Welcome to the group Ruben. Sounds like you have an awesome adventure and build planned. May your adventures be many!
Hello all!
I have some pictures I'll share when I am able to do so, in the process of building/maintaining a camp/tow/recreational all around go anywhere rig.
I'm located in Washington state in the Pacific Northwest, 18 miles east of Seattle in Woodinville.
I have a 2006 Toyota Sequoia SR5 that I've been modding to get me where I want to go :)
I don't have a lot of overlanding experience but I'm out on the trails with my UTV's with my son and we are exploring all Washington and Oregon has to offer from sand dunes to forest! Having a blast!

Aloha all!
Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Rig: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
Overlanding Experience Background: Completely new! Just learned about Overland Bound from Jake Wettern's Youtube channel (IAmJake). And my wife and I just got our Jeeps earlier this year. I'm really looking forward to learning more about overloading and getting out there and experiencing the great outdoors in a different way than I ever have!
Cheers!

Thanks Jake. Sorry to hear about your dad... Love your vlogs. Appleton is a great town. I've been there a few times. I work for Gordon Food Service. We have a store there.
Can't wait to see you back with Jade. Keep inspiring us all to live life and enjoy nature.
I appreciate your condolences - means a lot! I haven't announced this yet, but I am returning to Jade the first week of September - so the road trip continues and so do the frequent vlogs! Thank you for your support and for following my journey!

Hello fellow Overlanding Gear Crushers.
Been all over the world thanks to my time serving my country in the United States Air Force. Fell 150ft off a mountain and broke my back during my service and received and Honorable Discharge with Medical.
I now live in Davison, Michigan after a couple of divorces and my latest marriage (3rd time is a charm so they say) with two boys (7 & 13).
Still working on (but fully functional) 1991 Chevy K5 Blazer (last year they made them with a removable top).
As far as my experience overloading I'm a Novice. I fell in love with overloading by watching Overland Expedition on Youtube and was like.. I want to do that. Of course once you get to know me you'll learn I like to be the black sheep, doing something different than everyone else. It typically more difficult since vendors don't really support my choices as much as the common choice but I find I'm more proud of my vehicle when its all said and done than if I got a more supported choice.
I won't get into the specifics of my build so far but it is available to review on Gear Crushers where I have a lot of step by steps on the build.
Look forward to my time with Overland Bound and hopes to learn a few things.
