Hello everyone, I’m not new to off-road but I am new to overland and building a 2007 Tahoe LT. just recently moved to the edge of the Great Basin in a little town called Susanville. It’s ideal for this obsession as I have the Great Basin on one side and the Sierra’s and Cascades on the other side.
Welcome to Overland Bound!
Lots of places to overland in all directions from Susanville.
Don't hesitate to message your Regional Director @Narbob if you have any questions. For local information about trips and meet-ups contact your NorCal Member Representatives; Bay Area @PapaDave, Sac/Foothills @Magic Mike, North State @Cottonwoody

Hi there!

Thanks for the add!

My wife and I have some camping experience and were looking into start overlanding this year (2020), but Covid-19 put a stop to it.

We are still learning as much as we can about rig setup, gear, budget, etc. There is soo much good content out there (and there is bad too lol).

One of my friends from work sent me to the Overland Bound community.

I hope to learn from you all and soon to be on the road with my family to create great experiences and connection with mother nature.

Cheers,

Paulo

Hello all!

My name is Travis, and I recently upgraded from a 2013 Subaru Outback 6MT that I used to get into the overlanding lifestyle (wagons are great for storage and sleeping!) to a 2010 F150 SCrew FX4. I am currently located in northern Alabama, and just ordered in an RCI 12" bed rack for the truck, starting the process of turning the new rig into an overland rig! I am an ultralight backpacker that wants to be able to have some creature comforts now and then while out enjoying the outdoors. That's one of the main reasons I started overlanding, but all things considered, I am a novice and I am looking forward to getting out more and learning!

Note - I noticed I didn't have any pictures of the truck without the bike, so 2 for 1 today!

My name is Adam

I have been camping, hiking and actively practicing wilderness skills for many years. Originally from northern California, Anderson Valley area, now firmly ensconced in the midwest.

Happily married, 2 kids, 13 year old english bulldog.

Our rig is a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.

I do all my own stunts as far as mechanical repairs and upgrades are concerned, and enjoy fabricating and making my own gear, it's not always pretty...

At any rate, glad to be here and look forward to becoming an active member of this community.

Greetings everyone,

My name is Aleem, I am very new to Overlanding as a whole and am looking forward to learning from all of your experiences and creating my own. I recently picked up a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD OR that I am planning to use as our overlanding rig and currently planning out mods. I am based out of Fort Collins, Co. I have some experience in off-road driving (rally style) but nothing like what overlanding will bring. I just ordered my membership, and look forward to growing with this community.

Here's my bare rig:

What’s up gang. Newbie here and it’s my time to say hello. I herd about the site from Trail Recon. As you all know, overloading is a deeeep Rabbit hole. I love the community and can’t wait for some adventure with cool people.
Current rig- 2000 Jeep TJ, big long list of equipment and upgrades. We typically would be in Moab this week:(.
Live In Rocklin Ca. It’s at the base of the Sierra Nevada’s if your not from the area. I’m very luck to have the Rubicon trail and others in my back yard.

look forward to meeting up with you locals soon.

Welcome to Overland Bound and very nice rig. If I were to another Jeep it would be a TJ, I love the body style. I am your U.S. West member representatives. if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me @Magic Mike, or you can contact our Regional Director @Narbob if the need arises.

Make sure to browse the New member threads for some great information that will help you navigate the Overland Bound website. Also make sure to keep an eye on Rally Points and the member calendar for upcoming trail runs. local meetups and trainings.

There are three local meetups within driving distance from your location. The Gold Country Meetup in Auburn, the Sierra Foothills group, in Cameron park and the Elk Grove meetup. As of right now, due to the Covid19 virus all physical (in person) meetups have been suspended but keep an eye out for on-line style meetups.

I look forward to meeting out on the trail...

Mike
