Hi everyone. I am Matt, sometimes I go by M.E., because there are quite a lot Matt Smiths in the world.
I live in Greer, SC.
I am very much a novice in this world, currently have a 1997 f150 which is more a road machine than a off road machine.
I plan on getting a Toyota Tacoma at the beginning of next year, and I’m just looking to learn!

Whats up yall! Im from Fayetteville, AR and I currently drive a 2016 Toyota Tacoma Limited! I wouldn't say I am an experienced overlander, but I definitely have some experience! Here a pic of the rig a few weeks agoView attachment 173408

Are you going to rendezvous this weekend?

 

[jcgraves3]

Hi there,

I'm a happy overlander. I love the challenge of building up a rig that suits my needs. I'm currently in a 2008 Tundra. So far I've installed an OME 2" lift, switched over to Falken AT3W's for tires (love them!), have created a sleeping/storage/kitchen area in the bed with a shell over the top, built my own GooseGear-style back seat storage, have installed and am adding to a solar setup, and have various accessories on top of the Rhino Rack roof rack. I'm adding a front and rear bumper setup from Expedition One next weekend!

I live in Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge, and absolutely love to go out on various kinds of trips with my friends. Exploring and getting out there really makes my life more full. Other things I do:
Photography
Fishing
Hiking
Biking

...and the list goes on. Happy to be a part of this forum. Looking forward to all of the information I can get.

Hello all,

My name is Matthew and my wife is Natasha, we live in Tennessee in the middle of Nashville and knoxville. We started overlanding last year and took our first long distance trip this summer where we went to Colorado and Utah. Our goal is take a big trip every year. Our vehicle of choice is a 19 tacoma and we are currently working on fixing a m416 trailer to take with us.

Welcome To Overland Bound Matthew and Natasha.

Hey Yall! I am a new member, been trying to get into camping and some outdoors therapy more! Above is a picture of my Taco with my Truckbed Tent, just recently upgraded to a RTT waiting to take it out on it maiden voyage. I drive a 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 but you cant tell anymore as I have completely de-badged it and applied some GOAT armor to help with my desert pin striping. Been out overlanding a few times with a few local peeps here in the Tucson area, this summer was kinda a bust because of the big fire we had on Mt Lemmon, then my wife deployed (military) so priorities got shifted. Looking forward to getting back out there again. Hoping to do some meet-ups with fellow members from Southern AZ.

Hello my name is Kevin and I have been overlanding for a while but recently discovered Overland Bound. I drive a 1989 Subaru GL touring wagon that’s been modified pretty heavily. Located in Bakersfield, CA so explore the sierras and desert pretty regularly with my 7 year old son Hunter. Nice to meet you all!
