Hi guys. Land shark is joining the frey. I just got my 2015 tacoma sport and looking for some cool, like minded adventurers. Total rookie with no ego whatsoever. I am looking forward to some good wholesome dirty fun and developing some new skills in the off road world. Thankful to be here and wishing all an amazing 2019.

New member here from Tahoe but heading global in a couple weeks. Rented out the house, sold the cars, built up an ambo, then loaded up the family and hit the road while learning how to home school. We spent the past 5 months touring the US to get the bugs out before heading south. We're currently finishing up some repairs before entering Mexico and spending 3 years exploring Latin America.

I'm excited to be a new member of the team. I drive a 2005 HUMMER H2. I have a bit of experience with off roading but would not consider myself an expert by any means. I love in the Salt Lake area and frequent many of the red rocks of Utah. I'm looking forward to new friends and cleanup events.

View attachment 80750 Nice to meet you all. Been exploring all my life but this is the start of my first overland build.
Love to travel with my wife, two daughters and a 150lb mastiff, so this Tundra CrewMax gives us lots of room.

Hello everyone, new member here. I've been over landing and exploring full-time for the past 10 months or so, with no end in sight!
I drive a 17' Tacoma DCLB Off-road with a Norweld flatbed and a Four Wheel Camper Fleet Flatbed as my home on wheels.
Looking forward to meeting and connecting with all you awesome folks!

New guy here in Carlsbad, CA. Just moved here from out of state and currently have a few mechanicals holding me back, but i'm looking forward to getting out and exploring in the Spring and Summer.

Currently in a 72' FJ40, but that might get replaced by something more family friendly.

Hello Everyone, Exploring this planet is something that has had my attention since I was a child. I hope that I am finally in a position that I can get out there and see what there is to see. I have a very supportive wife and two daughters that will be my travel companions. We call NC home and will be taking our first trip out west this year! Current Rig '09 JKU Rubicon-lift, tires, winch, gears etc.... Fixing to move to a 4th gen 4runner (read: comfort).... I look forward to the experiences ahead.

Hey all,
Stephen from Lincoln/Sacramento CA area and look forward to meeting good people in this area. New to the forum and overlanding. Drive Rig: 2004 YukonXL 2500 with Quadrasteer. Quadrasteer allows this whale of a rig (130" wheel base) make u-turns under 40'...in other words tighter than most sedans. Also started an off road trailer build. Hoping to learn about trails that accommodate larger rigs. Thanks!

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.
Hi all! Stoked to be a member of such a cool community.
