Hey everyone, how's it going. New member as of this morning. Located in North Texas but love trips to the sawtooth mountains in Idaho. Semi-new to overlanding. Currently in the process of getting my Supercharged 2004 Nissan Xterra 4x4 back on the road. Last years trip to Stanley Idaho killed the transfer case. Looking forward to learning from everyone here and possibly building our a smaller rig for shorter trips.
Welcome to OB, Lance. Nice to see another member in North Texas!
Nice, where about you located?
I’m in the Plano/Richardson/Wylie area

Just joined and also new to overlanding. I have a 2023 Bronco Sport Badlands. So far I have just been going to campsites, but hope to add in a few trails and off grid camping soon. I live near Allentown PA. I have figured out western PA had some good sites as well as New Jersey.

Hey all!

New member here! What a platform OB has become! Joined up recently after doing my first trek here in Nevada, Genoa Peak. Complete newcomer, first truck, looking to create great memories for myself and fam!

Rivian R1T located in the Bay Area, San Mateo.

I’ve met a few of you in passing, looking forward to meeting more! Goals are, safety, growing navigational skillsets, teamwork and to understand limits of various 4x4s while I develop an appreciation for my own. Looking forward to meeting folks!
