I will check them out. I’ve been noticing not a whole lot for are year truck. I wonder why??? I wanted to put a couple of light bars on with the light as whelk at the corners of my hood. Also looking for a great sounding cat back exhaust and just nothing out there. I will check them out for the Rick sliders though.

Exhaust- https://www.carid.com/2018-toyota-tacoma-exhaust-systems/?filter=1&sub-model[Liter][]=3.5L

So, I’ve had my truck a couple months. From what I have learned, the main reason you see some parts omitting the 2018 year is some safety/electronic changes such as lane assist and such. You can work around it. If you need any other insight let me know. I do a lot of research. Drives my wife nuts. Lol

Lol. I’m in the same boat. I have been playing for the last week or so. My wife thinks I’m crazy.

 

[Jonathan Moreno]

Hi Everyone,

I'm Jonathan. I've been a car guy all my life, but mostly fast road cars. Past couple years my need for the peace in nature and more adventurous life has been calling. Thus I've been driven to start overlanding.

- Location: San Francisco Bay Area
- Rig 1: 1996 Isuzu Trooper (motor and trains under construction)
- Rig 2: 2008 Volkswagen Touareg
- Overlanding Experience Background: Novice

I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge, friendships and points on the maps by joining Overland Bound.

Hi,

Empty nester Outdoor enthusiast from Austin TX. With both kids in college in Colorado want to explore more of the back roads getting there and when up there (for starters)

Stock 2014 F150 Fx4 short bed. Due to budget constraints (out of state college is expensive), starting small with some basic upgrades, first Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires. Not sure what next. Reason I joined the group, to learn from the wealth of knowledge/experience the Overland Bound forum members have and to meet up with some on our travels.

Im in Austin too. South if you ever want to meet up.

[QuestorThews]

Hey all. My name is Questor. Ques' for short. I currently run an '81 Toyota Pickup 4x4 daily driver, but I am on the hunt for a first-gen GX470 to build a general use rig out of. I have questions about the basic necessities of an overland rig, and where to start with my build. Can you fine folks please point me in the right direction. I am sure that this topic has been beaten to death in these forums and I don't want to clog up the boards with noob questions. Thanks in advance!

 

[Jrfelkins]

Welcome to Overland Bound. There are some groups in you area. I’m from Alabama, but if you go to the “Region” section and search Southeast you will find some conversation there. I know that sounds obvious but it took me a couple days to find anything in my area. Hope this helps. [emoji1360]

Thank you!!

 

[Johnnyswell]

Hey all! New to the forum here and I'm looking to start overlanding soon!

Location: Bucks County, PA
RIG: 2006 Jeep LJ Rubicon (love my Jeep forums too!)
Experience: Novice

My goal in a year or so is to travel the Trans American Trail so I joined this forum in hopes to pick the brains of those who have completed it and what gear they recommend along with preferred maps and GPS as well.

 

[Walrus]

Hello to all from the “Walrus’’ located in Kingsville MD. Been following this forum for a few years thought I should finally try to post and introduce myself. Having never posted on a forum I have no idea what I am doing, so I hope this works as I have 20 minutes into writing this introduction so far. This picture is one of many from Colorado Imogene Pass, August 2017, the other picture White Rim Trail, (3 nights/4 days) Canyonlands National Park April of 2016. This year’s trip 10/2018 to South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.

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.

hey all. dadsafrantic here. i live in the north/east bay area of san francisco. i'm going to back to living deliberately.

 

[Jason Bergeron]

Hey! Just joined. I've been watching the rig interview and other Overland Bound videos and have been slowly building my rig. I'm probably extremely novice, but I feel my experience in mountain biking and also the fact that I'm a mechanic can help me out. I just want to go on adventures, camp, explore, and hopefully mountain bike...

I'm currently living in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

I currently drive a 2005 Lexus RX330 that I've pieced together a lift kit for and put bigger tires on, etc.

 

[Jedi]

Hello all, I am very excited to have found this community. I'm Brian, but my camping/shooting friends usually just call me Jedi because of my Star Wars obsession. So here are the "few things":

1) Saved till last...
2) I just relocated to the top left corner of the "Lower 48" in a small city called Ferndale, Washington. Before moving here I lived in Calaveras County, California (home of one of the most famous 4x4 trails...)
3) My overland drive is also my daily drive, a 2010 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Rubicon. It has been left stock, for the most part, with the exception of important items like my amateur radio and 33" tires. I have many more improvements planned...
4) I don't have too much overland experience with the exception of what used to be a semi-annual trip to the high desert of Northern Nevada that involved 4-wheeling, camping, shooting and relaxation.

So, here is my Jeep, "Red Five" from one of my many trips through the desert.

 

[Joe Baker]

Hello, I’ve been a member since Jan 2018 and I’m finally introducing myself.
I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon all stock accept for the front bumper with a winch. My wife and I love camping. Very relaxing. Here lately we have explored Washington State every weekend for the past 2 months. We live in Yelm, WA.

It would be great to meet and possibly explore with other OB Members.

Nice setup! So many great places to explore up your way. I need to move to the PNW. [emoji23]
