Hi everybody! Tony from Rochester, NY here. Just received my emblem. Very excited!

Driving a 2016 JKU which is still stock. That will be changing in a few days. Here is what she looks like today.IMG_0255-2.jpg

Notice the slight ding in the front bumper, tree got in the way.

Hi everyone,

My names steve I'm from San Diego/riverside just joined, I have a 93 4runner with some decent mods, i bought it recently and it came with a overland bound medallion on it already!

Im a novice I guess, been on some decent trips already, the hardest trail I've been on so far was dishpan springs near lake arrowhead, mostly just been to big bear and corral canyon, I'm looking to meet some like minded people to cruise with!

Hello Steve from the Inland Empire...welcome to OB! So the previous owner didn't take the time to remove their emblems or can something like that be transferred. I have heard they are a pain to remove once on a rig. Hope to see ya out on the trails.

Harry and Sarah here from Alabaster Alabama. Our rig is a 1989 M998. We are currently planning our first trip into overlanding into Taledega National Forest. I have done some offroading and we have both been camping but overlanding is completely new to us and we are very excited about this. 20170920_184046_Richtone(HDR).jpg 20170920_184024_Richtone(HDR).jpg

Hey everyone, I'm Chris!

Currently working overseas however my home is in NV while I’m off hitch. I'm a complete novice to the overlanding world although I do use my truck for a lot of trail driving and general offroad fun. Having just moved from NJ I'm looking forward to exploring NV and the west coast. Hopefully, with the help of this community, I’ll gain some great overlanding experiences and learn the ropes! Looking forward to throwing a tent in the bed and meeting some of you on the trail!

Chris


Truck is a 2016 Tacoma

Hi Guys,

Thought I'd best say hello in here. Just got my number through and really stoked to be part of such a community.
I'm Alex and I'm from Hastings on the South Coast of England. Had my LR Discovery 3 (LR3) for nearly 5 years now and always loved long trips in the car and offroading so the two combined together have fuelled my passion for Overlanding.

Was obsessed with the Camel Trophy expeditions since a very young age and love anything with an adventurous spirit. My next overlanding trip is hopefully across from Britain through France and to Spain over the Pyrenees mountains soon, something I've been planning for a couple of years.

Really looking forward to meeting up with some fellow OBers and discussing things on here some more.

Hello everyone, I have been around for a few months but never introduced myself.
I overland out of the Bakersfield CA area (Just north of LA) I travel large distances for trips and you could find me just about anywhere for a run.
My rig is a Yellow 2009 Jeep JKU with Gobi Stealth Rack, Overland Pros Mojave RTT, winch, bumpers and many more mods.
As for experience I come from a primarily rock crawler background and am moving more toward overlanding for very remote camping. (you likely won't find me anywhere you pay to camp)
I am always down for an adventure feel free to drop me a line anytime. I am almost always able to join a weekend trip. Looking forward to meeting many of you at the Mojave rd #2 Rally Point.
