Hey y'all! Mike Nelson here from Lacygne, Kansas. That's about 40 minutes south of Kansas City. I drive an 05 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Z71. I'm looking forward to meeting new people who have the same passion as me and seeing new places. It's an honor to be here, thank you!

Welcome to the OB crew Mike, I am one of the Kansas reps and look forward to meeting you out on the trails. If I can assist you in your Overlanding journey, please let me know.

Copy that Stanley. I appreciate you reaching out. I will definitely be in touch with you when the time is right. Looking forward to meeting you all and becoming a part of this overlanding family.

Hi everyone,
I am Joey from La Quinta, CA. I have been camping and enjoying the great outdoors my whole life, but I am new to the overland experience. My last two vehicles have been a 2006 and 2019 Toyota Tacoma. I had plenty of fun with both trucks, but my wife says I am too old to be in a Tacoma. Now I have 2021 4runner. I look forward to building this 4runner up and learning as much as possible from the Overland Bound community.

Hi everyone!
I’m Robert from Lawrence Kansas. My family (wife, 4 year old, 5 month old, and lab pup) have been primitive camping around Kansas since the pandemic. We are so excited to extend our journeys beyond this beautiful state. We’ve slated a 19 day trip to New Orleans and down to Miami, dotted w visits to friends and hopefully some adventurous camping.
We just sold our 2015 CRV which rocked in the car camping for us, and we’ve upgraded to a 2021 SR5 4Runner. Photo included is the beginning of a DIY shelf system. :)
I’m really looking forward to connecting with others, sharing and learning, and becoming more ready for the wild family adventure this summer.
Thank you!

Hey Paul Drawhorn here from southeast Texas! My wife and I are recently retired and are going try out overlanding in my new 2020 Gladiator and Smittybilt RTT on a trip to Yellowstone and the surrounding areas. I’m hoping to get my wife hooked! I hope I can learn to use this forum too! I’m sure I’ll be calling for help. Lol

I am a newbie from southwest Michigan.
I just retired and want to learn about overlanding.
Got myself a 2021 Landie Defender X 110 and,
to break it in, will drive it to California and back to
Michigan this June-July. If it does not fall apart,
I will then start overlanding.

Hello , Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @jcgraves3 is your closest member representative.
To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).
Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.
Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.
Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.
Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.
Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.
Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.
Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.
Mike Rose
Northwest Director

Thank you for the information Mike. My father lived in Joseph for many years, I've spent a good bit of time out yourp

Hey Tim... My name is Tim and I also have a 2000 black LR Diso 2... just getting started with my modification, like center dif lock, suspension and tires... Glad to see another new Disco on here! I just joined and will into myself shortly. Would like to know what you've done to your rig so far, looks sweet!

Thanks Tim! What are the chances? I've rebuilt the top end( head gaskets, valve job, new upper intake manifold) replaced all the cooling hoses, new water pump, serviced the transfer case and diffs, upgraded the front prop shaft, new steering dampener and slapped a 3in HD terrafirma lift w/KO2 265/75/R16's. I have a flange kit for and new rear prop shift, ball joints, have new steering linkage on the way and really want to do the diff lock, but don't need it yet. Next stage is rack and RTT, electrical upgrades, then armor/winch. How is your rig running? They are gorgeous, aren't they?
