Hello everyone, glad to be here I live in NC. I drive a 2019 Toyota Tacoma and 2004 BMW 1150 GSA. I love exploring in all sorts of vehicles. I started my fascination with overlanding back in the 80’s and 90’s when I lived in Vermont and lived close to Rovers North and saw a 109 station wagon and wanted a Dormobile. My first 4x4 was a 1977 FJ40 with a Chevy 350 I built with my good friend in high school in the 90’s. I am slowly building my tacoma to fit my needs overlanding and recreating. I look forward to gaining insight and inspiration from others in the community . Thanks for having me

Hello everyone, Live in Mesa AZ,
My interest in overlanding started in 2018, watched and read a lot of information,
Took my a while to think this through, before I got started,
I felt it was important to know exactly what my version of overlanding would look like.
I am in no way rich enough to be spending money hand over fist,
So I really do not want to climb over rocks that over a 12-16 , I will domild/ low water crossing, 4 season, , three days to a week at a time, Simple ,minimumlest (?).
I planning at some point going to explore the country east to west, north to south, Canada ,
I wanted a vehicle that is comfortable, as most likely 80% Pavement/20 dirt.
Went for a ride on dire and pavement in a Jeep, (sorry mean no disrespect) Rattled to much for me.
I wanted a Bronco, but at the time to new, ( best friend just retired from Ford ,Engineer, Wait time was also an issue) I am that guy that tries to buy American , I bought a 2020 Ford Ranger FX4
I like the trail management system, Great for newbies, the truck is amazing , every time out it impresses me more, it also has impressed s few Toy and Jeep guys.
Got a Yakima rack, and low end Smitty Built RTT, and a Yakima bed extender for my kayaks .
It needs a suspension leveling kit and a little bigger tires, but it marked no sense to upgrade at this time as why not put 20-30 k before I upgrade, no need to hurry,and as it turns out , I have done some technical trails, it did most everything the Jeep did except one portion .
I have since have decided to go in a different direction, RTT is no longer my thing, I am looking at a tear drop or a slide in truck camper?
I have done trips to Patagonia Mnts, White Mountians, Tonto NF, Flag Staff,
Bartlett Lake, Rosevelt Lake , Payson, Page/Utah, Lake Mead boulders city, and and then up to Tahoe ,
I will be retiring so I want to do a 30 day trip
Greetings Norm, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hello , Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. @beyondthepavement is your closest member representative.

To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).

Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.

Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.

Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.

Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.

Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.

Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.

Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.

Mike Rose
Northwest Director
