Hello everyone , my name is Michael I live in Carmichael Ca. New to overland adventure. Recently purchased a 4Runner TDR off road and looking forward to over land travel with my wife. I am an experienced dirt bike and motorcycle camping adventurer so the transition should be smooth. Happy to be part of the Overland Community I know the forums and advise from others will help me with building a rig that will suit my needs. Thanks Michael38D3F8B3-4030-4ABF-884F-A5A7ECD3E849.jpeg

Hey everyone, I'm Dave and currently located in Lemoore,Ca. We moved here about 8 months ago and really like the area because of it's location. I just picked up this 1995 FJ80 (FZJ for the technical types!) over the weekend and looking forward to getting out there.

I'm Travis from Castaic CA. I have a 2017 F150 4x4. Brand new to overlanding though I've been camping, back packing ,and going to the desert to ride dirtbikes since I was a kid.
Convinced the wife overlanding would be a great way to get back into camping with our infant son as he gets older. She has also been asking me to go backpacking for years now.
So I'm going to start building my daily into a somewhat capable overland rig.View attachment 140421

Hi all, new here. I have a 2016 Jeep Patriot 4x4
Growing up I remember crossing the USA every year or two from west coast to east coast with my Grandfather in his converted bread trucks and vans that he lived in. My family are all “gypsies” and traveling over land is in my blood. When I met my wife and had kids I planted my roots here in Arizona. I turned wrenches for the last 15 yrs (another gift from my grandpa) but have always missed that travel. I to this day think of all the scenic routes I traveled with my grandfather in those old bread trucks. Some of the best childhood memories I have. Anyway thanks for having me and re-sparking those feelings once again.

Welcome to Overland Bound, nice 4Runner. I am your U.S. West member representative and if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me @Magic Mike or you can also contact @PapaDave. You can also contact our Regional Director @Narbob if the need arises.

Make sure and browse through the new member threads for some good information, which will make navigating the OB website that much easier. Also keep an eye on Rally Points and the member calendar. You will find upcoming local meetups, trainings and trail runs in these two places.

From your location there are three local meetups within driving distance; Gold Country Overland in Auburn, Sierra Foothills Overland in Cameron Park and the Elk Grove meetup. For further information refer to Rally Points or the Calendar.

Welcome once again and I look forward to meeting you out on the trails.

Mike
