1) View attachment 139635
2) Northwest United states
3) My, ahem, "rig" is a 1990 Geo Prizm. Front wheel drive, 110 half dead shetland ponies under the hood, 3 speed automatic about as useful as a toaster. Basically the perfect possible rig for overland that has ever been created.
4) I have very little Overlanding specific experience, however I have a good deal of experience outdoors (Compared to most my age).

Hello from Long Beach CA. I’m in the process of slowly building out my 2010 4Runner trail edition. Looking to find what works and doesn’t work and also find some groups to go exploring with. Let me know if any groups I should follow or join and if there are any meet ups in my area.
cheers

Hello all,

New to Overlanding and decided it was time to do so. Located in Highland, Michigan and just got into a 2019 Toyota 4runner TRD off road. Need to take it slow on the mods untill I lean more and decide what will be needed.

Hello! Not really new to Overland Bound, but new to the forum. My name is Baker and I own Bourn Adventure, perviously known as Bakes FJ. I joined Overland Bound several years ago and proudly rocked my badge (0023) on the side of our FJ Cruiser as we drove it to all lower 48 states and parts of Canada. Some of you may be familiar with our adventures in the FJ or remember seeing the picture of me standing on the bottom of our turned over FJ after rolling it in 2017 while on a road trip. The FJ is gone and our name has changed, but the adventure remains the same. We now have a 2005 Lexus GX470 that we plan on building. It is still stock for now as my big boy job keeps me busy and out of the country for most of the year. Once things slow down with work we intend to turn the GX into our next adventure vehicle and do a massive road trip across the United States, Canada and possibly parts of Mexico. We still have our original Overland Bound badge that will be displayed on the side of the GX!

We live in central Louisiana and have 36 acres of property that we are currently setting up camp sites on. We also have approximately two miles of walking trails through the woods. In December we hosted our first ever Bourn Adventure Camp Night on the property and look forward to doing more Camp Nights and other events in the future. We do not have "off road" ridding trails on the property, but we do have plenty of space for camping and bonfires. Our goal is to open our house and property to the off road/overland community for events, get togethers and those who are passing through our area and need a place to make camp while on their adventure.

We look forward to meeting new friends here.

Hi everyone,

I joined ages ago but got a little distracted, but finally here's my intro.

I've got a defender 110, shes ex British military but not standard military spec. Shes my daily drive and a rolling project... its a Landy so its a constant fight against corrosion here in the UK.

Ive done some big trips but no real off roading as yet. The biggest trip to date was from the UK to the Czech Republic via Holland and Germany, it was ace.

I do all my own spannering so if i can help anyone i will and am happy to give advice.
