Hello, located in Western WA, driving a 2015 Outback. Lots of camping and backpacking experience in the PNW. Getting into setting my car up to be off-grid and self-sustaining.

Welcome! What part of Western WA? I'm on Whidbey Island (north of Seattle by an hour). Make sure to check out the local region's forums for events and meetups. Also, the Rally Point system and Member Map are always great resources. If you need anything, feel free to PM me or hit me up on the forums at @Gabriel Bozeman.

Outbacks can make some boss rigs. Hope your build goes well.

Cheers!

Hi another FNG here.

I've got a 64 Willys Traveler that I've modified over the years to spend more time off road and camp with.

Love your Jeep. So awesome!

Hello all! My name is Matt George. New guy here from East Tennessee.
I have a 2011 Silverado 1500 CC lifted 4" and a few other performance mods.
Complete newbie to overlanding.
My wife and I love to camp and travel. We fell in love with the idea of overland adventuring after renting an overland vehicle from Hatch Adventures in Bozeman, MT.
Hobbies are traveling, camping, hiking, hunting and fishing, and using my bass boat.
I am glad I found this site/forum so maybe you all can give me some ideas for building my own overland bed rack and add to my truck.

Hi Everyone

just joined after watching Mike’s channel and realizing his shop of choice for major surgery is right here in Lafayette CA.

Total newbie to overlanding. Looking forward to what I can learn and discover. In the process of building out our truck with my son. Starting with electrical components and moving to bumpers and skid plates/armor when high school shop class opens up for “projects” later this year.

Afternoon everyone.

I'm located just north of Chicago, a little south of the Wisconsin border. I'm new to overlanding, and new to off roading. Watching all the videos, and reading some of the stories here the desire to get out and explore is strong.
I picked up a 2002 Jeep grand Cherokee about a year ago and I've slowly been going through it bit by bit. I finished the 4 inch lift not long ago.
My first trip is probably going to be the Trans Wisconsin adventure trail.

Let me know when you are going. We could meet up on the trail. I've been wanting to check out the T.W.A.T. for a while now.

Hello everyone I'm new to this and have been watching youtube on others that have been overlanding and my wife and I thought it would be nice to travel and see the country this way. we live in Las Vegas but travel for my work to the western part of the US often hope to meet others out on the road

Hello, I'm Michael @irock.out88 on IG and rig (Roxy) @radzerzr2 on IG. Excited to by Overland Bound Member 19871!!!

Stoked for more adventure, rally points, and events OB is engaged with, as well as meeting other OB members.

Location: Yreka, CA (when I'm not traveling for work and/or roaming/overlanding)
Rig: 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 @ ~44,000 miles (time to replace OEM tires before winter)
Overlanding Experience Background: Novice. More wheeling experience than overlanding.

 

[isaacweber78]

Good day all, I finally joined after a couple months of putting it off. I have an '02 Xterra I am slowly working on and fixing up to make into my over landing vehicle. I am on IG @isaacweber78, and live in the Inland Empire, hoping to be able to meet other members around. Below are a couple latest photos, since then I have added sliders (not quite finished yet) and going to make cowel light brackets this weekend. Maintenance is almost done, just putting off the oil pan gasket replacement until I have help! I look forward to see everyone's rings and mods!

Welcome and nice rig! So many options out there for the Taco. Definitely like that Toyota still offering the manual trans!

Welcome! Looks like you have a rifle box up there ;) What are your plans to outfit? Seems like a great platform to work with there.
