Hi guys, I'm in Western NC. We specify the western part because it is the part with mountains and is much different than the rest of the state in many ways. If you have heard of Asheville, NC, or the Smokey Mountain National Park, you get the idea. I have a 1st Gen Tacoma 4x4 with a high-top camper cover and usually do multi-day to a week or so trips. Between here, SC, GA and TN, we have access to many National Forests, so that's my thing. Trout fishing or just riding. Retired and free and living life to the fullest. The Georgia Traverse is a great place to spend a week or so and not too far from here.

Greetings from Lansing, Michigan
My name is Josh Heusinkveld, nickname Redbeard or Sasquatch, and OB #31607
I looking forward to learning a lot of new stuff to understanding more about overlanding along with many other things to learn here and on the app well.
I drive a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara name Sasquatch with over 185k miles for the past two years and just stock at moment. I will have some modifications down the road to lift the suspension with 35" tires, and the list is too long to type here.

Hi Jim,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

I like those Delicas L400. That is a really great base for an overlanding rig I think. Decent space inside, good offroad capabilities and still a reasonable size for traveling. Unfortunately, the L400 4x4 was never sold in Europe, but we have still some of the previous L300 4x4 on the roads here which are also awesome. Enjoy.

Cheers,
Bjoern

Hey everyone!

I've been a long time lurker but finally jumped in to drink the Kool-aide! I've had a couple rigs before this one, but this one is probably going to be my favorite due to it's capabilities out of the box and also being the one of the first to outfit it the way I'm planning to. Currently first in line for a new design to the market roof rack to support my CVT Shasta tent, and newly purchased OVS 270 awning (which I purchased months ago based on the feedback I read here), in addition to all of my other gear that is not so vehicle specific. I should have my roof rack by next week, so as soon as I get a couple free hours to mount it along with the tent and awning I will share some more pictures. I also look forward to the feedback from all the great experience here, and most importantly joining some of you on some trips soon!

I included a picture of my Bronco below, but also a few of what my day job looks like and my background in overlanding.

2) Metro Detroit
3) 2021 Ford Bronco 4DR First Edition
4)4 years in a passenger vehicle, 6+ in a RV since i'm in the industry
