Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Kent R]

Hi everyone, been a member for a little while but just now starting to post more so I thought I would start here. Names Michael Jewett and I drive a 2008 4runner limited that started to turn into an overland rig mid-2017. It seems like I'm constantly changing something on it. This is what it currently looks like.

Welcome to Overland Bound.

Hello ,
Brand new here so I am not even sure this is the right spot for this . I discovered these forums while looking for information on GoTreads , and of course went in 43 different directions but found these very interesting . Not really an explorer as such , but we do the beach camping thing so as far as equipment and things like that , I can relate . Anyway , just wanted to say hello from Long Island NY !
I look forward to all the information and stories on here . View attachment 83988

New here from Washington State
Current setup:
2014 Kia Sorento equipped with Smittybilt Overlander XL RTT
Not much experience overlanding but looking to learn and find routes, maps and camping spots along the way. Is there a good resource that shows local areas and difficulty of terrain?

Hi everyone,

New guy from Milwaukee. I did a full intro in this section a bit ago, but wanted to share my potential adventure rig. I think it’s going to be fabulously capable! 2011 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman. Just about to turn 100K on the odometer, so I think it’s time to let it live the life it’s always wanted!

New member here in North Carolina. I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with some small mods. I previously have had a 99 4runner and 94 XJ (hence the username). I've only had the grand since December and looking to take it on some adventures. I currently have 4 weekend trips planned in the next 3 months.

Hey I'm from Charlotte. New to forum tonight. I'll post a pic of rig in coming days. Currently driving an LR4 that is in the middle of a build out. Novice/Moderate Overlander. Last Summer the family and I drove from Rapid City, SD to Central CA, hitting the National Parks a lot of the trails in-between. 2,400 miles in 12 days! Working on a trip thru the Smokies for the Spring.

Hello from San Diego, California!!
My daily driver is a '16 GMC Sierra A/T.
Overlanding experience background??... I enjoy camping, the smell of fresh air, and hot coffee on a cold morning... I stumbled upon "overlanding" a couple of months ago. Since, I've learned "overlanding" is not necessarily the action of, but the community it has. Yes, we all love the outdoors, but i think we all enjoy teaching/helping each other on and off the trails as well. Anyways, I'm OB member 15604, safe travels, see y'all in the trails!

Welcome. Nice to see another full size join.

 

[WRTRobb]

Hello from Colorado, my name's Robb and I daily my 05 Mercedes G. It's been... a project. But it was a smokin' deal used, and sorted as it is I can get anywhere. I grew up backpacking in the Pacific Northwest, and learned to drive on dirt living near Ouray a decade ago, bashing around in my old Explorer. These days I'm struggling to keep the wife and daughter comfy, just enjoying being a few hours from Utah. Growing up in the rain is probably why I love it so much in the desert, as I think of it.

 

[Peter Fowler]

Hello everyone
Thank you for the welcome. New as of today. My name is Peter Fowler and I'm from Halifax NS Canada. I drive a 2013 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4. It has a 3 inch lift with 33's duel battery w/solar and I haul a combi-camp tent trail for now. Pop up camper is slowly in the works (planning stages). My wife, dog and myself love to explore the not so driven trail and camp out in the wild, off the grid.
Pictures too follow once I'm home on my computer

Hello from Vancouver, BC! :)

Brand new to overlanding; just bought a '02 WJ and looking to get it all set up for summer trips. Would love any suggestions on what to do and where to go!

New member from the Bay Area, building a 2009 Subaru Forester. I'm here for inspiration, ideas, and I'll try to help out if I can!

 

[CTeamPoke]

My name is Lee and I am in Dallas, TX.

2018 Tacoma double cab.

New to overlanding but not new to camping. I love being outside and was introduced to this concept by a buddy that has a pretty sweet trailer rig that he pulls around with his 03 Jeep Wrangler. So I decided to hop in and went with the Tacoma.

Excited to learn more about the community and hopefully participate in some trips moving forward!

If I lived up there I’d take it to Banff and do some exploring!

 

[Packtive Misfits]

Hey there everyone! Hello from Tampa, FL! I've been on only 2 overlanding trips but they've been across country with my wife and 4 dogs. Right now I'm using my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU and a 2017 Runaway trailer that I've made offroad ready. Next trip we are thinking of heading to the northern states to check them out.
