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.
Hi there,

How do I publish a new post on the site?

Hi y'all -

Greetings from New Orleans! I'm a novice overlander, BUT experienced on my own two legs in the backcountry and living on the road out of my 2000 4Runner. I just got a 2010 Toyota Tundra TRD Offroad 4x4 because I felt the need to get further out there. No upgrades yet, but it easily handled the River Road in Big Bend this past week. Named her "Solis" after her first campsite. Looking forward to being part of this community and contributing any way that I can.

Cheers!
Alex

Hello everyone! I have been offroading since I could drive and overlanding before I knew it had a name. I was inspired by the camel trophy and Owned a 95 discovery for a short time. I am married and have 3 boys that love every minute we spend in the outdoors. We have an 03 z71 suburban for all our gear and has done great so far. Plans for building are in the works. It is all stock as of now but fairly capable for being so big. Thanks!

Rig: 2017 taco sport 4x4 dcsb
Experience: zilch, nada, none

Hi all,
My name is Gerald, and this is my first rodeo. Moved out of the fast lane and sold my 2004 audi a4 so i could slow things down and start new adventures with my wife and 2yo son, exploring the great outdoor. This is all new to me, so pardon my noobish questions in advance. I’ll try to do my research in advance. :)
