Hello,

I’m Brian, my friends call me “BC”. I live in the Central Valley if California. I am new to Overlanding; at least the extended traveling aspect. I have dispersed camped, offroaded, backpacked most of my life.

I drive a 2022 Tacoma SR5, otherwise known as NotaTRD. It was purchased with a dealer installed lift and 33” BFG AT KO2 tires. Best choice for now until factory warranty expires. I’ll then add items as needed.

Happy to be here and can’t wait to get started.
Welcome to Overland Bound BC.

Just joined and have some off roading experience. I live west of Houston, Texas (Katy) Driving a 2009 stock LC 200 purchased at local Toyota dealership. I'm looking to upgrade suspension, add sliders and possibly front and rear bumpers for trip to Alaska. Any insight or recommendations would be appreciated. View attachment 257880

Hi All,

I'm Carlo, and I'm a Portland, OR member with some (not a lot) of overlanding experience. I recently got a new Ford Bronco and I'm looking forward to using it to explore beautiful places, discover good camping spots, and just generally taking advantage of all that the PNW has to offer. I'm looking forward to learning new skills, meeting other folks, and doing a lot more vehicle based travel than I have in the last few years.
Greetings Carlo, welcome to Overland Bound!

G'day overlanders! Glad to have found this resource. Excited to learn and grow here. Still working on fitting out my new Tacoma and so far just spent some time exploring the Ouachita Mountains and National Forest in OK and the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India.
Greetings Cyndie, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hi y'all! I'm Lou and I live just outside Huntsville, Alabama. I'm pretty much a total noob to overlanding, but it's something I've always wanted to do; as you can tell by my username the outdoors (and amateur radio) is a big part of my life. I just bought a new 4Runner and I want to add the ability to utilize it properly to my skillset, so I'm looking forward to what I can learn here and use that to expand my outdoor activities. My plan is to not modify it extensively but to make some improvements over time. I previously had a Jeep TJ but that project never really got off the ground, so I sold it a few years ago. Now I'm on my second attempt and I found OB while doing research.
