Hello, overlanders!

I've been a regular off-roader to the OBX (Cape Hatteras National Seashore) since the 1990s (I moved to NC in 2005) and a lifelong camper. I had my first exposure to overlanding last week in Alabama Hills region of (Lone Pine) California. I'm hooked! I own five vehicles, ALL of which are 4WD, but only one will be appropriate for regular overlanding: my 1986 Jeep CJ-7. It's currently undergoing a ressurection, having sat dead in my sister-in-law's garage for the last 8 years after my brother passed. I'm grateful that she has allowed me to get it restored to a road-worthy condition and feel fortunate to have it. It should be road ready in a month or two. So, I look forward to adventuring forth with the help of this knowledge base and eventually meeting those like minded.

Cheers!20210627_145019.jpg20210527_151501.jpg

Welcome Anthony! It looks like your Jeep will be a great overlanding vehicle, but don't hesitate to get out in whatever you have available. The experience is more important than the wheels :-)

Thanks. Yeah, I started with a 2003 Tayota Tacoma (my son now owns that), then switched to a 2006 GMC Yukon XL (still operational). I've also had my 2020 Suburban out on the beach. We just acquired a 2018 4Runner and have a Jeep Cherokee Sport, but we're saving those for less harsh conditions. Add to that our 26' travel trailer (2020) and our 2001 Cobalt 226 bowrider, and we spend a good amount of time outdoors! And we're looking to add a couple kayaks to the mix. If this keeps up, I'm going to need a bigger driveway!!!

Hello Ezz, welcome to Overland Bound. I would be glad to offer my opinion about overland vehicles, though that is not worth much, others here are much more experienced.

I’m Wyatt, just came across this app and getting familiar with everything offered. I live in Grand Prairie, Tx by Joe Pool Lake. Currently trying to get some vacation time from work to head to the overland Expo West in Colorado. I own a 2015 Tacoma and just purchased my first rooftop tent and very interested in learning more and experiencing over landing.
