Welcome, Kimmie

Hi, Hans from Norway here. Driving a 2015 F150 4x4 Lariat. Equipped with Fox 2” lifting kit and 20” rims with BF K2 285/55/20 at the moment. Been an outdoorsman for many years but just last two years with my Ford and roof tent. It’s rather addicting:-) Looking for forward to read and learn a lot in this forum.

How wide is your RTT? I'm Looking to get one but still debating if I'm going for roofnest or CVT.

Open or closed measurement? I have a CVT Denali and I love it! It's very big

Oh I see. I'm actually looking at the CVT Mt. Hood. They have the medium and large size. I have the 4runner so I might just go with the medium size.

Welcome, Hans.

 

[M Rose]

I just joined last week and look forward to slapping the Overland Bound medallion on my YJ when it arrives later today.

I'm on the wrong side of middle agedom, family man, a veteran with gallows humor, charmingly obnoxious (debatable), and based out of the Columbia Basin, Eastern Washington.

My vehicle is a 1991 Jeep Yj w/ 4.0 and three-speed automatic. Like all offroading/expedition vehicles, the project is never "done" and I keep plugging away at it. The build is geared more towards expedition than wheeling, but I do plan on upgrading the rear axle, installing lockers, and putting some 35s on it to tackle some trails like the Rubicon.

I'm a lifelong outdoorsman but new to Overlanding. One of my Backpacking buddies and I are going out once or twice per month and learning as we go. We plan on driving the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route next summer and taking a couple months to meander up to Deadhorse when I retire in a little less than two years.

My other passions include backpacking, photography, traveling, spending time with my family, and interrupting conversations to show people pictures of whatever upgrade I made to my Jeep that week.

Thanks for having me.

Hello Ian , Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. @PNW EXPLR is your closest member representative.

To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).

Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.

Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.

Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.

Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.

Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.

Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.

Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.

Lastly, we have a monthly conference call on the third Sunday of the month starting November 15th, 2020 at 19:30 hours Pacific Time. I encourage everyone to participate in these calls as we mentor each other on various topics. November we are discussing Portable Power options.

Inland Northwest Monthly Conference Call

Go check in to the Tri-Cities Club House, a lot of friendly conversations and off the books meetups happening on that thread.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome Daniel and hope to see you on the trails.

Mike Rose
Northwest Director

Hey Ian.

Welcome to the crew!

I am excited about your BDR trip next year. I was going to run it this summer but things got weird.

Not sure where you are located but i look forward to meeting you some day.

Another new guy here. Just got into it all, I built my rack for my f150 and threw a FSR tent up top. I’m currently in a trip, I left Upper MI and made my way down to SC and now I’m slowly headed back. So far the setup is perfect.

You might want to narrow down you location a bit so members know the general area you are located. This will help with getting information about meet-ups and trips.

Hey everyone! Just started out on this overland adventure with my 2012 Jeep Liberty. Ive got him set up as a car camping rig right now, sleeping inside the back. Big plan is to head to the arctic circle, hence the username! Right now im stuck to the concrete sprawl of southeast michigan, but the potholes and dirt roads help me feel a little more excitement.

Glad to be here!

Awesome and welcome aboard! Keep all hands and feet inside this ride at all times! No seriously, welcome and that artic circle trip sounds like a really COOL adventure!

Howdy Folks, New to the Crew!

Been pestered on the trail constantly to join, finally the sheer numbers got me! So here I am. Ready to tear it up (figuratively speaking, I keep on the trails and pick up trash)

I rock at 2018 Ram Power Wagon with the AT Habitat being the attention getter. Currently on 35s with plans to goto 40's because everyone else is doing it and I just want to be cool! Rock Sliders, diff armor, and skid plates, and low IQ let me take this full size battleship on a lot of trails I probably shouldn't.

Lots to build out on the rig, have the king shocks in my garage, now just need some time haha! Its a constant work in progress like many.

Love to adventure!

See ya all out on the trail!

 

[Overland Omnivore]

Not a true 'over-lander',
but this Crosstrek has taken us places our old Honda wouldn''t have found. More adventures planned for 2021. I hope to learn from this group.

We will have to go and do some paddling some time. I like to include a paddling trip with my overlanding when ever possible. Keep a look out for a running of the THOR this summer which will include a run of Sugar Creek in Indiana

 

[JAM420]

Hello folks my name is Jess. Currently me and my wife have been traveling and living full-time in our RV for the last year.
Me and the misses have decided that living in an RV is too comfortable and has been keeping us from traveling how we really want to. So we decided that we are selling our RV and buying an expedition trailer.

Currently we are in Florida and have found a trailer that we will be looking at next week.. We will be pulling itwith an 02 Excursion with the 6.8L V10.
With that being said, we are novices with the overland style of camping and are very excited about this transition. Our goal it to be able to go completely off grid in the near future.
Looking forward to gaining some knowledge from being on here and I'm hoping to meet some really good people.


Thanks
Jess
