Hey All! Ben here from Tacoma, WA. My rig is a 1990 Toyota Pickup. My wife named her Greta. I am currently attempting to re-gear the differentials, add a lift and 33s. Not a project to take lightly. I typically wheel around Evans Creek near Rainier, Elbe hills and Tahuya. I would love to complete the entire WABDR someday. For now I stay local. My offroad experience is decent but I am in no way an expert.
I am glad to finally be a member.
Welcome from Arizona! :smile:

New to the overland and off-roading community. My wife and I have been backpacking for 30+ yrs and love the outdoors and camping. Getting to the age where multi-day backpacking is more difficult so we purchased a 4Runner ORP last year and love it. Took our 1st overlanding/off-road trip this year to National Parks in TX, NM and southern CO. Definitely planning more trips out West especially the CDT.
We currently live in south-central Michigan (originally from CA) and looking for recommendations in MI. We have camped through out MI, but no experience with overlanding here.

Hi all. Rowan here from Raleigh NC. I’m a novice and my rig is a 2011 Volvo XC70 T6 AWD. Just got lift kit, Bilsteins and more, and rooftop tent just arrived. I’d like to convert my utility trailer to our overland camper. Ah, to dream…!!

Hello All!

Brand new to Vancouver BC I have a 2017 Tacoma TRDsport, I've always been a camper but just until now I have the adult money to start enjoying Overlanding hoping to catch up with a local-or close group to meet new friends! Bonus points if we can fish

Excited to be a part of the community!

Names Cody

Rig is a 2014 Ford Raptor. 208k beautiful miles of travel, pin stripes, and adventures.

Live in wisconsin. Not a whole lot of trails here. But look forward to seeing if there’s possibly something I just haven’t found yet.

Been on multiple trips over the years. However I just started building the raptor last year more towards overlanding. So I’m excited to see what the upcoming travels will be!

Hi everyone. Paul from North Carolina, USA. Just bought a new Jeep Wrangler 4xe And plan to do some upgrades very soon. I've always been into overlanding and anything outdoors. I thought this would be a great way to keep my 10 and 12-year-old sons appreciation for the outdoors. Anything to get them away from their cell phones and computers.

Hey all! Checking back in after a long absence. I sold my Maza CX-5 AWD, which took me on a lot of trips (Mojave, Sierras loop, Susanville/Shasta wagon roads, etc.) and tons of utility and forest roads for work across the western U.S. Just picked up a 2006 Volvo XC70 and starting to kit it out for a break-in 2,500-mile trip next month from San Diego to SLC, Rockies, San Juans and back, boondocking the whole way. Eventually planning a light lift, skid plate upgrade, Geolander A/T GO15s (which I had on the Mazda and really liked) and some creature comforts, but basically stock for this trip while I get used to her and figure out what I need most. Already got my medallion transferred over, though :)

Hi Rowan,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

The XC70 is a nice basis for overlanding. Enjoy!

Hello Everyone!

I’m Will and I’m from Northern Virginia. I drive a 2007 Toyota Sequoia with a handful of basic mods (level, lights, cosmetic). I’m new to overlanding and have yet to really venture out there but I’m hoping to make camp in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests this summer.
