Hello! This seems like a great resource to gain some knowledge, wisdom and understanding of the magic called over-landing! When Snowageddon happened in the lovely Northewest recently I found myself falling in love with overlanding. My rig is a 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad with some simple mods however more to come with time. Can anyone lead me to the regional ambassador for the Puget Sound area?

Thank you and enjoy the trail!View attachment 87491
Welcome, @Kitt, to Overland Bound. I'm glad you survived the mighty Snowmageddon! I'm sure that little bit of white was no problem for your Taco. I know my Jeep loved the winter weather. This area, the US Northwest Region, has a great number of members with all kinds of knowledge and experience in overlanding. I recommend heading over to our regional forums [link] so that you can get to know your neighbors and join in on the conversations. I am currently in the planning for our next meetup, so keep an eye on the Rally Point system [link] as well, since that is the tool we use to organize our events.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to message me @Jedi. I look forward to seeing you out there in the near future!

Hi everyone! Joined yesterday and am glad to finally find an actual "community" where the emphasis is on the outdoors and exploring vice how much you spent on your ride. Glad to be a member.

Hi Joel, Mike here. I'm also in Georgetown. Welcome.
 
Howdy! Am a very new beginner member who got interested in Overlanding after watching some youtube videos. I was an avid camper as a kid, but as I grew older and started a family it's just been put off. I'd like to give my kids adventures like the ones I used to have.

Location: South Carolina (Charlotte NC area)
Rig: 2005 Jeep Wrangler X (Willys Edition)
Experience: none, but hoping to get some this spring & summer!

I’m Isaiah and I live in Auburn, CA.

I just bought a 2014 WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee, “for my wife”. I’ll post some photos later so that we can all see it before and after. I’m planning on doing either the RRO or the Rough Country lift and getting better and bigger tires along with a rocket box and some bike racks for camping.

I’m not experienced enough to do the rubicon just yet, but I have spent a fair bit of time on the trails growing up in Durango, CO.

I’m excited to get some help from all of you, and maybe help if I can.
