what's up y'all I'm new here. I just got a RTT in the mail so I guess you could say it's getting pretty serious.

Hey everyone,

I’m new to OB and recently moved to Las Vegas from Georgia. I’ve camped and done some mild off-roading for years in different vehicles. I’m currently driving/building a 07’ Range Rover that has been extremely capable for what I do in stock form. Looking to add some slightly larger tires and a better quality roof rack as money permits. I love to disconnect and be self sufficient outdoors, that’s what drew me into this stuff in the first place. Here’s a few pictures of the truck from our last trip. Thanks!

Thank you for the acceptance. I’m an old timer. Meaning I’m old! I’ve been camping and living off grid since I was a kid. Finally got an awesome “Overlander” rig. Can’t wait to participate in some cool times! I’m in S Oregon now.

As long as I have been doing exploring, I can’t believe I didn’t find my way here sooner. ‘21 Gladiator(my second one) seems to be the family favorite for our adventures. Love going west, got married on Black Bear Pass during a 10 day overland trip in Colorado. Looking forward to all the info in this community.

Hello all!

My name is Aqua and I'm excited to join the community! I am currently researching and looking for my first rig, but I have been interested in Overlanding for some years now. I'm happy an Overland Bound video was recommended to me on youtube! This feels like a fantastic community! I cannot wait to get my first rig and hit the trails!

Old backpacker who can't haul 80 lb packs across the miles anymore but still like to explore the back country. I drive a 3/4 ton off-road friendly truck capable of L3. I have 4-wheeled off and on for 40+ years, mostly solo, but would like to explore overlanding and joining kindred spirits.

JUst found this site and all the good info it has. I have been camping/overlanding with my dad and myself for 50+ years. I have built several riggs for overlanding and still have many of them. My current Rigg is a 2022 power wagon but have many older jeeps and Dodge vehicles. some for SUV solo camping and pickups. Rocky mountain region all my life so many great overlanding memories.
