Hello, So I love the outdoors and would love to explore it more. I prefer places that are less traveled just because I enjoy them more. I don't know anyone that overlands just yet so I thought I would try this and hopefully gain a lot of experiances while meeting some like-minded people !!


1) Live in Irvine California
3) Toyota Tacoma off-road 2021
4) experience level ( i know how to drive and love road trips ) total beginner

Hello everyone! I'm new to the "Overlanding" world, but have been an adventurer my entire life. We always take the back roads and dirt roads when we can, and have some great stories of the adventures that have followed... A few highlights are our honeymoon 10 yrs ago when we accidentally ended up going over a washed out pass in CO, and last summer when we took our 4 kids around the US with a popup camper.

I'm currently building up a collection of properly equipped vintage Land Rovers and Landcruisers to provide a unique driving and camping experience for people. I've got a lot to learn from all you pros here, and look forward to being an active member of this community!

Hi my name is Jacob, I live just outside Millville NJ. I've been into off roading my whole life mostly older trucks or jeeps. I'm finally convincing my wife to do some overlanding now that we have a brand new jeep gladiator that will be comfortable for longer trips. were looking to start on the Trans NJ Trail and expand from there with goals of doing the Trans America Trail.

Hello Ladies and their protectors... i am the new guy - this is my 20 year old rustbucket:
View attachment 203854

It is a 2001 "3rd gen" mitzubishi pajero(montero) 3.4TDI - automatic, with forward, rear, and center locks a somewhat weak winch in the front, rear seats ripped out and turned into a bedroom.
It is also a complete VHF/HF mobile ham-radio command center. I am prepped for zombies, or little green men... whichever comes first :-)
As i live in the arctic, we have 4 real seasons, of which 3 benefit strongly from a proper 4x4 setup, my house is in the forest after all - no paved roads here.
(autumn= mud / winter = snow / spring =mud)

View attachment 203851
ok, wait... let me find a better picture:
View attachment 203852
Still not clear.. ok ok... hold on a sec....
View attachment 203853
There you go ;-)

I am happy to connect to anyone who cares, but especially 4x4 folks in scandinavia -because i would love to meet up, go on trail together or just exchange ideas.

Also i am owner of the "Big" ham-radio ticket, give me a shout if that tickles some fancy :-)

I hope i did not spam too many pixels into this post....

Good Evening everyone

Good morning!

My name is Bradford. I'm hoping to be traveling with the best boi named Duke. He's a 9 years young golden retriever.

We are located in Baltimore, MD. Hoping to get out of the city and check out some great places close at first. Eventually I would like to get out West, link up with my buddy in Texas and go further!

I replaced my 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon back in January. She's completely stock currently, but I'm looking to get started on gear here within the next few months.

I have no overlanding experience and limited camping experience despite having deployed several time with the military. Safe to say they were pretty easy deployment.

I look forward to being a part of this community!

Bradford

My name is Shawn. I am just getting started in overlanding. I have tent camped my whole life and I am excited to get into this.

My rig is still in the process of being built. I have big plans for it. As it sits now it is a 2004 Ford F-250 super duty. It has a 4” bds suspension lift and is sitting on 35’s. The 6.0l has been completely torn down and rebuilt to be extremely reliable. Replacement ranch hand bumpers front and rear. I have dual batteries and a 2000w power inverter. I put a color matched ARE camper shell on it. I hope to add racks, rtt, lights, and a bed drawer system. When completed I want this rig to be able to sleep 7 people. Me my wife and 5 kiddos.

I stumbled upon this group and I’m excited to be a part of it. I hope to learn a lot from y’all.

Sounds like your build is coming along nicely. You might be able to get some inspiration from this section of the forum; Full Sized Rigs
