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.

Hello William & Kathy, welcome to Overland Bound.
Greetings
Great website, looking forward to checking it out more.
My names AJ and my wife and I have been vehicle camping since the 1980s. Our longest full time outing was 7 years, travelling CONUS, and the Caribbean.
Nations visited- Canada, France, Germany, Bermuda, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Sicily, Malta, Greece, Columbia, and Jamaica.
We started out traveling in Jeep Cherokees, Wranglers, then Class B, super C and eventually A s. We currently travel in our 6X6.
My wife and I restore and build Rvs and off road vehicles for a hobby. I am retired USMC.
Our continuing travel plans this summer, is the east coast, Appalachians then the Midwest.
Hope to see you on the trails.
