live in Lexington KY. Just started getting my 09 Xterra ready from some Overlanding fun. Sitting on a 2.5 ADO lift and waiting for 33s first of the year. Can't wait to start getting out again. Cheers y'all
Nice whip!…I host a get together every 6 weeks or so called Beers and Gears…I always post my events on the Rally Point on OB1 so look for them in the future…I will be leading a group on the THOR in June, check it out as well…

Hello My name is David, I live in Riverbank CA. I recently registered on this forum.
I have experience in camping, backpacking and off-roading.
I hope to meet new friends that enjoy fly fishing and exploring the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range along HWY 395. I also enjoy the western slope of the Sierra Nevada as it's a relatively short drive for me.
I'm currently driving an Isuzu Trooper, it works well off-road and has plenty of room for my gear. It has a mild lift and slightly oversized tires.
I recently got my ham license and look forward to meeting you on the net.
Hi David
Glad you said hello and welcome. I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Turlock CA there is a meet up on the first Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active.
This is the regular meet up info. @Motomikeca and @beck4u are a great resource to be in touch with!

Hey y’all! My name is Alli and my husband, Justin, and I are just starting out with all this! We have two kids and we want to use this as a getaway to find time for ourselves again.

We are in south MS and Justin’s vehicle that was given to us from his dad is I believe a 1999 4Runner. We can’t wait to start this adventure together and maybe meet some great people along the way.

This is the only pic we have on the 4Runner right now.

Welcome!! That's a GREAT vehicle to start with, bulletproof and capable. Enjoy the process and have fun!

Hey there,

Mike and Jayne here, we live in Joshua Tree Ca.
My rig is a 2021 Rubicon JLU with an Ursa Minor Top, Clayton overland suspension and lots of goodies added.
I have been off roading since I could drive, my first car was a 1966 CJ5 with a 289 V8 I put in from a Mustang. I was part of King County 4x4 Search and rescue up in Seattle and now getting back into off-roading and Overlanding here in the high Desert

Welcome to Overland Bound, Nice looking rig, love the Ursa Minor, have been thinking about potentially going with one of those. I used to belong to King County 4x4 SAR many moons ago, a great organization.
