Hi all. New member here. Rig is almost done (lol - I’m sure I will always be adding to it but at least it is ready for its maiden voyage.). Here’s some pics.

Hello overland peeps. Been off-roading in my 2000 Nissan Xterra for 22 years, but have only been in the overlanding gig for 1 year now and really enjoy it. I dove in head-first and did a rear seat delete and built a sleep platform and kitchen/drawer system in March of last year. Since then, I've done about a dozen overnight trips and four multi-day trips with a local group to the Fla Adventure Trail and the GA Traverse twice in opposite directions. So I'm still dialing in my rig, but as it stands right now, I'm happy with it.

Can't wait to spend more time overlanding once I retire from the military...probably within the next year. I have so many spots picked out to explore out West.

I look forward to the information that this community can provide.View attachment 277882View attachment 277879View attachment 277874View attachment 277875View attachment 277876View attachment 277877

Hello Mandt! Welcome to Overland Bound! Your rig looks pretty cool.

 

[BOMBS]

New Members,

Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!

A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)

We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!

In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:

From @administrator

• Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
• We will not further define "overlanding".
• "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
• You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
• Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
• Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
• Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
• It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
• We do not care about make or model.
• We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
• We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
• Humility.
• We respect, fear, and protect nature.
• "I don't know" is a great answer.
• We don’t brag about exploits.
• We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
• We engage in the very smallest of interactions.

Hi All,

I’m Joe and I reside in South Jersey. I want to get into overlanding and some off-roading. I’m new to it so I have lots to learn. I have a 04 sequoia that I’m working on and I hope to do some of the meet ups soon.

Hello Joe! Welcome to Overland Bound!

 

[BOMBS]

Hello everyone, new here from New Jersey. I’m GerryC. Did off roading a bit with my Land Rover prior pandemic. Started building a camping trailer on and off for 3 years which I just finished few weeks ago. Looking forward for more adventures.

Hello GerryC! Welcome to Overland Bound!

 

[David_561cfd]

Hi, I'm Mike aka GreatCJ8
I've always loved camping. Most of it has been car camping of some sort or another. Of late has been dispersed camping in the George Washington National Forest in my AWD CRV & now that its restomod is done, in my jeep scrambler. My dog & I fit perfectly in the back with an airmattress that fits snug in the bed. Above that I'm mounting 2 crossmembers & a luggage basket ontop & moving the spare up top.
Inside I'm going to test setting up my one tigris tent & instead of poles, tying it under the crossmembers. If it works = Super easy overlanding. If not we can still sleep in the bed for 2 seasons that don't have mosquitos. As far as getting my glampy wife camping I'll need a trailer with HVAC for the other 2 seasons =)
So here is the base model, once advertised as the OG SUV-
I got the overland bug BAD from the Idaho Overland Movie on youtube & have since started an insta page around jeeping 4x4, overlanding, bacon, fires, dogs, scotch/ repeat

Nice JEEP welcome sir

Hi,
I’m Machelle and my husband Mike, we are just starting to get a bit more serious about overlanding. Mainly to see areas where the crowds don’t go. As for rigs, we have 2 Jeeps a 1990 and a 2012, we just got a 2024 Frontier.
We are located in Idaho. View attachment 277612

Nice pic

I'm Tim from Western Pa, my rig is a stock 2023 Nissan Frontier.
I'm a novice with lots of questions.

welcome sir

Not the most experienced overlander yet, but I've gone a few times with no issues! I always make sure I'm prepared for wherever I'm going. Definitely look forward to doing so more often too! Currently using my '95 Chevy C1500, but working on fixing up my original rig, a '99 Ford Explorer and using that again! Definitely was nice to have the closed in cab, but let me tell ya, closing in the bed of the truck with a mesh tarp for the bugs and all but still being able to stare up at the stars, so amazing...! I'm located out in Florida but do travel a lil' outward for some camping spots!
