This is a mix-up of all the places I took this truck in the first 6 weeks. There are pretty decent amateur videos that I posted to YouTube

Hello, everyone. Obviously new guy here. The wife and I enjoyed tent camping, but wanted to start to travel and explore more. I've been watching everything I could about Overland Camping in the past few months, and we decided it would be a cool thing to get into. See the real America, not just from the interstate. (that's where all the people are)
Short rig description, I have a 2015 Silverado, and she drives a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. We are buying an offroad trailer, and it should be here in a couple weeks.

Hi all! I’m Kade! I own a 2003 Toyota Tacoma DC 4x4 and a 2012 Toyota Tundra off road. I’m in the Marine Corps and about to exit service soon! I’m pretty excited for new adventures! I’ve been overlanding my whole life with all types of climes. My most recent trip was out to Uwharrie National forest in NC for some good times. My family is from Africa and have done trips in Windhoek, Namibia all the way to Ivory Coast and as well as my time spent living in Ghana. I grew up mostly in Africa, Arizona and Germany with a military family! I’m excited to get out and meet some cool people doing what i love. My wife and my two pups are my crew and thank you for letting me share! I’ll be in Costa Rica soon to do some overlanding out there! Super stoked.View attachment 104538View attachment 104539View attachment 104540View attachment 104541

New here from So Cal.

Doing research before diving in to overland world.

Considering a Subaru Outback purchase & modifying to make it more capable for light off roading & fun camping with my family.

The criterion that has to be met are:
- comfortable for 5 total passengers on long trips

- decent gas mileage to be my daily driver (already ruled out trucks). 20-25+ is a dream.

- capable off road. Nothing aggressive

- looks great (although I’m pretty into the look of all overland vehicles I’ve seen so far. The mods are just plain cool)

Any other suggestions than the Outback?

Thanks for the warm welcome.

We have a:
2008 Jeep Commander (XK) Sport

I am a novice when it comes to overlanding but have been off-roading for 7 years. My first experience was out in hawaii with an 95Xj and then went to a 2006 TJ (2.5L 4cyl). Now i have the Commander which is an absolute blast. I currently live in California, Maryland and i am constantly searching for beaches, back-roads, trails to take the kids and wife on and just enjoy the great outdoors. Looking to get into camping overnight on this locations ASAP.

Heya Welcome Forum

For starters my name is Kara and I drive a '11 Nissan Xterra it's my daily and toy.

I don’t have much experience overlanding but I'm not afraid to try and have experience with camping/hiking and kayaking. Love being out in the middle of nowhere and packing my kids with me. (7 yo girl & 3 yo boy atm) and of course my dog.

Stoked to add some more outdoor activities and maybe meet some folks.

Good morning Welcome Forum

For starters my name is Nick and I drive an 2016 Toyota 4Runner.

I don’t have much experience overlanding but I’m excited to learn about overlanding and hopefully learn about some hidden trails out here in West Texas (Odessa/Midland).

I do some amateur photography work with Guns, Rigs, and Gear. If you’re into stuff like that I do have an Instagram page it’s @lord_ _hotdog.

Super excited to be apart of the Overland Bound community!

Hi all,
I'm in Eastern Idaho and I have lurked here for a bit while looking for a cheap truck. Picked up this 2004 frontier for a good price. I'm currently working on replacing the belts and fluids and cleaning it up. For improving off-road capability I plan to start by beefing up the suspension and then incrementally add some protection. The craziest offroading we do now is forest roads to get to trails and lakes and such, but I'd like to end up on some more technical things. There is a lot within 8 hours of us.

Just joined after running into some crew out at the Lost Coast. Great people and I look forward to contributing and having fun!

I am currently running a stock 2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. I am also amazed at what this thing can do!
Welcome to Overland Bound!

The crew you ran into was probably the Central California Meet-up that meets in Ripon once a month. Their contact is @PapaDave

Hello! I’m new to this community. I drive an 08 JKU with only Offroad mods and hardly anything that’s useful for camping. I got almost no knowledge on how to route an overland trip so here I am.

My Name is Kirk.
I have a 1990 Bronco and 2004 Yukon.
I live in Wichita KS and am from Oregon, so I have made a lot of road trips between the two with lots of adventures between.
I am very experienced off-roader and traveler. I have a lot of knowledge of Oregon backcountry so if anyone would like ideas, just ask.
There are some surprisingly fun places to explore in KS and the surrounding states.
