[Kent R]

A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it! Sorry rig is in transit-I take delivery tomorrow

2) Location (General area is fine) OKC, but I began my overlanding career in Fresno, CA-Thus, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National park were my venture grounds.

3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.) 2019 FORD F-150 (coming off a totaled 2017 TOYO TACO)-I had to up-size due to family joining me at times.

4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!) Somewhat experienced, I know my way around the mech/equipment-but not lone wolf yet.

Equipment on the old truck:
2017 TOYOTA TACO TRD off road
TRD stock wheels (blck) 33in Falken Wildpeaks (A/T) mostly for mixed on road/off road use. (sold)
Prinsu roof rack (sold)
FOX 2.0 shocks (front) Rear (stock)-Did this to level to the rig

Equipment on the NEW rig
2019 FORD F-150 ecoboost (LEADFOOT)
XLT 4x4
Leveling kit (going to FOX 2.0) or do a full Icon stage 3
FORD performance wheels in 33in Michellin A/T (stock).


**I look forward to once again exploring the outdoors.

Hey everyone. Thanks for the addition. Really excited to get this next chapter started and build out my new 2019 Tacoma. I have way to much planned for it so I'll try to keep the excitement at bay. P.s. I am pretty stoked about my member number because think It looks like the front of vehicle. View attachment 99508

Don Stockdale here, my wife Rebecca and I just returned from Overland Expo West 2019 where we had a fabulous time meeting new friends and fellow Overlanders. We joined Overland Bound (#18609) while at the expo and look forward to many more trips. Both Rebecca and I served in the USArmy for more than 10 years so overlanding is nothing new to us only the destinations and friends that we meet. Our current rig is a 2018 Wrangler JKU which handles both of us and our two favorite four legged friends Jazz and Belle. We hope to see you on the trails and if you ever need a beer look me up. I’m always willing to share...

Location: Broomfield CO
Rig: 2018 Wrangler JKU
Experience: we have had a few but are always looking forward to meeting new people and learning new things

@MannyL4227
Welcome from just north of Edmond. I can typically be found around Edmond or on the north side of OKC, I'm hard to miss so if you see me give me a wave, a honk, the finger...whatever.
@Kent R beat me to the introduction, but I am the SW Region member rep if you have any questions.

 

[Kent R]

Hi All

I am Andrew and I live near Charlotte North Carolina. I am from Northern Ireland but have been living in the US for 5 years now.

I have a stock 2011 Land Rover LR4 - this is my 3rd LR but I am thinking of moving to Toyota in the future.

I have done a few trails around Uwharrie with the local Landrover club CROC.
I am interested in overlanding / camping and expeditions with my wife and 2 sons (and spaniel Pyper)

I'm Greg Hartford, and I've just recently gotten in Overlanding. I was inspired by the Lifestyle Overland videos on YouTube. I love adventure and being outdoors, so I thought the Overlanding life was for me! I've just recently joined the Overland Bound community at Overland Expo West 2019, which was my first time at the expo! I look forward to being a part of the greater community and expanding my Overlanding knowledge, adventures, and sharing any insight I learn along the way with people who are just joining the community when I've gotten a little more experienced. Hoping to see you all out on the trails!

Location: "Sunny" San Diego, CA
Current Vehicle: 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Offroad
Experience: Traveled to Yosemite NP, Zion NP, and Joshua Tree NP since getting into Overlanding over the past 6 months! This is my first experience with 4x4 travel.

My rig is a 2015 Jeep JKU Sport, and a 2008 DR650 :)
I am in the Greater Atlanta Area, I wouldn't call myself an experienced overlander but I do go offroading quite a bit in both my jeep and on my motorcycles.

[Roger Jeffery]

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.

Hello, my name is Ray. I am in the Fresno, California area. My rig is a 2019 ram rebel. (One part said to post that but another said it's not important ‍♂) I am a novice who decided I would deep dive into this lifestyle about a year ago. I spent a long time shopping for the right vehicle and putting it together. My first trip with it is in a week. I am very excited. I am a very social person who would live to meet some people, share a beverage and explore the world. I hope I get the chance too meet some of you.
