Hello from Portland!

[StayAtHomeChris]

Hey everyone,

Name’s Chris… got started overlanding back in 2017 when I bought a brand new 2018 4Runner TRD Off-Road. First mod was a new set of BFG KO2s, then it went all downhill from there. The overall goal is simple, clean and nimble. I also use my rig to get me to hard to reach places to do my other outdoor hobby of fly fishing. Excited to be here as I have just started going on random forest road adventures and still have plenty to learn.

Hello @StayAtHomeChris Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. @jcgraves3 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.

Mike Rose
Northwest Director

Welcome to Overland Bound Chris.. Nice looking rig. It always starts out with a nice shiny new set of KO2's, then lots of dollars later you end up in a circle of chairs somewhere saying my name is ________ and I have an overlanding problem... but I am much better now....

Hey Chris, welcome to OB!! I’m across the river in Vancouver if you ever head up towards the GP or Skamania etc. I try to get out on the weekends as much as I can, so let me know if you ever want to tag team some trails!
