Hey guys I’m new to the forum but I’ve been vehicle camping for a few years now. I started with a Toyota Tundra but I just sold it and bought my first Jeep. 2016 JKU Sahara. Super excited to get out and come across some of you on the trails!

Welcome from Arizona!

Hi All,
New to the forum here, and looking fwd be part of it all.

Originally had a Jeep TJ, so much fun, but after 10yrs upgrade to a 2017 Jeep Wrangler, 2dr.

I do like my offroadong trips, but looking to get more into the Overland side of things.. realise the 2dr is not ideal, but the size of my garage had the final say

Welcome from Arizona!

 

[DaleRF]

Hi-my name is Robert and from the Bay Area. We used to camp up past Pinecrest about 25 years ago-I remember the sign always said Trail of the Ancient Drawfs-was a lot of fun and have continued to camp since then-but last few years ago started getting into it more. We use a Ram1500 4 wheel drive. Roof top tent and recently added a second battery via Red Arc controller. My family and I try to camp as much as we can-especially now with Covid-we try to avoid crowds since our little one is too young for a vaccination. Hoping to find others to chat with, find new sites and learn more about getting on the trails. I also do photography as a hobby and another topic would be nice to find others to talk with. Thanks

Welcome from Arizona!

Hello Derrell and welcome to Overland Bound!

Thanks so much for your reply. Even though I’ve watched a ton of Lifestyle Overland, this is all very new to me and I have tons to learn.

Hello Fellow Overlanders, Adventure Seekers, and Sunset Chasers!

My name is Aaron, and my wife's name is Christy and we have been involved in the camping and off-road world since we were kids, but only in the last 5 years have we expanded those experiences into a true overlanding journey. We have had several Jeeps in the past, but most recently we did a Ram 2500 build for a trip we have been planning since 2019. The build is complete for Stage 1 and we just got back from an epic adventure in which I will be posting some pictures in a future post.

Welcome Kors! I would call your rig anything but "Basic". Love that drawer and kitchen setup! Looks like a great rig to get out there and enjoy the wild.

Hello Derrell, welcome to Overland Bound.

 

[freak4life]

Hey all!

I'm based in Glendale, AZ. Driving a 2015 4Runner SR5, usually with a Starcraft 17BH travel trailer in tow when I'm camping/overlanding. Had this setup for almost 3 years now, which is about all of the overlanding experience I have as well.

Looking forward to interacting with this group more!

Why Overlanding?: I want to see our great nation in detail, not just flying from destination to destination. Coast to coast, north to south, i want to see it from my truck /small trailer (maybe?lol) I want to wheel in the mountains, desert, firebreaks and goat trails lol. I'm getting the rig ready, and yes, i'll have questions.

Hello Tom, welcome to Overland Bound. This is a good place to ask questions.
