[Upstateprepper]

Hello everyone, greetings from upstate NY. I am just getting into overlanding, recently bought a wj. It is still stock, have many plans but still don’t know exactly what direction I will be going. I love the outdoors, have been a survivalist backpacker for more than a decade. Still trying to find some trails to go explore in NY. Any recommendations are welcome. Thank you for having me.

Hello everyone

Welcome

 

[Kozysnack]

Hey everyone, happy to be here! My name is Jon. I have a yellow Jeep XJ some of you may recognize. For a few years I was part of the channel BleepinJeep and did a bunch of TDI swap videos there. So yes the XJ is TDI powered, yes I love it, it gets 26+ MPG and has more power than a tuned 4.0 with less than half the displacement and about 100 lbs weight savings. I do have my own YouTube channel now I’d be thrilled to have you join me there - https://youtube.com/channel/UCcWSjd3T3P5m7et_J1pJa7w

On IG I am @dirtroadtherapyjon

I love to explore, primarily PA VA WV. Happy to answer any questions anyone may have for me!

Welcome Jon

Greetings,

I am new to the forum but not to overlanding. My rig is 2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4. I am running the below mods.

-Ironman 4x4 Stage 3 Foam Cell Pro
-Ironman 4x4 rated recovery points on front frame
-Cali Raised rock sliders
-Midland 400 GMRS
-BFGoodrich AT KO2s 285/70R17
-I have a bunch of other recover gear and simple switch system for my ditch lights.

My next mod is a Southern Style Offroad low profile bumper (stage 2) with a winch. My next trip is the Oklahoma Adventure Trail or possibly Big Bend Ranch State Park. I now live in Dallas Fort Worth so there are more options compared to my last residence. I will start planning on the forum shortly and would appreciate your advice and experience.

Hello Juan, welcome to Overland Bound. I use trailsoffroad.com to find local trails. Their rating system for the degree of difficulty seems to be spot on.

Hello everyone

Hello Marko, welcome to the OB family.

 

[roots66]

Hi everyone! My name is Tim and I'm from North NJ.

What little off-roading/overlanding knowledge I have comes from riding shotgun in my buddy's Wrangler, but now I'm just a few weeks from being behind the wheel of a 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-Road!
2-3 weeks left 'til it arrives but I figured it was time to make an account on here anyways. Excited to be here, seems like a great place :)

Hello Tim, welcome to the OB family.

 

[roots66]

Hi there, new to the group and to NorCal overlanding adventures. Been wheeling the AZ Desert for many years with a couple of different rigs, but now I’m in the Sacramento area with my 2021 Ram PowerWagon and looking to find others to hit the trails with.
