Hello Everyone, I bought a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road over this past Christmas season and started getting into Overlanding, although it is more like Weekendlanding.

My wife and I are not really campers or out-doorsy. Our idea of roughing it was always Holiday Inn. We did have one trip late fall, just one night camping and running the a rented Tacoma on a light trail. We actually had a blast. So, little by little, getting all the camping gear.

I guess I have been stalking the forums for a couple months and did not realize I had not dropped in to introduce myself. Now that we are all spending quality time at home, here I am. We live by Lake Norman, north of Charlotte.

Howdy! New guy from Central Texas. Started primitive camping many, many years ago with the family and we've slowly progressed to the point of now owning an absurd bumper pull RV. It's fun and has it's place, but I'd really like to get back to primitive camping. Right now I'm looking at starting with a RTT to mount on top of my truck (Dodge 2500), but ultimately would like to build an off-road trailer. This system will also play well into my annual trips out west to hunt elk, antelope, mule deer, etc.

Anyways, glad to be here. Looking forward to learning.

Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and overlanding in general. I'm not new to 4x4 and off-road, but am looking for more family friendly outlets for recreation, hence the beginning of this build. I now have a 1 year old daughter and a one year old to me (2003) LX470. My main motivation for joining was the interactive map, which I have a couple questions about. I'll look for the appropriate place to post that. Thanks for the welcome and I hope to meet some great folks out on the trail.

Hello all. Glad to finally officially join this community. I'm from Southern California. So what better time than a lockdown than to explore online? I have a wife and a 3 year old. We started camping last year as a family. We were using a 2017 Outback 3.6R which served us well. We have subsequently switched to a 2017 GX 460 and plan on using this as our adventure vehicle. Loved the Outback but we wanted the larger engine.
  1. Welcome to Overland Bound, I am one of the U.S. West member representatives so if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me @Magic Mike. You can also contact our Regional Director @Narbob if the need arises.
Make sure and browse the New member threads, for some great information that will help you navigate the Overland Bound website. Also keep an eye on Rally Point & the member calendar for upcoming local meetups, trainings & trail runs.

Hey y'all! Little late to this forum as I've been on here for about 3 months, but it's better late than never! I am 17 years old and live in the DFW area in the great state of Texas. I drive a 4x4 2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 and I am fairly new to the overlanding game; however, I've been camping, fishing, and doing things in the outdoors for as long as I can remember. I am currently planning some trips for my friends to take this summer and slowly but surely building out my rig. I look forward to getting to know the overlanding scene and learning about how to maximize my outdoor experience.
