Hello! Prior rock crawler here. Wife and I now looking to overland, hike, camp and whatever else outdoors. Recently purchased ‘21 Unlimited Rubicon XR as our rig. Based out of Houston, TX area.

Thought we wanted to overland and after recent trip to Big Bend NP we agreed we were right. Can’t wait to learn and hear others adventures.
Welcome to the Team, love the Rig. I have been looking into a 2020-2021 Rubi myself for an JXL conversion - following in the footsteps of EFRT. Can't wait to see your adventures in that sweet Jeep. Keep us posted please... in the mean time safe travels and thank you for sharing.

Hello Steve, welcome to Overland Bound.
Good morning folks! New to the forum and overlanding but not new to camping, 4 wheeling or adventure. Born and raised in FL but been around Columbus, OH for almost 10 years. I am in the oil & gas engineering business and travel around the country most every week.

I have a 15 day trip to some Montana Forest Service cabins via a rental Jeep Rubicon scheduled for June.

Now that's what I'm talking about -15 days out in Montana. Let me know if you need an assistant to follow along... I have two pups myself that can't wait to get out on some road trips.

Morning y'all!! New to the forum and overlanding (only been once with a rental).
Vehicle: 2014 1500 Ram Ecodiesel (not currently setup for overlanding, working on that part as we speak....)
Location: Currently stationed on Oahu - moving to Clearwater FL this summer.

I'm using my summer move to overland across the country with my 8 year old daughter, stopping at multiple places along the way during our 2-3 week trip.

I have seen Michael's youtube channel (as well as a few others) and been researching the best gear for my travels and budget.

Current wants (by order of need/want): Rack, Tent, Awning, Bed drawers (thinking about building this one), Electrical setup, Fridge... can't think of much more right now. Thanks for letting me join on this adventure with everyone!

Hello, I'm new to this forum, but not new to what is now known as "overlanding". I'm building an 89 Ford Bronco II, It's my 2nd. The first has more than 400,000 miles and has taken me all over the United States, as well as served as a tow and work vehicle. Admirably...I must add.
The new project will include a 5.0 upgrade, 4R70W trans, Dana 20 xnfer case, along with the D35/8.8 combo I used on the old truck. Along with a whole pile of upgrades to every system on the truck.
I'll be using this for everything from local runs, to towing my boat on fishing trips, and traveling/camping with my wife.
I'm most interested to know how the overlanding community has solved some of the challenges of getting off road and getting home safely.
