Hello Everyone,

My name is Patrik, based in Hollister Ca,

Lurked here for a while, been involved in Overlanding for many decades. Started as a Crawler in the early 90’s, but played in the dirt my whole life. I have built rigs from the ground up, for myself and for others, and always have unfinished projects and no free time.

Currently “overland” my ‘20 Gladiator, “wheel” my ’93 FJ80, and “Adventure” my ’21 Africa Twin. In my many years of dirt, I have walked away from several “groups” for many of the same reasons that OB was founded, so I identify deeply with the core principles. Recently took a position where I travel up and down the west coast for work, so more reason to explore, but more time stuck in hotel rooms with nothing to do but more work. So “lurk mode” off.
Hello and Welcome to the OB family!

Hello everyone, glad to finally be a member. I put off buying a membership as I never had the right vehicle! However I found a good one, 2006 Toyota 4Runner V8. Anyone who knows about the 4th gens know these are decent rigs. I’m from Kansas City, Mo and I’m currently a lineman apprentice!

Hello there. I’m new.

My name is Rush and the wife is Laura. We run both a 2013 Jeep JK and a 2019 Toyota Tundra. We have been overlanding for about two years. We also have a fairly new off road trailer and soon we will mount our RTT and other gear.

We are located in the Bay Area. We’ve done two longish trips to both the Colorado western slope and southwestern Utah.

Thanks!

Ok, Ok........you got me with the free coffee at the Overland Expo this coming Saturday!

Brian and Nancy here, on the western slope of Colorado. 2014 Jeep JKUR (evolving.....aren't they all?) and a teardrop. Coming off Adventure motorcycles for a long time to something that we both can do together more.....oh, and the dogs wanted to join. We've been all over, and camped a lot, tent, rv, popup trailer, etc......simplifying things and making them a bit more civilized with the teardrop. Looking forward to meeting folks!! Thanks for having us!IMG_0597 (2).JPG
