Hello everyone and thanks OB!

Located in western Wyoming.
2021 Ford F350 Crew Cab Long Box
Novice: Looking to build my truck into an overland rig over the next several months.

My wife and I really enjoy being in the mountains (US and especially Canada (impatiently waiting for Covid restrictions to lift)) and we are looking to make the truck into something that can support us off grid. Plans are in place to purchase a Bushveld RTT from OVS, the bed rack is ordered and en route. Will continue to add other items as time allows.

Looking forward to being a part of the OB community. Seems to be great, great people on here.


Thanks again,

Jeff

Hello community! My name is Jackson, I’m from SC. 2 years into actual overlanding. I’ve camped and adventured all my life. I downloaded this app about a year ago but I forgot all about it. I followed Venture4WD on YouTube and got some map files from him. Awesome guy if you want to check him out. Very thorough with his videos and map files. But I’m here now and I’m loving all the information I’m seeing. Everyone seems to be very friendly and that’s a refreshing thing when it comes to the interwebs.

I’m running a 2012 F150 FX4 Ecoboost with a custom DIY off-road camping trailer. I know most people would think that’s a bit excessive, especially being just me and my two dogs. But it works for us.

Looking forward to meeting and talking with all of you.

Welcome Jackson. Yes, Venture4wd is awesome. I joined OB in late '17 and soon after life got in the way but now that my son is getting older I realize just how much he loves being in nature and naturally this community is a wealth of information.

Hey folks. Initially thought I could do some good adventuring in a golf wagon tdi but FWD only goes so far. I’m tossing efficiency to the wolves and getting into a higher mile 2013 suburban. Let the games begin!

Greetings Everyone

We’re very excited to become members and explore the wealth of knowledge here, meet others with similar interests and explore and enjoy the “outback”!
We are very fortunate to live in an area rich in history and areas to be discovered…. Dayton Nevada.
Additionally I am very blessed to be employed by Carson City Parks and Rec - “Open Spaces”.
My job is to take care of all the outlying historic properties the city has acquired over the years to preserve the heritage of the area. There is over 8500 acres of old ranches, rail beds, canyons, old mining areas and more.
We moved here from Oregon last year - I’m an old logger and miss the woods - but this area and overland bound is sure opening new horizons for us!
