Hey Nicole, hey David, welcome to the OB forum! Membership might be something to think about, too, if you like what you run into. I've found it to be worth it. Enjoy!

Very Nice Subi, use to have a 2006 STI and loved it. Welcome to Overland Bound. As @Kent R stated I am one of your U.S. West Member Representatives. Please feel free to contact me at anytime, if you have any questions or concerns. You can also contact our Regional Director @Narbob, or your other Member Representative @PapaDave if the need arises.

Be sure to browse through the New member threads for some very good information and it will also help you when navigating the OB website.

Check out Rally Points and the Calendar for monthly meet-ups, trail runs and trainings. These are great places to meet other like minded people.

Also in March there is a scheduled Mojave Road trip planned. This trip is scheduled for March 12-16th and it is a combination trail run and trail clean-up. This will be a great place to meet a lot of new members because it has been designed for this purpose. If you have never been on the Mojave Road it is not a hard trail, but it is super beautiful. You can find all the details on Rally Points.

Look forward to meeting you out on the trail.

Thats awesome, I actually traded my WRX in for this Crosstrek. In my head I was thinking I could do a lot more fun legal things in the Crosstrek than I could do in the wrx lol. I'll definitely check out those threads. Appreciate it!

Hello everyone, glad to be here
I'm a novice at this, I've been trailing before and I'm hooked.
Currently dont have a rig, I was going to outfit my '94 pathfinder but the 2 piece driveshaft isent trust worthy and its 2wd so I'm looking at 2 vehicles I hope yall could help me out with choosing.
I'm located in central Michigan and travel around the state often to explore new places, hope to meet nearby members to trail and explore with!

welcome to the club! just dont get lost in this place. its easy to do lol

I'm new here and just getting started with overlanding. Reading alot on this forum and getting excited about some trips. View attachment 137860 I have a stock 2002 Xterra. Working on basic maintenance items currently.

I am new to the overlanding world and find myself doing more preparing than actually doing. Although the preparing and building the rig is my new hobby, I find myself needing to actually get out into nature. Most of my life I have camped, from tents to rvs. And now my wife and I, along with the kids, travel while staying in VRBO homes. Even renting homes to stay places is very nice, I still find myself needing to get back to the basics. Over complicating the overlanding concept is my downfall as it seems others struggle with it too. Just get out and do it. I love your message. Thank you for your inspiration.

Hey @MGalvinized! You live in a beautiful part of the country. Wish I could spend more time over there. I'm in Whidbey Island!

Keep an eye out this summer, as I plan on doing a trip over there. Would love to have you join us! We also do monthly meetups/campouts each month in the Hwy 20 area of the Cascades. Might be a fun weekend trip!

Here are a few tips to get you started:
-Check out the local region's forums for events and meetups in your area.
-Check out the Rally Point system and the Member Map for events and other people around you. Super helpful.
-Our region also has a FB page.

If you need anything, feel free to PM me or tag me in the forums at @Gabriel Bozeman.

Cheers!
