Hello!

I am new to Overlanding. I just purchased a used 2017 Ram 2500 Hemi two months ago with the intent of pulling a toyhauler around. I watched a YouTube video about Overlanding and was hooked. My truck is still stock with a stock 4x4 Offroad package.
I attended Overland Expo East a few weeks back and met some really great people. I live in north Florida, south jacksonville area. I can’t wait to get going. I am also hoping to meet someone that can give me some suggestions on where to go locally and how to engage others with similar interests.

Hi everyone,

I'm a friend of CR-Venturer, and he sent me a link to his description of our trip up to Kitsault, BC, Canada.
I'm essentially a novice. I had a Baja bug that I used to drive all over BC 30 years ago, but then I got into sports cars and motorcycles. I recently bought a 2006 Hummer H3 and I've started heading out there again. Glad to be here!

My girlfriend and I are new to Overland Bound and fairly new to overlanding in general. We just moved to Tucson from central IL. We have a 4 Runner and enjoy hiking, biking, camping, and traveling. We’ve been out a few times and have a lot more planned. Anxious to meet some like-minded people and make new friends in our area.View attachment 124453

Hello James (@Mechanized), welcome from Oklahoma. I dig the name, a while back I jokingly came up with a name for my "overland" social media of Mechanized Overland.

Hi,
Paul checking in from Eastern, CT. Have a '20 JL Unlimited Rubicon. Am definitely a novice at overlanding, but excited to get involved in the community. Went out on a "wheeling" trip with one of the local clubs, but the simple main trail we were on was about as hard a trail as I want to run. Looking for more of a mild offroad exploring community to connect with, where the the people connections and adventures are more important than how big a boulder I can climb over.

Hey all. Adam and I guess Im the most current FNG (sure that will change momentarily). Based out of NJ, but my family has had a place in Southern VT, just outside Manchester, since I was a kid. My wife, and now new son, are up there 2 weekends a month, along with our yellow Lab.

Just picked up a 2019 Ford Expedition FX4 longbody, so won't be doing anything super technical, but I got room to spare :) Ton's of experience riding the trails of VT on snowmobiles for the past 25 years or so. Some quads too.
