Hello everyone! I live in south eastern Arizona. I have been trail dusting and 4 wheeling for years. I have been camping since I was a kid. I have just recently combined the two.

My vehicle is a 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.

The saying, "adventure is necessary" is so true to me! I love adventure!

Here is my 4Runner at Ophir Pass, CO last year: View attachment 158491

3.New to the community. After a divorce, finally found a way to join my loves for the outdoors and vehicles. Excited to join a community and meet others that share these same things. Want to get out and explore more of the world. I’m new to this, but have a pretty diverse background which has helped. Have made it out on three trips so far.

Hey everyone!

I live in Austin TX, just moved here in December from Massachusetts

The current family "Rig" is a 2019 Toyota Highlander XLE

Overlanding Experience: Novice.
I guess I first got involved with overlanding during my time in the Marine Corps. The allure of traveling through hard to reach places by vehicle has never left me, and I can't wait to experience more of it.

Currently have no pictures of the family truckster, but I'll grab some eventually and post them up. Will probably start a thread at some point and put them in there.
Hello Hunter, welcome to the OB community.

Greetings, Overland Bound community!

Just became a member this morning and I'm looking forward to a lifetime of adventuring.

I'm located in the Twin Cities, MN, riding around in a mostly-stock 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. Certainly a novice still but looking to learn.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Glacier National Park later this year as our first real getaway. If any of you have any suggestions on trails while we're there, either in vehicle or on foot, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all! I'm very new to the concept of overlanding but really like the idea of it, and am working to start getting my rig worthy.

Location: Maryland, close to Baltimore.
Rig: 1996 Ford Bronco, currently getting a powerplant change to a 4bt cummins diesel engine (it's almost done, build thread on another site).
Overlanding Experience: Is there something newer than Novice? Haha

View attachment 154138
Can't wait to see the 4BT Bronco!
