Hi everyone.
My name is Bill and I hail from the southern part of Australia in the Barossa Valley. Some people may know this as a well known wine producing region of the great land down under.
I drive a 2012 SH Forester which I have only recently down sized into after 7 years with my dual cab VW Amarok.

The little Forester will be undergoing a few modifications for the adventures to come. Hopefully I will come across a few more Aussies on here to share some adventures with. I have my 12 year old camper trailer which I built most of myself. A little rustic, but it works. Sadly it is a little more than I think the Forester should be hauling so I think a new version should be coming along soon.



Looking forward to spending some time on the forum

Hey everyone. Very new to overlanding but not to dirt. I’m into backpacking but looking for something new that I can do with my husband. We’re on California’s Central Coast. Would love to hear about some easy/ intro trails. Thanks!

Welcome to Overland Bound @Jeremiah Johnson! Thank you for your service. It's not too often that I come across people from Dallas, but a co-worker and good friend of mine is actually from there. That is a fantastic area with lots of access to fun outdoor adventures. There is a lot going on in your area, so I am sure you will find lots of awesome people to have fun with. @Roy & Kristin Zirpoli are the member reps for your area and always have events cooking, so I recommend hearing over to the US NorthWest Region forum [link] and checking out the posts there. As events are planned, they are usually published on our Rally Point system [link] so that is a place to check periodically to see what is happening.

I look forward to meeting you out there someday. Until then, if you need anything please feel free to message me here @Jedi.

Look forward to meeting you soon! We have a very active Facebook page- Willamette Valley Overland Bound- come find us!

Hello, my name is Tom and I am new here [emoji1] We live in NW Ohio. I have always wanted to build an overland rig and now is the time. Just bought a 2015 ram 2500 aka Black Betty. The wife and I are looking forward to getting our 3 kids, 6 and under, outdoors and exploring.

Will be starting off mostly stock with only dual exhaust and some slightly more aggressive tires. I bought a used ranch style bumper I will be modifying for better clearance and a 12k winch i have. I will be building my own bed rack as well. Our smittybuilt xl tent and annex will be arriving tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it together in the next 4-6 weeks and hit the road.

I have been enjoying this forum since I found it and look forward to contributing, and borrowing, many ideas. I joined immediately and cant wait to throw the emblems on the truck. View attachment 91643View attachment 91644

Thank you for the add. Picked up a 2019 Colorado ZR2. First off-road type vehicle and look forward to taking out to trails and off the grid.

Welcome to Overland Bound!
the Colorado is a very capable rig, we have had several of them on our trips with no issues at all. Great choice!
