Hello, I'm Bo and I currently live outside PHX, AZ.
I drive a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited ..I've owned this Jeep for 4 years and still haven't named it...a first for me as I usually name my vehicles.
I started out in the offload world while I was stationed in WY and had a 98' Jeep Cherokee that I mildly built up and played in the rocks with. I eventually moved on from it and later on ended up buying the JKU. When I purchased the JKU I was done with playing in rocks as that just makes for a long day of going 5 miles(on a good trip.) Having two kids I knew I wanted to get them in the outdoors so have focused on making the JKU more Overland friendly. Unfortunately my biggest issue is I just don't get out like I should, I have big intentions but the weekend rolls around and I just want to be lazy so my resolution for 2018 is to actually get my butt out of the house! I look forward to meeting other Overland Bound members and am hoping to make it up to Overland West in May.

Hi everyone,
Location: Fairbanks, Alaska
Rig: 2013 Toyota Tacoma
Been camping for years. This summer I did a simple build in the back of my truck. Followed Ryan Shauers design from Desk to Dirtbag. I did a few trips this summer around Alaska and it worked great. Simple is Better.

View attachment 42519 View attachment 42520 Hey everyone!
Location : Chicago Illinois Area
Vehicles: 1998 4runner Limited, 2011 BMW G650GS
Lots of experience off roading, and remote camping.

I work as a full time mechanic, and part time EMT. I’ve loved camping my whole life, and off roading since the day I could drive. I’ve owned a couple Wranglers, and a couple XJ’s over the years, but so far my favorite has been my 4runner. Im excited to learn from all the members here, and hear about some cool vehicles, and travel stories.
