Hey guys,

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Alex and I live just north of Columbus OH. I just picked up a 1997 80 Series Land Cruiser that I am converting into an Overlanding rig. I used to do offroading in college in a 2008 Nissan Frontier but it has been a while. I would put myself somewhere between novice and advanced since Overlanding is new to me and offroading is very common. I am excited to be in the group and looking forward to getting to know you guys.

Hi from northwestern suburbs of Chicago.

I recently purchased a 2013 Lexus GX460 with the hopes to build it out for overlanding. I realize there’s not too many groups or opportunities around the Chicagoland area but am hoping the community grows in the region so I can learn from those with way more experience than I have, which is none outside of camping .

Location - San Jose Ca

Rig - 2021 TOYOTA TACOMA TRD OFF ROAD

EXPERIENCE - Very new

Why I want to overland? I grew up hunting and fishing and camping my whole life and I think it would be amazing to go to places and see things not a lot of people get to see.

Hello, my name is Nikolay. I live in Pleasanton, CA.
My wife (Katrin) and I have visited East Bay Monthly meetup today, and we've enjoyed meeting members of Overland Bound there.
We like all kind of campings (car camping, backpacking, boat-in camping, etc...)
We have 2016 4runner, and would love to join an overland trip soon.

Experience: Intermediate. Lots of tent and RV camping as a kid. Lots of "Army camping." Had a several year-long rock crawling phase with a couple of Wranglers. Now wanting to get back into camping, introduce my young kids to camping, and take our camping adventures to the next level. I've watched Michael's Overland Bound YouTube channel for awhile. Excellent content. Happy to be here.
