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.

Welcome to OB! If you ever make it out towards Nashville look me up!

There is a Thanksgiving weekend meetup not to far from you. Turkey Trot Weekend - DBBB - Overland Bound

Hello Tom and welcome to Overland Bound!

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.

Hello Aaryn and welcome to Overland Bound from a fellow PNW'er!

 

[KerlerKlan17]

A little late to the overlanding scene but excited to meet new people and see new places!

I’m Jon from Wind Gap PA
2013 Ram 1500 is my rig
Still fairly basic for now

I’ve always loved nature and to be able to get out and go on long trips where your vehicle is your home base is the perfect fit for my lifestyle. Pretty new to the overlanding scene and love to learn. I’m use to old dirt trails and back roads and would love to find more! Can’t wait to see y’all on the trails!
