Hi everyone, my name is Daniel, I am located in the Sacramento area and a newbie to overlanding. I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler and just starting my overland setup.I have a trip planned to Zion,Bryce,Lake Powell, and the Grand Canyon. I would appreciate any suggestions on places to overland camp in those areas. thanks

I'm from western Canada, but I'm currently in Ontario for the next year. So if you have any trip suggestions for southern Ontario let me know.

For a more verbose intro you can read my poorly written truck intro

Wiggilez's 2004 Tundra

I've named this thread after my current truck but I'm going to try and start from the beginning with some of my previous vehicles. (note: though I will try my best of of the pictures of my old stuff may not be in proper chronological order) So my first taste of camping and adventuring started...

Hi All,

I'm Nav. I'm new to OB and overlanding in general. I don't have vehicle yet (in search of LX460's). I'm on Auto-Trader and Car Gurus daily.

Location: NY, NY (I know, not the most ideal location)
Rig: In search of my partner
Experience: Non-Existant; I do however go downhill mountain biking in New Hampshire from time to time and trail biking out in Long Island. I do love to be outside. I'm hoping that Overlanding can provide more time with nature and being outside in-general.

Pictures!!!! lol


My name is Brent, and I am loosely located in Maine. I also travel a lot between California, where I was born and raised ( I hate that place a lot lol) Idaho, Utah, Texas, and Maine. I have a 2004 Land Rover Discovery 2, pretty lightly modified. 3" lift and 33s. Removed the rear seats, built some super ghetto drawers, tossed the fridge in, and ran away from California haha. I have been overlanding and doing off road stuff now for about 2 years, so I think I am pretty novice. But I have been out nearly every weekend since I got hooked, and did travel the entire country in my Rover lol. So I wouldn't say I am without experience. I am really looking forward to meeting some new folks here, and going on adventures!!

Hello Everyone. I'm Mike and I just stumbled into overlanding about a year ago when Covid hit. It started as entertainment, checking out YouTube videos, and the idea of overlanding sounded interesting the more I learned about it. I'm not sure my wife agrees, but time will tell.

Location: Sussex County, New Jersey
Rig: 2016 Jeep Wrangler JKU (pretty much stock)
Overlanding Experience: Novice

Hello fellow overlanders,

My name is Matthew Flores, I live in Pasadena California, and drive a 2010 Toyota Fj Cruiser. I run 33in wild peaks on 17in MT, with icons 2.5 in the front and 2.0 in the rear. A little about myself, I work for the Forest Service out in Wyoming during the spring, through Fall, love the outdoors, and love driving to new places in the middle of nowhere. Experience-wise, I still like to think of myself as we traveled, but no expert since I'm always learning new things. I've been on Overland Bound Forums for a few years but have never posted so I figured it was time to jump on and introduce myself to the group and see where it leads. anyways thanks for reading this far and happy/safe travels.

Hola overlanders! Looking to make some treks out of our home base in Portland, OR. I've got a 98 4Runner with a Smittybilt on top. Bit of a novice to overlanding. Lots of backwoods camping, but looking forward to sleeping off the ground.

Hello all,

My name is Frans and I live in The Netherlands. Although Europe is probably not the best part of the world for driving on unpaved tracks, there are still places where this is allowed. In order to thus enjoy avoiding the crowds I bought myself a 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 (2.7 litre petrol) in September 2019. That same month I took it to Spain for 2 weeks, hitting the back roads as much as I could.

That made me want to do more of this kind of travelling I am now looking to improve the vehicle bit by bit, and maybe get myself a roof tent. I hope to learn from your experience, and perhaps read about some interesting destinations in Europe.


Regards,
Frans

Hello,
I’m brand new to overlanding but have been camping for around 30 years.
vehicle is a 2005 Jeep Liberty but looking to upgrade.
Currently in Tampa Bay Florida

My name is Charles, I live in Santee, CA(San Diego area) and explore in my 99 Jeep Cherokee since 2010.

I started out mostly day tripping in Anza Borrego and beyond, but I have learned that I am not a rock crawler and that I prefer to spend more than a few hours in the wild. Though my Jeep is equipped to handle most anything that 33" tires can handle, I rarely choose trails that are technical slogs. Overtime I have been taking more and more multi day trips and honing my gear for overland travel.

My Jeep is my backpack, I try to keep my gear light and compact. This works fine except when I travel with both my Wife and Son(11), then space gets tight.

Some of the overlanding trips I have taken in my Jeep: Picacho Peak(CA), KOFA Wildlife Refuge, Mohave Preserve, Anza Borrego, Monache Meadows
Some of the roadtrips(motels, airbnb , or basecamp): Zion/Bryce/North Rim(Toroweep), Silverton/Telluride, Death Valley

I have led Meetup groups on trips, and I lead my Father and a Friend of mine on trips. I look forward to meeting some like minded individuals in my community and exploring some new places.

Hi Paul!

Whereabouts are you?

We are in Surrey. As the pandemic eases we are starting to plan trips. We were actually away this weekend ourselves!

There are a couple of “rally points” already in the diary plus a couple more just awaiting legislation changes.

Hope to meet soon!

Hi there, I'm in the midlands & I would love to meet up soon & go on a trip.

Hi All, I live in Orange County CA. I just bought a new 2021 4Runner. And I am a complete and total newbie to overlanding. Ive been out a few times with a friend, and absolutely loved it.

I’m hoping to meet new like minded friends and get suggestions and recommendations to make my 4Runner more capable.
