Greetings from West Tennessee.
I'd share a picture of my rig, but it's totally stock so you can see it on the jeep.com website. ;)
I drive a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
I have no overloading experience, but I've always loved road trips and just travel in general. I want to spend more time in this arena, so I'm hoping to learn more from the experts here.
Thanks for having me.

Greetings from the Frozen North of Palmer Ak. I am a new member to Overland Bound, I have been camping in and traversing the backcountry of Alaska since I was a child. I am currently building a new 2019 Tacoma for my overland rig as my trusty but rusty 1996 Suburban has seen its well loved but better days. I am a vehicle and heavy equipment mechanic by trade and do not mind helping out with diagnostics and vehicle parts and service related questions if needed.

Look forward to chatting with everyone on the forums.

Mark.

Hello everyone. New member from Denver, Colorado here. Driving a Chevy Colorado Z71 crew cab with 2 inch suspension lift, Falken Wildpeak tires, skid plates, sideshooter ditch lights, Retrax cover with Yakima Outpost HD rack, Yakima Skyrise HD RTT, and 2 Rocky Mounts Switchhitter LS bike racks. Ski/snowboard rack replaces the RTT in the winter. Truck is very much still a work in progress and I've changed a few things over time. Plenty of other upgrades planned too. I'm also an avid mountain biker, so if I can combine overlanding and mountain biking I'm in my happy place.

Hello everyone,
I'm from northwest Tn. I have been offroading for around 19 years. Ranging from 4wheeler's to trucks to full offroad buggies. Just got into trying out overlanding. Which so far has been a blast and probably my favorite style of offroading I have been apart of since my wife and dogs get to enjoy it more.look forward to learning what I cam from here and hopefully becoming knowledgeable enough to help others.

Hello All,

42 yo husband and father of 6 here. Love taking the family camping but want to step that game up a notch. I have had dream to start overlanding since I bought this rig back in 2014 roughly. Hard to find parts and I fabricate some of my own. Looking to start small around the area and state, but I want to travel out west to experience that side of the country again.

Thanks! It’s a big old beast. But there are 6 of us...so it works. If you see some around X’s shoot me a note would love to learn from those that have “been there- done that” versus fall on my face immediately.

I’d say I’m an beginner overlander. My wife and I have done some camping and off-roading around the country. I recently stumbled on to the world and community of overlanding. I’m looking forward to learning more and making some new friends.
