My wife and I are all over Oregon with the Jeep be it camping, hiking, crabbing or just out on an adventure, so I thought what the hell lets set the Jeep up to better enjoy our time outdoors. I am new to overloading and so is my Jeep.

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. Be sure to check out the vehicle build threads, there you can find lots of ideas to incorporate into your own build.

Welcome to the OB crew, if you want any refreshers on any aspect of your overlanding journey, head over to the Boot Camp threads here in the forums, there is a lot of useful information on every catagory of overlanding, be sure to ask questions if you have any , our experienced overlanders here are happy to answer questions and offer you advice. I am glad you found us too, a group of us were chatting yesterday and that very topic was touched on, there are many forums out there with egotistical members and moderators who love to throw shade or worse. Here you will find none of that only members who are willing to help any and all who need it. So welcome!

A robust off road history of Motocrosss racing in my youth and later in life Off Road racing became a hobby and passion landing me frequently in the US and Mexico (Baja 100, 500 and V2R to name a few ). My off road experiences have given me a solid understanding of various terrains in the wilderness. Following my adventurous path when I got to my retirement I discovered overlanding. My Overnlanding journey began with a trip on the TAT in 2019. My custom built Jeep JK was tight on space but very worthy of any terrain we ran across as well as capable for weeks off grid. My JK build was assisted by ExtremTerrain, Thanks ET! I am now looking into an off road trailer for my less harsh trips ( not to mention my wife will join me as long as a hot shower is available ). Oh and I don't do a single trip without my best friend, Forrest the Golden Retriever. Hope to see you on the road less traveled.IMG_8900.jpeg
