Hi all! So excited to be members and part of this community. We both grew up camping and fishing but are new to overlanding. We like the adventure and seeing new sights but not being hard on our rig, we do have to drive it home after all. Got an old Datsun that we fixed for the RTT. Works great! Our kids love to go out too.

Hi, I'm Tom and I'm in the Los Angeles area, just steps away from the Angeles National Forest. I've got a 2021 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E that I use mainly for work. I don't have to haul around much but a pickup helps a lot. It's comfortable enough that my wife is eager enough for us to take road trips in. I've had the itch to do some lite overlanding in the last year and think this is the perfect vehicle for us to do it in. Hoping to learn a lot from you all!

Hi there. Hailing from south of Dallas, Texas, from a little town called Midlothian, the home of Chris Kyle.

I've got two Jeeps, a 2000 Wrangler TJ Sahara, and a 2020 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I've never been overlanding, but dipping my toe in soon. I really just drive the Jeeps around the ranch for the most part, but my kids and I are headed for Ouray/Telluride and maybe Moab in the hopes of escaping civilization for a bit. I took the entire month of July off and we'll be spending the whole time away from home. I'm well set up for camping, so we're just going to use ground tents and nothing fancy while we're gone. I've got some nights booked in VRBOs, so the camping won't be for weeks at a time. I have 4 teenagers, 3 of whom are coming.

I just paid for a membership, and I think this might be my first post. I've been watching the YouTube videos for quite some time, and figured this would be a good bunch to have on my side when I start my adventure, clueless.

The only vehicle mods I will have for the trip is a winch, a couple lights, some Rotopax, a couple radios (KG5IED), and a couple interior things to help stash gear away.
Hello Tim (@username), welcome from Georgetown.

Like @Prerunner1982 said, I am your SW Region Member Rep for TX. Along with the other links he provided, there is also a monthly meeting for the Central Texas area. If you are ever in the area, we'd enjoy seeing you there.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hello Mike, welcome to Overland Bound. Mike you should delete your house address on your page, not a good idea to put it out there on the net.

Hi, all! It’s great to finally be joining the community. I live in Hartford, CT. I’ve done a lot of camping over the years but not overlanding. I’ve wanted to start exploring that way for a while and today I acquired a suitable vehicle - a Ford Ranger Tremor. I’m looking forward to the adventures ahead with my new truck!
