We live in North East Wisconsin east of Green Bay and love going to Texas with our Jeep. Our rig is a work in progress, we’re set up for camping but now we need to work on suspension, rims and bigger tiresView attachment 253043

Hi. I guess I'm supposed to post all this stuff here :)

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
View attachment 253094
2) Location (General area is fine)
Austin, TX area
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
2021 4Runner Venture
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
Basically zero. I've done a lot of backroading and dirtroading, and a little bit of camping, but I've never really combined the two. And never solo, like I'm planning now.
Greetings Scott, welcome to Overland Bound!

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.
Hey Russ, welcome to Overland Bound from Northern California! And I think what you shared would make a cool testimonial for the OB1 app!
Definitely!! Not sure what we would have done without the app.

Super excited to be here! Retired Fire. I am slowly converting an ambulance into a camper. Goal is to just hit the roads and explore as much as possible and meet cool people along the way!
Welcome to the OV community from Illinois. What an exciting project for some great adventures.
