Hello Everyone,

I am Eric from Los Angeles California. I drive a 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser Fzj80 and a 1972 Land Cruiser FJ55. I have the 80 pretty well built with ARB front bumper with side rails and sliders, TJM snorkel, AOE rear bumper spare tire and gas can swing out, Iron Man roof rack, IPF lights, rear view camera, custom sounds and stereo, warn 9k winch, 315 ko2's, and 3" OME lift with OME sport shocks. My 72 is newly restored with a PTO winch. I plan on keeping 72 maily stock. I love to go camping and take 80 overlanding whenever possible. Glad to be part of this community.
Welcome.

Hi! I just joined and I look forward to meeting other overlanders and participating in the forum.
I am in Halifax, NS, Canada but I tend to move a lot (thanks to the Navy)
I drive a 2004 Land Rover Discovery, it works most of the time :) Not overly modified, just a OME 50mm lift. I still have the steel bumper and sliders sitting by the garage waiting for me to put them on.
I would say I am moderately experienced. I have participated in various offroading events with OVLR but always based on a base camp. I am looking at adapting my truck and equipment to be a bit more versatile and be able to overland a bit more. Cheers
David

Welcome.
What engine is in your 2004 Discovery TD5 or a 3.5l V8
I have TD5 in my Defender now but previously loved my Discovery with the 3.5l V8 just a bit expensive to run here in the UK

Hi. Lots of camping and backpacking experience. New to "overlanding". Minimal 4x experience. Driving 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Hard Rock with RoofNest roof top tent. In the Portland, Oregon area.
Welcome to Overland Bound @Brandy! The Portland/Vancouver area is packed full of Overland Bound members who are a great resource for new overlanders. To top it off, there are a number of great overlanding events occurring throughout the PNW, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your “neighbors”. Events are also posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.


I look forward to seeing you out there! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.

Hello All!

Justin from MD here, new to the site. Looking forward to meeting up with others in the Mid-Atlantic area (MD, PA, VA, WV). I've got a 14' JKU, mild lift, winch, etc. and REALLY want to give over-landing a go. I've been tent camping and RV-ing for 20+ years.

Cheers!

Hey guys, just joined up. I drive a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek with lift, tires, rack, bumper, etc. I love getting out and camping. I've been known to sleep in the Subaru across the street from a perfectly good hotel just because.

hi all!!
1 - Philadelphia PA
2 - 17 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD w/ some mods
3 - excited to be a part of this community and stoked to be able to do some trips and meet some new people. I've been an outdoorsman for many years even coming from a "big city", the mountains and woods have always called my name. I got into camping and hiking while living in Oregon and Colorado and have always been a huge fan of overlanding so I decided to jump right into it when I had a chance. best decision I have ever made. if you are east coast and have some trips lined up or some meetups... get at me!
