A recent transplant from KC, I have just landed in Tulsa OK.
In late march I picked up this 2011 4R. Added a lift kit, Black Rhino wheels, Front Runner rack, Front Runner drawer system, ARB fridge, rear light bar, led fogs and a new stereo.
I am a NOVICE overlander, but plan to change that this summer as my Roof Nest arrives in a few days. :)
My work takes me all over OK and KS working on SCADA systems for water and waste water.

Hello everyone, so excited to be apart of this community

2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser TT (Army Green). Stock roof rack has to go, looks nice but is completely useless.

Just got her back in December, stock for now but getting ready for a facelift soon enough.

Some camping experience, but ready to move forward with some new adventures.

Hey y’all!

I live just south of Atlanta and I’m stoked to be a part of this community.

I drive a 2019 Colorado Zr2 I’m new to the overland world! I love offroading and camping so I figured why not combine the two.

I can’t wait to meet some folks in Georgia and find some great trails and camping spots in the north Georgia/Carolina’s/Tennessee area.A9942A54-7E6E-4E62-893C-304E7B871892.jpeg

Welcome Ciff,
I am the Northwest Regional Director for Overland Bound. @Sandpoint Steve is your closest Member Representative.

Due to “Social Distancing” and “Shelter In Place” practices during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have temporarily postponed group meetups, trail rides, and Campouts. Instead the Northwest Member Rep Team has incorporated weekly conference calls each Sunday at 7:30 PM PST (8:30) Mountain Time). A full list with scheduling can be found at Sunday Night Regional Conference Call

Welcome once again
Stay well, stay safe
