Good morning folks! New to the forum and overlanding but not new to camping, 4 wheeling or adventure. Born and raised in FL but been around Columbus, OH for almost 10 years. I am in the oil & gas engineering business and travel around the country most every week.

I have a 15 day trip to some Montana Forest Service cabins via a rental Jeep Rubicon scheduled for June.

2022 4Runner Off Road Premium
2 dogs and me (Steve)
Hey Steve, safe travels on your 15 day trip. Sounds like a blast!

Hi everybody! I'm Scott from the Austin, Texas area. I drive a 2015 Rav4 XLE with a sleeping platform and kitchenette. It is 2wd so I am primarily on dirt roads, beaches and highways. My favorite spots to travel to are the Texas gulf beaches and Texas State Parks. I joined OB to meet people who are interested in the outdoors and the stewardship and conservation of our land and trails. I am fairly experienced in overlanding and starting to get my 4 year old involved. I used to be heavily involved in Search and Rescue, outdoor education and now I'm excited to be a part of the OB family and I look forward to many trips with yall!
Hello Scott, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hey Everyone, I'm Nate. I have a '19 Ford Ranger FX4 I'm making into my overlanding rig, who my 5 year old daughter has aptly named "Lyla", and is relentless about it.
I'm based out of Sacramento CA but originally from Calaveras County here in CA. I'm entirely new to the overlanding world, but excited to start exploring! Hopefully I can meet some awesome people here to learn from.
Hello Nate, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hello all,

My name is Ricardo. I'm from Costa Rica, but I'm currently living in Pittsburgh, PA. I recently purchased a 2014 SR5 Toyota 4Runner. I like to call it "FurRunner" since I now use it to take my dogs places and camping. It has no mods yet, but I hope to get it ready for some trails soon. It is a 2WD so I would appreciate your advice on places to go and what mods could help me the most. I'm not planning on doing any crazy trail yet as I'm a novice.

I hope we get a chance to meet... hopefully in the woods!
Hello Ricardo, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hey all,

My name is Noah, long time wheeler, shorter time overlander (2 years or so and counting). Totally didn't know about this huge group and resource node, just randomly popped up on my FB as a group I might want to join.

Don't have too much experience with trail fixes or with complicated recovery, but I'm very experienced in wheeling and wheeling techniques. If you guys run a group (on a trail) and in need of an extra experienced hand give me a hollar.

I am Joshua, from northern Virginia! I am a real novice. I have been an outdoorsmen for years: camping, hiking, mountain biking, boating, etc., so overlanding is the logical next step. I don't have a serious rig yet, but am doing some light overlanding in my stock 2015 Honda Civic; it's fine for general dirt and gravel roads in good weather, even some easy forest roads if I am careful. I pulled out the back seats and installed a sleeping platform from driver's seat into the trunk.

I am working on being able to get a better rig though; I am leaning towards a Nissan Frontier Pro-4X, previous generation, though I am also considering a Subaru Forester if I decide I don't want to do anything too extreme.
Hello Joshua, welcome to the OB family.
