[Kent R]

Hello All! New member and super excited.
My name is Raj or RJ whatever is easiest. In my profile bio is my overlanding journey start. Super novice but am eager to learn, grow and get outdoors to have fun. I am fly fishing enthusiast which is what is the motivation for my overlanding start.
I decided to go with what I got right now which is a 2004 Ram 1500. I overhauled it a bit and will be upgrading a whole bunch more soon. Can't wait to get to know more folks! Attached is where I started with the vehicle and where it is today.

Thanks!

Hubby and I recently moved to the *Colorado* flatiron foothills after 23 years of wanting to live here! Youngest child will finish college in a year. We bought a hard shell rooftop tent and put it on our *2017 Subaru Outback* last May. *Very little* overlanding experience and our little Subie isn’t very tricked out but we yearn for the open road leading us to forest and water to relish in nature and just “be”. Hiking, hammock-time, writing...

Currently interested in any Outback cargo info / builds... I’d hire someone to help us out. Looking to have a couple of drawers the width of the cargo area which will raise the cargo “floor” height and then have the solar powered cooler on one side... Also looking for recommendations about how to find BLM land.

Thanks for being a community and welcoming newbies!

Glad to be on the Forum. Retired mechanical engineer. Using my 2017 Forester as a soft roader, mostly forest roads and fire trails in the Southeast. Have plenty of time now to learn what I need to know to get out into the forest or desert or wherever I can safely go with my mild rig. Baby steps first. Thanks for adding me!

Been a member for a little bit and forgot to start off my introduction lol...
I’m Located in Colton CA I am the proud owner of the first TrailRecon Edition 2019 JLU Rubicon overland ready out of the box adventure vehicle and I’m loving it!! Had a JKU some years ago when I was enlisted in the USMC, that feeling of driving jeep never left me so I had to get another one i’d say my experience is moderate to high but I can’t wait to connect with some fellow minded people, also I’m about to finally participate in my first OB meet up this weekend with the Inland Empire group can’t wait to meet y’all on the trail!

Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.

My name is Tyler.

1) Birmingham, AL
2) 100 series Land Cruiser. Recently bought it from my dad who bought it new in 2003.
3) I am new to off roading and I look forward to building up my land cruiser. I am a pretty avid cyclist (mtn & road), so I look forward to building a good camping vehicle that I can drive around the southeast to camp and cycle.

Glad to be apart of OB as it will be a good resource for me to learn from experienced overlanders.

Its good to see someone else from Birmingham.

Hello All!
John Fortney from NE Missouri. I am a superintendent and have been exploring out of our Ford Explorer, but will be transitioning to a Suboverland Rig, 1994 GMC Suburban. We pick it up in Idaho at the end of May! I can't wait to post pictures of my new ride!

Hey y'all--I'm Bryan; I actually made an account a few years ago and forgot about it. Finally registered to become an OB member and wanted to become a bit more active to see what might be going on in my area and see what I can learn from others on the board. Located in DFW, TX; more to the northeast of Dallas near Richardson. Started to get back into camping and specifically vehicle based exploration about 5 years ago when I bought a 4th gen 4Runner; it really ignited a passion I didn't know I had. My wife and I are trying to make it a goal to visit every national park and see the beauty and diversity of this country (though I know a lot of them we won't be wanting to drive to). The 4Runner that started it all just got sold last week to make room for a new build on my 200 series Land Cruiser which we picked up at the beginning of the month. Look forward to being here!

So it started out with the jeep to get to the cabin in the Mendocino National Forest. Sold that and got the Colorado, Lost the Cabin in the 2020 Fires. Now I’m looking to get out and find more adventures out in nature. May find some Fly Fishing in there too. (Plan to rebuild cabin at some point.
