Hey OB!

Nick here, from the San Francisco Bay.
My wife and I are newbie-ish overlanders, learning the ropes over a handful of California trips over the last year. Looking to connect with others to go on trips with.
Favorite trips have been Northern Death Valley and Plumas Backcountry Discovery Trail.

We've got a 2005 LR3 with 214k miles (eek!) but have fun with it and try not to break it.

Pics of the rig attached.

Hey Everyone!

My name is Adam, I live in Los Angeles California. I currently go to school in Denver (which is where I will do a majority of my driving)
I recently bought a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with only 10k miles on it. It has a majority of mods done (roof rack, winch, steel bumper, etc.)
I have very little experience. I personally have not driven off-road, but I have been in the car with others while they drove. I would love to learn more!

Hello

Im in Northern California
Ive got a 92 Toyota 4Runner. I have litterally gone through every bit of the truck and made modifications. Designed and built all tubular rocksliders, front bumper and rear bumper/spare carrier. Dual transfer cases, winch, locker, straight axle. Has the 3.0 and is a 5 speed. 190k. Been abusing this truck for 16 years.

As far as experience, I have a lot. That being said, i will still watch build videos, trips, and loadout videos on youtube to see what other people are doing. Always looking to improve. Super excited to be here.

My two sons are my expedition companions.

Welcome to Overland Bound, glad to see another person in the Gold Country area. My wife @Firemom live in the Auburn area, and there is a great Overlanding community in the Gold country / Sierra Foothills area.

Check out the forums for Sierra Foothills Overlanders. We have our group Christmas party on the 18th, at Solid Grounds Brewery. Also there is a meet-up in The Sacramento (Citrus Heights) area. Hope to see you out there!

If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

Hello Everyone! My name is Jon and I just joined the group. I'm in San Clemente, CA. My experience is mostly desert trips (glamis, dumont, ocotillo, etc.), but I am excited to gain true overlanding experience. My rig is a 2008 GMC Canyon Z71 4x4.

Hello.

I am a new member here. I have a Gen 2 tacoma TRD offroad in white. I like camping, hiking, fishing, and kayaking. I generally hold a preference for dogs over people. I am from the Midwest United States, and I believe in small government, property rights, and individual freedom.

Good day.

New to the Overland Bound community, but not new to overlanding. I finally made the decision to get the badge that everyone is talking about and glad I did. Located in Winchester, CA. Rig: 2016 Toyota 4Runner. We have been overlanding since 2016. And always learning. Hopefully we get to meet some of you out there on the field.
