Hello there from Alberta Canada, my name is Greg currently I am exploring with my 2008 Jeep Rubicon JKU which I’m switching over to winter exploration at the moment. Glad to be part of the group and look forward meeting new pals cheers

Nice setup Greg! Welcome to the OB community!

 

[FinnXtrek]

Hey everyone! I’m Finn! I’m a native Southern Californian; currently posted in San Diego. I have a ‘19 Subie Xtrek that’s named Meeko. I’ve been camping since before I could walk, but I’m still a novice at overlanding. At the moment, Meeko is still a “ballin on a budget” rig so improvements have been slow, but I finally threw a lift on him and got some 15s for the ATs I’m gonna grab come Black Friday. Here’s an older picture of him, pre-lift! View attachment 214924

Welcome, Finn! You said posted in SD... military?

Thank you! Oh hahaha no, just my millennial slang

Silly millennials.

Agreed, we’re the worst LOL

 

[Otis Porsche]

Hi, my name is Joey and I found this because I was checking out my neighbors overland build of his Subaru Outback.
I’m in Studio City, Ca. I have a 2011 Porsche Cayenne S I have been running trails for years in Angeles Forest and the Mojave desert. Mostly in old 1st gen Durangos. I’m looking forward to building out my Cayenne and hitting the trails

Welcome!
Latest trip for our Cayenne was two weeks in Moab. Have been off-roading our 958 since 2012 from the frozen Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyaktuk to the hot Chihuahuan desert. If you are a PCA member they did an 11 page article in Pano on ours in 2016. Link is to our build and some of what we do:

Hello all,

New to the forum but would love to share my build with you all. So I currently drive a 2019 Toyota Tacoma Sport, it has a three-inch lift and sitting on 33s. I am new to Overlanding but have embraced it head-on, I have been traveling the southwest and camping in my newly built sleeping platform. I have explored Utah, New Mexico, California, and Arizona and I am hoping to add to the list.

Thank you and glad to be part of the community

Hello all. New to the site, I first learned about OB at my first Overland Expo West. Now running a G63 AMG and was able to enjoy its first outing at the Bar 10 Ranch with E 3 Overland folks and TrailRecon. I have added a Front Runner Rack and looking to find new wheels and tires. I am a complete novice and hope to continue to get more experience soon.
Cheers.

Hello , Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me. There isn’t a Director for Canada at the moment, so @Kent R and myself are taking that responsibility.

To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).

Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.

Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.

Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.

Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.

Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.

Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.

Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.

Welcome...looks like a good start!

 

[GBGCR4x4]

Welcome to OB. You’ve been to some great locations. I’m curious which of the places you’ve overlanded has been your favorite to this point. I’d love to make it to New Zealand some day.

Honestly it's hard to say. Comparing them is quite difficult. Costa Rica has come great places, where if you like serious off road experiences, you'll have fun. I've been to the south, Peninsula de Osa, and we went right after the rainy season. We crossed around 3 or 4 rivers with a very high level of water, muddy roads, and such. It was a challenge, I'd even say a bit dangerous, but our vehicles were well equipped. Then, the reward was camping at a beach with nobody else there fr 3 days.

Australia was perhaps the place where I saw the most incredible places. We drove for over 5,000 km from Perth all the way to Cairns, going through the South Coast. It was unbelievable. New Zealand had stunning views and roads.Hard to say!!

 

[4Low_Good_to_Go]

I'm Joe, from Santa Ana, Ca.
This is my 2015 Toyota Tacoma named Blanca. She started life as a TRD Off Road.
If I had to compare my overlanding experience to a t-shirt size, I'd say that my overlanding experience is a "smedium." We've put 12,000 mile on this rig over the last year and she isn't a daily driver. The skid plates, sliders, and wheels show that we've had some serious fun in that time far beyond our local fire roads.

Nice rig, but I'm biased! lol
