Hi There, My Name is Erik. I live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Level of Overlander... I'd say moderate. I have exciting goals, now i need to gain the experience to realize them.
Current vehicle is a 2017 Tacoma TRD OR. Currently building the truck up to work for my family of 4. I will be installing some goodies on the truck shortly, so will upload a photo after that. :)
Hi Eric,

Welcome to the OB community from us in France.

Just joined the Overland Bound Community and am feeling my way around. I consider myself a novice , but in the late 70's I did my graduate field research (I'm a geologist) in the Death Valley area and did a fair bit of off-road travel there. I've also camper vanned in New Zealand, Tasmania, Utah, California and Idaho.
I've spent many days backpacking, kayak camping and car camping. I've just ordered a 2024 Tacoma TRD off-road with a 6 ft bed and a Tune pop-top camper to go with it. I plan do do a simple build out and am hoping to get some ideas and advice from the forums and other members as I do so.
Welcome to the overland community Bill, enjoy and be safe.

Greetings fellow travelers! New member here but have been doing this for a while now, although until recently just figured I was just driving through the woods and camping when I got tired... never realizing there was a name for it lol! I am a wrecker and recovery operator which is slightly helpful when off roading and needing to help someone or myself get out whatever mayhem just happened. Graduated from my 07 FJC to a 2023 Gladiator (JTR) about 6 months ago and have been upgrading and modding as much as my time and finances can afford, seems to be an ongoing process and most definitely an addiction. Most recent long trip was solo last fall on the WABDR sections 1-5, having to bail the last section due to a battery problem in Conconully. No lift at this point but the 35's on the rubicon suspension seem to be a pretty good combination to get me where I need to go. Looking forward to meeting some great people out there!

Hello - I'm Dave - I have an '07 Honda Pilot (4x4) that's been a decent all around rig for us , but I am interested in improving its ground clearance . We've camped for many years , but we're finding we have to go to more remote spots to avoid the crowds , which means worse roads - so I'm looking for advice on a lift kit and skid plates to avoid undercarriage damage. Anyone have experience or advice in this area ? Thanx !
Welcome to the OB community Dave!!!
