Howdy howdy...

JB here, aka "The Overlandinger", from the N/W Arizona region where I am currently preparing my rig for an extended 'live-in' project, which will be shared via youtube vlog's, as I traverse my way throughout the S/W State's. The 2004 Disco II is the platform which has a slight lift, 33" M/T on 16" alloy rim's, with a full roof rack which has forward and rear facing LED lighting...more to come as the project continues to develop.

I'm super excited about becoming a new member of the Overland Bound Community-(OB #6120) and I'm looking forward to tagging along on the next adventure.

All is well which ends with a smile :)

Greetings from NorCal here- Pacifica to be exact.

Got a 2015 Tacoma DCLB 4x4 - second Tacoma, but first one I am really taking to the dirt. Pretty new to overlanding per say, but spent plenty of time in the woods backpacking...

Heres a shot from Carizzo plains earlier this spring - where the bug fully bit. Looking to get out in Stanislaus NF this weekend and do some exploring.

new to the site, not to the scene...heard great things about the group and figured it's time to join!

cheers from Colorado! we have a 2006 Tacoma TRD Off-Road and 2007 FJ Cruiser Special Edition in our fleet of off-road rigs...

both the Tacoma and the FJC have seen some time featured in TCT Magazine over the years, http://tctmagazine.net . Currently I work as a senior editor with the magazine and the FJ Cruiser was the original vehicle that started FJC Magazine!

been a great journey that we've been through so far with these trucks in our lives and always look forward to every new adventure!

not new to general camping, or off road cycle racing, but between my wife and doctor suggesting I increase hobbies for stress relief we decided to try some form of overlanding or off road truck camping so I'm finishing the last 20 percent of a 6x6 deuce camper. its not normal, it's large in comparison to other rigs, and it may not be as useful in serious off roading, but my 1937 hotrod won't go far in the dirt. I'm not looking to go hard core rock crawling or deep into unbroken area's yet, so we'll see. we're in west central Wisconsin not far from lacrosse in farm country.

I just joined. I do not have a rig, but looking to get started soon! I was delighted to find out that people overland. I'm going to do it. I am in Fayetteville, NC. I have everything to learn! I hope to do some driving classes this year while I get a rig to work with!

Start out simple! You don't have to have everything to start! Get a car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle or wagon! If it has wheels, you can overland with it!

This is a beautiful rig! Do you have a youtube channel set up already? I'd love to follow along. I'm down in Tucson, feel free to hit me up if your adventure takes you near here. Come say "Hi" in the Arizona Overlanders thread!

Oh yeah, and welcome to the OB family!

Hey Fellas!

New member here! Located outside of the Pittsburgh, PA area.
2004 Subaru Forester 2.5XT

Experience overlanding/offroading would be a little more than Novice at this point(I'm a huge Rally Car/Race Fan!)

Excited to be a part of yet another forum and community, I hope to gain some friends and good info here! Already watched ALOT of the OB videos on YouTube (especially fozroamers). Seems like a great community!

Hello everyone,
New member 5966 from Ontario, Canada. Just got my badge in the mail and I'm looking forward to meeting other members on the trails. Most of the folks around here just want to go play in the mud for a few hours and finding people interested in getting into more remote places for multiple days is an exciting prospect. Most of my vehicle based trips have been solo with one rig. I've learned the hard way that going alone can be a disaster.
I've been building my 2013 Rubicon rig for 3 years now, adding parts and pieces (and considerable weight!) each season. It's probably time to stop but I think I have a problem. I've always loved the outdoors and have spent most of my adult leisure time camping, hiking, canoeing, snowshoeing or planning my next trip.
Happy trails and RIDE ON.

IMG_4211.jpg IMG_5744.JPG Hello all. My name is Steve and I'm definitely glad I found this site! Always been a Jeep person. Love the outdoors. Anything outdoors is better than being inside.
Looking to gather more knowledge on making my 2 door work for small, weekend overlanding (outing) trips. Love to camp, hike, fish, etc.

2009 Wrangler
2.5" Teraflex with 285/75/16's
Thrilled with my two door! Wife wants 4 door but I cant get away from 2 doors!

Hoping to gather some great info here to enhance the outdoor, vehicle experience.
Currently looking to find info on the most recommended roof rack for a 2 door. Wanting something that fits close to the Jeep, something like the Gobi or Kargo Master Safari rack. Want to take my time and not make a regrettable purchase!

Hello, this is a joint account with me, Matt, and my gf, Jamie. Here is our 2000 Ford E-350 7.3 diesel, Quigley conversion adventure mobile, named Vandal. We bought it in Virginia a couple months back and have loved it so far. We are currently located in Michigan and are slowly paying off debts and getting the van ready to live out of it 100%. It has a roof rack with ladder, 2-100 watt solar panels, ARB awning, Truck Lite LED headlights, and35x12.5x16 Mickey Thompson MTZs. The interior is partially done, has flooring, and a couple small cabinets with a fridge. Everything will eventually be redone when we have the time and funding. The feedback driving something like this, you make friends everywhere. We are very novice to overlanding and can't wait to make some friends and go on some adventures.
