Welcome to the group! I lived in Buena Vista for a short time. Leadville and Ouray, are two of my favorite places :-)
Hello everybody, my name is Miguel and am relatively new to Overlanding. I love the outdoors, I've generally been off-roading with friends, but I feel like I need to try Overland, it's almost like it's calling my name. I've got a 1990 Jeep Cherokee that I would like to start off with. Oh, I'm from El Monte CA. Thanks everybody. Gnight!
Stock 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. Hope to build up soon.
Location: Newcastle, OK
Rig: 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee (wk)
Experience: None but lots of camping and backpacking!

Hello Overlanders! My name is Jay from Los Angeles, California! Brand new to the world of overlanding and off-roading for that matter.
Grew up in Kenya with my family in the safari business so I was often in the wild enjoying nature and wildlife. Now, living in this city I crave the outdoors, but don't have a group of like minded individuals to share the experience with. Then I found OverlandBound on Instagram and my eyes lit up!
Rig: 2008 VW Touareg. Not much on it besides all terrain tires, spacers and a roof basket (which I occasionally take off).
If anyone is in or around the LA area, I would love to go for some easy/moderate day trail drives on the weekends!
Thanks all - looking forward to the many adventures to follow!

Just Joined this group located in Long Beach California (the nice part) rig is a 2011 Toyota 4Runner SR5 with slight modifications. The wife loves camping and hiking (not trail driving :-( ). But I want to get out more and maybe she will like a scenic route with good stoping points with minimal only trail riding . Hoping to get great ideas here and other friends nearby

"the nice part", Love it! :)
I grew up in the LBC (Bixby Knolls to be exact), Long Beach is a great city, it's just super big and like many big cities... it has it's rough spots. Welcome, and please post a pic of your rig... I had a 2002 4Runner for over 10 years until someone smashed into while it was parked! :(

The X next to yours in this pic is similar to what I'm running now.
Thanks that is my good friends . I had an X in 07 but it wasn't 4wd so I let it go. What does your X look like?
That's a great looking rig right there! I might go that route in the future once kids start popping out. Until then, I'll stick to my xj.Just Joined this group located in Long Beach California (the nice part) rig is a 2011 Toyota 4Runner SR5 with slight modifications.

I just got it a month or two ago, so its still needs to be outfitted a bit more before we get too crazy with it. It's a 2012 Pro 4x, and stock with the exception of the newly added Garvin drop-in Adventure Roof Rack and Raingler cargo barrier and roof rack cargo netting. Oh, and I picked of a set of those awesome Plano Sportsman Storage Cases that Michael from OB uses on his rig. The smaller 1719 model, since my rack is much smaller than the GOBI racks.
