Good day all. I'm in north Texas
We are an off road 4x4 kind of family.
My daily driver a full size F150 6" lift with 35's. Our overland rig in a gen.1 Xterra (my wife's rig). We bought my 15yo a 89 YJ which now has a 4" lift and 33's

I'm a wilderness self reliance nerd that has been doing the vehicle-based living since I was a kid.
my dad had old trucks and we traveled in a HIPPY van most of my childhood.

I now have a nonprofit foundation that helps Veterans, Law-Enforcement and First Responders get outside and unplug to relieve the stresses of their jobs… to prevent the junk associated with post traumatic stress, single incident and cumulative stress from multiple critical incidents.

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.

Hey y’all, excited to be a part of Overland Bound!

Hello all! I'm new here. I went to Overland Expo east a couple years ago but I'm just now getting into Overlanding. I'm sure I'll wear out that search feature.

 

[Twizted]

First post...

1) Picture:


2) Location: State of Jefferson
3) Rig: 2015 Tacoma DCLB TRD Sport
4) Overlanding Experience Background: I've done some things.

Second post...

Two overlay banners showing up at the bottom, making it difficult to navigate.


I am a member, so the left one is useless; can I somehow make it to away?
Right one is for chat, and that doesn't seem like something I'm interested in at this point.
