I’m from Ohio, my rig Sleipnir is a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK 2 door. I have ridden Ophir Pass and the Table Mesa Trail most recently but planning to run plenty more very soon. I would love to meet up with other members and explore, my son would also love to join us, he’s only 2 but already obsessed.

Hi, I’m Caleb, new to overlanding but not new to the outdoors.
Location: Denver NC (not near as exciting as CO)
Rig: 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road, 2 inch lift
Experience: I’ve been hitting the trails every other weekend since November 2020. My RRT is a game changer.

Looking forward to meeting you on a trail!

Hi everyone!
This is Kevin, my 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5L. He's basically stock except for the Falken Wildpeak A/T tires.
I live in the Bay Area, and I am a complete novice to overlanding. I did some driving around on unpaved roads in Capital Reef, some BLM stuff in the snow, and the Bonneville Salt Flats; but I am looking for somewhat more challenging overlanding with camping.

Hello Overland Bound Community!

Let me start by saying how thrilled I am to be part of this group! I grew-up camping as a kid. And I guess I’d say my first “overland trip” was with my grandfather when I was younger. He took a kid from OK to the mountains of CO, to Yellowstone National Park (WY), and into the Badlands (SD). Over the past few years, my family and I have been exploring other parts of the county (TX, OK, MO, AR, NM, CO) on solo adventures, but it is nice to become part of a community now.

Base Camp: Fort Worth, TX
Rig: 2020 Subaru Outback Onyx XT
Set-up: New Project with Big Plans
Off-Road: Some experience but always learning

Hello all! My name is Sutton and I just picked up a pretty kitted out rig as building wasn't really an option as I am a bit of a nomad with the WFH craze given the past year (will eventually be in NYC area). Novice Overlander but always had a car obsession while loving the outdoors, so why not combine them! Meet Rosie the Raptor!

Hey everyone! I guess I'm the new guy.
My name is Zac. I'm originally from the central coast of CA (Nipomo to be exact) but moved to Walla Walla, WA about 4 years ago and purchased a house up here.
I grew up camping and wheeling with my dad and his '69 Bronco, so I'm no stranger to the outdoors/wheeling.
I've had many 4wd rigs, but currently I have a 2000 WJ. It's currently on a 4" lift and 35's.
I'm glad to be here and to learn!
Welcome Zac!

What’s going on big dawgs?!? Glad to be a part of the gang! Based out of Santa Barbara but try to get our one a month to visit cool places. Mostly frequenting SoCal deserts and the 395 corridor as of late but would like to check out northern CA in the coming months as the weather warms up. Let’s do some cool shit!
Howdy! Welcome!
