New member here, I am a novice overlander and hit the trails when I can. I have completed the Trans American Trail and would like to do the Continental Divide next.
I live in Virginia Beach, my rig is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. Trying to build it out with a bed rack and RTT. Looking at getting a metal cloak lift in the near future as well.
other than that, keep on the trail!!

Hello, that would be great. I've been searching around on here and couldn't find many folks around our area. I was just up in Kalispell last weekend. Definitely have to have a meet up. You can get ahold of me here for now. I'm heavy into archery so weekends are sorta hit and miss bit I'm game to have a meet and greet.

 

[Montana Carl]

Great, next time your in Kalispell let me know. I will be gone this weekend through Wednesday visiting my father in Oregon. I’m looking forward to meeting you and looking at your truck it’s fun building out Overland Vehicles.

New Members,

Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!

A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)

We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!

In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:

From @administrator

• Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
• We will not further define "overlanding".
• "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
• You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
• Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
• Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
• Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
• It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
• We do not care about make or model.
• We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
• We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
• Humility.
• We respect, fear, and protect nature.
• "I don't know" is a great answer.
• We don’t brag about exploits.
• We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
• We engage in the very smallest of interactions.

Hello Spencer and Tracy, welcome.

 

[LRFam1718]

Since I have not been very active, I figured I would give an updated introduction.

We started our journey with two Land Rover LR4s. As we transitioned from TN to MO, we also transitions to a Ram family of vehicles: my wife has a 1500 Rebel with some extra skid protection, and I have started building my 2500 power wagon.

I look forward to gaining some insight from our community as we finally buy time to get out and enjoy nature.

See you on the trails!

Updated Hello Michael, welcome to the OB family.

Thank you!

Hi all. Rowan here from Raleigh NC. I’m a novice and my rig is a 2011 Volvo XC70 T6 AWD. Just got lift kit, Bilsteins and more, and rooftop tent just arrived. I’d like to convert my utility trailer to our overland camper. Ah, to dream…!!

Sounds like a cool rig, you should share some photos/build progress

 

[Roaming Rury]

Will do. Just learning how to navigate through it. Are you able to see the picture I posted earlier??
