Hello all,
I am John from Haddonfield NJ
We have had a 1999 Discovery 1 which we have been restoring and upgrading for the trails. We get out to the Island Beach State Park once in a while to fish and we are looking to find new trails in the pines and meet up with others that are in the area. We attend a few Land Rover events each year (Muddy Chef Challenge and Winter Romp) would like to see what else we can add to our calendar! I have an instagram account with a bunch of pictures of the trucks that I owned and the adventures we have been on. Rescue.Rover is the account name. Thanks for the add, and look forward in meeting up on the trails..

Afternoon everyone.

I'm located just north of Chicago, a little south of the Wisconsin border. I'm new to overlanding, and new to off roading. Watching all the videos, and reading some of the stories here the desire to get out and explore is strong.
I picked up a 2002 Jeep grand Cherokee about a year ago and I've slowly been going through it bit by bit. I finished the 4 inch lift not long ago.
My first trip is probably going to be the Trans Wisconsin adventure trail. View attachment 120009View attachment 120010

Hello everyone! My name is Brandon and I live in central Oregon.
I have 2012 Silverado crew cab. I'm use to rock crawling and jeeps builds, so a full size over lander is very new to me.
cant wait to build it up a bit and go exploring

Hello Everyone,
Current Location: Groton, New York
Current Rig: 2018 Jeep JKU
Experience: Novice
I am just getting started in the overland experience. I drove tractor trailer for 23 years and loved being out on the road. I am now semi retired, so I have decided to get back out to see the places i could not get to with a big rig. I have built the jeep up enough to go to places like Uwharrie National forest and Gorge Washington State forest .I am looking forward to meeting others with the desire to live out on the trails away from the main stream of "the rat race".

Hi! My name is Jessica. I live in Surprise AZ and adventure in my 1994 Toyota 4Runner I just purchased in June. I’m fairly new to overlanding but recently did the Alpine Loop and a few other trails in Colorado. I try to go camping as often as I can!
Welcome to overland Bound, don't forget to check out the 4Runner registry

Hi!
My name's Jeanna, I'm from the east coast of Florida. I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma. I have lots of camping experience and have outfitted the truck for the past year that I've had it to deal with camping, however I've never gone trail riding (2WD, kind of a garage queen) but I'm looking forward to going off the grid sometime this winter.

Thanks for having me, really excited to get to know some of y'all!

Hello Everyone!
My name is Pavel, I'm from Russia. More precisely, from its middle part, Siberia.

I have a Subaru Forester SF5 1997! It still has few modifications, but this is enough for me to start.
(And yes, in all the photos there is one car. I just put the body parts from forester 2001)

I am new to overlanding. Therefore, I do not travel far from civilization (200-300 km), but almost every weekend I get out into the forest and lakes/rivers!

I like this community and I am happy to join!
Welcome to Overland Bound Pavel

Greetings Everyone,

Pleased to have discovered this group. My name is JT Pedersen, residing with my wife Kimberly, in Canton, Michigan, about 15 minutes east of Ann Arbor, western fringes of the Detroit Metro area.

About 4 years ago, a 2015 Jeep JKU Rubicon arrived. We still had kids in the house, so we spent a couple months talking about a name. I've never named one of my vehicles or motorcycles before. For the Jeep, it just seemed to be calling-out or a name. And, so Stitch was born.

We're without kids (in the house) now, and Kimberly and I have been having an absolute blast exploring with Stitch. For me, getting Stitch was less about rock crawling and seeing what I could drag myself over, and more about the places we could go that we otherwise wouldn't. Along the way, I roped my brother (down in Austin) into the experience. He runs his own JKU Rubi. He, his wife, Kimberly, and I have started doing our own trips.

Experience? There's always someone with more...I can let them decide<g>. We're not new, certainly far from 'most experienced.' We are evolving. We've wheeled as far south as Missouri, up to the UP, west to Colorado, and points between. I like to think of myself as stable, applying common sense, with mechanical know-how.

Happy to be here,
JT...

Hey everyone, my name is Hunter and im from outside of Nashville, TN. Just recently picked up a 2017 tacoma sr5 and have been wanting to get back into "overlanding" for some time, however my vehicle at the time was a limiting factor.
I've actually been overlanding since before it was really a household term. Growing up my parents had a lance slide in camper they hauled in dad's old dodge cummins and we went everywhere. Fast forward to my young adulthood and i was camping out of vehicles while in the Marine Corps, constantly setting up camp and moving out before the sun came up.
Already finding a ton of great info on the forum and site. Look forward to meeting with members in my AO.
