Always good to have another OBW join the ranks. Make sure you add yourself to the Subaru Owners Registry!

Welcome, I could be considered new as well, and like you I can't wait to get some dirt on the tires, well here on the east coast I'll have to swap out the dirt for some snow. Until then I would like to wish you and your family a wonderful Holiday Season.

Hello everyone my name is Brian and together with my wife Crystal we travel the roads of the Pacific Northwest in our converted 2009 Chevy Suburban that we call, Jack Burban. Based out of Klamath Falls, Oregon we have adventures by car quite a bit but only recently decided to document the journey with our new to us ride, with The Adventures of Jack Burban.
Jack is mostly stock, what we have changed is adding a platform in the back to contain drawers for storage and a camp kitchen. On top of the platform is a tri-folding mattress. We have added a small solar generator for electrical and mounted a small flexible solar panel on the roof. More details on the build and information of our travels are available on our website.
I look forward to learning more from this community and participating when and where I can.
Brian.

Hello Brian , Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @Big G 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.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome Daniel and hope to see you on the trails.

Hi All, thanks for having me.
Here's my "Wangler" (2020 Tacoma TRD Offroad). Definitely still in its infancy but has taken us to many adventures so far!
We're from Phoenix, AZ. Just started overlanding these past 6 months, decided to join the community after running into a group on a recent trip to Utah who let us join up with their caravan
Looking forward to learning more about all of this!

Hello Brian and Crystal, welcome to the OB community. As Mike Rose mentioned I am the Southern Oregon Region Members Representative and can be reached on the OB website at @Big G. I am so excited to have another member in our region and look forward to meeting up with you at some point. We had our first meet and greet back in early March and of course Covid put a damper on things. Some of our members did a day trip to the mountains back in September and then another group did section 6 of the OBDR in October . We haven't done anything since and with the current status of Covid we won't do much until things lighten up. If you have any questions, or suggestions feel free to get a hold of me. Your Suburban looks really good and obviously well taken care of. If we don't connect again in the next couple of weeks I'd like to wish the both of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hi everyone! I've been an aspiring overlander for while (aspiring= wanting to get a "capable" 4x4, but didn't have one yet) and I've been a member for about 2 yrs. I've been watching the OB YT channel for about 3 years and the idea of being able to explore places really spoke to me. Well after a lot waiting and planning and paying things off, I was finally in the position to sell my "boy racer" sedan and get a used 4x4 to start the journey!! I finally got my budget rig today!! It's a 2001 Mitsubishi Monetro XLS. It's kinda janky and is going to need a little tlc, but I'm so excited to be able to take my family on adventures!
I've got some ideas of what I want to start working on and the upgrades that I want to add, but it's going to spend most of it's life in the city. I live in Chicago so it can't get too big and I'm not planning on crawling up any mountains; just some light off roading , some rocks and snow. But before all that I need to make sure it's mechanically sound. I lied. First I need to get an FM bluetooth transmitter according to my wife.
Behold. My Montero. It's beautiful. I never thought I'd be this excited to get an old truck. This is the best angle, lol.

New member. I went on a ride last week in Las Vegas because a friend invited me. Loved it!! So much that I ran home and had to join. What a great comunity. I have been doing adventures like this my whole life but usually alone or with the family. Can’t wait to get out and meet more great people. I attached some pics from my drone. #CMFB4x4
