Good day everyone! I’m Rafael, but also go by Ralphy. I just received my emblem today, and got back last night from Big Bend, my first trip.
1) Picture: Added a pic of my rig.
2) Location: I’m a little north of Austin, TX but not scared to drive.
3) Rig: 2016 Ford F-350. Bought the camper shell used and haven’t gotten it painted yet, but I wanted to get out there and wasn’t worried about looking pretty.
4) Overlanding Experience Background: Novice/Amateur that feels like a pro after his first trip. (Light joke)

I’m excited to be here, and look forward to meeting some of y’all, either at events or out on the trails.

Hello Ralphy, welcome from Phoenix.

Justin here from Pittsburgh, PA

Recently sold my very well built Nissan Xterra that was more of a rock crawler / off-road toy.

I now have a 2018 Toyota Tundra I plan to overland and explore with. Always looking to meet new friends to get on the trails and share some campfire stories with. See yinz out there!

Hi all, my name is Chris. I live in Arlington, VA, but originally from Santa Cruz, CA. I’m building out an overland rig, the ‘19 Ram Rebel pictured. I’m new to overlanding, I guess, but have been an avid backpacker and camper my whole life. This community seems pretty awesome, so I’m hoping to engage with folks and possibly meet some overlanders in my neck of the woods.

Hello overlanders! I'm McKade Huntsman, currently in San Antonio, TX for my last assignment in the Navy before I get out and move back to Utah this summer. I'm excited to get back to all my favorite spots from my teenage years in Utah, and would love to make some friends and get some advice for trips up there. I look forward to talking with you all.
Current ride: 2017 Tacoma sport (with a lift and some wheels/tires and a roof rack and whatnot)

Welcome to the OB crew, to get started on your overlanding journey, head over to the Boot Camp threads here in the forums, there is a lot of useful information on almost every aspect of overlanding, be sure to ask questions, our experienced overlanders here are happy to answer questions and offer you advice. You look like you have done several nice rigs, but if you want some inspiration for your Tundra build, check out the vehicle build threads, there you can find lots of ideas to incorporate into your new rig.

Keep us posted on the status of your H3 build, they are not a very common choice for an overlanding rig, although if I had one I would build it out to travel.

I appreciate that. True the H3 is uncommon which is why I've chosen it for my next build. I've always used jeeps for my trail rigs, now its time to break away from the everyday norm and see how the hummers do. Lol. Thanks again.
