Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[TheBronze]

Welcome from Reno. There is a Ham group that meets via echolink every Friday at 5: 30 Pacific time. They have a thread you can go to and ask about info. Also, there are a whole bunch of us shutter bugs in OB. There is also a photography thread on the main forums thread page. If you have any questions, you can contact the regional diretor @Narbob or your local member rep @Magic Mike. If you come over to Reno, make sure to say hi.

Thanks Happy! I'll look into that. I still have some work to do on this old Jeep before I can get too serious. But it's gonna happen for sure!

Hello, I'm Brian and I'm brand new to the Overlanding concept. I recently retired after almost thirty years in law enforcement. I'm proud of the work I did, but I'm as equally glad that its behind me! I have always dreamed of traveling to remote locations, exploring things that are seldom seen and photographing them. I also want to practice my other passion from remote locations and that is ham radio. I recently bought a 1992 YJ Wrangler that is in the process of being rebuilt. I plan to keep it pretty basic as I'm not really a hard core off-roader. My only real experience in off-roading was driving an old M151 Jeep in the forests of Germany while in the Army. I'm hoping to learn a lot here about off-roading and Jeeps, and maybe help others that are interested in photography or ham radio.

Hey Everyone, new to the forum (obviously) and to the overlanding scene. I recently bought a 2016 Toyota 4Runner Trail. Excited to begin my overland journey and raise my son in the outdoors (not literally lol.) I previously owned an 88 gmc 1500, which was completely built for the mud.

I am new to Overland Bound. Just got my first Jeep and would like to get into overlanding and camping with my family. I have some friends that rock crawl but I would rather go on trails and find great places than sit for hours trying to get over one rock.

Novice overlander, tent camping in past

I am looking forward to finding some like minded people/families and go on some trips.

New to Overland Bound, been catching up on many of the YouTube video’s. I live in Eastern EU (Kosovo) small developing country, not many overlanders here, and not too many places to go that I know of. If anyone has been here or is close to us, would love to start learning this community. I have a 2002 Nissan Patrol that honestly needs some work. But I do have a rooftop tent. Other wise it is pretty stock. And has some 4x4 issues, however I have not found anyone here that can work on it.

Hello All,

My name is Ryan and obviously brand new to the forum.
Currently based out of Las Vegas, NV
My truck is a 2014 Silverado that I'm just starting to outfit
Definitely a novice to the "overland" world, but not to the outdoors. I grew up in somewhat northern CA and spent a lot of time hiking and snowboarding around Tahoe. Also spent the last 9 years living in North Carolina near Charlotte.

Hello all!

I'm Keith and I just joined the forum today. Looks like I'm to incude:

Picture: I didn't come that well prepared. lol I'll add one later
Location: I live in central Illinois near Peoria.
Experience: I used to do a little four wheeling as a younger guy. Had a 1985 toyota pickup with a small lift, tires, roll cage in the cab, etc. Was a fun little truck but underpowered for the tires! As far as overloading, I got really into ADV motorcycle riding a few years ago. I rode the mid atlantic BDR last year and have done many trips riding and camping off of my bike. My favorite was a trip last fall to ride the alps with a bunch of friends. We rode in Switzerland, France, and Italy. I had a lot of fun on the bike but was becoming more and more interested in back country travel, and my wife was worried I would drop the bike on myself and be stranded until help came along. We had a pretty bad bike wreck a few years ago and long story short she just never warmed up to me riding the bike again so over the winter I called it quits and sold my 2017 R1200GS Adventure that I had pretty well built up. I did a build thread on it at ADVrider.com under the title "meet gus". I absolutely loved that bike but I know it was the right decision for my family. I'm pretty excited to do these trips and be able to bring my wife and or kids along on some of them!
Rig: I just bought a 2010 4Runner trail.

Hello from California. I'm 37 and relatively new to over landing. But really looking forward to get out in the field. I previously owned a 2015 Volkswagen golf sportwagen tdi but due to limited space and limited road clearance I decided to get in to a 2019 Ford ranger fx4 crew cab so I can get a small tent trailer and start taking my kids outdoors. I'm looking forward to outfit it for the wilderness

Hey Everyone!
1) Don't have a picture at the moment unfortunately (Truck is in Spokane Washington and I'm in New Mexico at the moment)
2) Currently living near Spokane, WA but will be moving to Arizona at the end of October
3) 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 24v Cummins Diesel with S&B Cold Air Intake, 4 in straight pipe turbo-back, Road Armor Stealth front bumper, Smarty tuner, Edge Insight CTS2 monitor, Fass Titanium 95 gph lift pump, 265/70 R17 Cooper S/T Maxx tires, Newly rebuilt transmission, in bed toolbox
4) Novice expirience when it comes to overlanding.
I've always loved the outdoors (hunting, camping, hiking, etc.) and have decided an overland build would suit me perfectly for what i want out of my truck. Been outdoors all my life and have done a fair bit of off-roading but am no expert by any means. Been looking around on forums like this to get ideas for my build and would love to learn all I can about overlanding.
