Hello and welcome to the OB family.

 

[roots66]

Good morning! I am widowed and semi retired. I work PT at the REI in Pittsburgh. I have been off-roading for a couple of years now and after dealing with a few health issues I am using my car, Stormy, to travel and explore. My plans are to travel by myself or with a group and explore an area. I believe long distance hiking is part of my past so I plan on taking her to areas and camping and day hiking. I enjoy cycling and have done multi day trips and hoping to merge these hobbies.
Stormy is a 2019 Subaru Forester which I have been modding for the past couple of years. She is fully armored and enjoys getting muddy.

Hey there!
Europe must be nice. Are there a lot of off-roads and do you have area that are you favorites?

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

My rig is kinda stupid it is a lowered 2006 Ford focus zx3 five speed nothing special done to it. Slept in the back of it a few times, getting back into MTB since my new job I have a set schedule and able to explore on the weekends. Current goals are going to build a small trailer to pull behind it with gear. The ultimate goal is to get an outback wilderness.

I live in Schertz TX

Hello,

My name is Chris and I am from the Salt Lake County area of Utah. I recently purchased a 2023 Honda Ridgeline Sport and am working on outfitting it to be a softroader/overlander for myself and my family. The Ridgeline has been super nice so far and is the first new vehicle for me. I have had other trucks, a Subaru, and a Montero in the past that I did off-road day trips in, but this will be my first true "overlander". I am planning on a build thread and have many modifications that are taking place this week alone.

Happy 4th!

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Hey Chris,

My name is Danny and you are new to this as I am! I just joined a few days ago but I've been going out for about a years time since I got my rig. It was taken a lot of time building my 4runner to what fits for me. It takes patience and research to figure on what you want. If I can be of any help on what I have went with just reach out and ask. Of course prices will be another thing. It's getting more expensive and a longer wait time for parts.
I now going on my second year of my build because there is a lot of mods I still need and want. I have an Instagram if you want to look at my travels and history. Follow me @ trd22grnmachine
Also I'm planning to head towards your area. Maybe you can show me or plan to go find trails! Let me know and I’ll let you know when it's a plan.

Enjoy you 4th!
Thank Danny

Over built for overlanding, under built for a rock rig. Trying to find that elusive happy medium.

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Location: Southwest Germany and SoCal
Rig: 2019 Ram 1500
Experience: The ever-curious novice lol. I first got into overlanding in San Diego with my JK. I fell out of the lifestyle with work and being busy in general, but I always longed to get back out there. I am hoping to traverse some EU countries while I am here. So looking forward to meeting like-minded people and sharing the experience.

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Hey everyone!

My hubby and I are just getting into the overlanding fun after realizing life waits for nobody! My current vehicle is a stock 2019 4Runner Limited. We've done some trails back when we had the Jeep Wrangler, but that was years ago. Come spring we're getting a new Tacoma, and are thinking about building it up

Any advice or just conversation is appreciated. We just moved back to Wyoming from South Carolina so that's always fun.

Hello, I am introducing myself.

Greg Gerow
Bakersfield, CA
2019 Ford Expedition
Upgrading soon to something more rugged, but for now, this is all I have. I have been out on my own a lot in this rig and it is fairly capable. no bouldering. I would say about a trail rate for it is about a 4-5

Looking for a group to gain and share knowledge. Both kids in college and I need a hobby.

Thanks
Greg

Hello fellow adventurers,
My name is Shane, and i am currently stuck here in SoCal. I currently have a '17 GMC Sierra fitted with all the cool gear......
I've been camping and offroading for over 30 years, but only had an "Overland" rig for 2 years. I usually get out every other weekend, whether it be a day trip or a 3-4 expedition.

I'm always down for a new adventure, and hopefully get to see some of you on the trails!!!!
