Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Hank Outdoors]

Hi all, Darren from central NC. This is my new-to-me '05 Xterra SE 4x4. It is my daily and I have a long commute, so I'm not gonna go too crazy, but definitely plan on some nice upgrades. First may be a Shrockworks rear bumper with tire carrier, since my bumper and hitch are rusty. New leaf packs, shocks, springs, etc, and most likely 265/70 R17 all terrain tires (that's the size I'm leaning toward). I am an avid bass fisherman and love camping and everything outdoors.

Hi, Everyone:

Just joined last night, though I have followed Overland Bound for a while.

Used to be outdoors quite a bit growing up, but life and family have been a priority. I have a 5 year old son who I want to introduce overlanding/camping to and am trying to find a way to reacquaint myself and the family to it. I figure Overland Bound is a great place to start.

I have a 2013 Tacoma TRD long bed. Lifted; wheels; tires; Truck Vault; and shell. I have a new front bumper and winch on order that hopefully will be installed mid-April. Not too handy with tools but willing to learn. I am a total novice when it comes to overlanding and do not know where to go locally (Northern California). My truck suits my personal life, though my professional life is lived in a suit.

Looking forward to reading, learning, and experiencing whatever is to come.

Welcome to OB Ryan!

Hey Yall!
New member from Washington State (Spokane specifically).
I grew up around mud bogs and 4WD but just got into myself. I've got a 2015 Taco TRD. I'll post some pics later!
I'm looking forward to getting on the trails with some of you!

Hi my name is Christian, I'm from Long Island, NY.

Ive always loved nature and the outdoors but haven't had much exposure to it as I live in a metropolitan area. I recently got a 2015 Wrangler JKU Sport and I think overlanding is a perfect opportunity to explore this passion. I am new to off roading and this type of adventure but can't wait to start the journey and learn the skills needed to create my own rig

From a fellow NY'er....welcome to OB Christian!

Howdy.

I'm Jonathan from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I'm in the Auburn Bay area of Calgary.

I'm building up a 2004 Chevy Suburban Z71 as my rig. It's a great size for our growing family and treats us well. Would absolutely love to join on some trails here in Alberta (if anyone knows of any).

Got a dirty photo for you;



I've been Overlanding in one way or another since I was young/born. My parents always enjoyed getting us "out there". Love it!!!

Happy to be here, looks like a great community!

Hello everyone, my name is Matt and I just joined tonight and live in Southern California. I have a 94 Jeep Wrangler. It was my college vehicle, and I decided to make a few upgrades although there is no lift. Time to get it dusty! I love dirt fire roads and small stream crossings, but I'm not a fan of super steep hills or rocks. I'm not a newbie, but also not very experienced. I'm excited to be a new member. #11680
