Hi everyone, Justin here. I've had this account for a while but haven't posted before. I am in Yucca Valley, CA and have a moderately modified 2007 FJ Cruiser that I call the Yellow Submarine. I would say I'm fairly experienced, having done many overland trips through CA, AZ, NV, UT, OR and WA over the last 10 years.

Welcome to the adventure! We are in WA. Hope to do some trips soon

Hey guys I am new to the group.
I am in South west England, currently drive a 2007 Navara which I am building for 6 months long traveling. I am not an expert but had a few adventures.

Welcome to the group. It is good to see the international community growing

 

[Haven Ridge Adventures]

G'day folks:

1) Sacramento, CA
2) Just swapped my 08 4Runner for a '23 Ranger FX4
3) XP is somewhere between novice and intermediate.

Been down plenty of remote county/forest/blm roads and dispersed camping, but never organized my own multi-day, multi-camp trips. Now that I'm a new dad, back backing trips are perhaps a few years out, but overlanding has immediate potential. My truck is all stock at the moment, probably will be for some time, but looking to meet some outdoor-minded folks in Sac Valley to hit the Sierras, northern coast, and other areas I don't yet know of. New to California within last couple years.

Appreciate all the guidance and relationships I've yet to build. Best,
Brian

Welcome. I hope to meet more people here

About to head off traveling from Cape Town to Namibia in my 2006 Defender TD5 via Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania -

Keen for tips and to meet fellow travelers!

Welcome. That sounds like fun

Hi,

I'm Jonathan from Fullerton, California.
I currently have a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe. No mods and planning on keeping it mostly stock and just have accessories. I feel like the SUV is already more than what I'm brave enough for. I just have ditch pods and rock lights (probably more use as camping lights). One day, I would like to replace my Yakima Megawarrior roof basket with a Gobi Stealth. Partial to the mesh/basket types. But my ideal build will be more for camping/dwelling and trailing rather than heavy wheeling. I mainly look forward to adventures and opening up the world for my little one as he grows up.

My experience includes just checking out Mojave backroads and multiple trips up to my local peak, Santiago Peak, via system of fire roads and some "bonus credit" areas. I used to go up Maple Springs Rd and Main Divide multiple times in a 2004 LX470 (which we've since sold...big mistake).

Found out about Overland Bound because of Michael's YouTube videos and I got my Gazelle tent and gazebos because of his reviews. I look forward to this community's suggestions for gear, cool places, tips, and making friends.

Some pictures of my ride:

Welcome! Hey, stick with what works for you.
I have many years of experience 4 wheeling, so my setup is a little different, but it works for me

1) DFW area, Texas.
2) 1993 Ford Bronco XLT - 5.8L V8
3) Zero Overlanding experience, plenty of primitive camping and quite a bit of off roading background as well.

Welcome, and hey, start with what you have. See what works, what doesn't and modify from there

Hi All

I’m Ken from Oregon, I just got into Overlanding and I can’t wait to explore some trails. Hit me up if you know of some cool stuff I should checkout in Oregon. Oh and I have a Bronco.

Ken

Welcome!
The area around Mount Hood is really nice. Also look into the Oregon BDR (Backcountry Discovery Route). We just made a trip up there and posted the videos on our YT channel. It was a great trip!

Don’t know how I haven’t found this group earlier but there’s no time like the present!

Flying straight and level from West Texas in a 2018 Land Cruiser.
Most of my past overlanding has been done on a motorcycle but I am transitioning to the 4 wheel mode of travel.

Welcome!
Another LC guy!
We are building an 80 right now
