GREETINGS!
My name is Ethan Logan. My wife Bonnie and I are from Fidalgo Island in the beautiful Puget Sound. Most of my off-road experience is mountain biking and dual-sport motorcycles, but we’re super excited to launch ourselves into the Overland Bound culture and experience.
Our rig is a 2002 4Runner SR5 4x4 named “Bernhard”. He’s still a work in progress, but now he’s got a cb radio and good tread on the tires, so we’re gonna take him places.
Thanks!

Hey all. My name is Jason Copeland. Been wheeling for quite awhile now. Discovered overlanding a few years ago and was happy to find a style that fit what I like to do best. I live in central Iowa but I’ve been exploring around the Mark Twain forests in MO and other parts of the Ozarks for the past couple years now. I drive a 2013 JK that’s also my daily driver so i don’t get too crazy with it. Looking forward to connecting with other overlanders around where I like to explore.0B2F7E1D-58AC-4642-940B-EF2D5B975878.jpegCCA19C8E-48EC-41CF-9456-40DCD03B7512.jpeg

Hi. I am new here. I have a 19 Tundra. I am here to learn all the new things. This was one of the few pictures of the entire tundra on my computer. It now has a camper shell, and probably a few more things (the problem with itty bitty thumbnails). I am thinking about putting a rack on it so a tent can go above and I have more storage in the bed.

Hey all. I ´m new here too. Found this forum because of a crazy drawer video by michael.
My current rig is a 2011 tundra quad cab. We go camping a lot with the kids in tents. Done a couple of more overland style trip with wife and friends but its all budget oriented lol.
here is a picture. I dont have one with the bed setup but its pretty basic, big homemade bedslide with a kitchen drawer that i swap between the truck and the camp when we set up there. Got myself a big engel fridge for a song, looking for ways to make it functionnal under the awning. Will post pics.

Hey there everyone! My name is Ben. I'm brand new to the overland scene. I've lived in East Tennessee for the last two years and have wanted to explore all of the national forests that are around me. I recently purchased a 1988 Ford Bronco. Looking to outfit this vehicle to escape into the woods for a weekend with my SO and 2 dogs.
