[The Silver Wolf]

Hello everyone! I'm Eddie. I grew up close to Pensacola, FL and I've recently moved to San Antonio, TX. My rig is a 2020 Ford Ranger FX4. I'm a novice overlander with ambition to learn more and to eventually be able to go out there and have an adventure and explore.

Several years ago, my dad had a 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ and we would go out tent camping at local, remote (about an hour away from town) campgrounds. After a bit of time, I became used to going out camping with all the gear we were able to cram inside it. Little did I know that we were practicing Overlanding.

Now, I've grown up and I want to get back into the outdoors as well as escaping the city-life, workplace, and COVID environment. Overlanding to me feels more than a hobby; it's a lifestyle built around the ability to grab your gear and go out on an adventure without having to worry about anything.

Overland Bound to me takes that lifestyle further, and builds a community and network with others that feel the same way. I've been shadowing the group for a while now, listening and planning on what my Overlanding goals are and how to develop my rig and gear to be able to take weekend trips regularly. I will never forget how on my first day, someone sent an SOS of being stuck on a mountainside and needed a recovery, and how many people immediately responsed. That makes me proud to be in such a caring community (and restored some faith in humanity considering how crazy world is today).

I'll cut this short before I reach some max character limit.

I exist, I want to participate more in this amazing community, and I can't wait to restart Overlanding!!!

I’m new to the overlanding scene (camped a ton as a kid) and had my first trail run a few weeks ago at the Lone Star Jamboree…had a blast! Bering excited about getting my kids outdoors to have fun like I did and we have been these last few weeks! So as far as the intro….

1. Pics attached at the end
2. Home base is Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
3. I am working on building out my 1996 LX450, j bought it when it was well on its way to being what I envision to be the rig I want!
4. Overlanding experience….lol…uhh…about 4 days hahaha! But I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night, and watched some YouTube! I spent a lot of time camping and fishing growing up, but when I hit college, focus changed and now with two kids…I’m getting to get back into all that fun stuff! Having kids let’s me be s kid again! Well it’s at least a good excuse!

I joined to forum because I’m in the middle of this 80 series build out and I have so many questions! Also have some technical support I can provide. I own a laser scanner and will be scanning the inside of the 80 series as soon as I get some time…I’ll make the scan file available on the board when I’m done.

Looking forward to chatting with the group!

Hello Overland Bound! My name is Robert and I was introduced to this lifestyle just about over a year ago by a good buddy. When he finished explaining what "Overlanding" is, I was hooked. I've been an avid outdoors person most of my life and can't wait for the next trip.

1. 2017 Tacoma TRD 4X4 OFF-ROAD
2. California
3. Not a novice, but definitely not a Pro either. I'm always looking to learn something new, so please share.
Looking forward to connecting with like minded individuals who love the outdoors. Until then, onward and forward - keep exploring.

Hello Robert, welcome to Overland Bound. If you put your actual home address on this site I suggest you remove that information, not a good idea mi amigo.

Hi all,

A little late to the party after becoming a member but here goes!

Currently in a '21 Toyota 4Runner ORP from the DFW area. Used to have a TRD Pro but got rid of it to go back to school. First vehicle I had was a 2000 4Runner which was a blast.

Rig pictures attached

I would say I'm not a novice, but definitely not an expert. Had a few mishaps before and still continuing to learn while introducing my wife, family and friends to what Overlanding is.

Hello, I'm Erinn from McKinney, Texas. I had a Jeep TJ then a lot of kids so now I have a 97 40th Land Cruiser. With kids over landing and camping was more practical than rock crawling and beer, so here I am....I have a few trips under my belt and am still baselining my 137K mileage vehicle.

Welcome to Overland Bound Erinn
McKinney is a great place, got to visit my Niece and her family there a couple of years ago after a rally in the Ozarks.
