Greetings from Ventura, CA. I’m Omar and I‘m new to this website and to the overlanding community. I just got my ‘22 4-Runner Off Road Pro last Sept while living in the Washington DC area. I drove across the country for a new job in Feb23. Now that I’m in CA, I really want to get into overlanding; I’m definitely a novice (unless watching YouTube videos count). Then again, if it weren’t for watching a video by Lifestyle Overland, I might not have found this site and community, so I’m grateful for his vid and channel for helping me get one step closer to making my overlanding goals a reality! I‘ve still got work to do on my setup, but this is a pic of my rig (The Gaucho) in Newport, RI back in Dec ‘22.

Good morning! My name is Taylor and I’m currently living in the PNW. I’m 29 years old and work in the petroleum industry. I’m an avid camper who’s currently waiting on a 2023 Colorado trail boss to start getting into more remote areas to camp. I hope to learn a lot about navigation, gear, and want to meet people up here to plan trips with!

Hello. I’m super excited to be a part of this community.
I‘m a newbie to off-roading with Death Valley and Hollister Hills in California with Cal4West under my belt. And soon Moab.
I have a 2022 Jeep Rubicon with a factory lift, winch and off-road tires. Also, I have a small off-road camper with a tent on top which I used for the first time at Hollister Hills. I love to camp and look forward to adventures with others to places such as Anza Borrego, Baja and all over.
