Hi all. I finally decided to throw my hat in the ring after perusing this site many times over the years. I love the outdoors and hitting the back roads and moderate trails with my current rig, a 2011 F250 Superduty with the 6.7 diesel. The mountains and rivers of Colorado and the western states are where I enjoy exploring. View attachment 42638

Gregg here, Been an adventurer and explorer most of my life. In fact, was exploring wild places in my Jeep Cherokee before "overloading" was a thing. (at least in the U.S.) Now have an 08 Commander, Sport 4x4. Can't wait to do all the mods I have planned. They've already started ...
Based in Middle Ga.
Welcome to Overland Bound! Hope to hear about your adventures.

Hi, my name is Ken. I am from Middle TN and started doing some overlanding a couple years ago. I've been an outdoor enthusiast for years though. Currently about to start building an 18' T4R TRD Off-road. Previously owned a 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro, 2008 FJ Crusier and a few other Toyotas. Glad to be a member on here.

I am new to any forum.. so hopefully I’m doing this right. I am new to overlanding as well, but have always been into camping and off-roading. I have kids and wife and we live in North West Ohio. More Central/West I suppose, Hardin County. I’m a Pipefitter/Welder by day. EMT/Firefighter by night. My “Rig” is a 2004 Ford Excursion 6.0 PSD. We have been on a couple Michigan camping trips, this last time we went as far as Munising in the U.P. It was a blast. We look forward to expanding our adventuring this year and plan to do some much needed suspension upgrades to the Excursion. We plan on starting in Georgia or Tennessee. I think that was all that was on the list! Happy New Year!! XxJoshua

Greetings and Happy New Year, Overland Bound. I'm Shane Caffrey and a new member here. My rig's an '07 Tacoma Access TRD off road @ 75K on BFG KO2's, with an ARE MX cap and custom built storage/sleeping platform. I live in Brooklyn (born and raised) and 2017 was my first year overlanding, taking my rig into the mountains up and down the east coast every chance I get. I've done some easy 4x4 trails and lots of fire roads, but want to push further. In 2018, I'll making lots more trips and mods. I look forward to meeting folks here, learning all I can, and helping OB in what ways I can.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks for the add. I am new to overlanding. Love camping but I want to explore more. I live in the Pittsburgh, PA area but after living in CO and CA I feel limited in outdoor adventures. I drive a 2006 Toyota Sequoia (only mods so far is leveling lift and spacers). I also recently purchased a M416 trailer which I'm in the middle of restoring and building a lid for. I have three kids so more space will be greatly appreciated on future adventures. Looking forward to learning a lot from this community.
