Hey everyone! Jeff and Andrea here. We are currently in Oklahoma, but we are planning and building for our journey to Ushuaia. We love the overlanding lifestyle, even though now it is a part-time love affair it will, in 5 years or so be full-time. We believe that a community of like minded persons brings about a more enjoyable experience, this is why we chose to become a member of Overland Bound. Our vehicle is a 2019 TRD Off-road 4Runner. I'm a firm believer in trying to do everything ourselves. Below.is a picture of Blue Belle in the Ozark National Forest. Cheers everyone!
Welcome from Tulsa

We have an Oklahoma sub-forum for more local chit chat Oklahoma overlanders where ya at?

Hey yall, my name is Brian. I just moved to the Raleigh/Durham, NC from East Tennessee for work. I am an aircraft mechanic. I drive a 1969 Jeepster Commando and have slowly been updating the drivetrain and drivability. I love the outdoors and have already camped, and panned for gold in Uwharrie National Forest. Most of my adventures have been im the smokies from Greeneville, TN to Maryville,TN. I love the coast and am planning to go out there here in the next couple weeks. Anyways, thank you for having me and look forward to getting to know you. BView attachment 157585View attachment 157586

Hey,

Excited to join, living in Boston, MA and recently acquired a 2020 Jeep Wrangler to explore more of the area.

I moved state-side last summer from the UK where I didn't own a vehicle for the last 5 years so very little Overlanding experience, much more used to long-distance hiking so excited to get a bit further, see some places that are maybe a bit more than a train ride and day's hike from the city!

Hello All,

I'm considered on a beginner level of overlanding, have made 1 day trips to easy trails, however We (me and wife) want to learn as much and fast as possible to be on the road and connect with nature.

I hope to transform my rig on a capable vehicle to visit the most amazing places!

Location: San Jose, CA
Rig: 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU Sport
Experience: Novice (please forgive my Jeep tires lol)

Hi folks.
I'm Andy,
I live in the west Midlands UK.
I have a 1997 Land Rover Discovery 1 300tdi auto. I've spent the last 2years rebuilding and repairing her from a rusty shell.
I've built all of the modifications myself, including building my own roof top tent.
She's now almost ready to start clocking some proper miles and I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
Hello Andy, welcome to the OB community. Would love to see some pictures of your rig.
