Good morning Welcome Forum

For starters my name is Nick and I drive an 2016 Toyota 4Runner.

I don’t have much experience overlanding but I’m excited to learn about overlanding and hopefully learn about some hidden trails out here in West Texas (Odessa/Midland).

I do some amateur photography work with Guns, Rigs, and Gear. If you’re into stuff like that I do have an Instagram page it’s @lord_ _hotdog.

Super excited to be apart of the Overland Bound community!

Welcome!! Love the rig. Let me know if your ever up for a Hill Country run!

 

[Jim SoG]

Hello, new member from Nevada City, California.

I'd say I am somewhere in the middle of noob and expert in overlanding. I have done quite a bit of vehicle based camping throughout my life and want to do more and more the older I get. I spend alot of time looking at maps and youtube to get ideas of great places to go. That's where I ran accross Overland Bound and after watching countless videos decided I should probably suck it up and become a member.

I drive a 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser. Nearly bone stock with the exception of 285/75/65 BFG KO2's, Cruisin Off Road Rock Sliders , and SPC Heavy Duty Lower Links. Picture is before the sliders.

Welcome!

Hi all, newbie from Texas. I love outdoors and have given my wife the overland bug. SView attachment 107705View attachment 107706View attachment 107707he has been shopping like crazy for new equipment and booking trips left and right. I started out building my overland rig as a mid travel "pre runner" back in high school. When I graduated and started college reality set in and i wanted to build something more versatile. I took my 99 ram daily driver and began building bumpers, roof racks and outfitting it for general overloading using guidelines from online forums like this. As she sits today 99 ram 1500 2wd laramie, 4.56 gears,5" front lift using spindles and springs, rear 2" lift using factory blocks from 4wd, bilstein 5100 series shocks, dual batteries, 17 gallon fresh water tank, 285 75 16 tires, 3/4 ton brakes front and rear, limited slip diff, roof rack, bed rack, front and rear bumpers, and lighting systems. Soon I would like to add new rear suspension, additional lights, solar panel setup, winch, larger rtt, and a fridge/freezer. I look forward to seeing everyone out there.

 

[The_Driver]

Hi all my name is Seth and I live in Brownsburg, IN. I drive a 2006 Toyota Tundra SR5 DW edition. I'm a home daily semi truck driver and I am looking to start overlanding. I got interested in overlanding when I came across expedition overland's youtube channel.

 

[Hardcore Daily]

Hello! My name is Tim. I live in Peoria AZ, and I just bought a 2011 Nissan Xterra last month so the wife and I can get out in nature more and escape to cooler weather! My off-road experience is pretty extensive, I have been building hard core rock crawlers and off-road race cars for 15 years. I have raced all over the mid West, western states and down into mexico. Professional mud trucks, Jeeps, Trophy trucks, Ultra4 cars in all classes. I have drove, codrove, put crew, crew chief for all levels of teams. Looking to slow down and bring the wife along to enjoy the scenery of all the things the world has to offer. Started to gather lift parts and will be building bumpers this winter, but I have almost completed my communications and navigation. Look forward to getting out there and meeting some of you.

Hello everyone.

I’ve been an avid camper and fisherman all my life. Before kids, I was really in to rock crawling. Now that my girls are getting older, I want to introduce them to the outdoor life and enjoy family time with them. I have a few local (Los Angeles) friends that are Overlanders.

My current rig is a 2018 Ram 1500 crew cab. Only mods so far are N-Fab side steps and a soon to arrive Diamondback HD cover.

If anyone in the area ever wants to meet up for any fun trips I’m totally in! Thanks all! View attachment 107750

Welcome MDain! It’s awesome that your getting your kids into exploring the outdoors. My dad was an avid camper when we were younger it was the best times of my childhood.

Only recently discovered overland and got the bug bad! Currently shopping for a rig…

Hi everyone, glad to have found this community! I love camping and getting outside and much as possible but over the last few years life has gotten in the way of much adventuring. Recently my partner and I were able to clear some major hurdles and are excited to actually get out and explore again. I used to own a '96 Tacoma but that has been my only truck. We recently made the decision to sell my beloved Audi Avant and buy a proper truck that can do the duty of a tow vehicle and adventure rig. Looking forward to learning and gaining inspiration from y'all.

Welcome! Love the LR3! How to make that my next rig (when my P38 runs out). Make sure to make sure to check out your local region's forums for events and meetups. Might also want to check out the Rally Point system. Way to go for getting the Fam outside! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up at @Gabriel Bozeman.

Welcome! Good luck with finding a rig! If you're in the market for a new truck, the Gladiator is looking pretty awesome!
