Hello everyone and thanks for allowing me to join up with you all :)

A quick question: What form of communication do you all prefer for phone app and Social Media access?

I am Retired and just sick of my stagnant life. Time to build a fire under my bottom and seek out some adventure. I never have like the flat land, but much prefer places less accessible. Where a bit of a challenge with a certain amount of risk might be involved. The black stripped ribbon of straight hiway puts me to sleep and that just isn't what I call adventure. I want to get up in the hills and do a little prospecting for gems and precious metals, more of a hobby than a get rich scheme :)

My last rig was purely a flatlander and since it blew up I now have many options open. I currently have a 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 with the 5.9 intercooled turbo diesel, 5-speed and 4x4. But it needs lots of work like a complete engine rebuild and new clutch. I have it listed For Sale as is and am trying to get the funds together for a 1999 Toyota 4Runner Highlander with 5-speed and rear E-Locker. I found one and just selling a few older projects to make enough to close that deal.

Glad to be part of such an amazing group, let me know if I can be of service :)
Large Shop near Hugo, OK 74743

Welcome! Look forward to seeing your 4Runner!

Trev here is Manitoba. Just waiting for my OB gear to arrive in the mail. Signed up last week. Can’t wait for the summer to hit up some lakes in Ontario and Northern Manitoba. Anyone drive up to the Yukon yet?

I saw someone using Overland Bound Talk and I found it in the G-Play Store. I wonder if that might be better? <- New Member just tonight :)

I'm using this and it's great! Only thing is I can't get the chat to work....

Hi, Nelly Byrd. Doncaster, UK. Land Rover, 46 countries in 974 days. About to set off again but this time for good. We're off to West Africa and then who knows where after that. Wanted to drive to Thailand but waiting for the new permit situation to settle. Been all over the USA also. Was in almost every state at some point in 2013 and 2014 in my old 110 with 300,000 miles on it. This one is a bit newer.

Welcome to OB Nelly! Best of luck and safe travels in Wesr Africa! Keep the wheels on the ground and share some pics!

New guy checkin in just got my membership. Well to start I’ve been into the outdoors for many years. I’ve always went hunting, off-roading, fishing, and camping as long as I can remember. Recently I have been intrigued by overlanding ever since I went on a search for a RTT for mainly hunting. I’ve had a Toyota rock crawler, several XJ’s, and a few Toyota 4x4’s. At the age of 45 I bought my first brand new vehicle ever a 2017 Tacoma Off Road and this is the vehicle I’m planing to outfit for my adventures. So far I have a RTT still in the box lol and today I ordered my bed rack to mount it on.

Hi all, Travis here from the northern tip of VA, but I work all over the place. I run a mostly stock 2010 FJ Cruiser with an ARB roof rack (gold!) and a homemade drawer set in back. Have gotten stuck a few times at work, but am generally easy to get out.

As far as experience goes, I guess my first real experience with overland-type travel was overseas in an FJ76.... that thing was sweet, and I drove it through mud, sand, bad roads, and a very questionable bridge or two. I get out and play in the mountains every so often, but nothing too serious, since I’ve been working a lot since I got the FJ Cruiser last spring. Have taken it out to Corolla, NC for my daughter’s birthday last summer, and that was a blast!

Anyway, it’s meant to be an adventure wagon to support my mountain biking/trail running/camping habits, so I’ll be getting after it some more at the end of February.
