Hello Overlanders,

Excited to learn from the group as I’m new to the game - Toyota Tacoma as pictured in a recent trip to Maine. Still pretty much stock set up but got stuck in a swamp in Fl earlier this year so ordered some extraction toys to bolt on this winter.

Cheers,
Liam

Hello Tony here. I love trail day runs, camping, overlanding, and leading monthly meets with other 4x4 off-roaders. I have 2 Jeeps. 1 is a heavily modified 2002 Grand Cherokee for overlanding and the second is a 2021 gladiator Rubicon, which I am currently modifying for overlanding. Glad to be here.
Hello Tony, welcome to the OB family and thank you for your service.

Hello Everyone. Created an account a while back but finally getting around to my first post.
Few years ago I ditched my FJ after the 3rd rear end failure... which ended my overlanding fun :-/ . I jumped into a X4M which I eventually traded for a 2020 Tundra that I hated with a burning passion. That lasted exactly 364 days... and today I am in a 2021 Ram PowerWagon :-D

I'm out in Monroe WA, looking to find others that want to do some day trips, explore, or get stuck in snow.

Afternoon! While an experienced hiker and BWCA enthusiast, I love car camping but am looking to venture into overlanding as well for added fun.

I live in Minneapolis, MN and venture with
my 2014 Jeep Cherokee TrailHawk. It’s freshly washed and ready for the week. Ha!

Thanks!
-Jay

Hi folks!

I originally joined last year but never got around to introducing myself. I'm UK based and currently working on my latest rig a Range Rover L322 which already looks a bit different to the pic below, I'm also renovating a house to rent out to help fund my next chapter of mobile life. I'm an Executive Officer for the Green Lane Association so I spend a lot of my time exploring and helping to protect the UK's network of unsurfaced roads.

Hello , Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @Ubiety 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.

Hello there. I’m new.

My name is Rush and the wife is Laura. We run both a 2013 Jeep JK and a 2019 Toyota Tundra. We have been overlanding for about two years. We also have a fairly new off road trailer and soon we will mount our RTT and other gear.

We are located in the Bay Area. We’ve done two longish trips to both the Colorado western slope and southwestern Utah.

Thanks!
Nice rigs!
I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Pleasanton CA there is a meet up on the second Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active. The Tri-Valley (Pleasanton) group has 2021 all planned out and you can see the plan under the second post in our thread.

Below is a link to the meet up page and thread with information.

This is the regular meet up info:
