Hiii Guys! I Just Received my Overland Bound Emblem today i was so excited to see the package in the mail :)

This is the rig just outside Jasper, Alberta last year its a 2013 ford F150 pretty much stock for now. Looking forward to getting some outfitting inspiration and first on my list is a canopy to turn into a camper shell or bed rack with roof top tent. :)

Howdy from the Texas Hill Country.

"Abbi" is my 2014 FJ which has been kinda in limbo as I have been working overseas for a few years.

Heading home and hope to start a build on it....will need help and mentorship.
I had an awesome 2013 MT Toyota Tacoma which would go "almost" anywhere....now the FJ. We have always been outdoors people (camping, hiking, tubing) and enjoy the wheeling / off road community. Experience wise....I guess I would be an intermediate driver based on lots of sand and mud driving but not so much in rocky terrain.

Hello,

New member, Phil here. Just "badged in" last week, just waiting on it to arrive in the mail! Located in Northern Virginia (NoVA) and would love to know if there are any decent overlanding options people know of within the local area.

I daily drive an Army Green 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Besides some cosmetic changes, tires and wheels, and a LineX roof coating it is functionally stock.
(Previous was a white and black 2002 Nissan Xterra I called the stormtrooper.. see a theme here?)

I have no real overland experience besides liking to venture out on the road to go hiking/camping during blizzards while everything is empty and peaceful.
Nice to see another army green fj

1) Lafayette, CA
2) "Ubaru" - 2006 Subaru Forester X (big plans for the future)
3) New to overlanding but love the outdoors (Yosemite is my second home), taking the road less traveled, and find new places to explore.

4Runner MT_04.JPG Hey everyone! I'm new to forums so learning as I go.

1) Hope the picture shows up, if not, I'll try again.
2) Los Angeles, CA
3) 2016 4Runner TE (stock)
4) Overlanding experience - Novice but really enjoy hitting the trails. Don't have fancy equipment to get me out of trouble...just a couple of MAXTRAX plus AWESOME buddies, with capable rigs, that are able to pull me out!

Looking forward to learning more about new adventures and modifications that I can do with the 4Runner.

Thanks!

Hey All! I've been following the site and FB for a while and just realized in never joined the community. I call Tucson, AZ my homebase. I am in the beginning stages of my newest rig build, a 1994 GMC 2500 suburban with a 6.5L turbo diesel. It has been used as family transport for its first 22 years. Now I look forward to giving it new life as an overland rig. Happy travels! Bryan

HI
I'm Cassandra. Reside in Kentucky. Husband has gotten me (back) into the fun and addictive world taking the dirt path. We have been fortunate to have a Wrangler JKU and now this Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Our son has a Wrangler JK and our daughter wants to trade the SRX for a Renegade. We are still doing the normal life scene but we sneak out to the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway (98miles of great trails and history) when we get a long weekend. Husband and I want to outfit our vehicles for more adventures but it's a slow process. I like to make things myself versus buying so I have to take my time and get it right.

The Cherokee has amazed us so far. We took it on a trail recently and other than my personal reservations and not knowing the car, it did a great job...even in the water crossings. Something about it being sealed up tight!! We have some youtube videos - just search DBBB or Jeep Cherokee, it should show up.

Hi all!
New member in Fullerton CA
I drive a 07 Blue FJ Cruiser. With a few mild mods. More to come for sure.
Used to have a 95 ZJ grand Cherokee
It truly doesn't matter what you drive.
Ive been off roading for a while, but newer to the California area and would love to get to know the area and the other members.
My wife, dog and I love exploring new and exciting places. And I am always up for a challenge.

I'm a big fan of "built not bought". But damn it sure takes awhile sometimes.
