Getting ready to outfit my F150 for overland and need recommendations between Tepui XL and Smittybilt XL. If I'm correct, Smittybuilt has a larger door on at the back of the annex, which can be great to have the tent opening to the rear. I have also seen that the Tepui is more popular but not sure if that has to do with better marketing or simply a better tent. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Ill be posting pictures of the build up soon..

Hi all. Just joined. My wife and I are very experienced overlanders. I look forward to meet more of you on in the great outdoors on a trek. We live in the great state of Montana so we have plenty of places to go that doesn't take long to get there for short adventures. We do travel to Colorado, Utah, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Cali a lot also.

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!

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

View attachment 84922 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.

First off ill send your act issue the the appropriate person.

Secondly,

Welcome. Keep up the camping lifestyle. Nothing better!

 

[Uncleboom]

So a few 4x4's in the family fleet in Trussville, AL: My 2001 WJ Laredo 4.7L bone stock, my wife's 2004 LR Disco2 (which she refuses to drive in dirt) and our 2017 F-250 6.7L PS (used to tow a 5th Wheel). Zero overlanding experience, BUT as we enjoy boondocking in the fiver, I am looking forward to 'camping' as opposed to RV'ing, away from maddening crowds.
