Hi,

I am Alex, currently in my search for the right rig for me. Last year together with my girlfriend I bought our HZJ75 "Ben" in Arusha, Tanzania and it has been a bumpy ride eversince. Buying a car in Africa is not an easy thing to do and fixing it there even less so. Therefore I am currently selling our car which is Located in Iringa, Tanzania for the same price we bought it (although we invested around 5000€ in repairing it.

Furthermore I am looking for a new rig and I found one for sale with is a HZJ79 but with Three! axles. Now I am thinking if this is a good idea, therefore I made this post:

Cheers

Hello everyone! Wanted to post something to say hi and give a quick intro. I'm here to connect with other overlanding and adventure travel enthusiasts.
Looking to purchase a Gen 3 Mitsubishi Montero to build an overlanding rig. Anyone here using the Montero/Pajero platform? What are your thoughts looking back at your build?

Hi all. Am a very new beginner member who got interested in Overlanding after watching Mountain State Overland and Expedition Overland on YouTube.

Location: North New Jersey, so miles from any real Overlanding territory.
Rig: Chevy Equinox 2008 AWD, pretty good for road trips.
Experience: watching YouTube :)

Hello friends, I'm Larry and from Texas.
I drive a 2006 Ram 2500 and looking to get into some car camping... errrr overlanding... now that the kids are a bit older. I come from an ADV and touring motorcycle background so the 4wd thing is all kind of new to me.

Welcome Larry. If you find yourself exploring southern Arizona there are lots of camping opportunities.

Hey everyone. New guy from LI, NY. My name is Tom. I drive a 2021 Toyota Tacoma. It has a few things done to it and is my camping/beach wheeling/trail bombing adventure suit. I am usually in the woods with my wife and dogs (Huskies) trying to figure out where we should camp. We love adventuring and look forward to checking the forums out!

Great looking rig! Go Tacos! Welcome and hopefully you can use the app to find some great spots to get off the road in your area.

Welcome Tom! I think Long Beach Island in NJ allows Oceanside driving at certain times of the year. Not sure about camping though. So many great options outside the NY metro area!

Howdy.
I'm Keith. I'm from the DFW, TX (N Texas) area.
I'm looking to get started in Overlanding. I have zero experience and gear.
My rig is a stock Gladiator Rubicon.
You’re going to have a great time, Keith!

And you found a great community here.
