Hello from Memphis! Can't wait to get my member info!

Below is my 97 4Runner 5spd 4-cyl 4x4, pretty new to overlanding but a long-time Toyota guy and DIY-er. Mainly experienced in backpacking and camping.

[Tackleberry]

Hello Drerrin, welcome to the OB community. As a former West Michigander, Grand Rapids, I'm wondering where you are from? Loved the Lake Michigan coast, especially Grand Haven.

I'm in the Muskegon area

Hey,
From Colorado and have a Gladiator. I’ve had a few wranglers in the past along with a vintage Range Rover and LR3. Spend my free time 4 wheeling/camping in the mountains and also enjoy adventure motorcycles, currently ride an f800gs. I enjoy running the bdr in Colorado and completed a Moto trip through Baja. Hoping to get off the beaten path this summer.

Hi everyone, my name is Paulina and I'm located in Scotland, UK (for the time being). We bought our Toyota Landcruiser 100 Series last year and have done a little bit of a build in the boot to maximise storage space (attached some photos!). Next are. an ARB front bumper and awning. Our first trip was supposed to be to Morocco in April, but unfortunately we had to cancel due to Coronavirus. Cannot wait to get started though. Hope everyone is keeping safe

Hi Paulina, welcome to the region Im the regional director so any questions give me a shout.
Im based up near Aberdeen and we have a good active group of members up here in Scotland so keep an eye out on Rally Point and FB for up[ and coming meets when this corona crisis is over.
Look forward to seeing you on the forums and at a future meet.

New to the forum and to overlanding. I am retired US Army Artillery, so I've done my share of "overlanding", but I have never done it on my terms. So, here I am, ready to start learning how to outfit my rig. I live in Central Texas, just outside of Austin. I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler and I want to build or buy an overlanding trailer to pull behind it. Maybe something with a tent incorporated into it.

Hope to get to a local meet and greet, maybe an Overland Bound rally once things recover from the current global mess.

Hello all! I've enjoyed hiking and camping, including backcountry, as well as getting off the main roads to see the backcountry and camp out for many years as I've moved around the country. So I'd claim advanced novice overland experience. Currently in Pennsylvania and drive a 2013 Jeep Wrangler JK.

I joined the overlandbound forum today after watching Michael’s YouTube channel.

Location: Bay Area, California
Rig: 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series

Looking forward to building up my LC for slight off-roading and overlanding. Any suggestions in terms of suspensions and general build ideas are welcome.
