My name is Eric Failes and I have a old 1966 jeep cj5. It is a work in progress and I am new to the over landing world. I live in Michigan and ride motorcycles whenever possible. Lol! Any help or ideas for a low budget build on my jeep, the help is appreciated. Thank youNew Members,
Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!
A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:
1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!
In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:
From @administrator
- Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
- We will not further define "overlanding".
- "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
- You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
- Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
- Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
- Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
- It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
- We do not care about make or model.
- We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
- We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
- Humility.
- We respect, fear, and protect nature.
- "I don't know" is a great answer.
- We don’t brag about exploits.
- We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
- We engage in the very smallest of interactions.

Welcome Mark from the mainland.Greetings from the Frozen North of Palmer Ak. I am a new member to Overland Bound, I have been camping in and traversing the backcountry of Alaska since I was a child. I am currently building a new 2019 Tacoma for my overland rig as my trusty but rusty 1996 Suburban has seen its well loved but better days. I am a vehicle and heavy equipment mechanic by trade and do not mind helping out with diagnostics and vehicle parts and service related questions if needed.
Look forward to chatting with everyone on the forums.
Mark.

Love the Xterras! Nice looking garage, too. I've got serious garage envy of anyone with a nice garage...Thanks. Got a couple...

And my 2015 version, with 150k less miles!

Both used on a weekly basis. Just getting going on the '15. RTT should be next or installing winch and rear helper spring. It certainly needs it when it sags that much under several hundred pounds of lava rock!
Looking forward to camping w the new one.
