Hey guys,
I have been present here in the forum for about a month, but haven't introduced myself.

I am from middle TN area. I have a 2007 Toyota 4runned Limited V8. It has slight modifications, leveling lift kit, slightly larger A/T tires. Simple, but capable. Future mods may be a roof rack and rock sliders.

I have camped regularly since I was a child. Most of our travels have stayed close to the beaten paths at campgrounds a state parks, but we have a had a few dispersed camping trips. Either way we are out enjoying the nature around us. If there is an unpaved or gravel road, I will be seeing where it goes, if it is public access, of course.

Thanks for the opportunity to join and welcome to all the other new members.

Adventure is necessary. Let's go!

Why Overlanding?: I’ve been in scouting all of my childhood and am an Eagle Scout with over 100 nights camping. With a passion for anything with 4 wheels and an engine I discovered overlanding and it combines my passion for the outdoors and passion for automobiles. Not knowing anyone that goes off-roading or overlanding currently I’m looking for knowledge about overlanding and places to go overlanding while meeting new people.

Hello My name is David, I live in Riverbank CA. I recently registered on this forum.
I have experience in camping, backpacking and off-roading.
I hope to meet new friends that enjoy fly fishing and exploring the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range along HWY 395. I also enjoy the western slope of the Sierra Nevada as it's a relatively short drive for me.
I'm currently driving an Isuzu Trooper, it works well off-road and has plenty of room for my gear. It has a mild lift and slightly oversized tires.
I recently got my ham license and look forward to meeting you on the net.
Hi David
Glad you said hello and welcome. I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Turlock CA there is a meet up on the first Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active.
This is the regular meet up info. @Motomikeca and @beck4u are a great resource to be in touch with!

Hey y’all! My name is Alli and my husband, Justin, and I are just starting out with all this! We have two kids and we want to use this as a getaway to find time for ourselves again.

We are in south MS and Justin’s vehicle that was given to us from his dad is I believe a 1999 4Runner. We can’t wait to start this adventure together and maybe meet some great people along the way.

This is the only pic we have on the 4Runner right now.

Hey there,

Mike and Jayne here, we live in Joshua Tree Ca.
My rig is a 2021 Rubicon JLU with an Ursa Minor Top, Clayton overland suspension and lots of goodies added.
I have been off roading since I could drive, my first car was a 1966 CJ5 with a 289 V8 I put in from a Mustang. I was part of King County 4x4 Search and rescue up in Seattle and now getting back into off-roading and Overlanding here in the high Desert
