Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Chadlyb]

Hi everyone

I may have started ass backwards on other threads without even introducing myself haha better late than never.

Hi I joined two days ago and upgraded my membership last night.. at work as I noticed this site/group has a lot of potential.
I drive a 2010 Toyota Tacoma trd sport v6, so far I got Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks ready, I will be installing an old man emu HD leafs with a 2" lift and lifting the front by 2"(diff drop included) as well, as I want to keep the kant.
I'm used to camping and the minimalist approach and I feel really drawn to the idea of overlanding. I'm here to find great people, great friends and learn.

Cheers all

Hello and welcome to the OB crew..glad to add another Toy to the group...look forward to seeing your build and adventures

G'Day all,

Hayden from RI in NE.
Experience is minimal when it comes to overland but keen to get out there.
My rig is in the infancy of mods but moving quickly.
2017 Toyota Tacoma double cab long bed TRD Sport.

Right now it only has Cap, Bedslide (work vehicle too), and some Rigid Lights.
Having a custom aluminum rack made in NC that will hold roof top tent (still deciding on brand. so many to choose from) , lights, along with some of my other hobbies. Planning on doing a cross country trip after the new year so hoping to time it for a rally out west.

If any other New Englanders are interested in Meeting up and Talking trucks and mods then PM me. Im based in RI.

P.S. Just got my Emblems in the mail and once it stops raining then I'll install and post pics!

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.

Hello!
New member 9040 here.
Im Rick, and my overland crew includes my Wife Marsha, our boy Josh, and Wesson, our dog.
Ive been offroading most of my life, but only got into overlanding in the last four or so. We had a 2014 rubicon that was outfitted pretty nicely, but got rid of it to take another foray into my lifelong racing addiction. But the draw to the outdoors and discovering new places is just too much.
The race car is on its way out to soon be replaced by a Ram Power Wagon.
We look forward to spending as much time as we can learning and exploring. And to meeting more like minded people.
Thanks for having us!!

Hi Rick and welcome to OB! Nice rig! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Hayden from RI in NE.

My rig is in the infancy of mods but moving quickly.
2017 Toyota Tacoma double cab long bed TRD Sport.

Got my emblems on today! I’m a bit of a stickler for symmetry.

Do you mind letting me know how much did that canopy cost you?

Current Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK
Previous Vehicle: Way too many to list!!

Why Overlanding?: I've been a hiker and camper for years and I am ready to combine my love of cars and camping. Probably stick to tent camping for a while, unless I really like the new set up IamJake puts together and decide to copy it!
