Hey everyone! I'm Jesse, I'm in Charlotte NC. I'm new to Overland, but not off-roading. My rig is a 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road trail limo (double cab long bed). I'm looking forward to taking in all you have to teach and getting to know you guys. Thanks!

Long time lurker, Figured it was time to post up and introduce myself.
I'm Gared Findley, From Hinton Oklahoma. Been offroading most of my life, but overlanding has taken over in the last few years. Each year the equipment, knowledge, and adventures evolve and I cant wait to see what this year will bring. I have met a few of you out and about on the trail, but I'm always open to meeting new people and sharing knowledge and even helping wrench on some rigs.

Currently using a 2014 Jeep JKU Rubicon wrangler. Custom built trailer I built.

You can find me on facebook as well as youtube, hope to see some of you out on the trail!

View attachment 82944 View attachment 82943 Good evening from Mid-Michigan,

We drive a 2015 Jeep JKU and have a Smittybilt Scout trailer that are both a work in progress. We have lots of camping experience and a little off-roading experience. Looking forward to linking up with other like minded people for outdoor adventure.

Hey everyone, My name is Sophan. I am from San Jose CA, and I drive a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Limited. I am new to overlanding/offroading, and hoping to absorb as much knowledge as I can and learn more about this community, my own vehicle and driving abilities. Hoping to meet some of you out on the trails.

What’s up OverLandBound my name is Jason and I’m now back in SoCal rolling with a 2017 Taco TRD ORSB. I’m pretty new to this but have done a couple of runs with Some of your members. Had a blast so far and look forward to hitting more trails to learn and explore.

Newbie posting.
After several years of progressively exploring remote places in the southwest, I spent the last two months looking at vehicles and settled on a 2018 Outback 2.5 Limited last Sunday. I have some friends that offroad but don't have a lot of direct experience with it myself; while there are a lot of different forums, I'm pretty impressed with everything I've seen here on Overland Bound since I found it yesterday evening - this is a pretty incredible resource.

Cheers!

Hi, I'm Justin. Currently on active duty in the military and retiring at the end of 2019 and returning home. So in the process of searching for my next great adventure, it occurred to me I haven't explored enough of my own country. Then I found Overland Bound on Youtube. So I'm here, cool.

Location: Tollhouse, CA (Near Fresno, in the Sierra Navada Mountains)
Rig: Not yet (I'll be shopping for one, I have some ideas)
Experience: Not much (I did do it in Japan on the back of a motorcycle though I didn't know it was overlanding. We would just head out for the weekend and camp)

Welcome to Overland Bound @Scott Loeser! The PNW has a great deal to offer to anyone interested in overlanding, and Seattle is a perfect launching point for a lot of it. Plus, the Overland Bound community up here is incredible!

I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your “neighbors”. In fact, there is an event occurring this coming Saturday at Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, just north of Seattle [link]. Events are also posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.


I look forward to seeing you out there! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.

Thanks Jedi!! I really appreciate the response. I was out of town this past weekend but otherwise I would have been there. Thanks for the links too. I'm really excited to be a part of this group.

Scott
