Hey Everyone,

Newbiee to the Overlanding community.

I'm Marcus, Irish, living in the US for 7 years now. I currently own a 2016 Ford F150 Crew Cab FX4 (5.5') and the only modification I've made is add a Decked drawer system to the bed for camping equipment. I've also ordered a Leitner Forged rack for the bed which is on it's way.

I live in Berkeley California, have two young kids and would love to go on a basic ride to figure this stuff out.

My other passion is Adventure Motorcycle riding, but I have a weaker back these days, so riding around in the truck might be better.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

:)

New to Overland Bound from Bakersfield CA and looking to travel a lot to out of the way places here in the west. Particularly love camping the Eastern Sierra along 395. I am a member of the "Herd," and just picked up my Expedition in February. All the best and how to see some of you soon.

The 4xe tows the Expedition sweet. In hybrid mode, the 4xe generates 375 HP. There is always battery in reserve for added power. I've yet to take the rig off-road, but don't expect that I will have any power problems.

Hopefully we can see you in the desert sometime and check it out.

Hi guys and gals of the Overland Bound universe!

So we are Tuk South, a group of 4 lads bringing three wheeler tuk tuks to the overland world. We are currently trying to wrestle our three wheeled friends from Kenya to Cape Town in South Africa. I cant wait to introduce ourselves

_DSC9116 (1).JPGTuk Kitchen.jpgIMG_5728.JPG
2) So we are Africa based at the moment. Kenya is home but we are half way through our journey to the southern tip of the continent, so i guess Malawi works
3) Rig - Lets bring out the big guns for this one - Piaggio Ape auto DX and Piaggio Ape Extra DX - 8.5hp of pure diesel power
4) Overlanding experience is pretty good, but nothing really prepares you for offroading in a tuk tuk

Hello,

New member here to a degree I didn't introduce myself and have been lurking in the forum a bit.

I am located in KC, Kansas and enjoy getting out anywhere I can to explore. Unfortunately it is quite a long drive to get to public lands from where I live, but it's great adventure regardless.
