Hello everyone, new member but not to the custom car community. Have had many show cars over the years but now just want to be able to enjoy life and my family and overlanding and camping is something that we all enjoy!

Location:South East Missouri
Rig: 2018 f150 4x4 with the 2.7 ecoboost, will be starting a build on this from one hundred percent stock in the next few months
Experience: Novice to intermediate, have done some dumb stuff in a rig that was more capable than I was at the time. But now with a family of five, I am way more cautious.

Hey Overland Bound fellow,

Greeting from Switzerland!

I just got a Jeep wrangler 4xe and planning to do some nice trips around Iceland, Sardinia, Portugal, and the Balkans these next years.
The Jeep is full stock but I will share when new aftersales pieces will complete the beast ;)

Thanks to the managers to maintain this kind of forum ^^ We need you guys.

Hope to see some of you for a beer in the mud

Cheers,

John
Great to have you.

Hey y'all, west Tennesseans here. We typically adventure in an 05 LJR with our DIY camper. Just got a new to us 17 JKUR that is gonna be much easier on our older bones for the longer trips and outfitting will begin soon.

Hello, I am Wyatt. I am very new to overlanding. Have been interested in it for a while but just never got into to it. I am from Columbus MS. I just got a 2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 And hope to get out and use it soon. It is also my daily driver. It needs some work but I don't mind that. I got a good deal on it and I have to have a vehicle anyway. I do hope to start installing some up grades for overlanding soon.
Nice to have ya. Good luck with those upgrades.

I am Joshua, from northern Virginia! I am a real novice. I have been an outdoorsmen for years: camping, hiking, mountain biking, boating, etc., so overlanding is the logical next step. I don't have a serious rig yet, but am doing some light overlanding in my stock 2015 Honda Civic; it's fine for general dirt and gravel roads in good weather, even some easy forest roads if I am careful. I pulled out the back seats and installed a sleeping platform from driver's seat into the trunk.

I am working on being able to get a better rig though; I am leaning towards a Nissan Frontier Pro-4X, previous generation, though I am also considering a Subaru Forester if I decide I don't want to do anything too extreme.

1) Denver, Colorado
2) 2000 Jeep XJ - XJ Revkit Link - Still building and expanding like everyone else...
3) Overlanding Experience Background: Novice - intermediate for the 2nd time. My wife and I just started back up camping and exploring again after a VERY long hiatus. From Tents to slide-in campers, then into a truck with a 5th wheel along with a boat. We were either camping, boating, or both every weekend during the spring/summer throughout the fall. Until we were severely hit by the dot-com crash and lost everything including the house and all our belonging. However, we survived and are doing very well and decided to start exploring once again.

Hey everyone! I’m new, joined a couple months ago. Own a 2008 Wrangler Rubicon JKU. Live in the San Diego/Temecula, Ca area, retired USMC. Started overlanding when Covid kicked off as a way to get outdoors and back to nature! As I post this, I just picked up my 22’ Jeep 392 XR…can’t wait to build it up and hit the trails!
