Hey everybody,

Thanks for the add and I am looking forward to going places and meeting people on here. I have never done overlanding but I grow up loving the outdoors, fishing, hunting, hiking, and camping. My family got me into it and the Boy Scouts grew my love of the outdoors further. Now that I am kind of grown up and in the Navy, I have been finding myself missing those trips and weekends spent camping in Wisconsin or in the boundary waters or on a mountain top in Philmont. I bought my 2005 Jeep LJ after a deployment and I am hooked. My plan for her was always camping and an expedition rig. I later learned of the term overlanding. I haven't done too much to her, being she is my DD and I am on a budget, but I have added a roof rack, upgraded my steering components to a ZJ set -up, a ford explorer fan and fan clutch, radio, bedtred liner in the rear, and a front bumper from trail gear. The jeep did come with a belly skid when I got her. Alos I have a rescued Beagle Basset mixed, he is 11 years old and loves everywhere he can with me. I hope to meet up and see some of ya on the trails. 28235156_10216121037924999_5595033720171723308_o.jpg
