Hi! I'm Sean
Location: Brighton, Colorado
Current Vehicle: 1992 FJ80
Experience: Lots of backpacking, hiking, and tent camping over the years. Owned a few jeeps and trucks over the years for some offroading but never done any overlanding per say. But have enjoyed Overlound Bound's Youtube for way too long to not do something about it!

Hi all!
I'm Aaron. I'm from the South Valley New Mexico. My wife and I just got our first 4x4 and I'm very excited to get into Overlanding. I've done lots of camping growing up and I've always had a desire to be in the outdoors.

Howdy from Texas! I am Brian and live in the DFW area. I started out with an Xterra a few years ago and after my first trip to Ouachita last year my wife said I needed to get something bigger because her and the kids were going! The next weekend we found 2004 Lexus GX 470 and on our first big trip the kids named her "Lady Nova" because she is a little high maintenance but shines bright when the terrain gets tough. Not many mods yet, some lift spacers to level her out and fit some 33in AT's on her and we hit the road. I consider myself a novice but had a steep learning curve after a few hours on Imogene in August! We have been overlanding in New Mexico, Colorado, the Ouachita National Forest, The Ozarks and are heading out soon to Padre National Seashore to get our "expeditions" started this year. We are glad to be Members finally, and can relate to Michael's view on how getting outdoors can change you. We created so many amazing memories as a family and can't wait to make more!
