THANKS FOR THE ADD! Paige here. I used to overland before it was called that, maybe, and I'm so excited to start a new chapter in life where I get to make my life outdoors centeric FIRST. And I'm determined to bring my kiddo into the way of life as a way of being.

For now I've got a 2008 Taco that I'm about to start building. I spent several years thinking Subarus were enough for me. They're still awesome, but I'm never looking back after switching to a 4x4 and feeling that thrill. So...we're gearing up for a long road ahead and long life together!!

She's pretty base right now. Wait 6 months...things are about to change!

Welcome aboard, Paige! It was great running into you and the others at PINS! I look forward to seeing where your adventure takes you. This is a great group here.

@JPM78130 - WHAT'S UP!! I'd love to stay in touch with y'all's whole crew! What a serendipitous turn of events...also getting to spend a few minutes hearing what @Hourless Life life has planned...y'all were an awesome, unexpected delight. I expect more of those kinds of encounters the more overlanding I do. I have been missing this kind of community.

Hi everyone! I’m from Los Angeles CA. Just got a 2010 FJ Cruiser and very excited to meet new people and hit the trails!

I guess I start here:

Just the basics - just took delivery of a 2021 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison. We're very excited! Previously had a 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 that we were building for overlanding but decided to go whole-hog and get a Bison. We used to be heavily into exploring with a 2007 FJ Cruiser but life got in the way for a few years. Excited to get back into it!

Welcome Brian!

I joined about year ago and am finally getting around to a proper introduction! We are traveling with a 2020 GMC Savana van that has a Quigley 4x4 and lift installed along with independent suspension. We are pulling a Bruder EXP-6 with it that arrived here in the U.S. at the end of September. We hopped in and took off the following week for 9 weeks of backroads across 18 states and 9000 miles! We are totally new to overlanding but had a great time. Next trip will begin at the end of February. Looking forward to meeting many of you along the way!View attachment 184910View attachment 184916View attachment 184917View attachment 184918

Hello , Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. @Gabriel Bozeman 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 and hope to see you on the trails.

Mike Rose
Northwest Director

Hello Overlanders,

My fiance and I are from NYC and over the summer we converted our 2007 Toyota 4Runner into an overlanding rig. We are now venturing throughout the states for the next 8 months visiting National Parks and other beautiful locations. We are very novice as coming from the city we did not have many opportunities to go camping but we are travelers and adventures at heart. We are glad to join this community to learn from other overlanders!

Are you taking the highways between destinations or are you trying to find dirt roads and "long ways" between?

I’m looking at the bison ZR2 diesel and I’m going to pull the plug this year. Trans went out in the 17 F350 dually so that ate up a few dollhairs.

Had the diesel in our Z71, went with the gas engine on the ZR2. Nothing wrong with the baby Duramax, it just doesn't like cold weather (as in -20 to -30 F) with no garage and no ability to plug in a block heater!

Hey all. I’m Burton. New to over landing. No trails to speak of in my area of north Florida so I’ll need to do some traveling to get to anything.
2004 Ford F-150 that I have owned since it was new.
I’m excited about the fun to be had.

I camped up your way not long ago in Torrey state park. Love the north fl area. Were from the tampa area.
