Hey all! New to this board. I think I may have visited here before but more recently because of Foz Roamer & his super-neat Subie. I am on ExPo and several other boards with the same name.

My overlander is a 2004 Toyota Tacoma Doublecab with a few mods. I have a Mombasa RTT mounted on a custom-built bedrack along with a BajaRack on the cab (claim to fame! first one mounted on a Taco doublecab, I've had it a while!).

I am lucky that my wife and 6 yo son also love to go camping/overlanding/travelling. I have been involved in and out with 4WDs for @ 30 years. Most of our trips have been to MI, WI and MN. I am hoping to expand a little more south next year. I took up photography back in 2011 starting with a Canon T2i. have since moved up to a 70D. I even somehow managed to have a couple articles published in a couple mags over the last couple years.

Due to medical issues, I may be switching back over to a Subaru for my adventures in the future (I had an '02 WRX when they first came out). Have to see how things go.

Hello everyone! Happy to be here and very excited to become a member of the Overlandbound community!
I just purchased my membership badges and can't wait for them to arrive!

Location - Eureka, CA
Rig - 2014, Jeep, Wrangler Rubicon 2 door
Overlanding Experience Background - We are definitely new to overlanding but have experience wheeling back home in Florida. It's a whole new world here out west and we cannot wait to get out there and gain experience in this new terrain!

My wife and I are currently travelling the U.S. (My wife does contract work in the medical field) in our bus conversion and have been bit by the overlanding bug. Hope to meet many of you while we are travelling!

Here are a few pictures of our rig!

Good Evening all! I'm new to the site and have adventure in my heart.
Location: Northern, Va
Rig: 2016 Jeep Patriot High Altitude 4x4 R.R.O 2 and 1/8th Lift, Nitto Ridge Grappler Tires.

I've been obsessed with the outdoors since I was in the military and spent time in Field doing Training Exercises. Overlanding just seems like a great and exciting way to get out in the elements while meeting other great people who also love the outdoors. I may not have the best Rig for overland driving, but it will be ready for a good deal of whats to come. I'm just happy to start the process. I love adventure and I don't shy away from a challenge.

I'm new to overlanding, very shy and not much of a people person and loved the great outdoors, so overlanding was the perfect thing for me.
