Been a “fan” for quite some time. Found ourselves slightly lost is Southern Az trying to follow BDR. Remembered that Overland Bound had an app and sure enough, app had the BDR route (in AZ) and we were not on it. signed up immediately and then used it to finish BDR seg 1 & 2. And the route definitely tested my rookie abilities.

Welcome to the OB community from northern Illinois. Nice picture of your rig. Was that taken in Southern Illinois? If so, that looks like a fun trail.

Hello fellow enthusiasts!
I’m in the Phoenix metro area and run a 2001 4Runner that I bought new. It’s built to handle the AZ trails.
I’m intermediate at best and love new adventures and challenges! Looking forward to using this platform to connect with others in the area and experience some new spots, locally and out of area.
HI Cadrummo! Welcome to OB!

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. Little too beat up to get out backpacking like I used to, so built out the Overland rig to get carry me through the adventures into the great outdoors.
Hi Brian! Welcome to OB! Holler if you have any questions.
