Hello! New member here. I’ve been lurking and watching this community for a while now. I am glad to finally be a member! I currently have a 2018 Ram Power Wagon and have big plans for it in the future! I am currently outside of Austin, TX and am looking forward to getting to know other overlanders and learn from them!

Hello everyone! I joined at Overland Expo West 2019. I had been thinking about it since last year's Overland Expo and after watching MANY Overland Bound and others videos I did Mbr No.18617. Looking forward to meeting you all on the trails one day. I drive a pretty much stock 2007 FJ Cruiser I call the Battlestar Talon or Talon for short, which we bought in 2017. My wife and I have only done a few runs and 3 camping trips so far. I want to just get on a dirt road and see what is out there. That is our motto: "Let's see what's out there!" I have some armor on the bottom and did the scuba mod and mostly small mods to make the Talon uniquely mine. I am getting ready to go to the FJ Summit next month (Anyone going?). Really looking forward to that!

Glad to be a part of the community. I've been watching OB youtube for a few years now. I have road tripped and camped for most of my life but most was never off any main roads.

Soon to be living in Columbus, GA
I have a 2006 Tacoma TRD sport
I would say I have a moderate level of experience.

Hello everyone! New member here. Member number 18389 to be exact.

Location:
I live in the Ft. Worth side of the D/FW metroplex.

Rig:
2007 Ford F250 6.0 diesel 4x4. I leveled the front and put Nitto Terra Grappler G2s on it because I liked the look. Got a hold of some hand me down KC Hilites and mounted them to my grille guard. Otherwise, it's bone stock.

Experience:
Total newbie. Grew up camping, did bous scouts, and even went so far as a week of primitive camping with a group of friends. Loved it. But that was 25 years ago. Fast forward to now and my youngest son and I are camping again and want to get some more adventures under our belt. Our current goal is to start small and work up to BBNP next Spring Break.

Been reading a lot and researching like mad. Looking forward to getting out more.

Hi Overland Bound, my name is Jason. I have been off roading and motorcycle riding most of my life. As I grew up I relaized being a full time "house cat" was not satisfying enough for me, I felt that I needed to be out in the world to have a better connection/understanding of life and environment we exist within. I chose to live in my vehicle fultime at age 22 so I can acheive stronger finacial stability and have more adventure in my life. I recently decided to change my overland vehicle of choice and sold my Jeep Cherokee XJ to purchace and build up a 2003 Model Range Rover Sport. The build is still in its youth but so far I am very happy I made the change. Although Rovers have their reputation, I refuse to allow that to stop me from building the vehicle to be a king of the trails. I see the Range Rover as a catalistic vehicle of its time for inovation, helping pave the way for off road enthusiasts like us. My plan is to use this stock model as a principle starting point, and upgrade/replace any components that may not be up to modern standards. I am a mechanic/engeneer at heart and in mind, so for me building a vehicle is a far more attractive decision opposed to purchasing a new one for a large sum of money. Dont get me wrong all these modern on road/off raod factory hybirds are amazing works of art and I admire them greatly. I would just prefer to spend that money on building my own machine to run with the big dogs at hopefully half the price. lol I discovered Overland Bound and several other like minded online accounts during my research and was beyond excited to see that the movment has become somthing so massive. I have also launched my own media platform in hopes to help bridge my following to communities like Overland Bound. In my free time I enjoy practicing audio engineering and music production. My goal is to be a sort of intersection from those rehlms to these, and hopefully spark as much inspiration as possible. I am a huge admirer of Michael and his team for their success and detail in their project. When I discovered this forum becoming a member and getting behind his movement was a no brainer. I look forward to getting more involved as my build pogresses, as of now I am parked so I can do some work on my projects and get ready to get back out on the road.

Safe travels,

Cheers!

Hey there, new register from Salt Lake City, UT. Driving a 2000 Toyota 4Runner and pulling a small utility trailer. I'm a lifetime camper and Scouter with a couple years of driving trails. Working on building up the rig and trailer on a budget for overloading weekend-warrior style with the family. Having a blast learning and building as I go. Cheers!

(Note: the camping image below is on family property just off the main road in. Always travel and camp on designated trails!)

Hello Everyone,
Super excited to finally join the Community after 10+ years of wanting to get more involved.

Location:
I'm from the Austin, TX area (Georgetown)

Rig:
2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (stock for now...)

Experience:
Being relatively new to Overlanding, I'll be combing the forum for knowledge and ideas. I've done plenty of car-based tent camping with friends, but have limited myself to local areas.
I love the idea of pushing further out to anywhere I can drive and accessing places that are not as commonly available.
