Hi everyone, I'm Jüri
Location Finland
I drive Land Cruiser HDJ80
Moderate experience
Hi Jüri,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

The mighty 80 series is a great rig. Enjoy.

You will find plenty of useful information regarding overlanding here. We have also several members in Finland and other Scandinavian countries. Just check out the OB map and get in touch with then if you like. Also take a look at the Rally Points for upcoming meetups in Europe and join them if you like. There is an overlanding expo in Sweden soon, maybe that is worth a trip for you?! @Bengt N can give you more infos about that event.

If you have any questions just ask. I am happy to help.

Greetings from Germany
Bjoern

Hi All,

Location: I'm from upstate/western New York, USA
Rig: I'm currently working on a mild buildup of a 2022 F150. The truck is my daily driver, family hauler and mobile office and the build is going to have to take all of that into account.
Experience: From my late teens through early 30s I traveled a lot as a lumberjack competitor. I camped out of the back of my 1986 Chevy S-10 with a cap and homemade sleeping platform. Also used a pop-up camper, motorcycles, tents, couches, floors, etc. Many great people and experiences along the way. Looking forward to similar adventures and experiences with this truck.

Glad to have found the community!

-Kevin

Greetings Kevin, welcome to Overland Bound!
Thank you! I have a few family and friends in your area (Seattle, Snoqualmie, North Bend). Hoping to get to the area at some point to travel and catch up with family/friends. The closest I've been is Northern California/Redwoods.
