Hello Everyone, it's great to finally be here.

I'm Huey and from the SF Bay Area, CA. I've been wheeling since 2017.
My rig is a 2017 Jeep Wrangler 4-door.
Started with rockcrawling and gradually grew into overlanding.
My last trip was a Death Valley expedition.
Just finished building a utility cabinet for the trunk so can't wait to use it soon!

Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Hey All! New here and new-ish to California. Previously I was big into the rock crawling scene but always had more fun with destination trips and camping. I am currently using my 1998 Silverado as my overlanding rig until I finish building my more dedicated 1974 Plymouth Trailduster with new tech. I live just minutes from the Sierra Nevada mountains and love the idea of being to explore the trails and dispersed camping.

Look forward to getting started with the new hobby!

Overlander for 10ish years Ive gone from the 2 seater tj to a 2018 yodarunner named "loafer". Joining the crew is like an incentive package for us to get out and explore. I have yet to convince the wife that the 1989 American Outbacker trailer is still worthy of the loafer tow behind status. the only Mod so far is my GPS system which is a Dual XGPS Receiver mated to an iPad dash mounted with Wiz magnetic clips.

Glad I found Overland Bound. really excited to be here as well as learn and get to share and read up on some adventures.
I drive a 2nd Gen Taco and am currently working on adding to my baby. I stay in the Los Angeles area. although I grew up in the city I have always been very active outdoors. love going camping, fishing, snowboarding, rafting and hiking to name a few. it is my twin brother who motivated me to try an overlanding trip and now I'm hooked. I'm just starting out and any advice would help. thanks in advance!

Hi All,

My name is Rich and I’m located about 15 miles north of Denver, CO

Rig is a Colorado ZR2. I’m new to the overland community and 4wheeling. I spent a lot of my years before on water cooled VW’s. The exact opposite of any sort of lift.

Stoked to start new adventures. Looking forward to interacting with the community and meeting cool new people.

Thank you for your warm welcome. I drive a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with plans to upgrade to a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon when the diesel is available. I also drive a Ram 3500 to tow my horse trailer. I overland/camp with both vehicles then take my horse(s) and pack mules to where vehicles can not go... Original 4-leg travel. No better way to see the back country in the Northwest...

Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself quickly. I live in the Broomfield area which is between Boulder and Denver and have a 2013 Commando Green Jeep Sahara JKU lifted on 35s. I was camping alone in Telluride a couple weeks ago and the next morning ran across a group of people that introduced me to Overland Bound and invited me along for the day.
