Hi all. I have a 2010 Subaru Outback with a 2.5l engine and 6 speed manual transmission. I am a former CNC machinist and current law student. I have a lot of parts coming in for the wagon (skids, Prinsu rack, suspension) I hope to have a daily driver that is capable and dependable. I love the forum. Cheers!

Welcome to Overland Bound
You might ask the roof rack question on one of the build pages, I am sure you will get lots of replies.

Hi OB Community,

daveblademan here from CT .. currently have a 2016 Jeep Sahara with:
Mods: 3.5 AEV lift kit, 35" Ridge Grappler tyres, 20" Raceline wheels, dual battery, SPoD, Onboard ARB compressor, AEV Snorkel, Frontrunner slimline rack, Tepui RTT, AEV front bumper, rear bumper with tyre carrier, maxtrax etc etc..
Overlanding experience ?: not a rock crawler ! but overloading, some.. however CT doesn't have the accessibility like Southern CA :-( so the nearest 'playground' seems to be Maine..
Next challenge: I've a 2002 Ford Explorer that I'd like to lift, new wheel/tyres etc and do some level of overloading with (now the kids can drive)... but researching like heck on just what is doable...
Ultimate desire: would LOVE to get my hands on a 110 Defender and see what can be done, but loving the Jeep life currently...I'm hooked

Hello OB crew!
New member here... name is Dave
Live in SE Pennsylvania
Own a Jeep Gladiator which is my fourth Jeep. Previously owned a '94 YJ, '00 TJ and '12 JK
Extreme novice to Overlanding... never been camping (besides a cabin), but have a strong desire to get out and get away from everyday life.
Some experience four wheeling as I build my rigs for the trails, not the malls. Paragon (now closed) and Rausch Creek are the Offroad Parks where I learned.
I'm more interested now in meeting new people and enjoying the outdoors. Looking forward to some day/weekend adventures and possibly join the TAT trip in June.

Welcome to the OB crew Dave, if you are looking to jump start your overlanding knowledge, head over to theBoot Camp section of the forums and read the articles there, ask plenty of questions, we have tons of seasoned overlanders that are willing to answer questions and offer advice.
