1. I just traded my 2012 JK in on this JKU.
2. Spokane, Washington
3. 2015 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited
4. My experience is kind of all over the place. I come from a backpacking and bikepacking environment that has come to include a lot of car camping, with my family. My overlanding has generally been on known trails (BDR, etc.) or trail like roads, in Washington and Idaho.

I’m really happy to be here. I’ve been lurking for a long time, but I’m pretty stoked to be a part of this now. Looking forward to adventures with you all!

Welcome from Utah. Love the Jeep. Same year as mine :0-)

That picture doesn't look like CT ;-)

Just wanted to introduce myself.
I am from Amarillo, Texas and I am completely new to this. I want to get my family out in the world exploring. I am encouraged by seeing this group.

My daily driver was dying and I took that as my opportunity to commit to this. I picked up a new Wrangler unlimited sport s. I am excited about this next step for our small family.

Howdy from the Reno area of NV. My family goes adventuring in an FJC on 33". We have done lots of runs 'solo' and a number with other local clubs. But I am still trying to network more with folks that want to go farther to cool places, and not just rockcrawl. Expedition style is more our speed so I am looking forward to meeting more people into it. We do a lot of rock hounding and hitting ghost towns. Nothing beats parking on a mountain in the middle of nowhere, popping the ARB awning and cracking open a cold one.

Welcome to Overland Bound

I see our Reno Member Rep has already greeted you with the Reno meet-up info. Great group of people that love to do what you describe.

Hi all!

My name is Mark, and my wife and I live in San Diego (Rancho Penasquitos area). I used to do a lot of "overland" trips back in the 90's before most folks in the US used that word. At the time, I had a built Jeep Cherokee with a Trailblazer Camper off-road tent trailer (I was a dealer for them). I switched to Toyota in 2001 with a 1st gen Tacoma Double Cab TRD Off-Road, which stayed relatively stock, but supported all of the outdoor activities I enjoy (camping, hiking, mountaineering, caving, climbing, trail running, mountain biking, search and rescue volunteer).

I updated to a 3rd gen Tacoma Double Cab Long Bed TRD Off-Road in 2017. I have been building it over the past two years: CBI front / rear bumpers and sliders, Warn M-8000S winch, Old Man Emu BP-51 suspension with SPC upper control arms, Prinsu CabRack and TopRack, Snug Top reinforced shell, Tepui Gran Sabana Roof-Top Tent, and this past week added FN Wheels FX Pro 16 x 8's and Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT LT285/75R16 tires.

I am looking forward to meeting other members and going on some trips!

By the way I did become a member. Does that take awhile to be reflected in the Avatar?

Hiya @Mattyspies3 and welcome to Overland Bound. That is a great looking 4Runner, I am sure you and your family get lots of enjoyment out of it. Seattle is a great central location for all that the PNW has to offer so I doubt you will ever be bored out here.
There are a number of great overlanding events occurring throughout the PNW, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your neighbors. Events are also posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well. If you don't mind traveling a little to the North or South of Seattle, @Gabriel Bozeman is working on setting up monthly meetups of members in the North Sound area [link] and @Sarge368 is working to do the same for the South Sound members [link]. Many of the members are actively planning for the NW Overland Rally in Plain, WA [link] which occurs at the end of June.

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

Thanks @Jedi already checked out the NW region info and introduced myself there, but will check all the links and info about the meet ups. Appreciate all the info!
