Hi all. Jeff Patterson from Orange County, NY.

I have a Jeep and like to go places and sleep in the back of it, prepare a meal in the middle of nowhere while sitting on a folding chair, and taking trips without too much of a real destination in mind.

Have fun and be well!

Welcome!

Hi everybody! My name is Tigg. Hailing from the PNW, I'm completely new to the Overland thing! My wife and I are avid campers and are looking forward to new adventures. Hoping to meet other like-minded people in our area and enjoying the sense of community that Overlanding will bring.

Just got my new rig a couple months ago and decided that rock crawling was a little too "extreme" for us. lol!!

Rig: 2007 Jeep JKU Sahara

Hello everyone. Joined a few weeks ago but just found this thread......thought I would post up.

1) Sacramento, CA
2) 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 TRD OR Long Bed
3) Novice overlander here. Looking to learn....and slowly outfit my truck to make my off road outings even more fun, safe and enjoyable whether it be exploring for the day or staying out overnight. Hoping to make some new overlanding friends along the way. Lots of information here so I have a lot of reading to do.

Above are a couple pics from my first two off road exploring outings with my new truck. Having a blast with it so far!! Have a great day everyone.

Welcome to the group! If you have a chance, stop by one of our Weekly Sacramento Meet-ups! https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/sacramento-weekly-meet-up.3332/

Hello from Eastern Canada

I just recently became a member, so I thought I would introduce myself.

My name is Mike and I'm located in Ottawa, Ontario. I currently daily drive a 2004 Grand Cherokee with a few little modifications (3" lift, rear locker and some all terrains).

Build Thread: http://ovo.ca/forums/showthread.php?7416-The-BuBBaDuB-Build

I've been part of an offroad group here in Ottawa for several years and very interested in the Overland aspect of offroading.

Welcome Mike! Always good to get another Grand Cherokee into the fold :-)

 

[Kelly]

Location: Laveen, AZ
Vehicle: 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited
Overland experience: well I've been camping and wheeling but wouldn't call it overlanding.

Welcome to the group! I've been thinking about the same color for mine.

 

[Kelly]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum but I've been wheeling for a while. I grew up in the Phoenix area and did a lot of desert trips but I'm in northern California (Sacramento) now and spend as much time as possible in the Sierras. I own a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD Special Edition. Glad to be here!

Hello everyone, my name is Scott Vaughn and I am member #2646 from El Dorado Hills,Ca. I finally got my first Jeep, I got a 2017 sport unlimited and couldn't be happier.

My name flyjeep is because I am an avid fly fisherman. Totally addicted to fly fishing, so I got the Jeep so I could do more back country. I can now drive in and not have to hike in all the way. I'll be able to go deeper and further into the backwoods. I love hiking back country and this Jeep will help me not have to start so far out.

My plans are a Gobi rack, some rock slider rails, eventually a 2-1/2" lift and a spare set of 33" wheels. My Jeep is my daily driver so I don't want to run on 33's all the time. Also gonna add a tow bar so I can bring it when I take my RV.

I've been around off road and sand all my life. I learned how to drive in Glamis in my brothers sandrail he built. Now we spend all our camping time either at a lake or on the river.

I look forward to meeting other off roaders. I hope to hit the Rubicon some day since it is about 40 minutes from me.

Scott,
You've got to show everyone your wreath with the lights, and tell us where to get them.

My ride right now. Will be adding a Subaru Outback with a 2" lift in the near future for some longer travels. Planning an adventure form here in SoCal to Alaska taking the Marine Highway back from Skagway back to Prince Rupert. Hope to get as far north as Dawson and over to Glacier Bay. Glad to be part of the group, can not wait to read some of your adventures and post some of mine. Everyone have a great holiday and Merry Christmas.

[Rolf C-P]

Hi folks, I am Rolf
Location East Anglia/ UK.
Rig: Currently 2012 Jeep Rubicon towing my trailer "The Escape Pod"
Experience: Born and bred in the wilds of Papua New Guinea where Overland was a way of life through the first 20 years of my life. Since then I have mostly been off roading locally to were I live. However the past 2 years, as my 2 sons have got older (6 & 8 now) I have started to stretch my horizons and have been travelling all over the UK enjoying the out doors. Following a particularly cold camp in Yorkshire earlier this year I decided that a trailer would be a better way to go than tents. The basic Escape Pod rolled out of my garage a month later, since then we have created some great memories with friends new and old.

Very new to overlanding from the standpoint of having a rig, but a longtime dreamer.

I made my first trip last September, taking a guided trip with Jake Quinones of New Mexico Backroads. That went so well I'm planning to take a second trip with NMBR in June.

Hello! my name is Brandon. I'm from Kutztown Pennsylvania. OB2838 I drive a 2005 subaru outback and 94 Jeep Cherokee.
I'm a subaru mechanic and fabricator. I hate having to but full price lift kits and bumpers so learn how to build them myself. I'm not super experienced but have definitely spent a lot of time off reading and camping. I'm an avid hunter. I love spending time outdoors and learning more everytime I go. I look forward to meeting many of you and traveling more!
