Hello Overland Bound folks. My name is Matt and I live in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Long time camper, off roader, gear head etc. I am an Air Force Veteran, a public school facilities administrator, an active member (# 347) of Copperstate Cruisers here in Arizona, a member of the Toyota Land Cruiser Association and the proud owner of a 1995 FZJ80. Been a long time troll of Overland Bound so I thought I'd finally join as I always find lots of useful information here from like minded folks.

Hey everyone, I’m Frank. I live in the San Diego area and I’m relatively new to the whole overlanding scene. I have lots of experience backpacking and being outdoors, and I enjoy working on cars, which is what drew me to overlanding. I’m currently serving in the Marines, and my current vehicle is a 2006 Jeep Liberty. I think that about sums it up, I look forward to learning from the wealth of knowledge and experience in this community, thanks.

Hey all! My name is Cody and I live in central PA. I have traveled the world hiking, surviving, and training as an Infantryman in the Marine Corps. However, I am new to the Overlanding community. Shortly after getting out of the military I bought myself a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ) and set my sights on using it to explore and camp. I hope to learn a lot about the joys of overlanding from the folks here.

Hello Everyone!
We are very new to Overlanding. We are awaiting the arrival of our vehicle so I don't have a picture of it yet. We currently live in the Pacific Northwest about an hour from the Canadian border and close to the ferry to the San Juan Islands.
Our rig is a 2020 GMC Savana 2500 van with a Quigley 4x4.
We're hoping to start our overlanding travels full time later this year in Australia. Still working out the details on how, etc. We have a caravan being built in Brisbane at the moment.
We are both retired and hoping to finally do some traveling that is not restricted by vacation times with jobs! It's going to be a great time and we look forward to meeting many of you along the way!

Hi Frank welcome to the OB community. A Marine, living in San Diego area, makes me think you're stationed at Camp Pendleton. Thank you for your service.
Welcome @DBAR
Any plans to head to Bald Eagle State

I don't have any plans to go there yet. One of the reasons I decided to join this community was to get some ideas for cool places to visit. There are a ton of cool hiking trails around me but very few allow vehicles or camping.

Hello everyone!
My name is Howard and I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I'm a long time off-roader though I sold my Jeep a couple of years ago. I'm retired FROM the Air Force but still working Civil Service FOR the Air Force. I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 that I am slowly fixing up to do some overlanding with. I also ride a 2017 BMW GSA that I ride everywhere and anywhere!, off-road or on (more on than off :) I also love camping and the outdoors.
I look forward to learning new things from this forum!
Thanks!

Hello forum members. Name is Jason hailing from Pacifica, CA, and I have pretty much finished my build on my 2010 Wrangler Rubicon. Not much to do when it comes a electric sway bar disconnect, dual Dana 44s with e-lockers! Just a lift, wheels, tires, winch, and you're all set. Completed a trip through the Rubicon trail, solo through the spring melt. Just added a top notch iKamper RTT and built an overland trailer... voila, its an RV for my family.

No, not yet. No diff lock on mine.
Actually I am trying to get rid of rust.
Member III
Rusty they are ;-)
Still SYNCROs keep their value extremely. So there is a point to rescue even most rotten one.
If U need anything for this plan - let me know. Most of the panels and parts are produced here in Poland and cost like nothing...

The raptor is such a fun vehicle to own. It’s a sports car disguised in a truck body. I’ve been really impressed with the echoboost. It’s got gobs of power and is a blast on the trails. I came from a 2017 F-250 with the power stroke (925ft lbs of torque) and I gotta say I don’t miss the power at all.

First Post - Happy to begin this new adventure. I know nothing about overlanding, so I'm looking for a mentor in the Texas area. My wife and I will be retiring in a few years and we plan to overland in the southwest BLM and parklands.

Anyone here have a Extreme Hiker Trailer? I'm having one built and looking for advice based on your experiences.

Welcome to the OB community Scott. This is the place to be for overlanding information.
