of my 2000 Land Cruiser. I got a great deal on her a few months back, she had 220k miles, a couple of dents on the driver side, a very old looking timing belt, the valve covers were leaking, and the drivers side exhaust manifold was cracked. Otherwise she ran great, and was rust free. I replaced the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, crank and cam seals, serpentine belt along with a few new pulleys, then I tackled that drivers side manifold (not fun at all). Removed the running boards and put on a set of tundra steel wheels with 275/70/18s. I’m really wanting to add some more stuff to her, but I also really want to get an 80 Series or another GX470 to overland with instead of the 100 Series. Still can’t decide.
