[HillcountryJeep78]

New member here from the Texas Hill Country. I'm really looking forward to getting more into overlanding and learning as much as I can. I have a 17 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport that I am slowly building to be mild rockcrawler and overlanding rig. I want to explore the offroad trails in other states and hope to make it to Alaska some day.

Hi overlanders,

My name is Rick and i'm a Dutch fellow that ended up in Norway a few years ago and never went back.

I've been working on Land Rovers and overlanding for over 15 years, both as work and hobby.
However, when I moved to Scandinavia I decided to join the local tradition and buy a Volvo hehe.

Although, it's not your average Volvo family estate, it's a 1968 ex Norwegian army Volvo L3314N (Valp).
It has had pretty much a full rebuild to run 38x15,5 Arctic Trucks tires and has been converted to a little camper.
On Instagram @Henrythemancavecamper you will find some more info and photos of the little Volvo.

I've ordered my OB membership package and I'm looking forward to receive this and get in contact with more like-minded people.

Hey gang. Kind of new to “overlanding” but I have spent most of my life enjoying the outdoors. Mostly on mountain bikes, hiking and backpacking. I live in the Richmond, VA area and am looking forward to Overland East in a few months. I am driving a 2017 JKU that is a work in progress but I’m having fun putting it to use.

Hey everyone. My name is Robb from Upstate New York. I have a 2000 Cherokee that I'd like to start transforming into a capable overland vehicle.

Hi There, Think I missed this step. I had actually first saw the site in April but just recently got my membership and Became active. We live in the Fort Worth area and are looking for many different types of overland excursions. I drive a well equipped Ford F250 6.4L, RTT, Front and Rear Lockers, Comms and currently studying for my technician License. Lori drives a 1998 wrangler sport (TJ) and look to tow or tandem drive to some destinations. just got back From an OB event in the Texas Hill Country and ColoSprgs before that tackling some slightly more Technical trials. Offroading since the late 70's in the Mojave Desert, and now back into after a 20 year Hiatus and my Retirement. Up coming short lost: PINS, RimRocker, Mojave Road and the Ozarks. Hit us up if interested in heading anywhere on or off that list. Thanks, Darren.

Good afternoon from Cincinnati, OH,

Lou here. Being a man that enjoys camping and adventure motorcycling I have enjoyed watching Overland Bound adventures on YouTube. These videos have encouraged me to build a vehicle so that I can have adventures with my family. My vehicle is a 2005 Land Rover LR3. My hope is to build many memories with my family and friends.

Hi everyone, My name is Chris Reader and I am the owner of Veteran Welding. I was in the Canadian military for ten years and did two tours overseas. Upon starting my company I have had quite a few people approach me to build them a wide range of different parts. Everything from slide outs for the back of there Tacomas to Overlanding trailers, to different brackets, mounts, etc. So, from all this, I have decided to pull from my military carrier, the experiences I have had thus far building different projects and build my own rig.

I am building a 2011 F150 XLT. The reason I have chosen to build this rig is that 1, I already have it 2, it has never let me down and 3, I can fit my whole family in it comfortably. As of right now, we are building a roof/bed rack for this with built-in storage for some action packers as well as fuel and water storage. I will start a thread on that build to showcase how we are doing it etc.


Cheers
Chris Reader

Ahoy!

Name is Thorkell. I'm happy that I was able to find you guys and I'm looking forward to gaining insight on my first Overland build!

Location: Los Angeles, CA
Rig: 08 Honda Pilot (hilarious I know, But she puts in work. )
Experience: I grew up a desert rat in NM running through the Mesas. I've been on plenty of camping trips and I have knack for planning and I love troubleshooting.
I did a lot of Camping NM and a lot despersed camping with my pops in his 92' F-250 (She was a beaut).

I'm planning on creating a plan and building a new Overland rig for our trips out here in Cali. So much beautiful land around here that's just waiting to be explored!

I'm looking forward to all the knowledge that will be gained here!

Hey everyone! Chad here and I'm a newbie. I have been watching OB videos on YouTube for a good 5 years now and I finally bucked under and joined. A little about me and mine now... I am a former marine and former LEO and a small knife maker in WA state. My wife of 18+ years is an ICU nurse. My son is 15 and my daughter 13, going on 20! I have a 2017 Nissan Titan that I am slowly making changes and upgrades to. I decided to take the plunge after spending the weekend out at the Northwest Overland rally in Plain, WA. Please have patience with me as I learn how to do this forum stuff.

Good morning Overland Bound,

I've been following Michael and the movement for quite some time now and finally became a member today!

My wife and I live just outside Chicago, and are seasoned travelers by air but novice overlanders. We've tent camped in the area and traveled down to Windrock in Tennessee to experience some serious off-roading with the AEV crew. The plan is to get a small trailer, like Kevin, Sarah, and Caroline with Lifestyle Overland, and travel all over the U.S., just not full time. In the interim, we are planning a trip to MOAB in the spring of next year.

Our rig is a 2016 Jeep JKU with a JK350 conversion from AEV and it has proven to be more than capable of getting us around in the back country. I've attached a few pictures of the Jeep in it's natural habitat for your viewing pleasure.

Bryan
