Hello All,

I'm in the Pennsylvania / New Jersey area and have been itching to start exploring in my truck. I wouldn't call it a rig yet, but I drive a 2012 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X. It's my daily driver so I've been hesitant to start investing in upgrades that'll downgrade the highway drive-ability... Too much commuting still...
I'm a novice on this journey so far. I'm from the Pine Barrens, and have done a bit of wheeling at Rausch Creek in PA. So far I've been reluctant to stray too far off the beaten path; I've just got no backup. So when I found you guys, I thought I'd take a look and see if I could join in any rides.

Hey there!

I just recently discovered the overlanding community after talking with a friend. I had just recently purchased a 2017 Tacoma and he mentioned overlanding to me. I did some research and found so much about it. It really caught my attention due to my love of the outdoors that I gained while achieving my Eagle Scout.

I am located outside of Sacramento, CA in Rancho Cordova, CA.

My truck is a Grey 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad

My overlanding experience from a vehicle perspective is novice, but my outdoors and survival experience is intermediate. I am always looking for suggestions and tips!

I am excited to begin my overlanding journey!

Hi! I am Liz. My ride is a MINI Cooper S convertible, but my sisters is a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. My experience off road has been mostly as a passenger.
I am here because I will be her navigator at Redclay Rally in June 2018. I am hoping to find some interesting forums about the subject of rallys and navigating so I can learn more of what to expect. I've never done anything like this, so I am just starting to wonder "what have I gotten myself into?".
Any suggestions of where to start would be appreciated!

Howdy, Captainskidmark74 here, not new to camping , just haven't done it as much as I would like to, but plan on changing that soon.

Only pic I can find of the Taco at present .... just happens to be a red light camera photo op....

1. Western suburb of Chicago (i know pretty lame, huh)
2. '15 Taco TRD Sport DCLB
3. Most of my offroading experience has been on 2 wheels. Currently the bed of the truck serves as my shelter when camping. This past summer I did some dirt biking in western CO, planning on going back out there next summer with the Taco and explore, hoping to use this sight to find some great places to camp out.

Take care,
Scott

View attachment 41027 Hey gang! New member from Fort Worth, Tx. After years of tent camping in numbered slots we purchased a Jeep Wrangler to venture off the beaten path. We're just starting learn that there are quite a few people who like to do the same thing! I had no idea but I'm thankful we found this group/community.

Welcome to Overland Bound Captain & Hook! You cant go wrong with a Wrangler! Hope to hear more about your adventures!

Hello out there.

I'm Chris, live in the beautiful Flathead Valley of NW Montana.

I have a new Tacoma MT, previously had a '91 Isuzu Trooper and a '98 Honda Passport. Guess I have a thing for Japanese 4x4s (though the new Taco was proudly made in the USA!)

I've been overlanding most my life, but just started calling it "overlanding" earlier this year. Many great memories of exploring and camping with the family and many camping road trips and festivals over the years.

Looking to connect with other folks in Montana and the greater Inland Northwest for new adventures.

Welcome to Overland Bound Chris!
You cant go wrong with a Toyota!
I LOVE Montana!
Hope to hear more about your adventures!

Hello All -

My name is Shane. I am new to Overlanding and want to get out on some good adventures. My wife and I currently do a lot of Geocaching and we want to add Overlanding to the mix and set some 5/5's out on the trails.

I recently traded in my 2016 T4R SR5 mall crawler for a 2018 TRD Off Road Premium with KDSS. I am still learning the capabilities of my vehicle and have a long ways to go. I have not added any mods as of yet other than wheels and tires.

I currently live in Salem, Oregon and we have a lot of different places to trail including the Mt. Hood National Forest and the Tillamook National Forest. A favorite area in the state of lots of people are the Oregon Dunes in Florence, Oregon - aka, Sand Lake.

I am new to Overlanding but ready for some adventures. Were planning our first for late spring which will be about 3-4k miles over 2 weeks.

Salem, OR
to Glacier National Park
to Yellowstone
to Salt Lake City
to Arches national Park
to Canyonlands Nation Park
to Moab
to Bryce Canyon National Park
to Rachel, NV (Area 51)
to Tonopah, NV
to Reno
to In and Out Burger
to home

Thanks All!

Hello All!

I came across the forum while looking around for off-road navigation ideas, and since this forum seems to be pretty active, I am hoping that I can find some good information in here :) My family often strays off the beaten path for our adventures, but they are more along the 'civilized' side of overlanding. That is, we tend to hotel camp at night and wander out to the woods during the day. So not exactly true overlanding, but I am hoping to start changing that in the future.

I'll post a proper into once I have my three posts in.

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it! It'll come later!
2) Location (General area is fine) Greater St. Louis Area (on the IL side)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.) What's left of a '99 Mountaineer
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!) More towards the Novice side of things, but we manage.

Welcome to Overland Bound Kage!
Hope to hear more about your adventures!

View attachment 41119 Hi
I own a Mowag that has been converted into an overlander with trailer.
I’m based in the UK and spend as much time travelling throughout the UK & Europe’s as I can.

Welcome to Overland Bound Mobbster!
That has to be the most unique overlanding vehicle I've ever seen!
Hope to hear more about your adventures!

Good morning everyone! I'm not new to overlanding, but new to this community with a new build! Located in the Portland area I'm adventuring in a '17 Silverado. Growing up on the coast I'm very familiar with sand and mud trails, but I'm here to look for trails beyond that leading to amazing places. Rubber side down everyone!
