Evening everyone, new here and hoping to get into overlanding--I have plenty of camping and outdoors experience, just never had the luxury of a vehicle! I just moved back to where I grew up in the Bay Area, CA after a 6 year stint in New England. I recently transitioned from my 2010 F-150 to a 2019 Tacoma TRD OR and I am excited to get out there. Hope to meet some of you all soon!

View attachment 84835 HI ALL! My names Brian and I just got back into offroading. I cashed in my midlife-crises points with the wife and she signed off on a 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2. I plan on using it for family camping trips and taking my young kids out to see nature as much as possible. I hope to attend some meets, get some training, and find out my trucks advantages and disadvantages along with my own limitations. I like hunting, fishing, camping, offroading, nature photography wilderness skills, survival equipment, and anything having to deal with the outdoors. WOW, theres a lot of members here! So I found this site while bumping around on the internet, but you can also find me on ZR2zone and American Adventurist as Devil Dog Hog. Hope to make the community bigger and better and look forward to meeting you on the trails!
Hi Brian! Welcome to Overland Bound!!!

Hey RJ (@Rjsnodgrass)! Welcome to Overland Bound. Seattle is a great place to live if you are looking for adventure and to meet your fellow Overland Bound members. In fact we just had a great meetup last weekend and I am working hard to plan one for February. To get to know the members in your area, I recommend heading on over to the NorthWest Region forum [link].

Depending on where in Seattle you live, you might be interested in hooking up with the South Puget Sound group [link] as they start getting some recurring meetups going.

Of course, 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 for the info....I was at the meet up at the fort. Good time and fun folks. I had the orange Jeep.
RJ

Well it's actually has been pretty mild this winter. To get below zero is normal for this time of year.
Normal and below zero should never be used in the same sentence. My teeth chatter just reading that. :0) Stay warm out there.

Hello, My name is Rob. Located 30 miles North of Detroit, Mi. New to the site and looking forward to learning and really getting into what the site has to offer.

I drive a 2018 Chevy Colorado z71, diesel 2.8L Duramax. I have had jeeps and sports cars over the years but this is my daily so I plan to keep things reasonable with this truck. Not really focused on the crazy off roading aspect but rather the experience aspect. I used to do a fair amount of off roading but I think I have grown out of heavily modifying vehicles these days. Looking to use this truck as the platform to do a lot of camping and ATV-ing. The 'Rado' should get us to where we need to go to set camp and have fun! Michigan has a lot to offer and we plan to spend more time out in it!

I became interested in this site mainly from the YouTube videos. I have really enjoyed that. I have some purchases I need to make concerning our setup and am looking forward to learning from this site and sharing some of the knowledge I have gained over the years. 1st project, goodbye air dam!

Welcome back to the Bay Area! Seeing all these people in the bay who are into overland is making me real itchy to get mine working.

Greeting all. Glad I found this group. I am currently running a 2018 Jeep Rubicon. I live near Camden, SC. Previous experience with a CJ5 and IH Scout II’s, although that was 20 years ago. Getting back into outdoor lifestyle after an extended break.

Hello, obviously i'm new the overland bound community. Have been out on several short trips testing my 2005 F-150 and tweaking a few things since. Looking forward to connecting with some folks and enjoying the outdoors. I have made quite a few mods to the old trusty Ford and still have quite a few on the to do list like i'm sure we all do. In any case feel free to connect and lets him some trails, i'm currently picking off portions of the Oklahoma Adventure Trail. I started NW of Tulsa and am going clockwise around the state. Fished up down in Kiamichi WMA this last weekend. Going to pick it back up in a few weeks and see how far we can get in 3 days.

God Bless

JeepinSNP.jpg Hello! New to the Overland Bound community, but not to the ideas/principles that OB is founded on!

I am having trouble "activating" my account though - sent a message to the admin or whatever to try activate my account :-/

Anywho....I have uploaded a picture of my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon for you all to see! It's a work in progress, but the basics are the (lift, tires, roof rack, etc). Next major additions will be to install front and rear bumpers w/ tire carrier from AEV once they're released sometime before the end of summer (hopefully) and a witch to go along with that front bumper.

I live in Phoenix, AZ, pretty much raised here so love the desert landscape and the state of AZ and the variety of terrain it offers throughout the state.

I'd say i'm in between novice and experienced...haha. Not new to offroading, have owned 5 Jeeps in my life - 4 wranglers, ( YJ, TJ, JKU and now my JLUR) and then also own a 2015 Grand Cherokee. Have camped a lot in my life, grew up in Boy Scouts, so have always loved the outdoors, exploring, etc. I am however, new(er) to overlanding in the context of trips that are a few days/weeks long without a central base camp.

I'll actually be doing a bit of actual overlanding in the next few months on the Devil's Highway in southwest AZ into CA in a week and a half, and then the Mojave trail in April. That's with a club I'm in called Jeep Expeditions based mainly out of AZ, but have lots of members in CA, TX (as well as members in other states too that join on the expeditions that are planned). The club tends to focus on overlanding expedition trips, some of which can be a few days long, other a week or two, even trips that are a month long and are more "once in a lifetime experience" trips.

Having said all that, I'm excited to venture into the Overlanding world, and from what I see, Overland Bound is a great launching point to learn more participate more in the world of Overlanding

To check out more of my current Jeep build and the adventures that are involved with that, follow my instagram - @azonajp Be sure to follow it as more adventures are on the horizon as well as additional mods to make my Wrangler even more capable.

Welcome to Overland Bound, it is a great place to meet like minded people. You can also learn lots about the Overlanding community, no matter your experience level. Once your account is squared away, make sure you check the forums for your local overland groups and meet-ups... Looking forward to seeing you out there.
