Hi all! I just *finally* got my first 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4. I am in the process of hooking it up with a RTT and some other gear so I can start getting out and exploring...I am beyond excited for this new world and can't wait to learn!

Hello All,

We are excited to join the Overland Bound community.

Location: Reno, NV USA
Rig: first generation Ford Expedition
Experience: moderate. Our rig has taken us on some crazy adventures over the past three years and never let us down. Our longest trip was 8 days to Moab and North Rim of Grand Canyon.
We are hoping to meet some likeminded adventurers to enjoy our new passion with.

Rich and Monica

Hey everyone!
My name is Tim.
Located in Bothell WA
I’ve got a 98 4Runner that’s my baby.
Last year my wife and I did our first real over land trip on the WA BDR and we’re hooked.
We’ve always been into backpacking and camping so this is the obvious next thing for us.
Done a ton of recent upgrades to the rig including new motor, onboard air, roof top tent, and heavy maintenance trying to get it ready for some upcoming adventures
Hello Tim, welcome to the OB family.

Hello,

This is Justin from Buffalo MN. I drive a 2012 Wrangler, too many miles on pavement but some of those heading west. Experience level is novice really, a couple solo/family trips through the Rockies and into desert country. EFRT was our intro and inspiration, looking forward to learning from the OB community!

Always been a big camping and outdoor person. I wouldn't say I'm a newbie, but officially never overlanded before by the strictest definition of the term. I'm a car guy(and motorcycles) and I'm at the point in my life where I have a little extra money & time, so why not? Bought a 2010 Jeep Commander last month and have LOTS of stuff on order for it. Hope to have it all done by end of August and I will be looking for advice from other Commander owners about the best way to mount a RTT among other things. Thanks & Happy to be a part of the Forum!

Hello Everyone! My name is Shawn. I have been in the over-landing community for a few years now. Both my wife and I drive jeeps her's a 2016 JKU and I a 2016 JK. We greatly enjoy camping and trail riding. Over the past 4 years we have travelled down to Padre Island TX Florida panhandle and Ouray Colorado. Diane and I enjoy jeeping and have a number of trips we are planning. One is the arctic circle in 2023. I am currently working on my overl-land trailer build "more to follow on that latter" and have a few problems to workout. Hope to see you out on the trails! We will be at the Tennessee Trail Jam 2021 Located at Loretta Lynn's campground on the 18th - 20th If you are there come by and say HI! 73!View attachment 201602View attachment 201603
