Used to have a very nice outfitted 96 Land Rover Disco 1 when living in Tahoe. It was totalled so after a 5 year absence I picked up a 96 Jeep XJ that I'm just starting to build and hope to out on the trails by next Summer. Looking to do LT235/85-16, regear, rear locker, OME lift, ARB winch bumper and winch.IMG_20220822_213757.jpg

Hi Russ,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

The XJs are really nice rigs. Classic shape and you can do so much with them. Have fun with it!

Safe travels,
Bjoern

Build? These are Ron F-ing Swanson. They were BORN ready.

I like these a lot, but in the Northeast there are only rust buckets or heavily modified ones left.

Nice choice

Hello Russ , Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. @OTH Overland is your closest member representative.

To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).

Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.

Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.

Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.

Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.

Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.

Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.

Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.

Russ, Welcome to Overland Bound, I am your member rep, located on Camano Island just across from you. Nice looking XJ, they are great rigs, we are running a JKU and a WJ currently. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions as your are exploring the site, and keep an eye on the calandar / Rally Point tabs for upcoming trips and meetups, those are a great way to meet other members in the area.
