[Shadow Overland]

Hola OB Folks!

Shadow Overland here (a.k.a. Fred) Why Shadow? I'll tell ya some time, but that's him in the pic.
Location: West Palm Beach, FL

Rig: 2018 F150 SuperCrew 4x4 w/ a 3.0L Powerstroke. The rig pic is Christmas 2020 fresh out of the shop with a 4" BDS suspension lift, Teraflex Falcon sport tow/haul shock system, Deaver HD rear left springs, 35x12.5 Toyo Open Country AT IIIs on 18x9 Mamba M25s

Experience: Been off-roading since my teens getting stuck with my buddies every chance we got, but went home every night. The sleepovers outside are new. Getting some additional mods this month and then starting the bed rack / storage / sleeping bed in February. Looking forward to meeting other members out on the trail.

Howdy yall,

My name is Andrew and I am a newb at overlanding. I recently purchased my dream truck (Chevrolet Colorado) and I am looking to take it on trails in Texas or just about where ever with the proper planning. I live in Fort Worth, Texas and I can't wait to explore this upcoming spring/summer. I hope to meet some friends. :)

Howdy Snapless,

I see that you are from San Antonio, Tx. I used to live over there. That is an awesome looking photo. If you know of any people from Texas that go on camping adventures I would love to tag along. I would love to plan a trip to Big Bend! I never been.

Hello Darnell (@DarnellC ), welcome from Oklahoma.
I don't believe we have a meet up in the SA area, the closest meet I can think of is the 1st Saturday of each month in Round Rock. US Southwest - Recurring - North Central Texas Meet & Greet

Kent provided all of my usual links but I will also invite you to join the FaceBook group if you are on FB. Overland Bound – Southwest.

Welcome to the OB crew, stay tuned, you can learn a lot here.

Thanks, I saved up to buy my dream base rig, and now I am slowly going to do some upgrades. I look forward to talking to the crew.

Glad to be a member finally. My family has been an avid Jeep family for years and we are glad to be exploring the new adventure of Overlanding. We are grateful for the great resource we have found here. We are planning our 25th anniversary trip to Colorado and surrounding area in the Spring. Hoping to gain some wisdom on where to visit while out there and where to set up camp from day to day.
