Hey everyone, I’m Jay.

I live in northern IL and work in WI, I’m just FINALLY getting into overlanding. I’m former Army and I’ve always been into survivalism, so overlanding/boondocking/camping/whatever you wanna call it, is right up my alley. I’m also looking forward to finding some cool lesser known locations, and getting outdoors to hike and fish, etc.
I work a corporate job which takes up a lot of time and energy, so my goal is to unplug and unwind and enjoy nature, meet cool people, and have great experiences. That’s what life is all about after all!
Anyway, I’m in the process of purchasing a 2010 Frontier and plan to go with a rooftop tent on top of a low rack (13”). I plan to lift it a couple inches and put some tires on it that are more suitable for offroad (but still great for cross country trips).
I’m excited to learn all about overlanding, survivalism, and the outdoors. This is something I’ve wanted to make a hobby/lifestyle for a long time and I’m finally able to start so I’m very excited! Hair to be here with everyone!

New member, I’m Michael, just bought a 2007 FJ and looking to get into over-landing more. Looks like the rig was previously owned by member #17212 I’d love to meet who owned it and see what mods they did and what fun they had with it. Thanks!View attachment 285040

New Members,

Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!

A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)

We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!

In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:

From @administrator

• Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
• We will not further define "overlanding".
• "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
• You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
• Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
• Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
• Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
• It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
• We do not care about make or model.
• We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
• We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
• Humility.
• We respect, fear, and protect nature.
• "I don't know" is a great answer.
• We don’t brag about exploits.
• We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
• We engage in the very smallest of interactions.
