Hi, I am OB. Currently, we live in Palmer, Alaska, but are heading on a relocation overlanding trip to South Carolina March 30th, 2024.

Grew up in PNW, near Eatonville, WA, with lots of wheeling experiences in those areas. Military background with minimalist and backcountry experience.

Now, I am more mellow, especially when only one rig on the trail and its just my wife and 14yr old pup.

We have a 2019 4Runner TRD ORP, that has just turned into a more capable overlanding rig (lift, tires, ridiculous electronics mounts, dual batteries, fridge, etc... pics in current state and more to come durimg the next weeks).

Looking forward to being part of the community and wish I found this earlier in my planning!
Greetings Brandon, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hey everyone. New guy from LI, NY. My name is Tom. I drive a 2021 Toyota Tacoma. It has a few things done to it and is my camping/beach wheeling/trail bombing adventure suit. I am usually in the woods with my wife and dogs (Huskies) trying to figure out where we should camp. We love adventuring and look forward to checking the forums out!

Hello friends, I'm Larry and from Texas.
I drive a 2006 Ram 2500 and looking to get into some car camping... errrr overlanding... now that the kids are a bit older. I come from an ADV and touring motorcycle background so the 4wd thing is all kind of new to me.
Welcome to Overland Bound Larry
If you could edit your profile to include a city or town it would help the app and members get you local information. Texas is a big place ;-)

Hi! I’m Harry, new to the app so here is my intro. I’m from Camden, Delaware, my wife and I have both a 2009 JKU that is fairly well outfitted for our local area, as well as a 2000 disco 2 that I picked up cheap to build at the local tech school where I teach automotive to Adults. We are fairly well versed in camping and the outdoors, from tents and hiking to a 40’ toy hauler and everything in between. Just getting into the overland side of things though, planning on the PA bdr loop this summer.

Hi, my name is Shawn, and I'm a novice overlander from Knoxville, TN. I was happy to find this group while searching for ways to attach a platform for a RTT that would work over the bed of my truck, attached by means of a Rhino track style bedrail track,while allowing to keep my Undercover tonneau cover in place. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank youView attachment 275602

Welcome to Overland Bound Keith. You've got a great rig to build on. Do your research and take your time. For now, throw a tent in the back and get out and explore.
