Hello all, I am from the United Arab Emirates and have a 2017 F150 Limited. Currently planning to transform my f150 to an overlanding vehicle since I was intrigued by the experience by a fellow OB member. I am excited to do my first trip in the upcoming 2-4 months. Thank you :)

Hello Everybody!
I’m strictly a novice wheeler, haven’t even been over-landing yet, and only been on one trail!
My rig is a base model 2013 Tacoma with the smaller 4 cylinder engine.
I live in the Loveland, Ft. Collins Colorado region. (North of Denver)
I have a ground tent for the time being, but would like to upgrade to a truck top tent if this proves to be as fun as I believe it will.
I do plan on getting a small lift, upgrading the suspension and getting the truck regeared.
Best Wishes and Happy Travels!

Hello
I’m Curt I live on the north shore of Lake Superior. My rig is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I have very little over landing experience but have been back country camping and Boondocking for years. I love to explore and see what’s around the next corner and over that hill.

Hello all! Just joined the site after seeing the trip packing video on YouTube.

I'm near Atlanta and have a 2009 Land Cruiser. I posses very little overland experience but have a lot of camping/backpacking experience, although it's been a while. Most of it took place during my boy scout years back in the day.

Lots of plans in store for the truck, but it'll come in little pieces here and there. Hope to see some of you out there in the north Georgia mountains!

New to Overland Bound. My boys and I enjoy the outdoors: hiking, fishing, camping, 4 wheeling. Getting older and my knees aren't what they used to be (is anything?), so I'll be using my 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk more and my hiking boots less. Looking forward to learning from the community and sharing good times.

My wife and I are retired, long time RVers and are re-discovering Overlanding. Over several two day to two week trips we have slowly upgraded our tow vehicle with gear to be self sufficient and more adventurous than we could with the trailer while having the option to use the trailer as a "base camp".

Hey folks, new guy reporting in from Michigan. I'm a novice overlander running a stock 17' Lexus GX460 with A/T tires. I'm an experienced backpacker and bike tourist with tons of tent camping experience, some formal wilderness survival training, and 30,000 miles+ of road trips under my belt. I decided recently it was time for a more capable off-road rig after nearly stranding myself in a Colorado wilderness area in my stock VW Golf Alltrack. Simultaneously, our family decided we wanted to upgrade our pop-up camper to a small travel trailer. After much debate we settled on a GX460 for its combination of tow/cargo capacity, V8 engine, off-road capability, and smaller size relative to other large tow vehicles. My philosophy is to take lots of trips, only buy what I think I'll need for the next one, and replace anything I break on the trail with something more useful or dependable.

Hello Overlanders.
Scott V, Berthoud Co.
Obviously new here. I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a recently added 2019 Ford Ranger. Long time off roader of all sorts, two and four wheels, ski’s, snowshoes, or hiking boots. Grew up in the mountains of Colorado and love being outdoors. Generally out exploring the roads less travelled and avoiding campgrounds. Looking forward to being a part of this community and from others experience. It’s my hope that I can be helpful and add something good for others to make their time more enjoyable.
I’m in the process of building the Ranger to increase my range, would like to get a little further from home to explore some new territory.
Best of luck to you all! Scott
