Enthusiast I
Hello!
Novice Overlander here in Oregon (Eugene). Just getting into exploring more with the family and co-workers. Figured a solid starting point, aside from the vehicle is getting into a community that knows what's up.
I also really dig turning those unlikely or not-market supported vehicle into a formitible Overlander-ish 4x4.
Currently in a 2014 Dodge Durango Citadel (Modded) or the SOs 2018 VW Atlas (stock - in the process of figuring out a path with it). Before this I was in a 2008 Ford Sport Trac (Modded), and before that I was in a bone stock 1997 Dodge Dakota.
My experience started in about 2011 when I left IL -> OR for my career. I camped in the back of my Dakota the whole way. Then once I got to OR I spent every single weekend the first two years exploring for waterfalls around OR. Camped in the back of my pickup.
Soon after that I realized a 2WD Dakota just isn't doing it for me, so I got a Sport Trac. It was GREAT! ... then I had a daughter! My SO has a couple previous kids so I needed to UPGRADE. In comes my Durango. Then soon after my SO wanted something fun/functional so she got an Atlas.
Thus far we've tent camped, and pop-up trailer camped, looking into getting some vehicle tents, maybe even a trailer to pull. We don't have the most 'off-road' vehicles, but the mods I'm doing help.
