Hello all!
My name is Travis, and I'm getting back into the camping/off-roading scene again! My wife and I recently moved to the Dallas area for work and both agree that if we have to be stuck in the city then we need a way to get out into the wilds. I'll be ordering a Gladiator rubicon once our house sells, and from there I'll jumping into the off road game with both feet! Hopefully I'll see some of you on the trails!
Welcome to the outbound family. I think most of us jump into the off road game with both feet when we start out. Whether we want to or not.

Good Evening everyone
Location: Harrisburg, PA
Rig: 2020 Jeep JLU Willys
Overland Experience: None at the moment. Working on getting the basics and plan for our shake down trip right after my daughter goes back to college this Aug.

Was a Mustang guy for years but now the wife and I are looking for a different adventure and this sounded right up our alley. Look forward to being part of the Overland community.
Welcome from Georgia!!! Happy to have you as part of the OB Family!
Thanks!

Meet Jabari, this is my 2016 Toyota Fortuner 2.8 GTD-6 4x4. She's set up for overlanding Africa, but we are constantly tweaking and changing the set up!

View attachment 204166

I'm technically based out of Johannesburg South Africa, but I sold my house pre covid, and other than occasionally staying with family, we are permanently on the road.

I'm very experienced in Southern Africa, have a little bit of experience in East/Central and Sahel, but I know it is a small pond in the big picture of overlanding. Here to learn and maybe lend some advice if anyone is looking to come to this part of the world!

Edit: Got too excited to post. Also wanted to say my background is in photography and film making, and please check out my channel over at www.youtube.com/c/timhulme :)

Hello All. I have a 2004 Silverado 1500 4WD that is pretty stock right now except for a leveling Kit and Camper topper shell. I am an Aircraft mechanic that works on Boeing 767 and 777's. I was a Caterpillar Heavy Equipment mechanic when I was younger. What can I say, I like turning wrenches. My goal is to make my truck more off road capable without going to overboard. We currently have ground tenting experience which is all we have ever known. My wife and I used to camp all the time with our motorcycle. The older we get, the more the Overlanding thing seems to possibly be a better fit. We're currently living in the Las Vegas / Henderson area. We have lived there off and on for the last 30 plus years. I have explored a lot of the desert around Southern Nevada and look forward to learning of new areas. Hopefully we can get to know some of you and build friendships along the way.
Hello Scott, welcome to Overland Bound. Not sure but,,,, personally I do not believe you can go “overboard” but that is my opinion.

Hi all! I just *finally* got my first 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4. I am in the process of hooking it up with a RTT and some other gear so I can start getting out and exploring...I am beyond excited for this new world and can't wait to learn!
Hello Corrine, welcome to Overland Bound. Congratulations on the new truck.

Hello the name is Eric I was born and raised in Chicago and now reside in Burbank IL.
I have a 2008 Hummer H3 that loves to stay dirty.
I would consider my overlanding experience to be a novice since I have only been to a few locations. View attachment 204238View attachment 204242
