Sup everyone,

I’m from Waldorf, MD. My rig (soon to be rigged out) is a Ford Bronco Badlands Sasquatch. As of now I am a complete noob but looking forward to learning a thing or two.
Greetings Anthony, welcome to Overland Bound!

I just joined OB this morning, so I suppose I’ll introduce myself.
My name is William Graves (OB # 30818) and my wife is Kathy.
We are from Texas and have been having adventures for the past 4 years in her 2020 RAV4.
During this time I have been building our over landing rig. I am very happy with the progress of my build and am getting really close to having it completed.
1997 Toyota Tacoma with a ton of mods and a few more to come.
Our first big trip in the Tacoma will be this August, when we will be traveling to Alaska.
Happy to be a part of the team. 3BE9BDD8-2951-4688-BB5C-7F5296D20260.jpeg
