My name is Mike Miller and I've been following 4X on YouTube for about four years.  Initially, I was drawn to the overlanding (which I do a lot of) and then the new cabin continued to draw my attention and I loved watching every build episode. And of course, Chris' engagement to Heather was pretty cool too.  I look forward to meeting many of you at 4X adventure events in Angel Fire.  My current rig is a loaded '21 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited.

Cheers!

My name is Dan Cronin and my wife, Carrie and I reside up in the Pacific Northwest, Tacoma, WA to be exact. I have known Scott Leuthold for going on nine years and recently was invited to be part of the Team 4X community. It's been a real honor to have crossed paths with Scott years ago, as we share quite a bit of similar interests and conversely, we don't, but that's what makes learning about and from others so rewarding.

I am the Principal Founder of The Northwest Overland Society and the Head of USA Engineering for Vision X Motorsports. I was born in a little ole town in Southwest Texas, Beeville. At the time (1966) my dad was going through Naval flight training at Naval Air Station Chase Field. We eventually moved to the bay area of California, where I spent most of my childhood. My dad was big into the outdoors and exploring the Sierra Nevada and Coastal Mountains of California. That's where he influenced me to get outside and enjoy the goodness that our amazing planet has to offer. So, we did. A LOT!

My Dad eventually retired from the navy in 1978 and we moved to Iran (yes, Iran. And yes, right before the Iranian revolution). I was enamored with the people and country, however, politics had a different end game for us, so we eventually escaped on a U.S. Air Force C-141 out of Iran and into Germany. More about that later, but suffice to say, it was an amazing experience and wetted my appetite for global travel.

We relocated to an area South of Seattle where I finished up school and then enlisted in the Navy. Throughout the seven years of active duty, I experienced some really amazing countries and people. The Navy took me to Sicily, Italy, France, The Balearic Islands, Mykonos, Tunisia, Gibraltar, The UK, Norway, Bahrain, Oman, UAE and the Caribbean. I definitely got my fill of global experiences.

I eventually was discharged from the Navy after Operation Desert Storm and made my home back in the PNW. I started dabbling with Land Rovers, as my first Land Rover experience was in Iran and then again in Gibraltar. That's where the quest of continuous adventure travel was born into my world.

Fast forward to 2005, when I started the Northwest Overland Society. An online adventure travel community that brought together a myriad of people that love to "car camp" but only a little more ruggedized, I guess. What started out as 10 friends and family members in 2005, has erupted into a member base of nearly 3000 fellow adventure travelers. It has been a passion of mine and it brings me joy to share experiences with others and now, as a seasoned adventure travel leader, to educate others in the art of "Overlanding".

I am super stoked to get to meet all of you at some point in the near future and share experiences with you all, as well. Scott has built an amazing platform for all of us to share and enjoy and now with Scott and Heather as a team, I cannot wait to see what's in store in their future. Thanks for the warm welcome and we will see you out in God's country very soon!

Excited to find this community. Really like what I’m already seeing and reading.

I currently live in Southern Indiana with my wife Karen, and our three dogs. We are from Southern California but move around for work. 

Over the years I’ve been involved in various Jeep clubs and have had a 93 YJ that I drive almost 400,000 miles and a Jeep TJ. Loved them both but my focus then was more on rock crawling. 

We just recently sold our Ram truck and travel trailer (because the market is insane) and bought a 2022 Subaru Outback. Love it so far. 

I have a new Ironman4x4 suspension in the garage already waiting for a nice day to be out on. 

We are both excited to get more into Overland camping trips and building a capable vehicle for that. 

My wife Anna is a city girl having grown up in the DC area. Although she hasn't done much camping, she does like hiking and the great outdoors. She is a retired U.S. Capitol Police officer having served 28 years with them in a variety of specialties, so she's brave and adventurous! We've done some camping together and are ready to take it to the next level.

We're both tired of life (and the seemingly billions of people) in the DC area and will be relocating to the Prescott, AZ area in Fall 2022. We can't wait! After watching several of Scott's videos, we decided to order an Outback Wilderness and plan on outfitting it with a rooftop tent. Our dream/goal is to explore all the places in the U.S. we haven't visited and make great memories together. We're looking forward to meeting fellow wanderers and making lifetime friends.

Overall super excited to be a part of this wonderful network of enthusiasts and those that love the outdoors. Scott, you are living my dream and someday perhaps I too will get there.

Love the mountains, love the outdoors particularly hiking and fishing. Getting back into camping both via tent and hope to do my first car camp soon in my Outback.

Live in Atlanta area and travel some for work. Really looking forward to the first invite to Scott's compound he's creating in beautiful NM.  Perhaps he can invite all his founding members for a wedding reception??

Look forward to interacting with you all and learning from all of you.

Cheers!
