Hello My name is Jeremiah Barba. Really excited to be part of what looks like a great community with lots of info. Found it on YouTube and now I’m stoked to be a member.
I am a newbie to overlanding and have been already learning a lot on the posts as well as videos. So Thank you!!
My rig is a 2018 Toyota Tundra TRD 4x4 sport. Trying to get my rig right where I want it. And it is slowly getting there. Haha! Hope to meet some of you soon on one of these meet ups or on a trail somewhere.
Thanks for having me!!

I have a ‘94 Toyota Land Cruiser without lockers. That I received for a decent price and counts right pass it up about 4 years ago. I live in Las Vegas NV try to get out as much as possible. However, like everyone, work and life keep me from getting out as often as I would like. I originally built her to sell. The further I got into her I realized I didn’t want to sell her eventually made her reliable and made her my daily driver. A 2-3” OME lift. Corbeau Moab Seats, and more recently arb front and rear bumpers.

I’m fairly new to overlanding. But love to get out as often as I can.

Hi All,
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, but originally come from New Zealand (30 years in California). Been overlanding for about 8-9 years now in a 2010 FJ Cruiser with an Adventure Trailer, mostly in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. Always seem to be planning the next adventure, and looking forward to learning more from this community.

Hey all, member #16829 out of Leavenworth, KS, here! Looking to adventure and learn, and share as much as I can with ya'll. Currently finishing up my rig, a 2004 Toyota 4Runner Limited.

I'll be frequenting Kansas Rocks with my local Toyota group, actually will he there this Saturday, the 27th.

Hello all! New member here. Lebanon Oregon, in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Happy to be here.
Hi @Bradywan and welcome to Overland Bound! 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. In fact, the Willamette Valley area is a happening area thanks to your Member Reps, @Roy & Kristin Zirpoli. In fact, there is an camping event coming up this weekend in the Tillamook State Forest [link] that you might be interested in. Most of our events are 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.
