Hello all! Brand new member today after hearing about this site/group at work.

Location: Central Valley, CA
Rig: 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (LJ) - but only for 1 more week! Sold to a family member. Jeep Gladiator on order.
Overlanding Experience: Going with Novice. Did a lot of camping, etc while growing up in the Black Hills of South Dakota (hence my forum name), as well as a lot of "overlanding" family trips when I was younger. My dad, the pilot, drove everywhere! Now that I have 2 young sons, I want to take them out camping and overlanding as much as possible. There is too much natural beauty to see and experience to stay cooped up at home.

Thanks!

Current Vehicle: 2006 Toyota 4Runner V8 Limited
Previous Vehicle: Too many to list
Overland Experience: Novice
Why Overlanding?: My family and I have always been an outdoor type of people and love traveling, camping, and exploring new places. I am an automotive enthusiast and enjoy modifying vehicles, whether it be 4 wheels, 2 wheels, racing, or offroading. Overlanding is a great combination of those two passions and I've been hooked ever since.

OB Members Colorado

Sorry I won't be able to go up that far North this weekend @carlo_donz . Not to take away from that group but wanted to gauge interest if anyone wants to do a ride closer to Colorado Springs on Sunday. I'm too new to wheeling in the area to make many suggestions. Was thinking of Shubarth loop...

[Holliday]

Good morning! Just joined yesterday!
I'm from Santa Clara, CA.
I've got an 06 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. Got some experience off road, but always looking for more. Love camping and offroading with the dog. I've done some mods to the truck, bigger tires, small lift, better shocks. I'm currently welding up a rack for the bed to serve as mount points and an awning.

 

[SleipnirTheJeep]

Hey everyone and thanks for the welcome!
1) Warrenton, Virginia
2) 2017 JEEP JKUR
3) Been driving Jeeps and Yotas and camping for nearly 20 years. Took a sabbatical when my son was born (...a decade ago) and am back! I intend on building out my newest rig to do a cross country National Parks tour. Everything in between will be "practice".

Anyone in my area hit me up. I'd like to do a meet up and really invest in this. Oh and I also fly fish just in case anyone was wondering...

[Kyle from OK]

Hi All! I finally pulled the trigger on getting my OB membership! I bought my 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser nearly 5 years ago to be my hunting/fishing/family adventure vehicle, and it's been a work in progress ever since. This was two years ago from our first family camping trip as a family of 5. We've gone on many more since then, but not many great pics of the rig.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Charles, and i'm new to Overland Bound. I was fortunate to buy a 2014 4Runner trail, with a couple of mods to get me started. I look forward to being part of the community, exploring more of the outdoors and getting to meet you all. Pic below is from my 20hr drive back home from picking her up. Long drive, but i found what i wanted. I live in Loveland, CO so let me know if any of you are in the near area.

 

[overlandjawk]

Hey Guys,

My name is Jacob from Mesa, AZ. I've been slowly learning more and more about overlanding and I'm finally going to be working a lot more on my rig. I have a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500. I used to have a camper shell but to accommodate for more storage, I'm going to be ordering an RTT from Roam Adventure. I've got plenty of mods on my list, and I'm hoping to share and learn from everyone here.

[Hank Outdoors]

Hi Everybody -

Like Merritt, I am from Nashville.

Just obtained a 2016 Wrangler Unlimited yesterday, which I will slowly begin modding. I have zero overlanding experience at the moment, but am looking forward to getting started and learning.

Welcome! There is a stock friendly ride this weekend hosted by Cumberland Cruisers (find them on Facebook) at the Dirt Devil trails.

 

[Hank Outdoors]

Hello my name is David. After years of hiking and backpacking w/ the Scouts, I am exploring the Overlanding community in an attempt to find a common activity with my wife who does none of these 'outdoorsy' things. Perhaps riding in a vehicle to a site that supports a tent that you can actually stand up in (her requirements) will become our shared 'adventure place'. Time will tell.

Welcome! I am in Kingston Springs. Holler if you need anything and I recommend the Gazelle tents for standing room!

 

[515RADO]

Just started building my truck into an overland/hunting/camping rig after watching Lost Sasquatch’s videos on YouTube.

Location: Adel, Iowa
Vehicle: 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Experience: Not much as Iowa is pretty flat. I have a few coworkers that are pretty into overlanding and camping and they convinced me to build my truck into an overland rig.

Let the adventures begin!
