Hello Everyone! My name is Hunter, out here in sunny San Diego! Use to camp as a boy scout growing up and just purchased a new TRD PRO 4-Runner.

Hello Hunter, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hello, hailing from Salem, or and my gf and I started working on doing overlanding at least once a month for now and extending our trips and distances as I can afford. I have done dispersed camping from time to time within the last 20ish years but want to explore more. The most extreme thing we have done so far is actually using the gambler 500 as an overland test of sorts and my gf is wanting to do more now when we can afford (mainly it's fuel in a thirsty Toyota sequoia).

Hello Jason, welcome to Overland Bound.

Love off-roading but really looking to get into overlanding. I’m using a 04 Silverado 1500HD. Planing a trip to Land Between the Lakes, and later Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway Ky.

Hello!!! I'm new here! My wife and I are from tucson, AZ and we drive a well equipped 1970 Toyota FJ-40. We've 4-wheeled for years in South West Colorado. We're very interested in expanding day trips into longer excursions. We may be looking for an LX-470 to have a bit more room...

Hello everyone!

Not really all that new to off road driving, however; I am relatively new to overlanding. I got started in 2015 with a 2015 Jeep and ended up trading because of a lot of mechanical issues. I learned so valuable lessons building the JKU and took those lessons and applied them to my current Jeep JLU.

I have a 2018 JLU Sahara on an AEV 2.5 lift, 35x12.5x17, steel bumpers, 10k lb winch (synthetic) enough light to be considered a second star (I’m a night shifter, so I wheel a lot at night) and a Garvin Expedition Rack.

I’ve been to MOAB and wheeled Poison Spider Mesa, Crystal Geyser, Hell’s Revenge, Fins and Things and Top of the World. All in the JK. Next trip to MOAB is planned June 2022 in the new JLU with the 2.0 Turbo eTorque.

I do not run a RTT, but I am running a two person Australian SWAG ground tent. Learning how to pack for longer trips, but haven’t ventured past two days off grid.

I’m in Virginia, so off grid wheeling is scarce, so I have to plan trips out of state.

Looking forward to meeting new people and learning new things, while sharing what I’ve learned!

Greetings, everyone! I'm Brian from Mohave county, Arizona! I haven't done any overlanding yet, but I recently acquired a 2002 M1123 and I'm fixing it up with the general plan being to make it an overland vehicle that remains somewhat true to it's military history. My only inhibiting factors at this point are time and money to make it how I truly want, so this will be a long term project vehicle for me!

Welcome to Overland Bound Brian
"Inhibiting factors Time ad Money." You got that one right! ;-)

Good morning all,

New member from St. Louis Missouri. I drive a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser. Still relatively new to Overlanding, however my wife and I have been camping for years and doing smaller trips.

Still learning the ropes of the website, however am not new to forums so it's all feeling pretty familiar.

Thank you.

Greetings from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. New to Overlanding but anxious to get deep into it, at least within the next several months. I'm a retired businessman, with hobbies that include recreational tree climbing, nature photography and family appreciation. My rig has been a 2001 Toyota Sequoia, but I am now on the verge of dropping the hammer for both an F150 Hybrid or Lightening, and an Overland Mission Summit camper trailer. I can't think of anything more cutting edge. My research suggest that these are both currently at the top of the game and more readily available than anything that might offer comparable options, and be available from a fair and reputable mfg/dealer. Being all electric, via solar, wind and hydro is my goal, but the extended range from a hybrid vehicle seems a lot more overland friendly.

If anyone is going through this same type of beginning mindset, please share your insights.

OK gang, I'll bite. I'm an old "Jarhead" that has spent most of his adult life abroad for the past fifty years operating in one "shi##y" place or another. I'm used to being "expeditionary," however I no longer feel inclined to practice being miserable. I'm getting ready to again go expeditionary so I joined this forum.

Hello Charles, welcome to the OB family and thank you for your service.
