Hey all. New to the forum. Currently searching for a 4Runner Trd Off-road to get into some overlanding. Have lots of experience hiking and camping, but with a 2 year old I will be doing more overlanding. Located on the Gulf Coast.

Welcome! I was born and raised on the Gulf Coast of SE Tx! Camping with kiddos is challenging but something they will most def remember! The memories of camping, chasing squirrels, day long rafting adventures on the lake, staring at the fire eating s’mores are some of my earliest and most fond! Good on ya for getting them out!

Welcome to OB!! I was born and raised in Tx but moved to Ar a few years ago! Nice GX! I’ve been looking all over for a good clean GX for my wife for a while now! Great platforms to build on!

Hello all I'm Travis and brand new to the overlanding world. I come from the rock crawling world in my 87 toyota 4runner or what was left of it... lol . I live in Granbury tx and look forward to exploring not only texas but the surrounding states aswell. I finally gave in and sold my rock rig and started converting my 99 chevy silverado for overlanding. Here is a few pics.

Hi Pete. Welcome to Overland Bound from southern CA.

Hey everyone. I live in the Central Florida area and I'm new to overlanding. I've been watching hundreds of YouTube videos about it, and really want to get into it.

I recently bought a new 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness. It feels like it could be a good middle ground between needing an everyday driver, and something that can get me places a normal 2WD couldn't. Certainly not a super off roader, but maybe I'll save that for the future when I have more experience.

Anyway, I'd love to learn more about places to go, things to do, especially in and around Florida. I love camping, but am finding it really hard to book official campgrounds, everything is always booked, so, i'm guessing overlanding might be able to help me and my son get outdoors more without the limitation of a specific campground site reservation.

Any and all advice / help / guidance is welcome.

Take Care!

Oh boy do I have questions for you about Sprinters (and related; been considering a conversion for family outings and I'm always going back on forth). I'm in LA as well; where are you interested in dispersed camping? (Mountains? Desert?) I have a few places pinned.

Greetings to all the thrill-seekers out there!

I'm Marcus, and I am passionate about overlanding. I embark on exciting journeys through the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand.

Let me introduce you to my 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser 79.



My place of residence is Christchurch, a city situated in the South Island of New Zealand.

Most of my travels are concentrated within the South Island (God's country), but I do take occasional trips to the other lot (the north) :)

My experience with 4wd and off-road vehicles extends throughout my entire life.

I am excited to be a member of this community and see how the states does things.
