Hello Everyone,

My wife and I are honored to be a part of this forum as new members. We are based in Colorado and are both 4th generation Colorado natives. We have hiked, hunted, climbed, skied, explored, and 4-wheeled nearly every inch of our home state and most of the western U.S. over the last 50+ years of our outdoor experience. Our current rig is a 2020 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison outfitted with an AluCab Canopy Camper, and many custom built-out features. You can see our build in the Build Forum here:

We look forward to getting to know many of you and hopefully seeing some of you on the trail!

Hello everyone,
New member relocated to NE Florida and looking for overlanding community near me (I'll get to searching the forum soon!) I have a '19 Ford Raptor that loves to get dirty. I'd consider myself a novice Overlander that loves hiking/backpacking but now with two kids I need a vehicle to haul everything!! Looking forward to learning from others mistakes and meeting good like-minded people!! Cheers, CM

[Skubasteve1010]

Hello everyone Steve here I live in Colorado Springs CO. I have been camping most of my life. New to overlanding. I have a 97 4Runner and a 72 Blazer (under construction) I use them to pull my hummer trailer set up. She’s still under construction also. Love this site so far love the builds.

Welcome to OB, I think our rigs and setups are always under construction or at least evolving

 

[Sir_Wolfattude]

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.

Greetings everyone my name is Joseph I am a new member, I guess you can say I'm one that's getting back to nature I'm 51 but on disability since 2008, the vehicle I have is a 1999 Yukon Denali I bought it years ago and the upgrades I've done you cannot see it, 350 crate motor, transmission, upgraded front and rear differentials from 8.25 to 8.50 so I could handle more off-road and tow more, I've also upgraded the transfer case so I guess you could say the important parts have been replaced, yes I do have a lift in mind and different tires but as it is I'm just going with what I could afford at the moment I'm looking forward to meeting more of you and enjoying what time I have left, although if anybody knows where to get aftermarket parts for a Denali that would be nice, there's aftermarket parts for Yukon and Yukon XL but once you say Denali nobody has parts lol, anyways I'm in southern Nevada and town called Pahrump just outside Las Vegas on the California border.
