Hello I'm Heather from the Pacific Northwest. No overlanding rig (yet?) but that is mainly because my job doesn't allow enough vacation time for any overlanding adventures I'd be interested in. I have, however, spent some time in the Four Corners area. This is where I want to expand my adventures.

What would I like to get out of this forum? My big "problem" is navigating on roads that scare the ever living daylights out of me. (Moki Dugway, for example.) I want to get over this fear though I'm not sure how. I've tried as a driver, I've tried as a passenger and the fear is quite strong.

Hi everyone,

I am Charles from the DC/Maryland/NoVa region of the US. I have been interested in overlanding and rigs for a while now, and have decided to sign up. Totally new to this. No rig yet, but it's in the plans, still unsure of what platform to dip into. Right now I just daily the fiesta that I have had since 2010.

Hey guys, I'm Seth!

I am in Loveland, CO

I drive a 2004 Toyota 4Runner V8, 5" lift on ProComp and Bilstein 5100's, Light Racing UCA's, ProComp Coils, with home built front and rear bumpers. She has 315x12.6x17 shoes, and 1.5" Spidertrax. She has been an aboslute blast up here in the Mountains.

Ive been offroading different machines since I was about 8 years old, but I started with the Toyota and other Jeeps back in 2013! I would say I am experienced, but no where near pro or advanced.

I love this group! Thanks for having me!

Hello all,
I think I’ve been overlanding my whole life but didn’t know what to call it. Started on enduro motorcycles in the Mojave desert around Lake Havasu, AZ, and now I’m in a 2000 Toyota 4Runner in the Colorado Rockies.

I really like the philosophy here and on the YouTube channel and I’m looking forward to becoming part of the community over the coming years.

Thanks for what’s happening here!

Howdy! I'm Sam. I'm from central Ohio, and I drive an '04 Ford Ranger. I've spent most of my life outdoors, so overland feels like the next way to keep adventuring. I'm new to this personally, but I have been on some trips with friends. That said, I'm exited to learn as much as I can from everyone here.

Hello all,
Was just recently introduced to over landing, I've been doing it for a bit but didnt know there was a community, working on building up my new truck to a proper rig, 1994 chevy k1500 with a slight lift and a camper top, eventually want to get a tent but for now air mattress in the bed works good.

Hello everyone my name is Kiano. I’m from Long Island New York. I’m a weekend adventurer/explorer and up until I got my Acura MDX I didnt to do much off-roading strictly paved roads since my last car was well a car. Since purchasing my Adventure Rig I’ve been camping off the beaten path and loving every second of it. Furthest west I’ve ever been was West Virginia. I’ve traveled up and down the east coast almost every weekend for the past 2 years.

Now for my Rig. Well she’s stock but it manages to handle every obstacle I throw at it so no complaints yet.

Future mods are on the Back burner until I get adequate camping equipment. I’ve only ever seen 1 or 2 Mdx’s on the trails and they’re owned by the same person.

I’m looking for more like minded people to follow on Instagram

Howdy from Cibolo, Texas! I'm new to the group, but I've done some light overlanding in the past. Much of it involves rumbling around Hidden Falls near Marble Falls, TX. :)

I have a 2016 Toyota 4Runner TE and my modifications aren't too wild so far:

• Shrockworks rock sliders and skid plates
• Gobi Stealth rack with ladder
• MAXTRAX (love those things)
• Krazy Beaver shovel
• Bilstein 5100s
• Kenwood TM-D710GA (73's from W5WUT) w/Comet SBB-5 2m/70cm antenna
• BF Goodrich AT KO2 265/70/17

Hello all, Jeff here & I live in the NE corner of Oklahoma. I have been (overlanding) longer then I would care to admit. I cut my teeth in the northern woods of Minnesota, spent a few years lost in the deserts of the west, & now the last two decades running around the back countries of Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, & Arkansas. My currant rig is a 04 Chevy Trailblazer that's been nothing but a beast for me. I know most see the goofy IFS they used and run for other options. Myself, I know it's abilities, proceed within those limits, & enjoy views most only dream of seeing. I've owned & built MANY off-road toys from overlanders/tube frame rock buggies & know they have their place. But I'd rather enjoy the open road in comfort with reasonable trail abilities these days.
I look forward to meeting some like minded people!

Hey Everyone,
Wanted a place to get input and learn more about overlanding. I’m a prior service Marine, and recently got interesting in overlanding while doing a build for my little brother as a surprise / welcome to fatherhood. We both love to be outside and he loves his 4Runner. It started with the engine needing to be rebuilt and took off from there.

Brand new here. Name is Todd and I've been adventuring for many, many years. Live just north of Vancouver Washington. Truck is an 06' Ram 1500 TRX4, 5.7l with a Sunlite pop-up camper. Always aiming to be completely self contained for camping with comfort while keeping the rig agile enough to get where I want/need to go. Cascade mountains of Oregon and Washington, and desert of Eastern Oregon are my favorites. I'm a ham radio operator KB7RQQ so try to include that in my adventures with various portable gear. Instagram is @guitodd . Looking forward to learning from others on OB.

If you are a HAM and have DMR Radio capabilities... I can be found on talkgroup 31655

Hey everyone! Discovered the group in a backward fashion through Overland Expo West, and by proxy of Triple Aught Design and TAV llc.

Location: Northern California (Sacramento and Bay Area)

NEW 2019 Toyota Tacoma Offroad. Have a rooftop tent and cab/bed rack installed. I would love opinions on Bilstein vs. King suspension and tires as I'm near some awesome trails.

Beginner but I have attempted trails in snow and dirt around my area as well as dust (moon rocks, nv). I'm an avid backpacker and climber, while currently adjusting to running an overland rig (such much more space!).

Welcome to Overland Bound, glad to see you here in the forums. As @KentR stated I am your U.S. West member representative, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me @Magic Mike . You can also contact our Regional Director @Narbob for questions as well. Make sure and browse through the new member threads, there is a lot of good information that will help you navagate the OB website. Also check Rally Points for upcoming trip, meetup and other events.

There are several meetups within easy driving distance of Sacramento. The Gold Country Overland meetup in Auburn, Sierra Foothills Overlanders in El Dorado Hills and starting in October there will be one in Elk Grove.

Look forward to meeting you out there on the trail.
