Hello from Texas. I'm between Cleburne & Whitney. Totally newbie here. Grew up camping on Padre Island, my heart & soul is longing to get back into nature.
I have a 2006 Tj Ulim(LJ), stock, wrapped for protection from farm life.
Hi Alyce and welcome to Overland Bound!

Hello everyone, just found you guys. I have a mostly stock 86 CJ7 that I am going to start camping in.
Hi Mark,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

Wow, CJ7, that was always my dream rig when I was a teenager. That is a awesome rig. And yours is in outstanding condition as I can see from the picture. Have you restored it?

Greetings from Europe,
Bjoern

Hey everyone, my name is Jared and I’m new to this app, but also new to the Jeep world and off-roading/overlanding.

I live in the East SF Bay Area of California with my amazing wife and two daughters, and our two dogs.

I drive a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and just bought it a few months ago. I’ve never owned a 4x4 before but am loving learning and driving and adventuring in it.

I'm a new guy, have done some trips out there, enjoy going there..... in fact my wife tells me I never take the same route twice or so.
I'm also an old guy, but who is counting?
Live in the Western side of VA close the the Shenandoah National Park and others.
Busy most weekends though, so do my exploring during the week. Also have a Ham license (for many years) and do some POTA trips.
