Hi Folks!

My name is Chris. Currently living in exile south of the border. My overlanding experience is basically driving as far as I can up a dirt road and then setting up camp to backpack, hunt, or fish. Currently driving a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 which unfortunately spends most of its time on pavement these days. If anyone knows of any overlanding groups here in Mexico I'd love to hear about them! The only off-roaders I've found so far have been rock crawlers which isn't my thing.

Hi Chris! Welcome to OB!

Good morning guys. I’m Ryan I’m currently in the Matthew’s, NC area originally from WV (prime off-roading haven) I drive a 13 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have a little done to this rig but I’m building it back up I haven’t been in the mtn’s in a couple years due to having a baby, moving etc.

I previously had a fully decked out 99 f150 on 37s locked front and rear mild built 4.7 6in lift, winch, bed sleeper etc.. now I’m starting from the ground up with my Jeep and taking things a lot more slower and thought out this time.

If you are in the Matthew’s, NC area hit me up I’m trying to meet some folks around here and plan a trip soon.

Nice meeting yall!

Hi Ryan, welcome to OB! I’m in the Raleigh area but plan to explore WNC as much as possible. I have a two year old and it’s a little harder to sneak away to the mountains these days!

Yeah I have a 5 year old that’s never been out in the wild yet. I’m excited to get him going on his first mountain trip. We have a couple trails in mind in the Western side as well as some at Uwharie soon.

[Kent R]

A very belated introduction. My name is Tat Ko and this is my 75th year alive and will be starting my 76th year after Christmas.

I was able to see a lot of places around the globe during my time as a Service member. Now I am going to work on seeing what beauty this country awaits my exploration.

Bought a 1996 Toyota T100 6 years ago and was working to outfit it for travel but health concern set me back. Now that the miracle of modern medicine and the magic hands of a heart surgeon the diseased parts were excised and now I can continue my journey.

Still have a lot of prep work, my 1st favorite hobby is to work with my hands in building my vehicle for the next journey. Lucy, the red extended cab 1996 Toyota T100 just had 18" of truck bed chopped off and renamed Luci, short for Lucifer TV show. I also added a more conservative dark green 1996 T100 with manual transmission for longer trips. Green, also an extended cab pickup, has camper shell and can be taken out for short trip. My goal is to outfit both with heavier axles and strengthened frame for the lot less traveled roads.

I am not an in-crowd person but have lots of pictures on my projects to post in the near future. Recently also joined Face Book Bay Area Overland Group and likely be more active in 2025.

Hi All, my name's Dan, 69 yrs old, and I'm living in Claremont, CA. I've been camping for decades, mostly in state park and forest service campgrounds, and over the last 9 years mostly doing dispersed desert or mountain camping on forest service or BLM roads I can access with my prior Highlander and then Honda Ridgeline pulling an off road capable teardrop trailer. I've just acquired a 2024 4x4 Tacoma to get farther out on more challenging roads with my wife and dog and friends with similar interests. Looking to learn and connect with people in this group.

Hello I'm kyle and am fairly new to this. I used to something similar when I was younger but never had any equipment really. Now I have a big family and would love to try to do this to try to create memories with my kids.
I have a 2000 tacoma ext cab with a small lift kit. Also have a 2004 suburban that's not in the best of shape but it fits everyone lol.
I'm from southern indiana and would love to find some spots close that we could get our feet wet with.
