Greetings everyone! My name is Brandon Brooks and I live in Cincinnati Ohio. A few friends and I recently got into the world of overlanding but I'm the only 1 of us that is a member of OB so far. I drive a heavily modified 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser. Looking forward to making new friends and having some awesome off road adventures.

Long time lurker that finally joined up! I've been wheeling for years in Jeep, Hummer, and Land Rover. Finally settled into Overlanding, which I find much more enjoyable than rock crawling or mudding. I'm signed up for Overland Expo West in May 2018 and I will be bringing my 2011 LR4 and 2017 XVenture XV-2 trailer. I'm retired military (both Army and Air Force). Loads of experience outdoors camping and even teaching wilderness survival.

Hey y’all! New member here. From the Vine grove KY area. Been camping all my life , bought a 07 JkU a few years back and have since gotten into overlanding (still fairly new).
Done a few trips trough the gorge area (mostly camping) and a few trips through pisgah and unaka (first real overlanding experience) . Love exploring new places with new people .Love the great out doors and sites that God has blessed us with.
Would love to get to know you guys and the community !
Welcome to OB, it's always great to see another Kentuckian join the group. :sunglasses:

Hey, I'm headed to Flagstaff for my first time from Tennessee. Bought my ticket at midnight. 27 years of big city firefighting here. Hoping to find a few easier trails to explore while I'm out there.

Found Overland Bound looking for ideas to customize Jeep for overland use.
I live in Folsom, CA. Yes, the prison is still here. No, I don't live there.
Haha, good to know. Welcome to OB, I bet you can find some ideas over in the build forums.

Hi all,

Just got back from a test run with my recently rebuilt baja bug. Had a blast with the family! Anyway, it's set up with a big rack, nearly the size of a truck bed. We like going on longer trips, and looking to get together with a good group of like-minded people.

From San Diego area
'69 baja bug
'06 Tacoma
Lots of both camping and off road experience, just never termed it as "overlanding."
