Hello, My name is Dan, i am i guess a beginner to overlanding outside of Michigan, i have been allover my own State Canoeing and ATV and doing weekend trips but now that this Overlanding has blown up i am fully on board. I am now on my second rig our first was a 98 jeep ZJ with a Smittybilt tent and all kinds of diy done to that which My wife and i went all through Mi upper peninsula, as well as PA and up in the Adirondack's, we had a blast exploring with that jeep
View attachment 138444

so after many hours of watching (Lifestyle Overland), (Venture4wd) and many others i made the choice to jump into the Toyota Taco world and i have to say i love this truck, i also went with the 23Zero walkabout and i have nothing bad to say about this tent, it is awesome
View attachment 138445
I have been 2 years all over Michigan and have had a lot of people take pictures of my rig because nobody has seen a rooftop tent before so needless to say Overlanding has not really made its way into Michigan ... Yet, however i do know of KOAR 2020 that i already booked my days off for so check that out if you have time
i am starting to film more and i love to see all the youtube content on Overlanding along with all the beautiful country we have off the pavement,

again i am still a beginner and i am still trying to figure out Gaia as far as how to download other peoples maps so i can get out there and see other States
i hope joining this Overland Bound community will help me answer a lot of questions i have as far as good spots to explore and tech to use
Thanks and excited to be a member

Hi! I ended up buying a 91 FJ80 Land Cruiser this year and am looking into various aspects of overland/4x4 trails.

I started a build thread over on mud:

forum.ih8mud.com

Builds - bcomnes' 1991 3FE FJ80 Build

Here is my build thread for a 1991 3FE FJ80 Land Cruiser. I'll be using this thread mainly as a build and maintenance log (at least for the halfway informative and interesting stuff), re-documenting my questions I have along the way and information I found helpful to address those questions...
forum.ih8mud.com forum.ih8mud.com

The overland bound community looks like a great resource as well and happy to be here.

Hello everyone! New to overlanding but no so much offroading. It's been almost two decades since I had my YJ, but now I'm in a 2011 4Runner and I couldn't be happier. Considering I live in PA (south central), there's not a lot of "real" overlanding to be done around here, but I'm happy to simply start car camping, if you will, with the 4R as the focus of things, versus just "how I got there"

My names Tyler, I'm currently live in Graham Washington
I drive a 2019 diesel chevy zr2
I'd say I'm right between novice and experienced when it comes to offroading. I've done a few trips with the truck so far, including half of the WABDR. hope to meet some locals! FB_IMG_1566829101315.jpg

Hi everyone, my name is Brian and I live in Palmdale, CA. I just bought a 2019 Tundra so that I can get back into enjoying nature again. My experience in the Great outdoors is a bit of a mixed one. I am a trained tracker for the Sheriff's Department and did that for five years before stopping, I own a 1982 FJ40 that I have owned since 1984 and would drive it on any dirt road or trail that I would find just to see where it would take me and I used to do a lot of surfing, backpacking and fly fishing. It has been way too long now since I did any of those things and the hill’s are calling me back and I must go. So let’s get together and do some exploring, fly fishing, camping and enjoying nature as best we can. I look forward to meeting you and the adventures to come. Thanks, Brian
