Hi, I'm Frank from North Texas (Wichita Falls), been following y'all for awhile and thought I'd go ahead and become a member. Looking forward to chatting and learning some overlanding tips from ya! I have a 2001 Nissan Xterra I've had for about 6 months now, just getting all the bugs and possible bugs fixed before I start building up the rig. View attachment 237116

Welcome Frank, glad you joined!

 

[Tyranny2k]

Hello! Been owner of this 1994 FZJ80 for 15 years. Was our everyday driver for 8 of those. Became the snow and surf wagon. Been bringing her up to snuff with allot of overdue maintenance, body and paint, a 4" lift, 33" tires on stock powder coated rims. Slee short bus front bumper. Still waiting on the rear. I'm an avid mountain biker, love camping, but relatively new to the off road/overland scene. Learning!

Hello Carlos, welcome to Overland Bound.

 

[spectresys]

Hello everyone! I am Eric from Leesburg, Virginia, USA. I am a novice at Overlanding and just getting started. In my youth, I backpacked and camped all the time. My other hobby is motorcycle touring across the US and Canada.

My rig is a 2022 Ford Raptor and starting my journey to figure out how I outfit my rig with a dizzying number of options! First priority seems like it should be recovery!! I hope to meet-up someday.

 

[deagle]

Hello all, after many many years of dreaming, the wife and I finally took the plunge and bought a cargo trailer toy hauler to convert into our own personal adventure trailer. We've got a bunch of kids so even the relatively tame activity of heading to a campground is an adventure for us.

I'm planning to slowly convert our rig into something we can comfortably boondock with over time.

Hello Everyone,

John here from the San Diego area. My wife and I are in our late 50's and hoping to meet up with like minded adventurers for weekend trips and longer overland trails. We did a lot of car camping, when the kids were young, out of a Jeep Cherokee in the 80's, then later is a F250 full size truck with a slide in camper, then to a Class C RV. Seems we have come full circle lol. Getting out of the campground structure and into the wild is our desire now.

Here is our rig.

We are novice Overlanders and good Adventure seekers. :)
