Hey guys! My name is Tommy. From Denver Colorado. Currently overlanding with my wife of 15yrs and 6yr old daughter. We run a 2018 Tacoma, and the last 2019 Patriot X1GT to come to the states.
We love the Rockies, but truly enjoy Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. We’re spoiled here in the mile high city!

Can’t wait to meet more of you all!

Hi! I'm Sarah. My adventure vehicle is Beatrice (Bea). She's a 2014 Nissan Xterra. We're hoping to get a lot of miles and adventure in this year. I joined Overland Bound in hopes of discovering places to camp. I'm @Oregon.xterra on Instagram.

Hello Sarah, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hello everyone, I'm Ethan. I live in Barnegat, NJ and drive a 2020 Jeep Gladiator.

I've been in love with the outdoors my whole life but only discovered overlanding a couple years ago. I've completed a ton of off road adventures all over the US and at Jeep events but my interests are changing. The excitement of just being off the grid for a while has outweighed my desires to get off-camber like in my younger days. So this year I'm taking my rig and adapting it to tackle the world, rather than the off road park. Thanks for having me!

As far as real overlanding, I just completed my first trip last fall and (mostly) soloed the Trans NJ Trail - thanks to guides and routes I found right here on OB. ️

Eric from Nebraska here. All of my backcountry trips have been human powered: long, self-sufficient backpacking and bikepacking excursions. I’m comfortable being miles from anyone for days at a time. But there are also areas farther from cement roads I would like to explore by bike and foot, so I’m trying to educate myself about how to make a vehicle capable and self-reliant on forest service / BLM roads.

I have a 1998 CRV AWD manual with 170,000 miles that I bought as the second owner in 2005. It’s been driven very little in the last few years—we mainly use it for in-town travel during snowstorms. And, it’s totally stock.

For a trip this summer, I’ll be car camping and mountain biking with friends in the Gunnison Valley of Colorado, so I want to install A/T tires, maybe a slight lift, and maybe a skidplate. I’ll be carrying recovery boards and an air compressor.

So, trying to decide how best to make the car safe and capable for a 10-hour interstate drive followed by 15-20 miles on rougher dirt roads through mountains.

Hello Eric, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hello Sarah, Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @Big G 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.

Welcome! What a trade to be in! I’m an electrician by trade and have done a lot of rock climbing for fun. But to climb for work would be epic!
