Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Kent R]

Good morning! Wanted to finally introduce myself. Long time lurker. As we get older been dreaming about taking our trucks and touring the US and getting out of NJ. Looking forward to getting tons of ideas of this site as well as several others.
1) Pictures below
The Green Gladiator is mine and the white 2 dr JL is my wife’s, the Blue 392 is my sisters (we are not taking her with us touring, lol)
2) Location (General area is fine)
Northeast in NJ
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
2018 Jeep JL 2 door - Trailing vehicle
2020 Jeep Gladiator + M1102 trailer This will be built into a camper trailer.
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
We are both Novice overlanders, avid camper and Hiker, some light off roading.
5) Plans - The TAT, Easter Jeep Safari 2024 and camping using the trailer, when completed, rather than ground tents

Hi! Glad to be here. My name is Dante but I'm mostly known as Subway (no funny story behind the nickname unfortunately). I'm living in and in college in Argentina. I joined this forum because me and two friends are commited to driving the Pan American Highway from December 2024 to February 2025. Two of us have plenty highway experience as passengers and all of us have limited experience as drivers. We will be working on the latter before our departure driving inside Argentina, which has incredible sites to visit and I encourage anyone with the means to visit to do so. Evidently as students our budget is severly limited and is a deciding factor in our planning. We have no idea what we are doing and thus would love to hear stories and any tips from other overlanders.
Kindly,
Dante
(Unfortunately don't have a rig yet)

Welcome To Overland Bound Dante
Did into the forum and you will find lots of information about the Pan American, there are several members who are traveling or planing on traveling in South America. @Hourless Life is one of them.

Hello, Tyler from Delaware Ohio, here. I have a stock Canyon AT4 but have an eye on kitting it out for overlanding in the future.

Hello,

I’m Corey, located in Michigan. I’ve been camping and road tripping for years and recently discovered Overlanding. Interested in learning more and going on some adventure.

I’ve got a stock Subaru Forester, but I’ve also used a VW Jetta, a Chevy Silverado, and a Yukon in the past. I had the advantage of getting to learn off-road driving from a longtime Colorado resident who took me on some adventures out there several years ago.

Greetings Corey, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hi Christer,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

I am one of your OB Local Experts in Europe. A good local contact in your area is also @Bengt N .

Look around here in the forums and you will find plenty of good information around overlanding. For beginners the Beginner Q&A is helpful and all the other Q&As also.

There are quite some members in Europe. We have some meetups planned for this year and this in different regions. Have a look at the Rally Points, there you can filter by OB regions, Sweden belongs to Scandinavia Region. And if you have fun organizing an event yourself, go for it, we are always happy about it.

Also check out the Europe subforums. There you will find a lot about overlanding in Europe and some active members from Europe. You can also have a look at the OB Map, we have already collected many POIs for Europe and there are more and more.

If you have any questions or need help, please get in touch, I'm happy to help.

Greetings from Germany,

Bjoern
