Hello All,
I am from Strasburg Pennsylvania and to be totally honest I become interested in this from watching Lifestyle Overland YouTube videos. I was hooked with the places they have gone. I am going to try and ease myself into this and see where it takes me. I have a 2021 Toyota 4Runner but I'm not sure I'm ready to take it out just yet. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to learn. tempImagelE6CSq.jpg

Good morning, I am from south west Iowa, New to overlanding. Just went to Rendezvous in the Ozarks put on by Natural State Overland. I am planning on going to the MOORE expo in April. Currently I am in a Jeep Liberty Renegade, I have a 92 Bronco that I am considering building.
Welcome to OB, Clayton! We're glad to have you here. I built a 92 Bronco with a 331 stroker in it and I absolutely loved that truck. Enjoy OB!

Hey everyone Wally here. I just bought a 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport which will be my new overland vehicle.
Welcome to OB, Wally! We're glad to have you here. I love that Lunar Rock color, had a Rav4 Adventure in Lunar Rock as a rental in Orlando and thoroughly enjoyed it, couldn't stop looking at it because of that color. Enjoy!

Location: Bozeman, MT
Rig: 2015 Subaru Forester Premium 2.5i
Experience: New to the game - Big into the outdoors via running, climbing, highlining, fly fishing and camping.
Welcome to OB, Evan! We're glad to have you here. Enjoy!

My name is Raymond. Building a 2015 Tacoma Double cab. Currently in OKC and know just enough to be dangerous but the trucks isn’t on fire or stuck in the ditch so I am doing OK guess. Right now building a roof rack and at the same time sound deadening the rear seat area for a platform. I HATE this damn stuff. But even only 1/3 done it’s made a huge difference
Welcome to OB, Raymond! We're glad to have you here. Enjoy!

Hello! Hunter Guerrero here. This is my 2016 Jeep Wrangler JKU Sport S. Her name is Celia Cruise but I have a hood banner that says ARROZCON. That might need an explanation. I have many DIY projects on her including a solar water tank and most recently a tailgate table. Ever evolving and I only have about $30,000 in mods to go! I live in Northern California and haven’t gone too far outside my area to adventure but I’d like to. That’s why I joined up here.
Welcome to OB, Hunter! We're glad to have you here, I'd about guarantee that when you get that invested you'll find another $30K to spend too! Enjoy!

Hello Everyone. My name is Peter and I go by Fig. It's great to join the community and I am really looking forward to this new journey in both my life and my wifie. We are older, but with young hearts and still very adventurous. We have moved from a Jeep Rubicon JK to the new Launch Edition Gladiator which we absolutely love. We have been camping for many years and now that we are approaching our retirement years we want to begin our overlanding experience. Hopefully with this community we can begin that journey.. Next step for us in fact this coming weekend is to head out from North Carolina all the way to Boise Idaho to pick up our new overlanding rig, the Conqueror UEV 490. Looking forward to meeting any locals near Raleigh area in NC. Cheers! Fig
Welcome to OB, Fig! We're glad to have you here. Hope to see you and that rig out on the trails. Enjoy!

Hey OB Crew - My name is CJ and my wife and I call Northern California home. We have a '19 4Runner ORP with a few things. Accutune gave us a Fox setup, RCI sliders, Icon links, Prinsu rack, skids... and I got a Pelfrey bumper from the BAMF yardsale. I've done a little wheeling in the past, but definitely novice at best. Oh and we just landed a new Opus OP4 trailer last month. Super excited to get this out and use it!
Welcome to OB, CJ! We're glad to have you here. That's a sweet rig! Enjoy!

My rig is a 87 Ford Bronco XLT. Still doing upgrades.
For now I'm still in Tampa Bay area Florida.
I enjoy the outdoors when not extremely hot. I have some knowledge of overland from being in the military. I also have search and rescue training. Plus medical. That is my dog Stella in my bronco.
Welcome to OB, Matthew! We're glad to have you here. Enjoy!

Hello Overland Bounders,
My name is Mark.
Rigs several…I have an addiction to overland rigs, mostly cause until my recent retirement I worked as the sales & marketing rep for Colorado Camper Van. So the current stable is a 2004 CCV built E350 6.0 uh_oh 4x4 high top w/ full interior build out, 2000 E350 Ujoint built 4x4 van (currently giving it a face lift) and 2015 Jeep JKUR with Ursa Minor pop top.
I reside in Loveland CO. Been into overlanding for 10 years or so… but was really doing it before I even knew the term.
My hobbies out side of overlanding include in no particular order - dogs, rock climbing, mtn biking, fly fishing, alpine skiing & surfing.
Welcome to OB, Mark! We're glad to have you here. Sweet rigs! Enjoy!

Hey all! Mitch here. I recently started customizing my 2019 Ford Ranger and came across overlanding while looking for inspiration. Instantly I knew it was destined to be my life long hobby and money sink. I'm pretty crafty when it comes to mechanics and fabrication, and I love hiking and camping. So why not mix the two? I've never officially been overlanding so I hope this community can help guide me through gear set up and get a trip or two under my belt. I'm currently in the east coast but would love to make my way out to the west coast in the next couple or years.

I look forward to the adventure!
