Hello fellow enthusiasts!
I’m in the Phoenix metro area and run a 2001 4Runner that I bought new. It’s built to handle the AZ trails.
I’m intermediate at best and love new adventures and challenges! Looking forward to using this platform to connect with others in the area and experience some new spots, locally and out of area.
Welcome aboard to the OB community from AZ from Illinois. Years ago, I used to live in Chandler and had a FJ40 built for rock crawling. Loved the area and am glad you are enjoying the adventures that area provides.

Hey there,

Have you ever been on a road trip….just driving and you notice a small dirt road that disappears way out in the distance…….and wonder “where does that go”.…..but then keep driving to your destination? Well, I want to make that turn and start taking these roads, start exploring to places I haven’t been.

Name is Paul, beginner in overlanding, the trail to Laurel Lake, Mammoth area, is about my speed for now. I love Alabama Hills and anything else up the 395 from Lone Pine to Mammoth. Wanting to go to Death Valley and start exploring trails all over south west Utah. Currently live in SoCal but will be relocating to Southwest Utah next year.

Vehicle is a 2015 GMC 2500HD 4X4 Duramax. 5 inch lift on 35s currently with just some basic light mods and recovery gear. Next step is Fab4 bumper so I can install a nice winch and some additional cube lights. I have a motor sports background and comfortable working on DIY installs.

When I was younger, I hiked across the Western US for years, climbed Mt Rainer, Mt Whitney 3X, etc - but today I am more into quad riding, kayaking, mountain biking and photography.

I joined here as I hope to learn on where to go, avoid mistakes, and see what mods work, what is necessary, nice to have, and what really isn’t, based on real world experience from those who are much more experienced than I.

Photography is one of my hobbies, and I like being able to get out in the middle of nowhere and do some Astrophotography of the night sky. The darker the area, the better. I literally could post pictures for weeks but will restrain myself to these few:

Hello Community!

The build has started of my 1997 Land Cruiser Prado 3L TurboDiesel. Can't wait to explore more and wider areas
Hi Pierre-Nicolas and welcome to Overland Bound!

That is a nice J9 Prado. Great basis for an overlanding rig.

Hey Paul,

Welcome to the Crew. I think I wonder what's down that dirt road monthly. I am pretty sure that we all need to make more time to wander.

Great photos, Overlanding and Photography are great companion hobbies!

Hello Paul, welcome to Overland Bound. Just wondering what camera/lens aperture/shutter speed you used for the night sky shot.
