Hi! Newbie to both this site and overlanding from the Houston Texas area. I've had my Jeep for a little more than two years and am loving putting it to the test and taking it to new and exciting places. It's getting up prep work done for a long trip to the Arctic next summer (2022).

Hi folks.

My name is Dallas. My wife and I live in central Florida, and have been doing a bunch of car camping out of my 2WD F150 for the last year. Pretty much we drive up to GA, NC, or TN camp at a camp ground and go hiking. We've been enjoying it enough we want our trip to get more into the overlanding idea where the trip up and back is it's own adventure and not just 10 hours on an interstate. Due to our new dog not fitting in the current truck, we just bought a 2014, four door, 4WD F150 and are going to set it up for more adventurous trips. I'm looking forward to learning more and getting gear tips and new places to check out from the members here.

Howdy folks,

My name is Brad, I’m 38 and I’m located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I have been doing a fair amount of overlanding my whole life, but recently have become more enthralled by the allure of exploring farther and more self sufficiently.
I grew up on the Oregon Coast and have had a bad fly fishing addiction since I was a youngster. As you can imagine overlanding has gotten me to some amazing rivers and lakes, as fishing and overlanding go hand and hand. About 3 years ago I finally reached the point in my life that I could afford the truck I’ve always wanted, a double cab longbox Tacoma. I realize that the long wheelbase isn’t necessarily the best for approach & clearance, but I have 2 kiddos under 5, a wife and a 100LB Great Pyrenees, so space is needed for our adventures.
My wife and I have explored many backroads around the Oregon/Washington area for the last decade plus. 2 years ago we bought a 16ft pop-up trailer for adventures with the growing family, which has been great, albeit not the easiest thing to maneuver on some trails (truck & trailer=35ft).
In the past year I’ve started putting some mods on the Taco, put a TRD suspension on it, accessory racks in the bed, new camper shell, racks, etc.. currently have armor on lead time and more new mods to come.
I’m super excited to become part of the Overland Bound community as it seems like cool people with the same type of interests as myself, along with the fact that overlanding is a super family friendly pastime that allows me to teach my children lots of cool things to do with vehicles & the outdoors. The vistas and sunrises/sunsets come as a welcome bonus.

Hey all! Happy to be a new member in what seems to be an awesome community. I'm not new to off-roading and exploring back roads but just starting out in overlanding proper.

I'm in the Seattle area and my rig is a 2003 Tundra SR5 V8 4x4. The only things I've done to prepare so far is a 2.5" OME lift with Deaver AALs and air springs to support the RTT/ shell setup. We've already got our RTT and should have our reinforced camper shell next month. My next big project is building out a drawer system in the bed with an integrated kitchen setup.

I'm excited to see what others have done and to get some tips and ideas!

Hello, My name is Christopher. I'm not completely new to Overlanding but I am new to overland Bound and I'm happy to be here. I have been thinking of joining for a couple of years now but just never did until recently. I have a 2012 JK 2 door based out of Northern California. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I did our first desert run and completed the Mojave road. It was an amazing trip!
